Connect your Horizon box to a upc cablecom wall socket. If your upc cablecom wall socket has 3 holes you can connect the coax cable to the smallest hole in the middle. If you have a 2-hole wall socket you must first put the small adapter on the coax cable and then connect it to the right hole (TV). Your wall socket might also be installed the other way round; in this case please connect the coax cable with adapter to the left hole.

Option 1

Option 2

Now take the HDMI cable and connect it to the box and to one of the free HDMI connections on your TV. Please remember the chosen connection (e.g. HDMI 1/2/3, etc.). In step 4 you will need to select the correct HDMI connection on your TV.

HOME NETWORK SETUP
If you ordered a upc cablecom internet subscription with your new Horizon box, you can use the Horizon box as an internet router and wire less access point. If you have an existing internet subscription (separate router with upc cablecom or third party internet subscription), you can connect the box to your existing router. Even if you dont have an internet subscription you will be able to connect your devices such as PCs, NAS, tablet PCs or smartphones to your Horizon box (WLAN or LAN) in order to enjoy your photos, videos or music on your TV. For more information refer to the chapter HOME MEDIA SETUP.

15

Connect to existing router (client mode)


If you have an existing internet subscription (upc cablecom or third party), you can connect the Horizon box to your existing router over Ethernet or WLAN.

Connecting over Ethernet


Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the four LAN ports on the rear of the Horizon box and your existing router then go to: MAIN MENU > TOOLBOX > SETTINGS > HOME NETWORK SETTINGS > SET UP YOUR HOME NETWORK

Use Horizon box as router


To use your Horizon box as your router and wireless access point go to MAIN MENU > TOOLBOX > SETTINGS > HOME NETWORK SETTINGS > SET UP YOUR HOME NETWORK

Select CREATE NETWORK. The Horizon box configures its wireless access point. As a result, the SSID, and ENCRYPTION METHOD are displayed on screen. Write down the SSID, and encryption method, as you will need them to connect devices to the wireless access point. The WLAN password can be found on the bottom of your Horizon HD Recorder. The Horizon box now acts as your router and wireless access point. At this point, you have the option to set up your media catalogue by selecting SET UP HOME MEDIA. Refer to SET UP HOME MEDIA to continue.

Select JOIN NETWORK. The Horizon box searches the network for the DHCP server to obtain an IP address. Once an IP address has been obtained, the following message will be displayed: Your box is successfully connected to your home network. Please select CONTINUE to complete the setup process. The Horizon box now acts as Client. At this point, you have the option to set up your media catalogue by selecting SET UP HOME MEDIA. Refer to SET UP HOME MEDIA to continue.
Please note that the Horizon Box uses several of your router IP addresses.

Select JOIN NETWORK. The Horizon box searches the network for a DHCP server to obtain an IP address. Since the Horizon box is not directly connected over Ethernet cable to your router, the search will not be successful and you will be offered the option of selecting your preferred connection. Now you can select WLAN from the displayed options.

You are then given multiple options for connecting your box over WLAN: Select from a list of available WLAN networks SET UP WITH WPS PBC MANUAL ENTRY

Select from a list of available WLAN networks Select the SSID of the existing WLAN router you wish to connect. Enter the PASSWORD for the WLAN router, select CONFIRM and press OK. The Horizon box will now connect to the router. Set up with WPC PBC The SET UP WITH WPS PBC option provides an easy connection method if your existing router has auto pairing configuration capabilities. Check your routers user manual for auto pairing setup instructions. When the router is searching for devices, select SET UP WITH WPS PBC. The Horizon box and your existing router will then connect. Manual Entry The MANUAL ENTRY option requires you to enter the SSID of your existing router manually. The Horizon box then scans for this network. Enter the PASSWORD for your existing router, then select CONFIRM and press OK. The Horizon box connects to your existing router. At this point, you have the option to set up your media catalogue by selecting SET UP CATALOGUE. Refer to SET UP HOME MEDIA to continue.

BACK

Installation
Set up home media
Once you have successfully connected the Horizon box to your home network, you can set up your media catalogue of music and videos stored on your connected devices. Make sure your DLNA-certified devices are connected to the Home Network using either Wi-Fi or Ethernet before continuing. If your device does not support DLNA you might install a DLNA server such as Twonky. Twonky is available for PC, Mac, tablet PCs and smartphones. As a upc cablecom customer, you can download Twonky software (PC and Mac) for free from the upc cablecom website (upc-cablecom.ch/twonky). Download Twonky software for tablet PCs and smartphones from an App Store (e.g. Apple App Store or Android Market).

17

After setting up the home network you have the option to set up your media catalogue. Select SET UP HOME MEDIA and press OK.

If DLNA devices are found, the Horizon box will display a list of the connected devices. Select CONTINUE and press OK to continue with the next step.

