Getting Started
A Unplug the aerial cable from your VCR (or TV) and plug it into the
Aerial In socket of your DTR.
B Using the scart lead, connect the TV SCART socket on your DTR to
the AV1/EXT1/AUX1 scart socket at the back of your TV.
C And lastly, connect the mains lead to the Mains Input socket on your DTR
and switch on at the mains. Reconnect the power to all your existing
equipment and turn your TV on.
When you plug your DTR into the power supply, a red light will flash quickly then
more slowly for about 45 seconds
. You must wait for it to change to solid red or
green before pressing any buttons.
Step 3 – Your DTR is ready to scan for channels
Press the DTR button on your remote. The button will momentarily flash. This will
confirm that the remote control is working correctly. Now wait for the light on the
front of your DTR to turn from red to green.
Your TV should now automatically switch to
the DTR input and display the image shown.
If this does not happen, using your TV
remote, manually select the TV SCART input
to which you have connected your DTR.
Refer to your TV handbook if required, but
it is likely that the TV remote button will be
labelled ‘AV’ or have this symbol
Once you can see the image on screen displayed here, and have ensured all
connections are correct, press on your remote.

Step 6 – TV Favourites set up
With TV Favourites you’ll get up to 600 carefully selected programmes
downloaded to your Top Up TV+ DTR every month. That’s up to 150 extra
programmes available at any one time on top of your normal Freeview channels.
You can also upgrade to PictureBox which gives you an additional 30 movies
a month or take ESPN, a must-have for sports fans.
Press OK
Using your DTR remote control, now switch to channel 16 and check you are
getting a picture. If you are not getting a picture on channel 16, please refer to
the Troubleshooting section for help.
To activate the extra channels available from Top Up TV, please refer to your
welcome pack.
It may take up to 24 hours for your first TV Favourites and PictureBox programmes
to appear in your DTR library, but you will be able to watch your Freeview
channels right away.
