Before installing your ZAPBOX Plus it is important that you read and

understand the instructions completely.

Remember that contact with 230V AC mains can be lethal or can cause severe

electric shock. To avoid this risk :

• Never remove the top cover of the receiver. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside it, but there are some high-voltage live parts.

• Never attempt to repair your receiver. Please contact your retailer.

• Make sure all electrical connectors are properly made.

• Do not place your receiver close to sources of heat, such as heater

or direct sunlight.

• Do not put anything on your receiver which might drip or spill onto it.

• Never place the product near objects filled with water.

• Do not use a liquid form to clean your receiver or remote. A dry cloth

will be sufficient.

If you come across a word that you do not understand, please refer to the

Glossary at the end of this manual.

Your receiver only has one tuner, meaning that you cannot record a channel

other than the one you are watching.

The remote requires two AAA 1.5V batteries. Ensure they are placed correctly.

Please do not dispose of used batteries in your domestic bins. You should

bring them back to your point of sale and place them in the right container.

1 - Installation

A - Simplified installation

As the receiver is not yet plugged into the main source, connect the antenna

directly to the ANT input of the receiver. Connect the TV to the TV scart outlet

of the receiver. Switch on the TV and connect the receiver to the main source.

Insert the batteries in the remote.

A red indicator appears on the

receiver. Press the ON/OFF

key of the remote. The green

indicator will light on and the

welcome screen appears on the

screen. If this is not the case, you

should double-check the scart

connections and or force the A/V

or EXT mode of your TV (refer

to the TV manual). Press OK to

start the installation.

The automatic channels lookup

should start. At the end, the first

channel will appear, meaning the

standard installation is done.

At the bottom of the screen, an

estimation of the remaining time

is displayed. Allow one or two

minutes for the receiver gives a

reliable estimation.

If the search has

not found all channels (or none), this probably means that you need

to better the installation (see next paragraph). If no channels

are found after you have done so, this probably means that you area

is not covered by Free To View.

OPTIONAL

MANDATORY

Screened cable. Replace in case of poor reception by

a high quality cable.

By connecting the TV and the receiver, you will keep the analogue channels

on your TV. You can then record a digital channel whilst watching another

analogue channel.

Installation of the remote extender :

Your zapbox Plus is provided with an infrared extender that allows you to hide

the unit behind the TV set or behind the TV furniture, maintaining the possibility

to control it with the remote controller. Note : you can use use your zapbox

normally without the remote extender.

Connect the extender’s plug on the hole marked IR. Stick the extender on the

side of the TV set, or behind it, paying attention that the wire runs backward.

Before you definitively stick the extender, check that the place you have

chosen allow to correctly operate the remote controller, with a comfortably

wide angle.

B - Wedging / adjusting the aerial

If no channels have been found through your current antenna, it means

that it probably is pointing towards an analogue only transmitter. If your area

is covered by digital, it means that the programs are coming from another

transmitter. You will hence have to adjust the antenna. There are two possible

options, as follows :

Option 1

You know at least one network number (between 21 and 69) used

in your area.

• Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup

/ xxxx / Manual Scan.

• Press the  arrow until the number

of the UHF network that emits digital

channels appears (see channels list

page 25).

• On TxMode, select 2k with

the arrow.

• On Guard Interval , select 1/32 with

the arrow.

• Wait for a few seconds and monitor

the Quality and Level graphs.

• Swivel the antenna to maximise reception. When you get near the emitter,

the Signal Level should increase, and then the Quality. 6 is the lowest

number for a stable image. If the Level does not increase, this means that

you have chosen an incorrect network number, or that the emission is too far

from your antenna.

• Once you have reached the maximum Level / Quality, screw the antenna

tightly.

• Press EXIT.

• Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / xxxx / Fullscan Replace Existing

Services.

Option 2

You are able to receive national channels in analogue and you have no idea

what you can receive in digital quality.

If you are certain that you can receive additional channels, but you do

not know which network is used for these channels, we advise that

you do the following :

Find an UHF antenna with high gain (at least 15 dB) and connect it to

the ANT input of the receiver. Adjust the antenna so it is in the same

position as the previous one and start an automatic channels search

(Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / xxxx / Fullscan Replace Existing

Services).

If you find channels that you were unable to receive with your previous

antenna, simply replace it with the new one. Otherwise, swivel the antenna 1/8

of a turn and start another automatic search. As long as you do not find any

channels, continue the same process. You should end up receiving at least

a few channels.

• Find one of the new channels received.

• Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / xxxx / Manual Scan.

• At the bottom of the screen, you can view the reception level and quality.

• Turn the antenna to optimise the quality and level (quality must be

at least 6).

• Screw the antenna tightly.

• Press Menu to go back to the previous menu.

• Make an automatic search (Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / xxxx /

Fullscan Replace Existing Services).
