INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Personal Video Recorder (PVR).

This PVR is fully compliant with the international DVB standard and thus transmits digital images, sounds, information guides and teletext directly to your TV through the satellite broadcasting.

Now you can comfortably see and receive digitally transmitted music, news, movie and sports satellite broadcasts in your office or at your home. The PVR records and plays back satellite broadcasts. You can enjoy interesting games embedded in PVR.

In the Channel Search section, both the automatic channel search method and the manual search mode are provided. Also it supports DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and

USALS(DiSEqC 1.3), enabling you to move your antenna in order to focus preferred satellite. You can save up to 5000 TV and Radio channels and work around with the

Favorite, Lock, Delete, Move and Sort functions.

The menu is very modern and supports multiple languages. All functions can be carried out using the remote control and some of the functions can also be carried out using the front panel. The PVR is easy to use and adaptable for future advances. Please be aware that new software may change the functions of the PVR.

INSTALLATION (Connection)

INSTALLATION (Connection)

First, connect both the satellite antenna and the TV to the PVR. z

There are some of the most common ways to connect the equipment in this manual. z

There are several ways of connecting the PVR to the existing Audio/TV system.

We recommend one of the following setups. z

If you have problems with your connections and need help, contact your dealer or service provider.

Connection to TV, VCR and Hi-Fi

1) Connection to the TV with the SCART Cable.

Connect one end of the SCART cable to the

TV SCART socket on the PVR and the other end to a SCART socket on the TV.

2) Connection to the VCR with a SCART Cable.

Connect one end of the SCART cable to the

VCR SCART socket on the PVR and the other end to a SCART socket on the VCR.

3) Connection to the TV with the CINCH Cable.

Connect one end (3 connectors) of the

CINCH cable to the AUDIO-RIGHT (red),

AUDIO-LEFT (white) and the VIDEO output

(yellow) socket on the PVR.

Connect the other end (3 connectors) to the

AUDIO-RIGHT (red), AUDIO-LEFT(white) and the VIDEO input (yellow) socket on the

TV or Hi-Fi.

INSTALLATION (Connection)

4) Connection to the TV using the RF cable.

Connect a terrestrial antenna to RF IN socket on the PVR.

Connect one end of the RF cable to the RF OUT socket on the PVR.

Connect the other end to the ANT IN socket on the TV.

5) Connection to the TV using the S-VIDEO.

Connect one end of the S-VIDEO cable to the S-

VIDEO socket on the PVR and the other end to a

S-VIDEO socket on the TV.

Connection to the Antenna.

We recommend one of the following installation diagrams because of the LNB specifications for selecting RF signal band by DC voltage and 22Khz tone.

If the PVR is installed with separated connection type, there is no restriction for zapping while recording.

1) Installing the PVR with two separated Antennas.

The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Separated.

INSTALLATION (Connection)

2) Installing the PVR with one Antenna.

The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Loop Through.

Tuner 1 and 2 can receive the RF signal of the same polarity and the same band.

3) Installing the PVR with Twin LNB Antenna.

The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Separated.

4) Installing the PVR with two separated Twin

LNB Antennas and DiSEqC switches.

The Connection Type in LNB setting menu should be set to Separated.

Connection to the other Satellite Receiver.

Connect the satellite antenna cable to the LNB IN socket on the PVR. With other connector, connect the IF OUT socket on the PVR and the LNB IN socket of the other PVR or STB.

* Remarks

LNB power will not be bypassed from IF OUT to

LNB IN. Only IF signal will be bypassed to IF OUT from LNB IN.