Horizons DLNA functionality is currently limited. If you possess a large number of photos, videos or audio content, the box may freeze or respond very slowly. We recommend you use a LAN cable to connect Horizon to your home network or else use fewer than 1,000 files. If your box exhibits problems despite that, we recommend restoring Horizons factory settings and forgoing use of the media playback function from the home network for the time being. We are working with our technology partners to extend the number of compatible formats and improve the cataloguing of media content from the home network. 3

You will be asked if you would like your Horizon box to create a catalogue of the music and videos stored on your home network. This will make it easier and quicker to find and play your home network content. Select YES to turn this on and complete the setup process. Your films and TV series will then be available in MY LIBRARY > MY VIDEOS.

This chapter explains how to handle the menu structure and how to get the most out of your Horizon media experience. You will find all functions of the Horizon box in the MAIN MENU. There are seven MAIN MENU options in the MAIN MENU. These options are: CHANNELS, TV GUIDE, SUGGESTED, SEARCH, TOOLBOX, ON DEMAND and MY LIBRARY. Some functions are unique to the corresponding menu option; others are common for almost the entire platform (for example, SEARCH, SORT, FILTER and the Action menu). The MAIN MENU is always displayed when you turn the Horizon box ON from a standby mode, or after pressing the MENU key on the remote control. It is always displayed with the CHANNELS menu highlighted. When you turn the Horizon box ON, the channel shown behind the MAIN MENU will be the last channel you were viewing before the Horizon box was turned OFF, or your favourite channel. Pressing the MENU key on the remote control will return you to the MAIN MENU screen from any screen. Pressing the BACK key on the remote control switches from the MAIN MENU to the TV screen display.

We recommend you use a LAN cable to connect Horizon to your home network or else use fewer than 1,000 files. If your box exhibits problems despite that, we recommend restoring Horizons factory settings and forgoing use of the media playback function from the home network for the time being. We are working with our technology partners to extend the number of compatible formats and improve the cataloguing of media content from the home network.

RECORDING CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
Your Horizon HD Recorder allows simultaneous recording of up to 4 programmes. If more than 4 recordings are active at the same time, a recording conflict will occour. There are two situations where recording conflicts can occur. When you want to record a programme and other programmes are scheduled for recording with recording times that overlap (PROGRAMME RECORDING CONFLICTS). When you book a recording and the disk is full (DISK SPACE MANAGEMENT CONFLICTS). Conflicts can occur when you try to book a recording from any of the following areas: during Live TV content while using the channel bar in the TV Guide from your Search results in Suggestions while searching Related items

71

Programme recording conflicts


A programme recording conflict occurs when you try to book a recording and the maximum number of other recordings, that have overlapping times, are already booked. The conflict arises when you select the RECORD option in an action menu and press the OK key. When a conflict occurs (Message - a conflict has o ccurred), the conflict resolution screen appears. You can choose to resolve the conflict in three ways: MANUALLY AUTOMATICALLY CANCEL RECORDING

BACK

Miscellaneous
AUTOMATICALLY
If you select the AUTOMATICALLY option, the Horizon box decides at the actual time of the conflict, how to resolve the conflict. The Horizon box assigns each of the booked recordings a priority level, with protected recordings having the highest priority and recordings that were booked earlier, the lowest priority. Live TV has priority over all bookings. When a conflict is imminent, the Horizon box will stop recording the booking with the lowest priority and start recording the booking with the higher priority. If the higher priority booking is completed before the lower prioritised booking time is over, the Horizon box will resume recording the lower priority booking.

72

MANUALLY
If you select the MANUALLY option and press OK, a list of programmes to be recorded appears (listed from the earliest to the latest). You can now select the single/multiple programmes that you want to cancel to resolve the conflict. Until the conflict is resolved, the highlight will stay on the next item that needs to be cancelled. If the conflict is resolved, this screen disappears automatically.
There is a timeout of 120 seconds on this screen. If the timeout elapses and you have not selected how to solve the conflict, the new recording you set is automatically cancelled.

CANCEL RECORDING
The option CANCEL RECORDING cancels the newest booking and returns to full screen TV.

