Chapter 1
Introduction
The CBV-7100 digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus
is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To reduce confusion in this manual, the word service is preferably used than channel as a term to indicate
one television or radio broadcast.
1.1
Features
This digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• Can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
2
Introduction
• Can view information about the current television or radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
1.2
Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall
socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,
when it is on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not
using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a
wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer
events at any time.
1.2.1
Front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, specific lamps and a display to indicate its
status. The following indicates what they mean.

Connecting up your digital receiver
There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up the
digital receiver suitably to your television and other devices.
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact
your dealer.
2.4.1
Connecting to the broadcasting cable
Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to the
broadcasting cable so that it can receive digital television broadcasts. Connect the broadcasting cable to the CABLE IN connector. If
you have another digital receiver, you may
link it from the CABLE OUT connector.
2.4.2
Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we recommend you to use the first connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.
1. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. Component connector (YPbPr)
10
Setup
3. Composite connector (VIDEO)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting up the digital receiver. See §4.2 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI output
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use an HDMI cable for best results. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television. In this case, you do not have to
make audio connection because it can output
stereo audio or digital audio as well.
To use the Component video output
You need to obtain a Component video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Component video output. Plug one ends of the cable into the Y
(green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the
digital receiver, and plug the other ends into
the matching sockets on your television.
NOTE
When connecting with the Component video cable, remember to also plug in the additional white and red audio cables
from the digital receiver to the back of your television.
2.5 Switching on for the first time
11
To use the Composite video output
You need to obtain a Composite video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Composite video output. Plug one end of the cable into the VIDEO
(yellow) socket on the digital receiver, and
plug the other end into the matching socket on
your television.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video by means of the Composite video output.
To make the audio connection
You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA cable) to link the audio connectors. Plug one
ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and plug the other ends into the matching sockets on your television or audio-video
receiver.
To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television
or audio-video receiver must be able to decode Dolby Digital audio, and you need to
obtain an S/PDIF cable. Plug one end of the
cable into the S/PDIF socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching socket on your audio-video receiver.
2.5
Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it into a wall socket. Ensure that your television set is
12
Setup
turned on and on the correct video channel so that you will be
able to see the display from the digital receiver.
Before switching on the digital receiver, you should insert batteries into the remote control. Open the battery compartment
by removing the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the
polarity, which is marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Press the
button on the top left corner on the remote control. In a little time, you may see a picture displaying a menu.
If you do not see a picture, try pressing the V.Format button on
the remote control. If after several tries you still get no picture,
check that the television is set to the correct input. If the picture
is good, you can skip to §3.1 to search for available television
and radio services. Otherwise, you may need to temporarily
connect the Composite video connector (VIDEO) to your television set so that you can see the menu in order to configure
the video settings.
CAUTION
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to the remote
control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to replace only with 1.5 V AAA size batteries, and observe the
following precautions.
• Do not mix different types of batteries, or new and old
batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not recharge the old batteries.
• In order to avoid any risk of explosion, observe the polarities indicated inside the battery compartment.
• Do not subject to excessive heat such as the sun and
fire.
• If you are not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries. The manufacturer
2.5 Switching on for the first time
13
accepts no liability for the damage resulting from leaking batteries.
• Batteries, including those which contain no heavy
metals, may not be disposed with other household
wastes. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out the legal regulations
which apply in your area.

Service Search
Chapter 3
Service Search
After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to perform a service search.
NOTE
If there is no service stored, you will be not able to access all
menus. A  is another name for a .
3.1
Searching broadcasting services
To perform service search, select the Installation > Service
Search menu. You should see a
screen like the left figure.
3.2 Resetting to factory settings
15
You should set the Search Mode option to Auto at the first
service search after installing the digital receiver. The digital
receiver will search all available services with the automatic
search mode within the frequency range from the frequency
of the Start Frequency option to the frequency of the End Frequency option. Symbol Rate stands for data transfer rate, and
QAM is a form of modulation used in digital broadcasting.
Broadcasting operators send their services in a symbol rate by
a modulation method. Perhaps you do not have to specify the
Symbol Rate and QAM Mode options since they are seldom
changed. However, you should set the QAM Mode option to
Auto for more certainty. You can specify the Start Frequency,
End Frequency and Symbol Rate options with the numeric
buttons if you want to change them.
To search only one frequency, set the Search Mode option to
Manual and specify your desired frequency at the Frequency
option with the numeric buttons.
To start service search, select the Start Search item, then a box
appears, displaying a list of found services. When it has com
pleted, press the OK button to save found services. To stop at
any time or to exit without saving, press the EXIT button.

The digital receiver can output two types of digital audio signals via the S/PDIF output. One is an encoded signal, and the
other is a decoded signal. If you have the digital receiver linked
to your audio-video receiver via the S/PDIF output, you have
to set the Digital Output option to PCM, which means that the
digital receiver will output encoded Dolby Digital audio without decoding so that your audio-video receiver can decode it.
Otherwise, set it to Dolby Digital, then the digital receiver will
output decoded Dolby Digital audio, scaling down it to two
channels.
NOTE
Only if the service you are currently watching provides
a Dolby Digital audio track, you can enjoy Dolby Digital
sound.
4.3
