PVR FUNCTION:

BATTERIES

Batteries are required to operate the remote control (supplied with the unit). To insert the batteries, open the battery compartment cover on the rear of the remote control. Insert the batteries (AAA size, 2 × 1.5V ), by matching the (+) and (-) markings on the batteries to the markings inside the battery compartment. Replace the compartment cover.

NOTES

• Spent batteries should not be discarded in your domestic refuse. In most countries, you are legally obliged to ensure spent batteries are properly recycled. They can be disposed of either in special bins provided in your community, or may be returned to any retailer who sells batteries.

Use the batteries correctly to avoid possible leakage and corrosion. Do not touch the liquid with bare hands, should leakage occur.

Do not use a new battery with an old battery, or batteries of different manufacturers.

Do not attempt to recharge the supplied batteries.

If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.

If battery leakage occurs, wipe out any liquid inside the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

For best results, point the remote control directly at the receiver while pressing keys

• Do not place the receiver in a location exposed to direct sunlight or bright fluorescent lighting, as this may interfere with the receiver and cause it not to respond to the remote.

Setup

This short instruction explains the most important functions to ensure that you can directly watch television with your new digital receiver. Please note, additional adjustments may be required.

CONNECTING TO THE ANTENNA

Note: Do not connect the digital receiver to the main power yet.

CONNECT THE LNB (LOW NOISE BLOCK) TO THE DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER INPUT

Connect the LNB on the satellite dish antenna directly to the digital receiver using the "LNB in" connector of the Tuner, by means of a coaxial cable. You may use the loop-through connector to connect to a second receiver.

CONNECTION TO THE TV SET

The digital receiver and TV set can be connected by means of a SCART cable (supplied), HDMI cable (supplied), Component Video cables (not supplied) or Composite Video (Yellow) and Stereo Left/Right Audio cable (Red+White).

Simply connect the two ends of the cable you select to use in connecting the receiver to the TV set. The SCART connection ensures that audio and video signals are transmitted to the TV set in optimum quality.

In case your TV set is equipped only with a CVBS input socket, you can use the CVBS output on the digital receiver and connect your TV set via cable to provide optimum quality of the video signal. To provide audio signal to the TV set it is necessary to connect the Audio L/R output on the digital receiver to the audio input on your TV set.

The HDMI connection is recommended for Digital TV. In case the TV has a HDMI input connector, a special all-digital interface that provides the highest picture quality, connect the product to the TV with the HDMI cable.

The Component Video connection is also recommended for Digital TV. Connect the receiver to the TV with the Component cable as shown in the diagram.

CONNECTION TO A DVD OR VIDEO REORDER

Just as the TV set, the DVD or video recorder is connected to the receiver via a SCART connection. Use the VCR SCART socket for this purpose.

CONNECTION TO A HI-FI SYSTEM

The audio quality of digital TV and radio programmes can be enjoyed even more when reproduced through a hi-fi audio system. To do this, use a RCA cinch stereo cable to connect the sockets marked Audio L/R on the receiver to one of the inputs of your hi-fi system marked either Line, Aux or Extra.

If your hi-fi system is equipped with a digital audio input, you may use a digital RCA cinch cable to connect the electrical (Coax) digital audio output of your receiver (socket DIGITAL AUDIO COAX) to your hi-fi or Dolby Digital system. The receiver is also equipped with an optical digital output. If your hi-fi system is equipped with an optical audio input, you may use an optical cable to connect your hi-fi system to your digital receiver.

CONNECTION TO MAIN POWER SUPPLY

After all the connections are done you can connect your digital receiver to power. Just before plugging a power cable into the wall connector put the power switch, on the rear panel, in position 0 (off).

CONNECTION DIAGRAM

The Installation Wizard

The first time you turn on the receiver, a "Quick Start Guide" menu will be open to assist you with the initial settings. This menu will also appear after you do a Factory Reset.

summer times begins and ends at 1:00 am universal time (Greenwich mean time)
it begins the last Sunday in March
it ends the last Sunday in October.

This is done in disregard of DVB broadcasted information.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

Use this option to reset the receiver to default settings. This may be necessary when a large number of settings have accidentally been made incorrectly, for example. As you can see in the picture, there are three kinds of default settings: "Factory defaults", "Settings only" and "Preprogrammed Channel Lists".

Factory Defaults

Press the "OK" key and confirm with the "Green" function key, if you want to reset the unit to the "Factory default" settings.

Note: Using this option will delete all data stored in the channel lists, and favourite lists.

After this, a "Quick Start Guide" menu will be open. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide section of this user manual for further information.

Settings only

Use this option to reset only the user preferences and settings, such as time and date. The channel lists will remain unchanged.

Note: If the menu is not displayed clearly or in black and white, after changing the settings, it is because the Video output mode was changed when you reset the unit to default settings. To correct this problem see chapter Audio/Video Settings.

Preprogrammed Channel Lists

Use this option to reset your TV channel lists to the receiver's preprogrammed default program lists.

SYSTEM INFORMATION

This menu displays information related to the software and hardware version of the receiver as well as the option to update the software. This information may be required if you request service or repair.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Use this option to display the product information, such as the software and hardware version. This information may be required when you call customer service.

