Pixel Magic Magic TV User manual

HDMI is the highest quality output from Magic TV™and can also carry multi-channel audio,
reducing cabling.
In order to get High Definition video from Magic TV™ without HDMI, Component
(YPbPr) must be used.
Not many TVs accept a digital audio signal in which case, the Stereo audio outputs of Magic TV™
can be used.

This guide will provide you with simple
instructions for connecting and operating
Magic TV™
Please check that you have all of the
following:
Before starting, please take some time to read the Safety Instructions included in

AAA AAA AAA AAA
POWER + ANTENNA
Connect the power adapter and an arial/antenna to Magic TV™. Leave the power outlet switched
off or unplugged until all the wiring work has been completed. A roof-mounted antenna is
recommended for best reception.
OPTIONAL - Antenna loopthru
If you want to retain analogue TV reception on other devices with a TV tuner (TV, VCR or DVD
recorder for example), connect the included extension cable as shown. Many devices can form part
of the antenna loop, by forming a chain. We recommend using Magic TV™ as the first component
on the chain and your television as the last.
