All the menus and screens on your T-Box
®
have been optimised for display on
widescreen 16:9 TV screens. So, to enjoy the best possible picture, make sure your
T-Box is connected to a TV labelled either ‘Full HD’ or ‘HD Ready’, using the HDMI cable.
If you connect to a standard 4:3 aspect ratio screen, or you just use the Mini-
DIN-to-Component/Composite cable with component or composite connectors,
your picture will be of lower quality, and you’ll need to select the 4:3 TV Option
during the on-screen set-up process.

Great sound can make an incredible difference to your entertainment experience.
So you might want to enhance your T-Box by connecting it to a home theatre or
Hi-Fi sound-system.
Your T-Box has digital audio (S/PDIF) and RCA audio (left and right) connectors
that you can use. However you’ll need either digital audio optical cable or RCA
audio cables, which aren’t included with your T-Box. You can purchase these,
and any additional accessories, from any good electronics retailer.
remote Control at tHe reaDY
To make life easy, we’ve designed a dedicated remote control that only has the
buttons you’ll need to drive your T-Box.
This controller uses radio signals rather than infrared light, so it doesn’t even
have to be pointed directly at your T-Box to work. Its effective range will depend
on the layout of your home and where you place your T-Box.

Before you can actually use your T-Box remote control, it will need to be ‘paired’
with your T-Box. We’ll show you how to do that on page 13. But first, the remote
control is supplied with new batteries installed – along with a special yellow
plastic insulator that stops the batteries from being drained in transit.
You’ll need to remove this yellow strip from the remote control battery
compartment when you’re setting up your T-Box. Here’s how to do that:
• Open the battery cover by sliding it downwards
• Pull away the protective strip
• Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly
• Close the battery cover
