3 Connecting the receiver

3.1 Connecting to power supply
The Digital Receiver should not be connected to the mains until the unit is fully
connected to the aerial and the TV. This will prevent damage to the Digital Receiver
or other components.
• After making all connections according to the following points, connect the
receiver to the power supply.
• Please ensure that the power cord is easily and quickly accessible.
3.2 Connecting to TV set
Connect an HDMI cable to your TV and to the HDMI output of the Digital Receiver (5).
If your TV is properly equipped, it will automatically switch to the HDMI input when
the digital receiver is turned on. If not, then use the source/input button on your TV
remote to switch to the HDMI input you have connected to.
Optionally you can also connect your receiver to your
TV set in analogue mode (connection with SCART cable (6)).
3.3 USB slot
The USB socket (3) is used for software updates, recording and multimedia playback
(music, videos, photos).
The receiver supports all types of hard drives up to 1TB in external enclosures that
are equipped with an independent power supply. The only condition is that the hard
drive has one primary partition that is formatted in NTFS (recommended) or FAT32.
We recommend that you regularly archive your data on a PC. A large number of files
with recordings may slow down access to the drive with the receiver (slow loading of
the file list).

3.4 Connecting the antenna cable

Connect the cable from your DVB-T/T2 antenna to the RF-Input of the receiver (4).
Please also refer to the Antenna Setup item in the User Manual.

3.5 First start-up

• With the arrow buttons select the menu language and the country in which
the receiver will operate. Choose 'England' as the Country.
• Then use the OK button to confirm your selection.
• The receiver starts searching for available programmes.
• This can take several minutes to complete.
