Safety Information
This digital terrestrial receiver has been manufactured to comply with international safety
standards. Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
Safety Instructions and Precautions
Avoid placing heavy items on the unit. Ensure that ventilation
holes are not blocked, as this constitutes a serious fire hazard.
Do not clean the unit with petroleum-based cleansers as this
can damage the paintwork. Use a dry, dust-free cloth.
Disconnect the power and antenna cables during long
absences or during electrical storms.
Avoid dropping the Remote Control Unit.
If there is smoke or a burning smell, turn off & unplug the
unit immediately. Contact your local repair centre for advice or
call 08712 003 191.
Avoid placing the unit on slippery or sloped surfaces.

10
Keep the unit away from all moisture sources.
Keep the unit free of dust. Dust or metallic particles that
find their way into the unit can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not open the unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
Do not unplug the unit by grabbing the cord. Turn off the
power at the point, and firmly pull the plug. Do not move
the unit while the power cord is plugged in.
Ensure that the unit is kept well away from magnetic
sources such as speakers. These can cause data loss (from
the HDD).
Ensure that the unit is placed in a position that is well-ventilated
and away from direct sunlight or sources of humidity.
Avoid use if the room air temperature exceeds 30 C, or
drops below 5 C. Remember that temperatures inside an
enclosed cabinet can be much higher. The maximum operating
temperature is 45 C.

< Program Remote Control for TV >
To switch the RCU between TV Control mode and PVR Control mode:
1. Press the TV or STB button at the bottom of the remote control.
To check which RCU control mode is active:
1. Simply look at the TV / STB buttons, which light up whenever one of the other remote
control buttons is pressed.
2. In TV Control mode, the TV button will only illuminate when the button pressed actually
sends a remote signal to the TV.
As an example - when the RCU is in TV Control mode:
1. If the VOL+ / - buttons are pressed, the TV button lights up.
2. Pressing the STOP button is not relevant to the TV so the TV button doesn‟t light up.
Programming the RCU to Control Your TV (Entering an RCU code from the code list):
1. Look in the code table (found in the A-3. Remote Control Code List by TV Manufacturer) for
your TV.
2. Manufacturers often use several codes for different TV models, so you may need to try a
number of codes.
3. Press - and hold - both the OK and TV buttons on the RCU for 3 seconds. The TV button will
turn on.
4. Enter the 4-digit code.
5. If the remote code is correctly recognized, the TV button will turn off. If the TV button still
turns on, please re-enter the code.
6. When the TV button turns off, press the OK button.
7. The TV button will flash three times and the programming will be finished.
8. Test your setup by sending a few commands to the TV.
9. If the TV doesn‟t respond, repeat the procedure with another code.
Resetting the Remote Control Unit
1. Input code „0000‟ to reset the remote control to the original factory setting.
2. The RCU does not support all TV models.
TVs are often made by other manufacturers, and therefore use different codes to
those listed for the manufacturer (brand).
If no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds, the setup (learning) mode is cancelled.

18
3. Connections
3.1 Connecting to the Antenna
<Making Antenna connections>
1. Connect the antenna cable (75 ohm co-axial) to the SIGNAL IN connector.
2. To pass the antenna signal through to another device (such as a VCR and your TV), connect
an appropriate 75 ohm co-axial cable from the Loop Out connector of the STB
(The Loop Out connection will pass the antenna signal through to your Device even when
the STB is in Standby mode (or turned off at the switch)

19
3.2 Connecting to TV
<Connecting to a Digital TV that has an HDMI input port>
1. Connect the HDMI output on the STB to the HDMI input on your monitor or TV.
2. Select HD mode and set the video output mode to 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p or 576i by
pressing the V.FORMAT button on RCU.
For access to HD programming at the highest available resolution, use this connection
method.

20
<Connecting to Standard Definition TV and VCR using the SCART output>
1. Connect the Video TV SCART of STB to TV with fully featured SCART cable. Select SD
