4.0 Getting Started:
4.1 Installing Batteries in your Remote Control
• Remove the Battery Compartment cover by sliding it downwards
• Install two AAA batteries (not supplied) taking care to observe the correct polarity.
• Replace the Battery Compartment cover by sliding it upwards.
NOTE: If you will not be using your Remote control for sometime then remove the
batteries to prevent risk of leakage and subsequent damage.
• If your remote starts to operate erratically then the batteries are probably drained. Replace
both batteries with new, do not mix new and old.
• Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible way. They must not be
disposed of in normal household waste. Many stores now have a recycling point for
batteries.
4.2 Using your Remote Control
• Always point the Remote Control at the Receiver. It will operate successfully over
a range of around 6m and at an angle of +/- 30o.
• Remember, strong light or objects in the path of the Infra red beam will affect the
performance of the Remote Control adversely.
4.3 Connecting your Receiver
• Your QUICK START GUIDE shows the simplest and most effective way to connect your
Receiver and get watching! The following information describes in more detail the use
of your new Digital receiver.
• Connecting the TV Aerial: Your TV aerial needs to be connected to the “TV Antenna
In” at the rear of your Receiver. Digital TV requires a good quality signal, for optimum
reception use a loft or roof mounted High Gain Aerial. If in doubt contact your local
Aerial Installer.
• Connecting to your Television: There are four methods to connect your Receiver to
your Television. These will be described in descending order of Picture Quality with the
best first, please also refer to the CONNECTION DIAGRAM at the end of this section
for further guidance:
• HDMI: If your TV is equipped with an HDMI Input then this is both the easiest and
the best method of connection. An HDMI connection delivers both picture and sound
at high quality. Using the supplied HDMI cable connect the HDMI socket on the rear of
your Receiver to an available HDMI Socket on your TV.
• Component (Y, Pb, Pr): Whilst this connection can deliver similar picture quality to
HDMI the sound has to be separately connected. Using a 3 Way Cinch (RCA) type
cable (not supplied) connect the Component Outputs on the rear of your receiver to the
corresponding inputs on your TV, carefully observing the colour coding. You will
then need to connect the Audio Left and Audio Right outputs to the corresponding
inputs on your Television. These again use RCA type connectors.
7
• SCART: A fully compliant SCART connector is available if your TV has neither of the
previous methods of connection available. SCART (as with HDMI) connects both Picture
and Sound, however picture quality will be somewhat inferior to both HDMI and
Component. Using a SCART cable (not supplied) connect “TV SCART” on the rear of
the Receiver to the SCART socket on your TV.
• CVBS: This is the least effective method of connection, as with Component, it also
needs separate audio feeds to the TV. Using a 3 way Cinch (RCA) cable connect the
VIDEO and AUDIO LEFT / AUDIO RIGHT of your receiver to the TV
• SPDIF Audio Connection (Optical): This receiver is equipped with an Optical Audio
Out. This is very useful if you have an external Audio Amplifier or Home Theatre
System. You will need an Optical Cable (not supplied) to connect the two units together.
Connecting your Box:

4.4 Operating your Receiver
Now you have connected your Receiver you are ready to tune it in and complete the
installation.
• Connect the Mains Plug of the Receiver to a
convenient Wall Socket and switch on. The INITIAL
INSTALL screen opposite will be displayed.
• Check the following, using the CURSOR KEYS and
OK button as required:
• OSD Language - English
• Country - UK
• Time Zone - Auto
• LCN (Logical Channel Numbering) On
• Using the CURSOR KEYS move down to START
SEARCH and press OK. The receiver will automatically
search and store all Digital Programmes available in your
area, including where present any HD Channels being
Broadcast.
• Your receiver is now ready to use. Use the NUMERIC or CH+- keys to change
Programme and the VOL+- to control the volume. There are many more features and
functions that you can explore and use (these will be covered in the remainder of
this manual) but you will now be able to watch and enjoy your Digital Television
programmes.
4.5 EPG
The EPG is an extremely useful tool that
enables you to see for up to 7 days ahead
(8 days including the current day) the
Programmes that are available for you
to view.
In this screen you can:
• Select a Programme to view
• Set a Programme Reminder
• Set a Record Request
• Set a Series Link recording
• Check what Programmes are on in the next week.
Press EPG and follow the ON SCREEN “COLOURED BUTTON” prompts to select the
feature you require.
