Introduction

The FOXTEL iQ Remote will enable you to:

1. Operate your FOXTEL iQ Service

2. Control the main functions of your television

3. Control other pieces of audio/visual equipment connected to your

FOXTEL Service

This Advanced User Guide will provide you with easy-to-understand

instructions on how to use the FOXTEL iQ Remote to control your

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

iQ Remote. These codes are provided in the back of this Guide. This will

enable the FOXTEL iQ Remote to control almost any device!

If your device brand is not included or you are having difficulty entering

the codes, you can "learn" the code into the FOXTEL iQ Remote.

Note: For information on using the FOXTEL iQ Remote to operate the

FOXTEL Service, refer to the "FOXTEL iQ Guide” which was provided

to you at your installation.

Batteries

The FOXTEL iQ Remote requires 2 new AA (LR6, UM3) alkaline batteries,

when the batteries need replacing a message will appear on the FOXTEL

Service and a battery low symbol will be in the i-Search banner.

To change the batteries:

1. Remove the battery cover by pushing back the catch at the bottom of

the iQ Remote and then lift off the cover.

2. Remove the old batteries

3. Install two fresh AA (LR6, UM3) alkaline batteries as indicated by the

illustration in the battery compartment. Be sure to match the +and –

marks on the batteries to their respective marks inside the battery

compartment.

4. Replace the battery cover by inserting the tabs at the top of the battery

cover first, then pushing the cover into place.

• Do not leave flat batteries in your FOXTEL iQ Remote.

•Do not mix different battery types, e.g. Alkaline and Manganese.

•Do not mix old and new batteries –replace both batteries at the same

time

•Dispose of flat batteries in an environmentally-friendly way

AV Mode of the

FOXTEL iQ

Remote

Pressing the av button on the FOXTEL iQ remote allows:

➮The FOXTEL iQ to route the input from the VCR SCART connector on the

back of the FOXTEL iQ 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 FOXTEL iQ. Pressing the av button

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

VCR SCART on the FOXTEL iQ then pressing the av button on the

FOXTEL iQ Remote blanks the television screen

➮In AV mode the FOXTEL iQ 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 FOXTEL iQ, the VCR SCART will be the upper SCART

connector and marked VCR SCART.

FOXTEL_PVR_opmaak 15-02-2006 09:50 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 FOXTEL iQ, plus

a VCR, DVD player and/or games console). In this circumstance the FOX-

TEL iQ can act as an AV switcher allowing the television connector used by

the FOXTEL iQ 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 FOXTEL iQ rather than directly to the

television (see diagram on previous page). Usually this device is the VCR.

If you have a ‘loop-through device’you use the av button on the FOXTEL iQ

Remote to switch between the FOXTEL service and the loop-through

device.

1. To switch to the looped-through device, press the av button on the

FOXTEL iQ Remote.

Once you have pressed the av button, all the buttons on the FOXTEL iQ

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 FOXTEL and the FOXTEL Digital Guide buttons (tv

guide, box office, active and planner)

2. To return to FOXTEL, press FOXTEL (or any of the FOXTEL Digital

Guide buttons)

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

connected to the TV SCART connector on the FOXTEL iQ while the

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

connector on the FOXTEL iQ and the Video Output for the iQ must be

set to PAL

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

press the av button on the FOXTEL iQ Remote, your television will

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

FOXTEL press the FOXTEL button

- The AV switching function of the FOXTEL iQ switches audio and

composite video only.
