About your TV Box (GFHD254)
If you subscribe to Google Fiber TV service, you received one TV Box (GFHD254), a power cable, and a remote control for each TV included in the service.
This article describes the TV Box model GFHD254. If you have another model, see specific information for your device: modelGFD200or model GFD100.
The TV Box dimensions are 8.4" W x 6.0" D x 1.2" H. The following image shows the purpose of each port on the back of the device.
The AVout port provides analog video connections using a special breakout cable. Your Installation Specialist can provide this cable, if needed.
Each TV Box is connected by WiFi or Ethernet to the Network+ Box. The TV Box is also connected to your TV.
Connecting your TV to the HDMI port on the TV Box ensures the most vivid picture and enhances your viewing enjoyment. If your TV does not support HDMI, you can use an
analog breakout cable, which is available from your Installation Specialist or at a Google Fiber Space in your area. (You can use an HDMI or an analog connection, but not both.)
Do not connect your TV Box output to a VCR. Video signals fed through VCRs may be affected by copyright protection systems and may produce a distorted image on your TV.
When the TV Box is properly connected and powered on, the LED on the front displays solid blue.
Although the connector on the back of the TV Box looks just like a headphone jack, it is an AV out port. To use the AV out port, you can use a special analog breakout cable, which
is available from your Installation Specialist, or you can pick one up at a Google Fiber Space in your area. The USB port on the back of the TV Box is not currently supported but
might be enabled to support new features in a future release.
