Safety information
Important
This box generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
an d us e d in a c co rd an c e wi th th es e
instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communication.
Ho we v er , th is i s n o gu a ra n t ee th at
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If the set top box does cause
harmful interference to electrical devices,
which can be determined by turning the
box off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
1. Re-orient or relocate the receiving aerial
2. Increase the separation between the
external device and the box
3. Connect the external device into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the box is connected
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help
Electrical information
Mains supply
The mains operating voltage is detailed on
the rear of the box
The mains lead on this box may be supplied
with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, an
ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must
be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover
is detachable never use the plug with the
cover removed. If a replacement fuse cover
is required, ensure it is of the same colour as
that visible on the pin face of the plug.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the
mains plug, dispose of it immediately, having
first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible
shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply

WARN I N G! EN S URE TH E
TV AND AL L ANCI L L A RY
EQUIPMEN ARE UNPLUGGED
FROM THE MAINS BEFORE
MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS!
Connecting to the TV and other
devices
The Quick Start Guide shows the simplest
and most effective way to connect the box to
ancillary equipment. Alternate methods are
listed below.
Connecting the TV aerial
Connect the TV aerial to the ‘RF IN’ socket
on the rear of the box with a 75 ohm co-axial
plug. For best results use a high gain TV
aerial, preferably roof or loft mounted.
Use a professionally installed external, roof
mounted aerial wherever possible.
To improve the picture quality in a poor
signal area, purchase and install a signal
amplier.
Coaxial cable
If your TV does not have a SCART socket,
you can connect the box to the TV using
a coaxial cable. Connect the coaxial cable
between the ‘RF OUT’ socket on the rear of
the box and the aerial socket on your TV.
Using this connection method will also allow
your TV to receive a signal when the box is
switched off.
SCART cable
You can connect the box to your TV and VCR
using a SCART cable. This connection uses
component video signals, i.e. the red, green
and blue (RGB) content of the video are sent
on separate signals.
To connect the box to your TV, connect the
SCART cable between the ‘TV’ SCART socket
on the rear of the box and the SCART socket
on your TV.

RF IN RF OUT
Connecting the box
Note: Please consult your VCR
instruction guide for details on
how to connect your box to your

You can connect the box to your TV HDMI
socket with a HDMI cable. This connection
will output the uncompressed digital video
and audio signals.
To connect the box to your TV, connect the
HDMI cable between the HDMI socket on the
rear of the box and the HDMI socket on your
TV.
