instructions on how to use the OXTEL iQ2 Remote to control your

television/audio/visual device by inputting Device Codes into the

OXTEL iQ2 Remote. These codes are provided in the back of this Guide. This

will enable the OXTEL iQ2 Remote to control almost any device!

Note: or information on using the OXTEL iQ2 Remote to operate the OXTEL

Service, refer to the " OXTEL iQ2 Guide” which is available from

www.foxtel.com.au.

AV Mode o the

FOXTEL iQ2 Remote

Pressing the av button on the OXTEL iQ2 remote allows:

➮The OXTEL iQ2 to route the input from the VCR SCART connector on the back

of the OXTEL iQ2 to the output of the primary or TV SCART.

In practice this means your VCR (or DVD Recorder) should be connected to

the VCR SCART connector on the OXTEL iQ2. Pressing the av button displays

the VCR’s output on the television. If nothing is connected to the VCR SCART

on the OXTEL iQ2 then pressing the av button on the OXTEL iQ2 Remote

blanks the television screen

➮In AV mode the OXTEL iQ2 Remote buttons are disabled unless it has been

programmed as shown in this guide (in which case it will control

your television’s or other device’s functions)

To identify which of the two SCART connectors is the VCR SCART look at the

back of the OXTEL iQ2, the VCR SCART will be the left SCART

connector and marked VCR SCART.

FOXTEL_F120_New_RDN-2310708:FOXTEL_PVR_opmaa 31-07-2008 16:15 Pagina 7

Using the av button with

a loop-through device

You may wish to connect more items of equipment to your television than your

television has connectors to support (for example, the OXTEL iQ2, plus a VCR,

DVD player and/or games console). In this circumstance the OXTEL iQ2 can act

as an AV switcher allowing the television connector used by the OXTEL iQ2 to

be shared with another item of equipment. This item is referred to as the

‘loop-through device’ as it is connected to the VCR SCART connector at the back

of the OXTEL iQ2 rather than directly to the television (see diagram on previ-

ous page). Usually this device is the VCR.

If you have a ‘loop-through device’ you use the aavvbutton on the OXTEL iQ2

Remote to switch between the OXTEL service and the loop-through device.

11..To switch to the looped-through device, press the aavvbutton on the OXTEL

iQ2 Remote.

Once you have pressed the aavvbutton, all the buttons on the OXTEL iQ2

Remote are disabled (unless it has been programmed as shown in this Guide,

in which case it will control your television's functions or other device’s), except

OXTEL and the OXTEL Guide buttons (ttvv gguuiiddee,, oonn ddeemmaanndd,, aaccttiivveeand

ppllaannnneerr)

22..To return to OXTEL, press OOXXTTEELL(or any of the OXTEL Guide buttons)

- If you want to use the ‘loop-through’ facility, your television must be

connected to the TV SCART connector on the OXTEL iQ2 while the

loop-through unit (e.g. VCR) must be connected to the VCR SCART

connector on the OXTEL iQ2 and the Video Output for the iQ2 must be

set to PAL

- If your setup does not include a looped-through device, then when you

press the a

avvbutton on the OXTEL iQ2 Remote, your television will display

a blank screen when the av button is pressed. To return to OXTEL press

the OOXXTTEELLbutton

- The AV switching function of the OXTEL iQ2 switches audio and

composite video only.

- Loop-through routes the VCR SCART input through to the TV SCART output.

Loop-through does not affect the HDMI or HD Component outputs
