DO
• Do sit it horizontally on a clean, dry, steady surface and give it a bit of space
(5cm should do the trick).
• Do keep it away from direct sunlight, carpet, heating and cooking sources.
• Do set it up close to the TV and/or home theatre it’s being connected to, and of
course the remote needs to be close by too.
• Do connect your antenna cable directly from the set-top box to the antenna socket
on the wall. If you have another device (eg. TV, DVD player, VCR) which needs an
antenna connection, connect it to the Antenna Out port on the set-top box.
• Do use a clean, dry cloth (ONLY) to clean the set-top box and remote control.
• Do change the batteries in the remote control when needed.
DON’T
• Don’t stack it on anything hot like audio/visual appliances – they can mess with it.
• Don’t place it in closed cabinets, on vibrating surfaces or on loudspeakers.
• Don’t use solvents or cleaning agents of any kind.
• Don’t open the set-top box in any way. (It’s kinda like sticking your fork in a toaster
and you may lose out on a replacement unit).
Tune in: After connecting your set-top box, don’t forget to hit the Source/Input/AV
button on your TV remote to get your TV totally tuned in.

(SERIOUS STUFF)
• The Optus TV set-top box is designed for a 100V-240V 50Hz AC power source only.
• Connect all cables prior to switching on the power to the set-top box.
Likewise, switch off the power to the set-top box before unplugging any cables.
• Use only the original power cord (and power adapter) supplied and ensure it is
fully inserted into the back of the set-top box before turning the power on.
Check that the cord isn’t blocked in any way.
• If the cord is damaged, turn the power off and contact Optus TV Customer Care.
• Before cleaning, always disconnect the power at the wall and back of the set-top box.
Never remove the plug by yanking the cord.
• Keep the set-top box away from babies, children and sharp objects.
• Do not place drinks or liquid of any kind near or on top of the set-top box and do not
push anything through the ventilation holes in the cover.

Have a quick squiz through the following options to find the best set up for your set-top box and TV.
DIGITAL HIGH DEFINITION (HDMI)
This is as good as it gets for High Definition picture and audio quality – all you’ll need is the HDMI cable.
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port (it says HDMI) on the back of your set-top box.
2. Plug the other end into an HDMI port on your TV.

S-VIDEO AND ANALOGUE STEREO AUDIO (GEN 1 ONLY)
You’ll get good old Standard Definition in this mode. You’ll need to pick up an S-Video cable
(your local Electrical Retailer might have one) because it doesn’t come with your set-top box.
The Red and White analogue audio cables also need to be plugged in.
Heads up! Connecting with S-Video isn’t something Optus TV Customer Care can help with,
but you’ll do just fine.
Plug in all your bits and bobs:
1. Power cord connection.
2. Your own TV antenna cable from wall socket to set-top box (ANT-IN).

To ensure you receive all available channels on your set-top box, the TV antenna cable
should run from the antenna wall socket to the ANT-IN socket on your set-top box.
HOOK UP TO OTHER DEVICES (LIKE YOUR DVD/VCR PLAYER)
WITH THE ANTENNA SIGNAL
1. Connect the Optus TV antenna cable to the ANT-OUT socket on the set-top box, other end into the ANT-IN
(or RF-IN) socket on your DVD player (or other device).
2. Connect the TV to the other device by plugging another antenna cable into the ANT-OUT (or RF-OUT)
socket on the DVD player and the other end into the ANT-IN (or RF-IN) socket on the TV.

Great news. You can hook up your Home Theatre to your set-top box as it has both coaxial and
optical digital audio outputs (you’ll need to grab the cables from an electrical store). So stock up
on popcorn because you’ll be enjoying an in-house cinema experience with all kinds of surround
sound modes. Get in touch with your home theatre supplier for more details.
FYI: Your digital sound won’t be affected by the volume control setting on the set-top box,
but you can mute it using your remote.
Please Note: Optus TV Customer Care provides support for the set-top box connected directly
to a TV, and DOES NOT support additional audio-visual devices.
