Cute9 T2 - Portable DVD Player Ferguson - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL Cute9 T2 Ferguson

Ferguson receivers support recording on external hard disk drives (HDDs) and flash memories (pendrives). In all instances, the correct operation of the recording function depends on the type of connected memory! You must read the following limitations.

REMEMBER:

1. In order to use an external USB memory, the memory must support the USB 2.0 standard. To ensure stable recording and playback, you must use a memory with a recording speed of 9.0 MB/s or greater. Slower hard disk drives and flash memories may not function properly, have problems with recording (image jitter), or not function at all!!!
2. Only disks with one basic NTFS or FAT32 partition (we recommend using the NTFS format) will function properly. If you do not have such a format, prepare the disk on your computer before connecting it to the receiver.
3. Highly fragmented or used memories may also not operate smoothly or correctly.
4. External hard disk drives should be autonomously powered, since the built-in USB port is unable to provide sufficient power.

CAUTION

1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect the USB device from the receiver during recording or playback. Disconnecting during operation may cause damage to the receiver and/or flash memory, and to the recorded data.
2. Do not touch the working device (and in particular the USB connector) with wet hands. Risk of electric shock and permanent damage to the receiver!

All of the functions are displayed on the screen and may be controlled by means of a small number of keys. Common functions have been connected in one "MENU". The selected function is coloured. Depending on the selected option, various "function keys" are displayed: red, yellow, green, blue and white in the form of graphics and descriptions. The colours represent various functions in individual "Menus". The selected function is activated by pressing a key on the remote control unit. The so-called function keys are active only when in the appropriate field there is information about it. The user interface makes it possible to navigate within a menu and between functions in a number of different ways. Certain buttons on the remote control allow direct access to functions. The buttons are multi-functional, i.e. their functions depend on previously activated elements.

6.1 Connecting an aerial

In order to check the correctness of connection of external equipment, for example a terrestrial antenna, read the installation manual or hire a professional technician!

Good reception is conditional on the precise placement of the antenna. Even the best antenna will cause reception problems if it is incorrectly adjusted. Even slight placement errors may render reception impossible or considerably impair image/sound quality. Before installation make sure that the location is suitable. The proper direction may be initially determined by making a comparison with other antennas. There should be no objects directly in front of the antenna, for these may block the signal from reaching the bowl! Once you select an optimal location for the antenna, fix and adjust it initially, and then proceed to a precise adjustment. Each antenna is fitted with regulating screws that make it possible to correct its vertical and horizontal placement.

Adjusting is somewhat more difficult in the case of digital tuners. You cannot perform adjustments on the basis of the image, because this appears with a certain delay. What is more, the indicators available in the settings menu also act with a delay, and therefore adjustment may take considerable time and be very imprecise. An antenna signal meter will be indispensable for setting up the antenna. The meter must be connected to the antenna cable between the antenna and the receiver. We strongly recommend hiring a professional technician!

6.2 Auto search

Switch to DVB-T2 mode – press SOURCE and then select "DVB-T2 HDplay" from the menu. Press SETUP. Go to "Channel Search" and select "Auto search". In this menu, you can search for channels automatically - the receiver searches only frequency by frequency according to the saved list of DVB-T2. This list can not be edited in a separate menu.

6.3 Recordings

Switch to DVB-T2 mode – press SOURCE and then select "DVB-T2 HDplay" from the menu. To view recordings press SETUP. Go to "USB" then "Multimedia" and select "PVR". This tab is used to play back recordings made using the receiver.

7. HD Media Player

The receiver is equipped with a simple multimedia player (SDplayer) and more advanced player (HDplayer). You can use it to listen to music, watch photographs and films for example mkv or avi from USB memory.

SDplayer has limited capabilities. It can play only selected formats. Resolution is limited to PAL (SD resolution).

HDplayer has more multimedia capabilities. It can play multimedia files up to 1080p (HD resolution).

Switch to HDplayer mode – press SOURCE and then select "DVB-T2 HDplay" from the menu. Go to "USB" then "Multimedia" and select "Movie" or "Photo" or "Music".

There are a few additional functions that can be operated by means of the functional keys described in the lower part of the screen.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

DVB-T2 the Digital Video Broadcasting standard that defines modulation and e correction in terrestrial transmissions. MPEG-2 is used as the transport stream.

EPG - Electronic Programme Guide - service that displays detailed information about current and future programmes on the television screen.

FTA - Free-to-air - uuencoded radio an television channels that may be received on any television set.

STB - Set-top box - an electronic device connected to the television set, which processes the signal received from the ground-based, cable or network satellite antenna. It enables the playback of video and sound.

HD (High Definition) - Used to describe video content that is in one of the high definition video formats. These are broad 720i/p and 1080i/p. The 720 or 1080 refers to the number of horizontal lines used to define the picture and the "i" and "p" refer to "interlaced" or "progressive scan". Ordinary "SD / Standard Definition" TV used 576 lines (PAL standard).

Full-HD - HD television standard for 108 quality video, with 1080 horizontal lines.

HD Ready - HD television standard for 720p quality video, with 720 horizontal lines.

Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and (horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of widescreens is 16:9.

JPEG: A very common digital still picture format. A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

XviD: MPEG-4 based video compression technology, that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the internet, while maintaining high visual quality.

H.264: is a next-generation video compression format. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 AVC. Developed for use in high definition systems such as HDTV, Blu-ray as well as low resolution portable devices, H.264 offers better quality at lower file sizes than both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 ASP (DivX or XviD). H.264 is sometimes referred (erroneously) as x264 - x264 is the name of a popular freeware encoder for the H.264 format. H.264 is also sometimes referred to as MP4, again this is technically incorrect. MP4 is a container format much like AVI or MKV and it can be used to "house" many different types of compression codecs, not just H.264.

Container. The multimedia container file is used to identify and interleave different data types. Simpler container formats can contain different types of audio codecs, while more advanced container formats can support multiple audio and video streams, subtitles, chapter-information, and meta-data (tags) — along with the synchronization information needed to play back the various streams together. There are many container formats, such as AVI, Matroska (MKV), MOV, MP4, OGM, WAV, etc.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

S/PDIF - Format for carrying audio digitally over either optical (TOSLINK) or electrical (Coaxial) cable. Can carry high quality DTS or Dolby Digital audio.
