| 784717 | 2009-09-21 01:14:00 | Thats a bargain. I payed $450 for mine from Noel Lemmings back in June. They are Freeview approved. The only things I don't like about it is that it only has a red led for power off no green one for power on and it is not very bright. My receiver sits in a cabinet with tinted glass doors and in the daylight you can't till whether it is off or on. When watching TV I turn the receiver off first then the TV. Another problem I find is the remote is not very directional. You have to be pointing it almost dead strait at the receiver for it to work. Minor problems. :) How do I connec it? All I have is the HDMI cable and the remote. Thinking of any tuning. |

| 784719 | 2009-09-21 03:49:00 | I actually got mine on the 14th of May. At lunch time today I switched on my Zinwell 620HD tuner and up popped a message that a software upgrade was available, select yes or no to do it now, and it also said it would take up to 5 mins to do. I selected yes and after about 5 mins it had done it. It did a reset and automatically scanned the channels etc. After it had finished it went back to the TV and up popped Software upgrade available so I selected yes and after about 30 seconds it reset itself and went back to the TV. Now every time I switch it on the software message pops up. Rang Next Electronics who said it shouldn't do that and send it back to them. Took it back to Noels who are sending it to Next Electronics in Auckland. BTW it did the software upgrade as the new software version was dated 2/Sept/2009. :) |

| 784722 | 2009-09-21 07:29:00 | Yes, I should have said a UHF aerial was required. Ken :o |

| 784723 | 2009-09-21 20:54:00 | Yes, I should have said a UHF aerial was required. Ken :o Well you managed both to confuse and mislead this lad,thanks K. The coaxial is for connecting to amplifier. |

| 784724 | 2009-09-21 20:59:00 | You mean the optical outlet is to connect to an amplifier if it has a connection for one. :) |

| 784725 | 2009-09-21 21:05:00 | You mean the optical outlet is to connect to an amplifier if it has a connection for one. :) I am talking of the machine in question,the one you and I have. I am still thinking how to connect the thing. I am thinking I will need another rf lead. |

| 784726 | 2009-09-21 21:39:00 | The link that Ken posted for the manual is wrong, try this one, not Kens fault but Freeviews. www.freeviewnz.tv It is quite easy to set up. Put the UHF aerial lead into the RF in socket and put the HDMI cable into the HDMI socket of the tuner and the other end into the back of your Sony LCD TV. The HDMI cable carries both sound and picture, that is all you have to do. If you want to put the sound through an ampifier then connect the sound up via the audio out sockets to your amplifier. :) |
