3 Step Three
Setting up the SLx link
IMPORTANT – read carefully
Before you begin using the SLx link you must provide power to it from your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver. The following instructions must be performed from your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver location using your
Sky™/Sky+™ remote control:
1.Switch on your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver and view on your main television.
2.Press the SERVICES button (Figure 4.1).
3.Select the SYSTEM SETUP option.
4.Press the following buttons in sequence:
0, 1, SELECT.
You should now see the installers’ menu. If not,
repeat the above steps.
5.Select the RF OUTLETS option (Figure 4.2).
Make a note of the RF channel number in this menu as you may require this information when tuning your second television, depending on tune operation on your television.
6.Highlight the RF OUTPUT POWER SUPPLY option (Figure 4.3).
7.Set this option to ON using the left/right arrow buttons.
8.Select SAVE NEW SETTINGS.

4 Step Four
Using the SLx link
1.Switch on your second TV and select an empty channel.
2.Tune and store this channel to the Sky™/ Sky+™ receiver. Depending on your television, you may be able to tune to the RF channel number displayed in the installers’ menu. Please consult your TV user manual for details of how to tune your television.
3.Once tuned to your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver you should now be able to use your Sky™/Sky+™ remote control to control your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver and view your Sky™/Sky+™ channels on your second TV.
Additional Sky™/Sky+™ remote controls are available for purchase should you wish to use a separate remote control for each viewing location. These should be available from your local electrical retailer.
Note: You cannot view a different Sky™ channel in each location without the use of additional Sky™ receivers and subscriptions. Please contact Sky™ for details.
If you have any problems setting up the SLx link, please read the instructions again carefully or see the common questions below:
•I cannot view my terrestrial TV channels on either of my televisions
Check that your terrestrial aerial is connected to the Aerial IN/RF IN socket on the back of your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver from your aerial wall socket or via your VCR. The terrestrial aerial signal will now be output from RF1 (to your main television) and RF2 (to your second television).
•The SLx red LED does not switch on and my remote control is not working
The SLx link requires power from the Sky™/ Sky+™ receiver in order to power the remote sensor. You can perform the following simple exercise to find where the SLx link voltage is being lost.
1.Connect the SLx link directly into the RF2 socket on your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver. Does the SLx Link LED light up?
YES - Sky™/Sky+™ box is OK, move to next step
NO - your Sky™/Sky+™ box is not switched on, or is no set up correctly (see step three of installation instructions).
2.If you have an aerial amplifier/splitter between the Sky™/Sky+™ receiver and the second TV, connect the SLx link directly into an output socket on your amplifier/splitter using a short piece of coaxial cable with male to male connections. Does the SLx Link LED light up?
YES - Aerial amplifier/splitter is OK, move to next step
NO - Your amplifier/splitter is blocking the SLx power signal. You will need to fit a digital amplifier bypass kit (available from your local electrical retailer).
3.If you have any wall plates fitted in either the main or second TV locations, connect the SLx link directly into the wall plate in the second TV location. Does the SLx Link LED light up?
YES – Wall plates are OK, move onto next step
NO – One or more of your wall plates are isolated and are blocking the SLx link power signal. Replace with non-isolated wall plates (available from your local electrical retailer).
4.If the red LED still does not switch on after performing the above excercise, it is likely that there is a problem with the coaxial cabling or connectors. Please check that all cables are free from kinks, twists or tight bends and that all
coaxial connectors are fitted correctly. Once you have found the problem and rectified as detailed above, reconnect the SLx link in the second TV location as instructed in step two of the installation instructions
•The SLx link LED is on but my remote control is not working
1.Fit an additional small length of coaxial cable between the SLx link and your Sky™/ Sky+™ receiver to resolve a possible phasing problem caused by the length of the cable being used.
2.Check the batteries in your remote control.
3.Ensure there is a clear line of sight between your remote and the SLx infrared eye.
