using an RF modulator

If your TV set does not have audio/video input jacks, you 
will need an RF modulator. The TELUS installer will supply 
the modular if required.

initializing your TELUS TV digital box

Now that you have connected the TELUS TV digital box 
to your home entertainment system, the next step will be to 
initialize the TELUS TV digital box to receive a TV signal.

During the initialization process, the TELUS TV digital 
box identifies itself to the TELUS network and obtains 
information regarding your TELUS TV service. 
This process can take up to 5 minutes to complete.

The TELUS TV digital box will need to be initialized in 
the following situations:

■

  The first time it is powered on by plugging it into a 

power source

■

  After an extended power outage

■

  When the unit has been unplugged from the electrical 

outlet, then reconnected

■

  When instructed by a TELUS service representative

To start the initialization process:

1.  Ensure that your TELUS TV digital box has been 

correctly connected to your TV or home entertainment 
system. Please refer to the previous sections on how 
to connect your TELUS TV digital box. 

Do not plug 

the TELUS TV digital box into a power source at 
this time.

2.  After connecting the TELUS TV digital box to your home 

entertainment system, turn your TV on.

3.  Tune the TV to the correct Video source. You must 

select the correct Video Input on your TV to see the 
TELUS TV picture.

■

  If you used a Coaxial cable (with the RF modulator) 

to connect your box to your TV, tune the TV to 
channel 3 or 4.

■

  If you used audio/video or S-Video cables to connect 

your box, tune the TV to the Video Input that your 
box is connected to. These inputs are often called 
VIDEO1, VIDEO2, Line In or simply VIDEO.

4.  Now plug your TELUS TV digital box into the power 

source.

5.  Watch the TV screen as the initialization sequence 

completes. This may take a few minutes.

Each step takes some time, so please be patient. The bar 
on the TV screen indicates progress towards completion of 
the initialization sequence.

1.  Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO OUT R

and L 

on the back of the TELUS TV digital box (colour coded, 
red and white). Connect the VIDEO OUT (yellow) to the 
back of the TELUS TV digital box. Connect the other 
ends of the cables to

the corresponding input jacks on 

the RF modulator.

NOTE: You may also use the S-Video connector instead of the 
VIDEO

(yellow) jack. Remember to connect audio cables for this 

connection

as

S-Video only carries the picture signal, not the sound.

2.  Connect the RF OUT jack on the RF modulator to your 

TV’s Antenna IN jack (sometimes labelled CABLE/
ANTENNA) using a Coaxial cable.

3.  Plug the power supply from the RF modulator into an 

AC wall power socket.

4.  Your RF modulator is now connected to your TV. 

Go back to the appropriate 

Connecting the TELUS

TV digital box 

section (see pages 9 – 13) to complete 

your installation.
