For its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately. 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: • Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS protocols. 2 Introduction • Can store up to 10,000 television and radio services. • You can edit the services list. • Can create favourite lists of your favourite services. • Can view information about the current television or radio programme. • Has an electronic programme guide that provides an overview of scheduled programmes. • You can record one service while you are currently watching another. • You can record many programmes using a built-in hard drive with large storage capacity. • Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this digital receiver. You can pause a programme you are watching and resume it again at a later time. Then you can quickly go to any part of the current programme by fast forward or rewind search. • If you have an external hard drive connected to the digital receiver via the USB or eSATA port, you can record television programmes into it. • You can play back video files of various formats including DivX. • You can play a built-in network game with other users via the Internet. 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 1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3 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.

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 antenna Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital receiver and the television, you need to connect the digital receiver to the antenna so that it can receive digital television broadcasts. Connect the antenna cable to the LNB 1 IN connector on the back panel of the digital receiver. Also, you must ensure that there is a connection to both the LNB 1 IN and LNB 2 IN connectors on your digital receiver, so that both tuners work properly. 2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13 Normally you do that by using a loop cable to link from the LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector. If you have two antennas without DiSEqC switch, then you have to connect the cable from the other antenna directly to the LNB 2 IN connector rather than using the loop cable. NOTE The digital receiver can supply a current of 500 milliampere at maximum for antenna devices including LNB, DiSEqc switch and antenna rotor through each antenna input connection separately but not simultaneously. If there are too many antenna devices to be simultaneously supplied with sufficient power for a rather long time through the antenna input connections, then your antenna may lack power to operate. So it is recommended to link the LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector with a loop cable, even though the digital receiver is designed to operate independently over two antennas. NOTE Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could simultaneously catch all frequencies coming from a satellite and send them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite antenna only sends the frequencies that it can catch with the LNB frequency and polarisation specified by the digital receiver. So if you have linked from the LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector, you would have some limitations in using some features such as dual recording. Likewise, if you have another digital receiver linked from the LNB 2 OUT connector, you can only use it limitedly. See §3.1 for more details. 2 14 Setup 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. 2. 3. 4. HDMI connector (HDMI) Component connector (YPbPr) SCART connector (TV) 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 SCART output For best results with a standard television set, you should use a SCART cable. Plug one end of the cable into the TV socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into a free SCART socket on your television. Some televisions have only S-Video or Component inputs rather than SCART. 2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 15 If you have such a television, use an appropriate conversion cable to link the TV socket on the digital receiver to the matching socket on your television. If you connect with a standard SCART cable, you do not have to make audio connection because it can output stereo audio as well. But if you use a conversion cable such as SCART-toComponent, then you have to make audio connection. NOTE You cannot view high definition video by means of the SCART output. 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. Y Pb Pr 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. 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. 2 16 Setup 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 audiovideo 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. If you want to use the COAXIAL connector, prepare a coaxial S/PDIF cable (RCA cable); otherwise to use the OPTICAL connector, prepare an optical 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. 2.4.3 Connecting to your video recorder The digital receiver can also output video through an auxiliary SCART connector to another device such as a video recorder. 2.5 Switching on for the first time 17 You need to obtain a SCART cable to link the auxiliary SCART connector. Plug one end of the cable into the VCR socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching socket on your video recorder or suchlike. 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 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 VF 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. 2 18 Setup • 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 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. 19 Chapter 3 Service Search 3 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.

