Is Digital TV reception available in your home?

Generally speaking; if this receiver was on display (demonstration) by your retailer and
you live within the same area/town/city, then it should work within your home.

If you experience break-up of picture or poor performance, it is recommended that you
contact your local TV antenna installer first. They may need to check your signal quality
for digital reception. The antenna installer may advise you to upgrade your TV antenna
to a newer digital ready antenna, and install newer cabling such as RG6 quad shield
cable.

For more information on installations, visit the Digital Broadcast Australia website found at
http://www.dba.org.au.

I don’t seem to have Digital TV reception in my home,
what shall I do?

Digital TV is relatively new to Australia and it will take time for it to be available everywhere
around Australia. If Digital TV reception is not available to you, simply place together all
packaging and supplied cables back into the box neatly. Have your receipt (proof of
purchase) ready and contact your place of purchase for further details on what you
should do.

Connect your antenna lead directly into the antenna connection on the rear of the box.
Be sure to select AV or EXT input on your television by using the television remote

control.
Switch on the set-top box. If all connections are right, you will see the AUTO SEARCH

screen appears on the television.

Simply press the RED button (SUB.T) to start tuning process.

Please read the user-manual thoroughly

to enjoy this product.

How do I connect this box to my TV?

Using the RCA lead supplied (Yellow, White, Red); connect from the rear of the box (see Video
and Audio R, Audio L) directly to the AV input on your television. If you television does not
have stereo sound, then there is no need to connect the red lead.
When connecting to a high definition capable display, we recommend using the component
video lead supplied (green, red, blue) connected to Y Pb Pr labeled on the rear of the set-top
box. Your TV/Plasma must also have these same connectors.

How to connect your STB to various systems

There are several ways of connecting the STB to your TV and Hi-Fi System. Consult your
local supplier for assistance in setting-up your system best suited to your requirements.

1. STB to a TV

There are various methods that may be used to connect your set-top box to the display.
For High Definition viewing your display must support either 576p, 720p or 1080i
display modes. Also the connection between the set-top box and display must be
YPbPr component, RGB Dsub15, or DVI. Other connection will provide standard
definition viewing.

(a)

Connect the set-top box via Video and Audio (for general viewing or connection to a VCR)

The 3 RCA connections (yellow, white and red) connect to the video and Audio R and
Audio L connections on the rear of the box. The other end of the cable connects to
your TV input labeled either AV or EXT. Be sure to select on your TV remote controller
to switch to AV or EXT input mode.

(b) Connect the set-top box via Component YPbPr (for high definition viewing)

The 3 RCA connections (green, blue and red) connect to the Y, Pb and Pr connections
on the rear of the box. The other end of the cable connects to your TV input labeled
Component YPbPr input. Be sure to select on your TV remote controller to switch to
component input mode. It may also be called AV or EXT key.

does not include HDCP. Some display devices support HDCP and therefore may not
be supported with your set-top box.