BACK

Miscellaneous
Disk space management conflicts
The Disk Space Management conflict screen is displayed when you have started or booked a recording of a programme and the Horizon box determines that there is insufficient disk space to complete the booking. When this conflict screen appears, it is displayed because of the Disk Space Management settings you have configured in TOOLBOX RECORDINGS AND REMINDERS. Based on the priority of the recordings, the system displays two diffe rent messages. The following message is displayed if there are non-protected (low priority) recordings on the disk: Your disk is full. Would you like to automatically delete previousrecordings? In this case, you are asked to accept or reject the deletion of low priority recordings from the disk to continue the recording. You have two choices: To keep the low priority recordings, select the NO option and press OK. The Horizon box will not cancel the recordings with low priority and recording of the current booking is stopped. To delete low priority recordings, select the YES option and press OK. The Horizon box will cancel recordings with low priority and the current booked recording will continue. The following message is displayed if protected (high priority) recordings are on the disk: Your disk is full. You need to delete previous recordings stored in your library. In this case, you are asked to accept or reject the deletion of high priority recordings from the disk to continue the recording. You have two choices: To keep the high priority recordings, select the NO option and press OK. The Horizon box will not cancel the recordings with high priority and recording of the current booking is stopped. To delete the high priority recordings, select the YES option and press OK. The Horizon box will cancel recordings with high priority and the current booked recording will continue.
This screen has a 180 seconds timeout for your decision. If the timeout expires, the default action (NO option) will take place.

Conflicts during booking or instant recording
When you are booking a recording or you manually start a recording and the disk is full, the system will also display a conflict warning message. Depending on the disk management settings you have set in TOOLBOX RECORDINGS AND REMINDERS the Horizon box will give you the following options: If the Disk Space Management settings are set to NEVER DELETE RECORDINGS, the notification screen is displayed. You must go to the LIBRARY and select recordings to delete to free up disk space. If the Disk Space Management settings are set to AUTO DELETE RECORDINGS or WARN ME ABOUT CONFLICTS, the Horizon box checks if there are any lowest priority recordings. If there are, then the disk quota conflict is ignored and the recording is booked. Low priority recording disk space will be used for the booking If there are no low priority recordings, the notification screen is displayed. You must go to the LIBRARY and select recordings to delete to free up disk space.
This screen will disappear after a timeout of 120 seconds. If the timeout expires, the booking will be ignored.

Problems and solutions There is no picture on the TV
Check the HDMI or SCART cable connections of the Horizon box and TV. Check the cable connection between the Horizon box and cable wall socket.

86

The volume controls on the Horizon remote control does not work. I cant change the volume for any programmes
To increase or decrease the volume for digital television programmes, the remote control must first be set up for use with your television. Otherwise the sound volume can only be adjusted using the TV remote control. Refer to PAIRING THE HORIZON REMOTE CONTROL WITH YOUR TV.

There is no audio sound on the TV


Check the HDMI or SCART cable connection between the Horizon box and TV. If other audio devices are connected, check their cables also. Verify that the volume level is not set to zero.

The television picture is pixelated (blocky effect)


The signal received by the Horizon box is too weak. Check the coax cable between the wall socket and the Horizon box. In order to ensure the quality of the digital signal, you must use the cables supplied (see p. 7) or those in line with the C12 standards. C12 stands for Coax12; this cable corresponds to the special requirements for damping and radiation. If you have your own distributors or amplifiers, always connect them externally the Horizon box must be directly connected to the wall socket. If the picture remains pixelated after the cables have been checked, please call customer care on 0800 66 88 66.

The power on the Horizon box does not go on


Check if the power supply cable is correctly plugged into the Horizon box and wall electrical socket. Check that the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the Horizon box is not set to the OFF position.

I want to watch a channel but the message You are not subscribed to this channel appears
The number of available channels depends on your subscription. Some channels require an additional subscription. If you are interested, please call customer care on 0800 66 88 66.

The Horizon remote control no longer works, the Horizon box doesnt react to its commands
If the remote control no longer functions correctly, it is probably time to replace the batteries. If the remote control still doesnt work after having replaced the batteries please call upc cablecom customer care (0800 66 88 66) to have your remote control replaced.

Picture loss (black screen) or displaying of the wrong colours


Change the TV colour output to RGB. This function is available at TOOLBOX SETTINGS - AUDIO & VIDEO VIDEO SETTINGS TV COLOUR OUTPUT RGB

Can I connect the Horizon Box to the television via both HDMI (for HD) and SCART (for standard definition) at the same time?
This is not generally possible. There are, however, some televisions that allow this. If this is the case, it is possible to manually switch between SCART and HDMI transmission. Generally, it is recommended that you decide on one or the other. The HDMI connector will usually be the best choice.

What do I have to watch out for when connecting the Horizon box?
It is important that the Horizon box is connected directly to the wall socket. There should not be any other devices, distributors or amplifiers between the wall socket and Horizon box. Make sure you also leave sufficient space around the Horizon box to ensure good ventilation.

Do HD channels always broadcast their programmes in HD quality?


HD stations always transmit their programmes in High Definition (HD) quality. However, many of the programmes in question have only been produced in Standard Definition (SD). These are then upscaled by the broadcaster to match HD resolution. Upscaled graphical material does not match the quality of material produced in HD.

I do not have an HDMI connector on my television; can I still connec t the Horizon Box?
Yes, by connecting a SCART cable (not delivered with the device) to the SCART connector on your television set. For best picture quality, you should always use the HDMI cable where possible.