Perform a service search. 20 Service Search 3.1.1 Configuring LNB settings There are two large frequency bands for satellite broadcasts. One is C band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz. The other is Ku band which ranges approximately from 12 to 18 GHz. The LNB (Low Noise Block converter) is used to take a wide band of relatively high frequencies, amplify and convert them to similar signals that is carried at a much lower frequency, which is called Intermediate Frequency (IF). High frequencies from satellites are converted into 950 to 2150 MHz by a LNB. Select the Installation > LNB Setting menu to configure the LNB settings. You should see a screen like the left figure. Pressing the OK button on the Satellite Name option displays the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite toward which your antenna is set to face. Even if you cannot find your desired satellite, you can add your desired satellite to the satellite list. See §3.3 for a detailed description. You have to specify which tuner is connected to your selected 3.1 Searching broadcasting services 21 satellite. If it is LNB 1 IN, set the Tuner Select option to Tuner 1; otherwise, set it to Tuner 2. If you have connected the LNB 1 OUT and LNB 2 IN with a loop-through cable, then set the Connection Type option to Loop Through; otherwise, set it to Separated. NOTE Both the LNB 1 IN and LNB 2 IN sockets should be connected to your antennas either directly or via the loop-through cable. If you have connected only one socket, some features such as dual recording will not function. 3 The digital receiver has a database of broadcasting satellites and their transponders, containing the following information: satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, polarization and LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency range. So you might not have to specify the LNB Frequency option. However, if you have selected the Other entry at the Satellite Name option to specify a satellite that is not in the satellite list, you might have to fill in the correct LNB frequency. The absolute difference between a broadcasting frequency and its LNB frequency must be within 950 to 2150 MHz. For example, if the frequency band of your desired satellite ranges from 3660 to 4118 MHz, you have to set the LNB Frequency option to 5150 MHz. The LNB has to be supplied with electric power to operate. Set the LNB Power option to On if it does not have any other power supply. If you use a dual LNB or two antennas which is connected to the 22 kHz tone switch box, set the 22 kHz option to On. The digital receiver is designed to be compatible with DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) switches. It is possible to connect several antennas to one digital receiver by DiSEqC switches. A DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows switching between up to 22 Service Search four satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switching between up to 16 satellite sources. Set the DiSEqC 1.0 option and the DiSEqC 1.1 option according to your antenna configuration. For example, to select the antenna connected to the A5 input in the left figure, set the DiSEqC 1.1 option to 2 of 4 and the DiSEqC 1.0 option to 1 of 4. If you have a mini DiSEqC 1.0 switch which has only two inputs, you should set the DiSEqC 1.0 option to Mini A instead of 1 of 4. 3.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satellites horizontally by DiSEqC 1.2. When you switch to a service, if it is not provided by the current satellite, it will take longer time than usual because the antenna has to turn to its position. 3.1 Searching broadcasting services 23 To use the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol, select the Installation > Motorized DiSEqC 1.2 menu. You should see a screen like the left figure. At first you have to set the Motorized DiSEqC 1.2 option to Enable. To get the correct position of your desired satellite, take the following steps: 1.

When you watch a programme, if the programme has a subtitle track of the language that is designated for the 1st Subtitle Language, it will be displayed. If the first language is not available but the second language is available, the subtitle of the second language will be displayed. If there is no available language, no subtitle will be displayed. Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with the button. See §5.2.5 for a detailed description. Some broadcaster may send a subtitle track dedicated to persons who have difficulty in hearing. Even when one or more subtitle tracks are available, that subtitle track will be displayed prior to those you have designated for the 1st Subtitle Language and the 2nd Subtitle Language options if the Hard of Hearing option is set to On. 4.1.3 Audio language Set the 1st Audio Language option and the 2nd Audio Language option to your desired languages. When you watch a programme, if the programme has an audio track of the language that is designated for the 1st Audio Language, it will be outputted. If the first language is not available but the second language is, the audio of the second language will be outputted. Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with the button. See §5.2.4 for a detailed description. 4.2 Video and audio settings 4.2 35 Video and audio settings You have to configure the video and audio settings appropriately for your television set and other devices. Select the Settings > A/V Output menu. You should see a screen like the left figure. 