Philex SLX LINK SYSTEM 27833 Leaflet

USER GUIDE

1.  Fit your female coaxial connector to one end of the 

coaxial cable and fit your male coaxial connector to 

the other end.  It is important that when fitting coaxial 

connectors that the cable makes full contact with the 

pin of the coaxial connector.  This is best acheived by 

soldering the cable into the connector.  Failure to make 

a full contact between the cable and the connector pin 

will disable the remote control function of the SLx link.
2. Route your length of coaxial cable from the Sky™/

Sky+™ receiver location (female socket connector) to 

your second TV location (male plug connector).  You can 

route the cable indoors or outdoors but it is important 

to ensure that there are no kinks or twists in the cable 

and that tight bends are avoided as this can damage the 

cable core.
Note:  It is important that the coaxial cable signal is not 

interrupted by isolated wall plates, non-bypass aerial 

amplifiers or aerial splitters as these will disable the 

remote control function.   

If necessary, please use non-isolated wall plates or a 

digital bypass kit with your aerial amplifier/splitter to 

avoid such problems (contact your local electrical or 

satellite installer for details).
3.  Once your length of coaxial cable is in place, connect 

the female coaxial connector to the RF2 socket on the 

back of your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver.

1. Connect the short lead with a male plug which is 

attached to the SLx link to the aerial input socket 

on your second TV.  If you are using a separate VCR 

(excluding TV/VCR combination systems) then you 

must connect the SLx link to the VCR aerial input, not 

the TV aerial input.

2. Connect the male plug on your length of coaxial 

cable to the female socket on the SLx link.

3. Position the SLx infrared eye in a clear line of sight 

from where you will be using the remote control, (eg 

on top of your television).

2.   Please switch off all equipment and remove the 

plugs from the wall sockets before attempting to 

install any cabling.  Please do not switch on any 

equipment until  

you reach Step Three of this installation guide.

3.   We have provided the instructions below for self 

installation, however for best results we suggest 

that the SLx link is fitted by an experienced 

electrical/aerial installer.

Figure 1 shows a typical system setup.  Please read 

the following instructions carefully for full details of 

how to install your SLx link.

The SLx link allows you to both watch and control 

your Sky™ or Sky+™ receiver from a second TV in 

your home regardless of its location.  The SLx link 

is compatible with Sky™ and Sky+™ receivers using 

your existing or additional remote control.

 

  Suitable length of coaxial cable to route from your 

Sky™/Sky™+ receiver to your second television.

   

For coaxial cable runs of over 10 metres, a suitable 
amplifier, such as the SLx 27822BM, is required.
