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+™/ Sky+ HD™ 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+™/ Sky+ HD™
receiver. Does the SLx Link LED light up?
YES
- Sky™/Sky+™/ Sky+ HD™ box is OK, move
to next step
NO
- your Sky™/Sky+™/ Sky+ HD™ 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+™/ Sky+ HD™ 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
Troubleshooting
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.
