If you have a VCR or other equipment connected to your television, please
connect the receiver as described here and refer to Appendix C later when
satisfied that the receiver is functioning normally.
Finally, plug the supplied DC power adaptor into the mains outlet and connect
the other end to the GDB8 DC IN socket. When the GDB8 is first turned on, the
STD LED on the front panel will turn red to show that it is in standby. Remove
the battery compartment cover from the rear of the remote control handset by
lifting the catch at one side. Insert two AAA sized batteries, taking care to
observe the correct orientation as marked on the inside of the compartment.
Replace the compartment cover back on the remote.
Tuning in
Because this is the first time that the receiver has been used, there are no
channels stored in the receiver's memory and the First Time Installation menu is
displayed on the screen.
Turn on your TV set and select to use its SCART input (with the AV button, or
similar, on the television remote control). Press the STANDBY key on the
GDB8 remote control handset. The STD LED indicator will turn green and the
receiver menu will be seen on the TV screen. The green SIGNAL LED on the
front panel will flash every time it receives a signal from the remote control
handset (this indicator will also flash when remote controls for other equipment
are used, this is normal and not a fault with the unit). If you do not see the
receiver's menu on the television screen, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in
Appendix D.
First select the type of TV set that is connected to the GDB8 receiver. Press the
LEFT or RIGHT keys on the remote control handset to switch the selection on
the screen to show either 16:9, if you have a 16:9 or widescreen TV, or 4:3 if you
have a standard TV set. Then press SELECT to start the installation process.
The next menu will ask if you want to tune in the digital terrestrial television
channels.
