Turn off your television and connect the HDMI cable supplied between the HDMI socket at the back of your Plaza HD•S2 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.

Plug the power supply lead into the POWER socket at the back of the receiver and then plug the power supply into an available mains socket that is turned off.

To watch On Demand TV services including BBC iPlayer and ITV Player, the Plaza HD-S2 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-S2, 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•S2 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•S2 does not support USB Wi-Fi dongles.
