2.7 Using the remote control and USB adapter

Please first insert the USB adapter of the remote control in a free USB port. This USB adapter receives
the RF (radio controlled) signals from remote control. Without this adapter only the Standby button
will work via the IR sensor (infrared). The remote control has an in-built “G-sensor” which is used as
pointer on your screen in the Android mode. This is called as “Air mouse” function and allows you to
move the pointer by moving the remote control through the air.

PART 1

Note: As this function uses more power as normal pressing of buttons we

Under normal conditions your remote control has been paired with the USB adapter in the factory
and therefore the “Air mouse” function of your remote control will directly work for your receiver.
In case you can only use the q button on the remote control and none of the other buttons have
a function, or in case the red LED on the remote control keeps blinking, it could be that the pairing
between the remote control and the USB adapter is not correct.
In that case you need to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually:

1. Remove the USB adapter from the USB slot on the receiver.

2. Make sure the receiver is switched ON.

3. Remove the batteries from the remote control and insert them again. The LED on the remote
control starts flashing.

4. Press and hold the OK and
remote control flashes more quickly.

5. Insert the USB adapter into a free USB port of the receiver and wait until the LED on the remote
control stops flashing (fig. 6).

6. Now the remote control is paired with the USB adapter.

NOTE: The function of Standby on the remote control is limited or not possible

recommend using Alkaline batteries to ensure longer operation time
of your remote control. When the batteries are almost empty the LED

if there are obstacles in front of the remote control sensor on the front
panel of the receiver. If only the Standby button is working and there is no
reaction when pressing any other button it could be that the batteries are
empty or the USB adapter was removed or, as mentioned above, you need
to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually.

3.0 CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Please make sure that any connection devices or equipment are

3.1 Connecting the antenna

To receive digital signals, your receiver has to be connected to a terrestrial indoor or outdoor
antenna. Use the antenna cable to connect the antenna with the ANT IN connector on the back of
your receiver. Please ensure that a properly shielded antenna cable and suitable connectors are used.
If you are using an active indoor or outdoor antenna you can support it with power via the receiver.

disconnected from their main power before you make connections
between them and your receiver.

Fig. 7

PART 1

3.2 Connecting to TV

Connect one end of the included HDMI cable to the HDMI connector of your receiver and the other
end to the HDMI input of your TV set.

NOTE: After switching on the TV and receiver it is necessary to select the

corresponding HDMI input on the TV. See section 4. First Installation for
more details.

3.3 Connecting to the Internet

a. For the best performance we advise using a wired connection to your router.
b. Alternatively, you can use the in-built wireless adapter to connect to the Internet via your

wireless router.

Note: Be aware that the Internet speed will be reduced by walls or long distance

between the receiver and the router when using wireless connection. This
will lead to lower quality of video streams from the Internet.

3.4 Connecting to an Audio Amplier

Use the included 3.5 mm AV to RCA cable to connect your receiver to the analogue or digital input
of your Hi-Fi system or audio amplifier. Use the white and red RCA for analogue amplifier. For digital
audio use one of these RCA connectors. Only one of them will provide digital audio signal. In the
Android Audio menu you can select the SPDIF audio option to activate digital audio and disable
analogue audio.
Optionally you can use the yellow RCA as analogue low resolution video output. To enable this you
need to remove the HDMI cable and restart the receiver.

Note: Android is made for high resolution screens and will only be good to watch

and to use on the HDMI output. The yellow RCA video output connector
only supports low quality video.

3.5 Connection of a wireless mouse or key board*

For optimal usage of the Android part we recommend using also a mouse or wireless mouse for
maximum freedom, besides the remote control. This enables tracking and dropping of functions, just
as you can do on mobile phones.
Switch the main power Off and insert a mouse or wireless mouse dongle into one of the free USB
slots. Switch the main power back On. The device will be automatically recognised and you can start
using it.

In the same way you can use a keyboard.* It will make typing of information (web addresses,
searching) much more convenient.

3.6 Connection of a USB web camera*

If you like to take pictures or talk to other people and watch with video conference apps as SkypeTM,
you can connect a USB web camera with an in-built microphone to your Android receiver.
Download and install the latest new video app from the Store first. Then switch the main power Off
and insert the USB webcam connector into one of the free USB slots. Switch the main power back On.
The webcam will be automatically recognised and you can start using it.

*Not included in the packaging.

Note: Please check on our web site www.strong.tv for the supported webcam

If you like to change the login name, camera model or if you don’t get the webcam running, enter
“Settings – Apps – Skype -- Clear data” first and then login to Skype
