USING YOUR TV WITH A SKY DIGITAL SET TOP BOX

Option 1) Connecting your TV to your Sky box (when both the TV and Sky Box are located in the same room)

Depending on your Sky Box & TV model, connect either by SCART or HDMI cables

(available separately)

If connecting by SCART, select the ‘Input source’ on the TV as SCART.

If connecting by HDMI, select the ‘Input source’ on the TV as HDMI (if the TV has more than 1 HDMI port, ensure you select the input source to match the HDMI numbered port on the rear of the TV)

If you wish to use your Sky remote to operate the TV’s functions, you will need a Sky remote control (Revision 9 or later) and you will need to programme a 4 digit code into it.
