CONNECTING UP
CONNECTING YOUR SETTOP BOX
Before starting, choose a suitable position for your
set-top box, observing the ventilation requirements
set out on page 3.
WARNING: Before you connect or disconnect
your set-top box to/from any other equipment,
make sure you disconnect all the equipment
from the mains supply.
CONNECTING TO A TV
If your HD TV has HDMI inputs, you can connect
your set-top box to your TV using the standard
HDMI cable (see the rst picture on page 9). This will
give you the best picture and audio quality on your
TV. Note that the HD TV used for HDMI connection
must be HDCP compliant.
If you have a TV with only a composite (CVBS)
video input, use AV phono leads (not supplied) to
connect your set-top box. Match the colours of
the connectors on your set-top box and leads (see
the second picture on page 9). You also need to
connect the audio leads (not supplied).
For the HDMI connection, you do not need to
connect any additional audio leads.
ALTERNATIVE AUDIO CONNECTIONS
You can connect your set-top box’s audio outputs
to your TV, but you can, instead, connect them to a
hi- amplier or home theatre system. This will give
better sound quality.
The best sound quality is from your set-top box’s
OPTICAL connector, but for this you will need a
75-ohm optical S/PDIF cable (not supplied). This
digital audio is compatible with Dolby Digital audio
equipment.
WARNING: The satellite dish should be
installed by an authorised installer.
Connect the coaxial cable from your satellite dish
to the SAT IN connector on the rear panel of your
set-top box. Connect the cable from your terrestrial
antenna to the RF IN connector on the rear panel of
your set-top box.
The signal cable coming from the dish cannot
be used with a signal splitter. Using a splitter will
reduce the signal strength to your set-top box and
will damage any other set-top box connected to the
same dish.
Please ensure that the signal cable is properly
installed while setting up your set-top box.
CONNECTING TO THE
POWER SUPPLY
Your box is designed for use only with the supplied
12V power-supply adapter. The 12V power-supply
adapter operates with a 220-240V AC, 50 Hz mains
supply. Do not connect it to any other electricity
supply than this.
1. Connect the 12V power-supply adapter to the
Power In connector on your set-top box.
2. Connect the other end of the 12V power-supply
adapter to the mains wall-socket. If there is a
switch by the mains wall-socket, switch it on.
3. Connect other equipment, such as your TV, to
the mains supply.
