4.0 Getting Started:
4.1 Installing Batteries in your Remote Control
•
Remove the Battery Compartment cover by sliding it downwards
•
Install two AAA batteries (not supplied) taking care to observe the correct polarity.
•
Replace the Battery Compartment cover by sliding it upwards.
NOTE: If you will not be using your Remote control for sometime then remove the
batteries to prevent risk of leakage and subsequent damage.
•
If your remote starts to operate erratically then the batteries are probably drained. Replace
both batteries with new, do not mix new and old.
•
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible way. They must not be
disposed of in normal household waste. Many stores now have a recycling point for
batteries.
4.2 Using your Remote Control
•
Always point the Remote Control at the Receiver. It will operate successfully over
a range of around 6m and at an angle of +/- 30
o
.
•
Remember, strong light or objects in the path of the Infra red beam will affect the
performance of the Remote Control adversely.
4.3 Connecting your Receiver
•
Your QUICK START GUIDE shows the simplest and most effective way to connect your
Receiver and get watching! The following information describes in more detail the use
of your new Digital receiver.
•
Connecting the TV Aerial:
Your TV aerial needs to be connected to the “TV Antenna
In” at the rear of your Receiver. Digital TV requires a good quality signal, for optimum
reception use a loft or roof mounted High Gain Aerial. If in doubt contact your local
Aerial Installer.
•
Connecting to your Television:
There are four methods to connect your Receiver to
your Television. These will be described in descending order of Picture Quality with the
best first, please also refer to the CONNECTION DIAGRAM at the end of this section
for further guidance:
•
HDMI:
If your TV is equipped with an HDMI Input then this is both the easiest and
the best method of connection. An HDMI connection delivers both picture and sound
at high quality. Using the supplied HDMI cable connect the HDMI socket on the rear of
your Receiver to an available HDMI Socket on your TV.
•
Component (Y, Pb, Pr):
Whilst this connection can deliver similar picture quality to
HDMI the sound has to be separately connected. Using a 3 Way Cinch (RCA) type
cable (not supplied) connect the Component Outputs on the rear of your receiver to the
corresponding inputs on your TV, carefully observing the colour coding. You will
then need to connect the Audio Left and Audio Right outputs to the corresponding
inputs on your Television. These again use RCA type connectors.