4.2.1 High definition television The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from 576 to 1080. In general a resolution of 720 or more is considered high definition. The higher the resolution is, the better the quality is. However, if your television set does not support high definition, you cannot enjoy high definition quality picture. If you have the digital receiver linked to your television via the Component video output (Y/Pb/Pr) or the HDMI output, you have to set the HD Output option to Component. Otherwise, you have to set it to SCART. The available values for the Video Format option vary depending on how you set this option. Set the Video Format option as you desire. If you set this option to 576P, the digital receiver will present even high definition programmes in resolution of 576. On the contrary, if you set it to 1080I, the digital receiver will present even standard definition programmes in resolution of 1080. It is recommended to set it to Auto if you have a high definition television. With that setting the digital receiver will present a programme as it is without any resolution conversion. While watching television you can change the resolution with the VF 4 36 Preference Settings button. Whenever you press it, the video resolution is changed in turn. NOTE You can enjoy only standard definition video with the following video outputs: • Composite video output (VIDEO) • SCART output (TV) 4.2.2 Television aspect ratio If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio option to 16:9. You can enjoy both wide-screen programmes and normalscreen programmes with your wide-screen television as the above figures show. To watch normal-screen programmes in full screen like the left figure, set the Display Format option to Full. Normal-screen pictures then will be inflated to fit to the width of the wide screen. Otherwise, to watch them in the original ratio like the right figure, set it to Center. If you have a normal-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio option to 4:3. 4.2 Video and audio settings 37 You cannot fully enjoy wide-screen programmes with your normal-screen television as the above figures show. The left figure shows a normal picture displayed in the normal screen. To watch wide-screen programmes in the shape like the centre figure, set the Display Format option to Letter Box. Widescreen pictures then will be reduced to fit to the width of the normal screen. Otherwise, to watch them in the shape like the right figure, set it to Center extract. Then wide-screen pictures will be cut out on the left and right sides equally to fit to the width of the normal screen. 4.2.3 Colour format Through the TV SCART output, the digital receiver is able to output video in various colour formats. If you have the digital receiver linked to your television via this output, you should set the SCART Output option to your desired colour format. If you have connected via the RCA socket labeled VIDEO on the back panel, you do not have to set this option because the digital receiver outputs CVBS video through that RCA output independently of the SCART output. In general, it is known that the RGB colour format provides the best video quality with little difference from the YUV colour format but the CVBS colour format does the least. So RGB would be the most desirable option for this. 4.2.4 Anothter video device You can have the digital receiver linked to another video device like a video recorder or a DVD player via the VCR SCART 4 38 Preference Settings output. In this case, the digital receiver will operate differently depending on the setting of the VCR SCART Type option.

This digital receiver provides features of web service and FTP service, by which through the network you can make scheduled recordings, or transfer recording files to your computer. Here you need a router, which will connect the digital receiver to your computer or to the Internet. To use the network features of the digital receiver, you should take the following steps: 1. Configuring your router for the digital receiver. 2. Configuring the network settings on the digital receiver. 3. Accessing the home page of the digital receiver. Refer to §9.3 for detailed description about things you can do by using the web service of the digital receiver. 9.1 Configuring the router 87 4. Accessing the FTP Server of the digital receiver. NOTE The web server and FTP server of the digital receiver do not work in standby mode. So it must be powered up at all times if you wish to use the web service at any time. 9.1 Configuring the router In this section, the setup program of WRT54G, which is a router manufactured by Linksys, will be referred to as an example of how to configure the router for network access. NOTE For detailed description about how to set up the router, refer to the manual of your router. 9.1.1 To access within the local area network Once your router is powered up, a local area network gets created whether or not it is connected to the Internet. You can let the router automatically assign a dynamic IP address to the computers or devices connected to the network by enabling the DHCP server of the router. In this case, you can access the digital receiver with the IP address which is assigned to the digital receiver by the router. If the digital receiver reboots, a new dynamic IP address will be assigned to it. You had better assign a static IP address to the digital receiver to avoid this inconvenience. As to how to assign a static IP address, refer to the manual of your router; 9 88 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet as to how to specify a static IP address on the digital receiver, see §9.2. 9.1.2 To access over the Internet When you are away from home, you can access the digital receiver inside your home if your router is configured to route access to the digital receiver by means of port forwarding. Via this feature, your router will lead you to the digital receiver when you access your router with its IP address. Your router may be assigned to a dynamic IP address by an Internet service provider. So if the router has rebooted, you cannot access it unless someone in your home can inform you of the changed IP address. However, many routers support Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) service, which can settle this problem. The following image is an example of one such DDNS service provider. 9.2 Configuring the network setting on the digital receiver 89 If you use a DDNS service, you can access your router with a domain name. The instructions on how to use the DDNS service are as follows: 1. Make an account on a web site providing DDNS service, which should be supported by your router. 