Unlock the Full T4 Experience

While your T4 works great as a standalone TV box with an aerial, connecting it to the internet unlocks its full potential. Enjoy popular apps such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX and more, along with integrated catch up and a vast collection of on demand programmes and movies. To get started, simply connect your T4 to your Wi-Fi or use an Ethernet cable to connect to your router.

Before You Plug In
Please read the Safety section of the Important Information booklet.

Unpack Your Gift Box

You Need

• A TV with an HDMI input.
• A TV aerial and cable. While some indoor (portable) aerials may pick up Freeview channels, for best results use a rooftop aerial.
• An internet connection using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable (not included) for apps and Freeview Play features.

Connect Up

Required

1. Connect a TV aerial cable (not included) from your aerial wall socket to the T4's AERIAL IN socket.
2. Connect the included HDMI cable from an HDMI socket on your TV to the T4's HDMI socket.
3. Connect the included power adapter to the T4's POWER socket, then plug the other end into a wall socket that is turned off.

Optional

• If you'd rather use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi, connect an Ethernet cable (not included) from the T4's ETHERNET socket to your broadband router.
• To use your TV's tuner, connect an aerial cable (not included) from your T4's LOOP OUT socket to your TV's aerial socket. Please note that to conserve energy the LOOP OUT socket is disabled in standby. However, after set-up you can change this by pressing SETTINGS and going to: System > Standby Options.
• If you have an AV receiver that doesn't support HDMI, you can connect an optical audio cable (not included) from your T4's OPTICAL socket to your AV receiver.

Switch On & Set Up

• Insert the batteries into the T4 remote. To do this, slide the cover on the back of the remote, and match the + and - symbols to what is marked on the inside of the compartment. Then, replace the cover.
• Turn on your TV.
• Turn on the wall socket you connected the T4 to and it will switch on. The front panel LED displays blue when the T4 is on and red in standby.
• Your TV should automatically switch to the HDMI input you connected the T4 to. If it doesn't, use your TV remote to select the correct input. Most TV remotes use a button labelled AV, SOURCE, INPUT, or , which will cycle through the TV's inputs with each press.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your T4.

Controlling Your TV

Using HDMI Control

HDMI Control allows your T4 to communicate with your TV. The Activation Sync feature is turned on when you first set up, providing the following benefits:

• Turning on your T4 will also power on your TV and switch to the correct input.
• Turning off your TV will automatically switch off your T4.

To turn off Activation Sync, press and go to: System > HDMI Control.

Additionally, you can enable the Turn Off Devices feature under HDMI Control to have your TV and any connected devices enter standby when your T4 goes into standby.

Note: HDMI Control (also called HDMI-CEC) must be supported by your TV and enabled for these features to operate. Manufacturers may label it differently, such as Anynet+ (Samsung), Viera Link (Panasonic), Simplink (LG), BRAVIA Link and BRAVIA Sync (Sony), or Aquos Link (Sharp).

Using the T4's Learning Remote

You can teach the five highlighted buttons on the T4 remote to control your TV:

• TV (TV power)
• TV/AV (input selection)
• Volume +
• Volume –
• Mute

Initially, the Volume and Mute buttons control your T4's sound. However, for the best sound quality and consistent volume across your TV's sources, you can teach these buttons to control your TV's volume directly instead.

The TV and TV/AV buttons will remain inactive until you teach them to control the corresponding functions on your TV.

Learning Steps

Before Starting

• Set your T4's volume to maximum to ensure the correct volume level from your TV after learning is complete.
• Put your T4 in standby to avoid it responding to the T4 remote during the learning steps.
• Place your T4 and TV remotes facing each other on a flat surface, slightly apart.
  

1. Press the S/AD and ZOOM buttons on the T4 remote for 3 seconds.
   • The button on the T4 remote will glow blue.
2. Press the button on the T4 remote you want to teach: Volume +, Volume –, Mute, TV/AV or TV .
   • The button on the T4 remote will start blinking.
3. Press and hold the corresponding button on the TV remote.
   • If successfully learnt, the light from the button on the T4 remote will turn off for a second, then turn solid blue.
   • If it fails to be learnt, the light from the T4 remote's button will flash 4 times, and you will need to repeat Step 2.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all the buttons to teach.
5. Press OK on your T4 remote to exit learning mode.
   • The light from the T4 remote's button will turn off.

Test each button with your TV. If a button does not work, repeat the steps to teach it again. Please note that some TVs use non-standard remote signals and may not be compatible with the T4 remote.

Resetting Your T4 Remote

To reset all programmed buttons and return them to their original state, press and hold the S/AD and RED buttons for 3 seconds until the button blinks blue.

Troubleshooting

Your T4 Remote
