Labgear MRX700 User manual
Introduction
The MRX700 converts the SCART output from
a set top box to an RF2 output which will power
DigiLink eyes allowing viewing and control
from TV sets around the home.
With an additional RF output for your main TV
and optional SCART loop-through.
Compatible with old and new Sky™, Sky+™
and Sky+HD™ boxes* also compatible with
Freesat™/Freeview™ receivers & PVRs.
• Comes with two IR transmitters for control of
up to two devices (connected via the SCART IN)
• RF2 DC output 9VDC, 100mA to power DigiLinks
• RF2 output suitable for distribution via
DigiLink compatible ampliers.
• RF IN allows aerial and CATV signal distribution
• Fully compatible with new and existing TV
distribution systems
• Allows the use of existing RF Link devices used to
distribute Sky™ signals and control remotely Sky™receivers
Please Note: Older Sky boxes with RF2 outputs
can be connected via the MRX700 RF input
and additional STB(s) via the SCART.
Newer Sky boxes with no RF output will need
to be connected via the LabLink SCART input.

Channel Selection
Use the dip switch on the base of the MRX700
to select a channel between 21 and 59 (see table
to the right). You need to select a channel that is
not used by your local transmitter or adjacent to
it. Also avoid Ch 60-69 which is used for some 4G
mobile phone transmissions.
To check your local transmitter channels go to:
www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/
enter your postcode and check “Detailed view”
the channels are listed here. Pick a channel that is
3 to 4 (but not 5*) away from any of the channels
listed for your transmitter.
*Avoid multiples of 5 as these can be eected by harmonics
Please Note:
A DigiLink compatible distribution amplier
is required for multiple room systems.
A DigiLink device is required at each TV
location (not supplied).
Additional remote controls may be required.
This example shows a new Sky+HD™ box
connected via the SCART input. Older Sky™
boxes with RF2 outputs can be connected
via the MRX700 RF input and an
additional STB(s) via the SCART.
