Using the av button
You may wish to connect more items of equipment to your television
than your television has connectors to support (for example, your
FOXTEL PDR, plus a VCR, DVD player and/or games console). In this
circumstance your FOXTEL PDR can act as a switcher allowing the
television connector used by your FOXTEL PDR to be shared with
another item of equipment. This item is referred to as the ‘loop-
through unit’ as it is connected to the back of your FOXTEL PDR
rather than directly to the television. Usually this is the VCR.
If you have a ‘loop-through unit’, you use the
av
button on your
FOXTEL remote control to switch between your FOXTEL PDR and
the loop-through unit.
1.
To switch to a looped-through item of equipment, press
av
on
your FOXTEL remote control.
Once you have pressed
av
, all the buttons on the FOXTEL Digital
remote control will be out of use, 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).

unnecessarily.
✘
Do not bend your FOXTEL Smartcard.
✘
Do not put your FOXTEL Smartcard in liquids or use cleaning
fluids on it.
✔
Keep your FOXTEL Smartcard away from children and pets.

Notes
If you want to use the ‘loop-through’ facility, your TV must be
connected to the
TV SCART
connector on your FOXTEL PDR, while
the loop-through unit (VCR for example) must be connected to the
VCR SCART
connector on your FOXTEL PDR.
If you are using your FOXTEL PDR to record a digital programme,
using ‘loop-through’ does
not
affect this. The recording will continue
even if you use your video recorder to watch a video on your TV.
If your setup does not include a looped-through item, then when you
press
av
on your FOXTEL remote control, your television will display
a blank screen. To return to FOXTEL, press
FOXTEL
.
If your FOXTEL PDR is not responding to the FOXTEL remote
control, it may be because the
av
button on your remote has been
pressed. To return to FOXTEL, press
FOXTEL
.
