2.1 Safety Precautions
To avoid hazards and to keep the performance of the digital TV receiver at its
best, obey the following instructions:
• Do not block ventilation openings on the receiver.
• When installing the receiver in a cabinet, make sure to leave a space of at
least 10 centimetres around the receiver for cooling.
• Do not place the receiver in direct sunlight and close to heat-emitting devices
that can interfere with cooling.
• Do not expose the receiver to water and moisture to prevent fire and electric
shock.
• Use only accessories provided or specified by the manufacturer.
• Use dry cloth to clean the receiver.
Never open the receiver casing under any cir-
cumstances, or the warranty will be void.
Repair tasks must be done only by qualified per-
sons with expertise.
2.2 Satellite Dish Connection
Connect the cable from the satellite dish to LNB IN.
I 15
2.3 TV Connections
This digital TV receiver has two video connectors for use by a TV.
• HDMI
• Composite video
Use the HDMI connector to connect the receiver to a TV for the best picture qual-
ity. If the TV has no available HDMI connector, use the composite video con-
nector.
HDMI connection
Connect the receiver’s HDMI output connectors to the TV’s HDMI input con-
nector using an HDMI cable.
Note
Some HDMI cables and TVs may not be compatible with the receiver due to
differing HDMI specifications.
Composite Video Connection
16 I
Insert a jack-to-RCA cable’s jack into the A/V OUT socket on the receiver, then
insert the RCA plugs on the other end into the TV’s composite video and audio
input sockets. Make sure to match the connectors’ colours properly.
Note
Composite video connectors cannot carry HD video.
2.4 AV Receiver Connection
Use an AV receiver for better audio quality. Connect the receiver’s SPDIF con-
nector to the AV receiver’s digital audio input connector using an optical audio
cable.
2.5 Network Connection
Connect the receiver to the wired or wireless network. If a network cable is avail-
able, connect the receiver’s LAN port to the router using a network cable.
If no network cable is available, use the Wi-Fi dongle for wireless network con-
nections. When the receiver is off, plug the Wi-Fi dongle into one of the USB
ports on the rear of the receiver.
I 17
For details on how to configure the network settings, see Network Settings on
page 54.
2.6 Mounting the Receiver on a TV
If necessary, mount the receiver on the TV to save space. Install the TV mount
bracket on the back of the TV, and then attach the receiver to the bracket, as
illustrated by the drawings above.
Connect the remote control extender to the IR Rec. socket on the receiver. Make
sure that the extender does not face directly into light sources, such as lamps or
18 I
displays. Directing light at the extender may interfere with remote control signal
transmission.
