No HDMI input on your TV?
The T1 was designed for HD, which requires HDMI. However, if you have an older TV that doesn’t have HDMI, the T2•R can still almost certainly be connected to it using the Manhattan Analogue AV Kit (not included). Your TV simply needs either of these inputs. If you want to know how to make an old TV HDMI compatible, we have a handy guide.
The T1 has a 3.5mm 4-pole Minijack analogue AV output that can be used to connect it to older TVs with the Manhattan Analogue AV Kit (not included). Learn more >
Connect your T1
Ensure your aerial is connected to your T1 and an HDMI or AV cable is connected from your T1 to your TV.
When your T1 is turned on, the LED on the front is blue.
Select the input on your TV
Press the GUIDE button on your T1 remote control. This displays the TV Guide, making it easy to tell when you find the right input.
To change inputs, most TV remotes use a button labelled ‘AV’, ‘SOURCE’, ‘INPUT’, or with a TV icon and arrow. Each press should cycle through your inputs. Check your TV's manual if necessary.
Once you find the input displaying the TV Guide, press EXIT and check if live TV is working. Try changing to BBC 1 by pressing '1' on the remote control. If the T1 says there is No Signal, you may have a problem with your aerial. To retune:
- Press MENU
- Select 'Settings'
- Select 'Tuning'
- Select 'Smart Retune' and follow the on-screen instructions
Yes, Freeview channels are transmitted digitally and a good aerial is required to receive channels.
Yes, the T1 has a power-saving feature called 'Auto Standby' that takes place after three hours when no buttons have been pressed on the remote control or front panel. The duration can be changed or Auto Standby can be turned off altogether by pressing MENU and going to: Settings > System > Auto Standby
Yes, the T1 will automatically check for an update each night and install one if it’s available. This can be disabled by turning ‘Automatic Updates’ off in the System section of the Settings menu. You can also manually check for an update by selecting ‘Check for Update Now’.
Please note that unless the update is considered critical, it will only be released over the internet and not broadcast over the air, so we recommend keeping your T1 connected to your internet router by Ethernet cable. If you can’t connect your T1 to your router using an Ethernet cable, the update can be installed using USB instead.
Yes, the T1 remote is able to learn from your TV's remote to be able to control the volume level.
