This_x000D_
a brand newGlobalTV link suitable for extended remote control _x000D_
operation of Sky Digi boxes. This is theSky approvedtype of magic eye.This unit allows the remote control of a Sky Digi Box, Sky Plus Box or Sky HD Box from another room in your home.This_x000D_
unit works due to the clever TV Link feature fitted to all Sky digi _x000D_
boxes. At the rear of the receiver you will find an RFOUT2 connection. _x000D_
If you connect a long male to female coaxial cable to this connection _x000D_
and feed it to another room then you can you can connect the TV Link _x000D_
unit at the remote end of the cable. The TV Link connects in between the_x000D_
aerial plug on the cable and the aerial socket of your TV. You can then_x000D_
use the Sky remote you already have or an additional handset to change _x000D_
channels and fully operate theSky box. This avoids you having to _x000D_
continually go through to the room where the Sky box is located to _x000D_
change channels or select playback on a Sky Plus box for example.How_x000D_
does this work?…………… The TV Link unit effectively operates _x000D_
as an extended infra red receiver that is already fitted to the front of_x000D_
your digi box. The TV link sends the infra red commands form your Sky _x000D_
remote control back up the coaxial cable. These commands are received _x000D_
and actioned by the digi box. In order for the TV Link to operate it _x000D_
requires power and this is cleverly fed down the coaxial cablefrom the _x000D_
digi box internal power supply.Please_x000D_
note the TV Link does not transmit any picture information. It works in_x000D_
conjunction with an existing cable that is connected between your digi _x000D_
box RFOUT2 and your television. It is important that a good quality _x000D_
digital coaxial cable is used. The _x000D_
reason being that line power is supplied down the cable and any high _x000D_
resistance connections can cause the TV link to not operate.Once_x000D_
correctly installed the TV link LED will illuminate indicating the _x000D_
presence of line power. If the LED is not lit then you need to check _x000D_
your installation. It may be that the RF line power is switched off, _x000D_
this is the default setting on new boxes. Please read the following _x000D_
information carefully. It is quite a simple operation to enable the RF _x000D_
line power, please note this procedure is not explained in the owners _x000D_
manual. Proceed as follows:Press the SERVICES buttonSelect SYSTEM SETUP (option 4)Press 0 then 1 then SELECT (installer menu now appears)Select RF OUTLETS (option 4)Press the down arrow to select RF OUTPUT POWER SUPPLYPress the right arrow to switch the option onPress the down arrow to select SAVE NEW SETTINGSPress selectAt_x000D_
this point the line power is enabled on RF OUT2 and the LED light on _x000D_
the TV Link will be on. You will then be able to control the digi box _x000D_
from another room when the coaxial cable is connected. It is suggested _x000D_
that you initially connect the TV link directly to RF OUT2 at the back _x000D_
of your digi box. The female connector on the TV link will plug directly_x000D_
into RF OUT2. When the RF line power is enabled the LED light on the TV_x000D_
link will come on. This tests the functionality of both the digibox and_x000D_
the TV link. If the LED light on the TV link does not illuminate when _x000D_
you re-connect at the extension television then you know that the cable _x000D_
connecting RF OUT2 to your television is the cause of the problem. _x000D_
Please note the TV link will only function when connected to RF OUT2 on_x000D_
all Sky digi boxes and only with the RF line power enabled.The_x000D_
above procedure for enabling the RF line power applies to both the _x000D_
standard Sky digi box and to Sky Plus digi boxes. The procedure to _x000D_
enable the RF line power on a Sky HD box is a little different.Proceed as follows:Press the SERVICES buttonPress 0 then 0 then 1 then SELECTPress the right arrow 3 times to move the tab along to RF OutetsPress down arrow twice to move down to RF Outlet Power SupplyUse the right arrow to toggle the setting on and off. The required setting is on.Prees the green button to save the settingPress SKY to finish
