Connecting your system
connecting your TELUS TV digital box system
To receive the digital television signal on your TELUS TV
digital box, a TELUS installer will:
1. Perform all inside wiring required to connect the TELUS
TV
service. A technician will run new cable wiring in the
home, or if you have a home prewired with Cat 5 cable
the technician will utilize the existing wiring. Once the
inside wiring is complete we will connect the system.
2. Connect the Ethernet connector on the back of your
TELUS TV digital box to the wall outlet using the
Ethernet cable provided.
3. Connect a Video Output on the TELUS TV digital box
to a Video Input on your TV. This can be done in several
ways, depending on the inputs available on your TV:
■
S-Video – If your TV has an S-Video input,
connect the corresponding S-Video connectors
together using the S-Video cable provided. This
connection provides the highest quality video signal.
■
Composite Video (VIDEO IN) – If your TV has a
composite video input (may be labelled VIDEO IN),
connect the corresponding composite video
connectors using the RCA cables provided.
■
Antenna/Cable In – If your TV does not have
any video inputs, you need an RF modulator to
connect your TELUS TV digital box to your TV. The
TELUS technician will supply the required adapter.
NOTE: When you have a choice, always use the highest quality video
signal, S-Video.
4. Connect the AUDIO OUTPUTS (AUDIO R and AUDIO
L) on the TELUS TV digital box to the Audio Inputs on
your TV. This can be done in 2 ways, depending on the
inputs available on your TV:
■
Audio In R and Audio In L – If your TV has Right and
Left Audio In Connectors (R and L), connect the corresponding audio jacks using the RCA cables provided
■
Antenna/Cable In – If your TV does not have any
audio inputs, you need an RF modulator to connect
your TELUS TV digital box to your TV. The TELUS
technician will supply the required adapter
5. Connect your TELUS TV digital box to your VCR or
stereo system. This is done by connecting the Video
and Audio Out Connectors on your TELUS TV digital
box to the corresponding Video and Audio Connectors
on your VCR, amplifier or stereo component.
6. Connect your TELUS TV digital box to an A/V Receiver.
This is done by connecting the audio jacks on your
TELUS TV digital box to the corresponding audio jacks
on your A/V Receiver using either an RCA audio cable
or an optical cable (optional).

VOD gives you access to a huge library of films, both new
movies and popular favourites, which you can purchase
and watch at a time convenient to you. You can also
pause, rewind, and fast-forward a VOD program just like
