SETTING YOUR TV FORMAT
All the menus and screens on your T-Box
®
have been optimised for display on
widescreen 16:9 TV screens. So, to enjoy the best possible picture, make sure your
T-Box is connected to a TV labelled either ‘Full HD’ or ‘HD Ready’, using the HDMI cable.
If you connect to a standard 4:3 aspect ratio screen, or you just use the Mini-
DIN-to-Component/Compositecablewithcomponentorcompositeconnectors,
your picture will be of lower quality, and you’ll need to select the 4:3 TV Option
during the on-screen set-up process.
CONNECTING YOUR TBOX TO A HOME THEATRE SYSTEM
Great sound can make an incredible difference to your entertainment experience.
So you might want to enhance your T-Box by connecting it to a home theatre or
Hi-Fi sound-system.
YourT-Boxhasdigitalaudio(S/PDIF)andRCAaudio(leftandright)connectors
that you can use. However you’ll need either digital audio optical cable or RCA
audiocables,whicharen’tincludedwithyourT-Box.Youcanpurchasethese,
and any additional accessories, from any good electronics retailer.
REMOTE CONTROL AT THE READY
To make life easy, we’ve designed a dedicated remote control that only has the
buttons you’ll need to drive your T-Box.
This controller uses radio signals rather than infrared light, so it doesn’t even
have to be pointed directly at your T-Box to work. Its effective range will depend
on the layout of your home and where you place your T-Box.
PUTTING THE POWER IN YOUR HANDS
Before you can actually use your T-Box remote control, it will need to be ‘paired’
with your T-Box. We’ll show you how to do that on page 13. But rst, the remote
control is supplied with new batteries installed – along with a special yellow
plastic insulator that stops the batteries from being drained in transit.
You’llneedtoremovethisyellowstripfromtheremotecontrolbattery
compartment when you’re setting up your T-Box. Here’s how to do that:
•Openthebatterycoverbyslidingitdownwards
•Pullawaytheprotectivestrip
•Makesurethebatteriesareinsertedcorrectly
•Closethebatterycover
