Switching on

Ensure your television is turned off and connect the HDMI cable supplied between the HDMI socket at the back of your Plaza HD•T2 receiver and an HDMI socket on your television. There may be more than one HDMI socket on your television. If you are not sure which to use, check the television’s manual.

HINT: If your television has no HDMI socket, then it must be connected to the receiver by SCART or RCA cable, and you will not be able to watch Freeview channels in high definition.

Plug the power cable from the rear of the Plaza HD•T2 into an available mains socket that is turned off.

You can also connect the Plaza HD•T2 receiver to a stereo or surround sound system, so that you can listen to the TV sound through the sound system instead of (or as well as) the television’s speakers. If you connect a coaxial S/PDIF lead (not supplied) between the S/PDIF sockets on your receiver and digital sound system, you can listen to the TV sound in digital audio quality, or even in surround sound, depending on the broadcast and your sound system.

To use apps such as BBC iPlayer or YouTube, the Plaza HD•T2 must be connected to your internet router or hub using an ethernet cable (not supplied). Plug one end of the ethernet cable into the ETHERNET socket at the back of the Plaza HD•T2, and the other into your hub or router. Make sure the connections are fully pushed in - you’ll hear a click as they lock into place. Consult your router or hub’s documentation for further guidance.

If your receiver is not located near your hub or router, you could use HomePlug powerline adapters to extend your home network using the ring main of your house. Another option is to use a Wireless Ethernet Bridge to bridge the Ethernet socket of the Plaza HD•T2 to Wi-Fi, enabling it to connect wirelessly to your home network. For more information, please consult with your installer or retailer. If you require support for these devices, you will need to contact the manufacturer. The Plaza HD•T2 does not support USB Wi-Fi dongles.

Take off the battery compartment cover from the back of the Plaza HD•T2 remote control by lifting it up while pushing the catch. Insert the two AAA batteries supplied, as shown on the inside of the compartment, and replace the compartment cover.
