Connect the cables to your Humax 2tune

The first step to setting up your new Humax 2tune is to connect the necessary cables as shown in the manual included with your new Humax PVR. This includes power cable, antenna cable and AV cable(s) - either a HDMI cable or a Yellow, Red and White analogue cable - and optionally an optical audio cable if you have amplifier. If you will be using Ethernet to network the Humax PVR to your home network you need to connect an Cat5 or Cat6 Ethernet cable, or if you will be using Wireless you need to plug in the included Humax USB WiFi dongle into a USB port on the Humax (preferably the rear port).

Initial setup of the Humax 2tune

Once the necessary cables (and USB dongle if using WiFi) are connected to your Humax you are ready to turn the TV on, turn the Humax on and select the correct AV Input on the TV so you can see the screens from the Humax on the TV. The following steps will take you through the Humax installation wizard and some other required settings.

  1. After the initial Humax boot-up and loading screens have finished the first screen of the installation wizard you will see just informs you of the steps ahead. Press the OK button on the remote control to start the installation wizard.
