Installation of Beyonwiz T3
This chapter will guide you through the whole installation process of Beyonwiz T3. Please read
each section carefully to make sure that the system runs properly.
2.1Connecting Antenna Cables
Beyonwiz T3 is integrated with triple digital tuners, and one of the first steps is to connect
antenna cable(s) to Beyonwiz T3 in order to gain optimal signal quality. You can either choose
one of the following connection methods depending on the equipment you have.
A. External Loop-through
Where you have only one Antenna cable, connect the cable to TUNER 1 Input and
then use the provided loop cables to loop the signal through to the other tuners as
pictured.

12 Installation
B. Indoor Antenna Amplifier / Splitter
If you find that you are losing too much signal by the time you get to Tuner 3 or 4(sold
separately) the use of an indoor Amplifier splitter is a good option, you can usually
pick up a 4way splitter for $35 - $50.
2.2 Connecting the TV (and VCR)
Beyonwiz T3 provides a variety of audio/video connection methods.
A. Connecting TV via HDMI Cable
For the sake of the best picture quality, especially for digital TV, HDMI connection is
recommended. Most HDTVs have HDMI connectors to ensure the highest picture
quality. In the rear panel of Beyonwiz T3 one HDMI connector is available for this
purpose. Connect your TV to Beyonwiz T3 using a HDMI cable as follows.

Chapter2. Installation 13
B. Connecting TV via Component Cable
The secondly recommend TV connection for digital TV is via component cable (YPbPr).
However, unlike the HDMI connection which delivers audio and video signal at the same
time, YPbPr connection requires additional audio connection either via RCA cable
(Stereo L/R) or S/PDIF as follows.
C. Connecting TV via RCA (Video) Cable
Beyonwiz T3 provides Composite video connection as well. Composite cable has
normally three connectors at the both end; one Video (Yellow) and two Audio
(White/Red). Connect your TV to Beyonwiz T3 as follows:
NOTE: When you have an A/V receiver with S/PDIF digital audio input, this connection is
recommended to enjoy the best audio quality, especially for the Dolby Digital sound.

14 Installation
D. Connecting
TV (and VCR) SCART Cable
In case your TV is analogue TV, SCART cable is the most common method. Connect
your TV to Beyonwiz T3 using SCART cable as follows

Chapter2. Installation 15
2.3 Connecting Power
A power cable is provided as one of the basic accessories of the Beyonwiz T3.
●Connect the power cord to the connector at the rear panel of Beyonwiz T3.
●Connect the power cord to a power outlet.
●Turn on the power switch at the rear panel.
NOTE: AC input condition
●Nominal Voltage Range: 100~240 VAC
●Maximum Voltage Range: 90~264 VAC
●Nominal Frequency: 50/60 Hz
●Maximum Frequency Range: 47~63 Hz