2. Configure your router with the account so that it can communicate with the web site. Whenever a new dynamic IP address is assigned to the router, it will inform the DDNS service provider of the new IP address. This makes it possible that you access the router with a domain name at any time. 9.2 Configuring the network setting on the digital receiver You should configure the LAN settings to enable the web service and FTP service. Select the Installation > Network Setting > IP Setting menu. 9 90 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet You may get the digital receiver to be assigned a dynamic IP address. If so, set the Connection Type option to DHCP. You can view the dynamic IP address assigned to the digital receiver by your router at the IP Setting menu. Sometimes when the digital receiver is restarted, the dynamic IP address will be changed and you will have to check it at the IP Setting menu to access the digital receiver. To avoid this cumbersome thing, you had better assign a static IP address rather than dynamic one. To assign a static IP address, set the Connection Type option to Static, then the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS options become enabled. You have to set these options to match with the configuration of your router. 9.3 Accessing the web server To Access to the web server, set the Installation > Network Setting > Web Server option to Enable. Select the Installation > Network Setting > User Info menu. At this time, you have to enter Personal Identification Number (PIN). Then set the User ID and Password options as you desire. And select OK to save the settings. When you access to the web server, you will be asked for the account that was made with these options. In way of the web server of the digital receiver, you can do the following: • Download recording files. • Create new recording timers. • View information about the programme currently being recorded. • View the system information of the digital receiver. To access the digital receiver’s home page through your web browser, enter its IP address, or domain name if you use a 9.3 Accessing the web server 91 DDNS service. For the DDNS service, refer to the user manual of your router. You cannot only download but also upload recording files or MP3 files in the File Management page. However, if you wish to download or upload a file of which size is 2 gigabyte or more, it is recommended using the FTP server rather than the web server. 9 92 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet NOTE The maximum number of user connections is one. This means that you cannot access the web server while someone else is occupying it. 9.4 Accessing the FTP server To Access to the FTP server, set the Installation > Network Setting > FTP Server option to Enable. Select the Installation > Network Setting > User Info menu. At this time, you have to enter Personal Identification Number (PIN). Then set the User ID and Password options as you desire. And select OK to save the settings. When you access to the FTP server, you will be asked for the account that was made with these options. NOTE You can access the FTP server with an anonymous account. 9.4 Accessing the FTP server 93 However, with an anonymous account you can only download files. You cannot upload files. You need an FTP client program to access the FTP server of the digital receiver. You can log into the FTP server with the user name and password specified in the Installation > Network Setting > User Info menu. 9 94 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet NOTE The maximum number of user connections is one. This means that you cannot access the FTP server while someone else is occupying it. 95 Chapter 10 Topfield Application Program If you are good at programming with C/C++ language, you may make an executable program to run on the digital receiver. We call user-made programs TopfieldApplication Programs (TAP). For TAPs writers, Topfield provides two versions of gcc compilier and TAP API (Application Program Interface) libraries that are available from Topfield’s website, http: //www.i-topfield.com/eng/ download/utility_list.asp. One is Linux version, and the other is Cygwin version. Cygwin is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. Your TAPs will be run with the following conditions: • A TAP’s file extension must be tap; if it has any other extension name, it will be ignored. 10 96 Topfield Application Program • TAPs must be situated in the Program Files folder; if they are placed in any other folder, they will be ignored. As to how to transfer your TAPs to the digital receiver, refer to §8.1 or Chapter 9. To run a TAP in the digital receiver, take the following steps: 1. Press the button and then the play the program files list. or button to dis- 2. Place the highlight bar on a program file you want to run, and press the OK button to start it up. 3. If it is a running-in-the-background program, its entry in the list gets marked in green when it starts. You may have several programs run in the background at a time. 4. To stop a program running in the background, place the highlight bar on its entry in the list, and press the OK button; otherwise you can stop it with the EXIT button. The figure on the left is a screenshot of ScreenCapture.tap, with which you can capture screen in bmp format from the digital receiver. Not only this TAP but a lot of sample TAPs are available in the TAP API. By the way, the digital receiver will not show the list of the screenshots saved by the ScreenCapture.tap because bmp files are supposed to be ignored by the digital receiver. So, to view the screenshots, you need to transfer them to your computer via FTP. If you want to have a program automatically run when the digital receiver starts up, then move the program file to the Au- 97 toStart folder. If you want to abort the execution of it, press the 0 button at start-up. 10 98 Firmware Update Chapter 11 Firmware Update The digital receiver has a stable and convenient firmware to use.
