Labgear Sky MRX955F Manual

Introduction
The DigiLink allows you to both watch and control
your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver from a second TV
in your home regardless of its location. The DigiLink is
compatible with Sky™, /Sky+™ and Sky+HD™ receivers
with RF2 output using your existing or additional
remote control. Also compatible with newer Sky boxes
with I/O port when used with the Labgear MRX600
I/O Port Converter.
What you may need (not supplied)
• Suitable length of coax cable to route from your Sky™
Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver to your second TV.
• For coax cable runs of over 10 metres, a suitable
ampli er, such as the LDL102, is required.
• Male (plug) coax connector (connects to Digilink).
• Female (socket) coax connector (connects to
satellite receiver RF2 outlet).

Installation instructions
Step One
Installing your coax cable to second TV
1. Fit a female coax connector to the satellite end
of the coax cable and t an F connector to the
other end. It is important that when tting
coax connectors that the cable makes full contact
with the pin of the coax connector. This is best
acheived by soldering the cable into the connector.
Failure to make a full contact between the cable
and the connector pin will disable the remote
control function of the DigiLink.
2. Route your length of coax cable from the Sky™
Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver location (female socket
connector) to your second TV location
(F connector). You can route the cable indoors or
outdoors but it is important to ensure that there are
no kinks or twists in the cable and that tight bends
are avoided as this can damage the cable core.
Note: It is important that the coax cable signal is not
interrupted by isolated wall plates, non-bypass aerial
ampli ers or aerial splitters as these will disable the
remote control function. If necessary, please use non-
isolated wall plates or a digital bypass kit with your
aerial ampli er/splitter to avoid such problems
(contact a local electrical or satellite installer for details).

3. Once your length of coax cable is in place, connect
the female coax connector to the RF2 socket on the
back of your Sky™/Sky+™/Sky+HD™ receiver.
Step Two
Installing the DigiLink (Figure 2)
1. Connect the short lead with a male plug which is
attached to the DigiLink to the aerial input socket
on your second TV. If you are using a separate VCR
(excluding TV/VCR combination systems) then you
must connect the DigiLink to the VCR aerial input,
not the TV aerial input.
2. Connect the F connector on your length of coax
cable to the F connection on the DigiLink.
3. Position the infrared eye in a clear line of sight from
where you will be using the remote control, (eg on
top of your TV).
