OPERATING THE TV WITH A UNIVERSAL
OR SKY (BSKYB) REMOTE CONTROL
Option 1) Connecting your TV to your Sky box (when both the TV and Sky Box are located in the
same room)
Depending on your Sky Box & TV model, connect either by SCART or HDMI cables (available
separately)
If connecting by SCART, select the ‘Input source’ on the TV as SCART.
If connecting by HDMI, select the ‘Input source’ on the TV as HDMI (if the TV has more than 1 HDMI
port, ensure you select the input source to match the HDMI numbered port on the rear of the TV)
If you wish to use your Sky remote to operate the TV’s functions, you will need a Sky remote control
(Revision 9 or later) and you will need to programme a 4 digit code into it. See bottom of this page.
Option 2) Connecting your TV to your Sky box (when your Sky box is located in a
diff erent room to the TV)
Please note, if you are adding a ‘Magic Eye/TV
Link’ to your system so that you can use your Sky
remote control to change the Sky channel in the
room where the 2nd TV is located, please refer to
the instructions included with the TV link/magic
eye in order to ensure the RF or RF2 output on
your Sky box is powered on. (The red LED light on
the TV link/magic eye will light up if the RF / RF2
output is correctly set up) If you do not have the
instructions that came with the TV link/magic eye,
instructions on how to do it can be found on our
web site.
1) To tune the TV to the Sky box, on the 2nd TV,
select the ‘Analogue’ input source.
2) Select the channel that you wish to store the Sky
box/channel on. (If you do not use channels 1-5 because you no longer have analogue terrestrial channels after digital switchover,
you may choose to select channel 1 to store the Sky box/channel, if you still have and use analogue channels 1-5, you may for
example decide that channel 6 is the best option for you)
3) Press the corresponding number on the remote control to select the desired analogue channel chosen as per point 2 above.
4) On the TV remote control, press Menu. Now navigate through the menus to select Manual Tuning or Analogue Manual tuning
(refer to the Tuning/Channel menu section of this user guide if necessary)
5) Manually tune in the channel (usually, the Sky box is at a frequency between 800Mhz and 850Mhz) once the Sky box/channel is
found, press ‘OK’ to store it.
If you wish to use your Sky remote to operate the TV’s functions, you will need a Sky remote control (Revision 9 or later) and you will need to
programme a 4 digit code into it. See below.
