CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER  
Preparation  
Place your Plaza HD•T2 receiver on a firm, level surface close to the  
television, a mains electricity socket, and the cable from the aerial.  
(See Appendix A – Safety.)  
This section explains how to set up your Plaza HD•T2  
to receive Freeview channels.  
2
THE AERIAL  
To receive Freeview, you must connect your Plaza HD•T2 receiver  
to an appropriate TV aerial that has been correctly installed. If  
your aerial is unable to provide adequate signal, it may need to be  
realigned. Please consult a professional.  
Connect the cable from your aerial to the ANT IN socket at the  
back of the Plaza HD•T2. If you also want to use your television’s  
internal tuner, you can optionally connect a cable from the ANT  
OUT socket at the back of the Plaza HD•T2 to the appropriate  
input on your television. Please note that to conserve energy, by  
default this output is disabled when the Plaza HD•T2 is in standby.  
You can enable it in the System section of the Setup menu (please  
see page 29).  
10  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
SWITCHING ON  
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. Makesuretheconnectionsarefullypushedin-you’llhearaclick  
as they lock into place. Consult your router or hub’s documentation for  
further guidance.  
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.

Press the button and your Plaza HD•T2 receiver is now ready  
for you to watch Freeview digital TV.  
Your Plaza HD•T2 receiver will scan for channels, displaying the  
total number of TV, radio and data channels found. When the scan  
is complete, press  
to proceed to the next step.  
To use the receiver’s parental guidance function, locked channels or  
restore to factory default, you need to create a PIN. Enter your choice  
of PIN by pressing the required number button (0, 1 … 9) for each of the  
four PIN digits, then press

THE LOCK PIN  
If you have set up your receiver for a 16:9 Widescreen TV, the  
options are:  
Some of the Plaza HD•T2’s menu functions can be locked to  
avoid accidental changes to the receiver’s setup, and you can lock  
particular channels to prevent some family members, such as  
children, from watching them.  
• Auto - the broadcaster chooses the best display format.  
• Widescreen - a 4:3 broadcast is stretched to fill the 16:9 screen.  
• Pillarbox – a 4:3 broadcast is shown unaltered with black bars  
on each side.  
To use a locked menu function or watch a locked channel, you need  
to enter the four-digit PIN that you set when you first installed the  
Plaza HD•T2. You can change the lock PIN, without re-installing  
the receiver, as explained later in this section.  
If you have set up your receiver for a 4:3 Traditional TV, the options are:  
• Auto - the broadcaster chooses the best display format.  
• Centre Cut-out - a 16:9 broadcast is cropped to show only the  
centre of the image.  
• Letterbox - a 16:9 broadcast is shown unaltered with black bars  
above and below it.  
CHANGING THE CHANNEL LIST  
The channel list contains all the Freeview channels that the Plaza  
HD•T2 found when it was first installed, and may include some  
channels that you do not watch, do not want to include in the on-  
screen list, or do not want some members of your family to watch.  
DISPLAY MODE  
Most Freeview programmes are broadcast using a widescreen 16:9 format,  
designed for a widescreen TV. If you watch a widescreen broadcast on a  
squarer 4:3 television, or a 4:3 broadcast on a widescreen TV, the Plaza  
HD•T2 provides a choice of how the image is displayed. Pressing the  
button will take you through the three available options.

Appendix A – Safety  
VENTILATION  
POWER  
Slots and openings in the receiver’s cover are for ventilation. Ensure  
a minimum distance of 5cm around the apparatus for sufficient  
ventilation. Ensure the ventilation is not impeded by covering the  
ventilation opening with items such as newspapers, table-cloths,  
curtains, etc. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to the  
receiver overheating.  
Your receiver requires a 100V to 240V AC ~ 50Hz mains supply  
and is fitted with a moulded plug. The mains plug is used as the  
disconnect device and shall remain readily operable. The USB port  
maximum load is 500mA under normal operation.  
CABLES  
CLEANING  
Make sure all cables are positioned so they are not likely to be  
walked on, crushed or damaged by things placed on or against  
them. Pay particular attention to the power cable where it goes  
into the socket and where it comes out of the receiver. Do not  
connect or adjust cables to the receiver when it is plugged in.  
Unplug the receiver before you clean it with a lightly dampened  
cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.  
LIGHTNING  
If there is a storm or lightning, unplug the receiver.  
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE  
Use the apparatus only in moderate climates (not in tropical  
climates). Do not allow it to get wet as this is dangerous. Do  
not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not place  
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.  
SERVICING  
Make sure that anyone who services your receiver is qualified to do  
so. Do not remove the cover yourself – you could get an electric shock.  
HEAT AND FLAMES  
REPLACEMENT PARTS  
Do not place the apparatus near to naked flames or sources of  
intense heat, such as an electric fire. Do not place naked flame  
sources, such as lighted candles on the apparatus. Batteries shall  
not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.  
If your receiver needs repairing, make sure the person carrying out  
the repair uses parts which are specified by us or which have the  
same specifications as the original part. Other parts may cause a  
fire, electric shock or other dangers.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY  
The wire which is coloured brown or red must be connected to the  
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red. No  
connection is to be made to the Earth terminal of the plug as this  
product is double insulated.  
Your receiver requires a 100V to 240V AC ~ 50/60Hz mains supply  
and is fitted with a moulded plug. If the plug breaks or becomes  
damaged do not use it. If you change the fuse in the plug ensure  
you refit the fuse cover. If the plug requires replacement please  
follow these instructions. The wires in the mains lead are coloured  
in accordance with the following code:  
If a 13 Amp (BS1363) Plug is used, fit an ASTA approved (BS1362)  
3 Amp fuse only. Your product is fitted with a moulded plug. If it  
requires replacement please cut off and dispose of safely, then  
rewire as shown opposite.

out with your household waste. Under the Waste Electrical and  
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations, your local council must  
provide a suitable recycling centre.