Software update

There are three ways to update the software of the digital receiver:

Over The Antenna (OTA), Over The Cable (OTC), and through the USB port. In the next chapters you can find more detailed information about OTA and OTC. From the Settings Menu, select System Information and then Software Update.

SOFTWARE UPDATE VIA ANTENNA (OTA)

If "Auto Upgrades" in the User Preferences is set to "Auto", the receiver will do this all in the background during stand by. At the first start after such an update, the receiver will show you a popup message with the information, that your receiver got a successful update.

During the OTA software update, the unit will first search for the update signal.

During the search, a message box "Software update" will be displayed on the TV screen - this process may take several minutes. To stop this process, press the "Red" function key or "Exit" key. If new software is available, the user will be informed and asked to confirm the download.

The user will be asked to confirm the download two times, to help prevent accidental changes.

During the download, the "OTA" message will be displayed on the TV screen, showing the progress bar. After all data has been received, the receiver will update the current software and automatically restart.

All user preferences and channel lists will remain unchanged.

Note: OTA Updates are broadcasted over ASTRA 19.2E satellite and therefore are not available in all the countries.

SOFTWARE UPDATE VIA SERIAL CABLE (OTC)

In order to update the software using the service port on the rear panel, the user will require a RS232 cable, PC with RS232 connection, and terminal software for the PC, such as HyperTerminal in Windows.

The user must also have the software file, which can be downloaded from the internet at www.ftacom.com.

To update the software using the cable, use the following steps:

1 - Switch the digital receiver off using the main power switch on the rear panel.
2 - Connect the digital receiver to the PC using a RS232 cable.
3 - In the terminal software of the PC, open a communication port with following parameters: 115200bps, 8bit, 1stop bit, no parity and no flow control.
4 - Select the new software file to send to the unit and set the protocol to 1k X modem.
5 - Start sending the file.
6 - Switch on the digital receiver to start the loading procedure.

During the transfer, the receiver will display the message "OTC" with a progress bar. After the file has been received and unpacked, the digital receiver will update the current software and automatic restart. All user preferences and channel lists will remain unchanged.

SOFTWARE UPDATE VIA USB

The software can be updated using a USB mass storage device.

To update the software using a USB mass storage device, you will require the new software file from our website and a USB device, such as a USB hard disk or memory stick.

a) Copy the software bin file to the root folder of the USB mass storage device.
b) Make sure the receiver is switched off.
c) Turn the receiver On while the "+" button is pressed until "On The USB" messaged is displayed on the front panel display
d) Insert the USB mass storage device into the USB slot on the front panel of the receiver.
e) The receiver will automatically copy the new software from the USB device into the receiver.

After the file has been installed and unpacked, the receiver will update the current software and automatically restart. All user preferences and channel lists will remain unchanged.

Caution: Be careful not to interrupt the software installation by removing the USB stick, turning off the receiver, or otherwise interrupting the installation process. If the installation is interrupted by accident, such as by a power failure, the receiver may not boot up afterwards. If so, you can recover normal operation by installing new software using the RS232 connection, or by returning the receiver for service.

Note: Installation of a complete software bundle, including boot loader, will reset all user settings and erase the channel list. The library will remain unchanged.

Media Manager

The Media Manager is where all of the channel lists are organized:

MAIN TV LIST AND MAIN RADIO LIST

You can open the Main TV or Radio list by pressing the OK key or by selecting "Media Manager" from the main menu.

The lists contain all of the TV and Radio programmes found during auto and manual search (see chapter Channel search). In a table, you can see the channel numbers with the names of the programmes. On the right side, there is a small preview screen, and at the bottom you can see all available commands.

FAVOURITE Lists MANAGER

Your receiver allows you to create separate lists of personal favourite programmes. This means that each member of the family, for instance, can create his or her own list of personal favourites, sorted according to their individual preferences. The favourite lists manager is divided into two parts. In the first part, you can add, remove, or rename favourite lists. In the second part you can edit new or already existing favourite lists.

Add, remove and rename favourite list

Selecting "Favourite lists manager" option, a new screen will be open. On this screen you can see the list of already created favourite lists and all available commands.

Edit favourite lists

If you select an existing list, the editor menu will be displayed. From this menu, you can select channels from the main TV list and add them to the favourite list.

Note: It is possible to put TV and radio programmes in the same favourite list.

Set the active list

The digital receiver has minimum three lists: Main TV, Main Radio and My Favorite. You can add additional favorite lists as well. Once you select one of the lists, this list will become the active list that will be used for zapping. To select a list, you can use the TV, Radio, or Fav keys on the remote control.

Program Guide (EPG)

The EPG (Electronic Program Guide) gives you information about current broadcasted programmes as well as the schedule and information for future programmes.

Tip: The message «No data available» means that the data is not provided by the channel, or the data is not yet received.

Note: In order for the EPG to function properly, the time and date must be set correctly.

PROGRAM INFORMATION [NOW/NEXT]

Each time you switch channels (outside of the EPG screen) there is a brief message on the screen, displaying the programme name, current time, starting and end time, title and content of the current programme. In addition, the start and end times, as well as the title of the next programme are displayed.

A few symbols are used to provide more information about the technical details of a programme:

Stream contains more than one audio track or language

Broadcast in Dolby Digital

Additional DVB subtitles

Broadcast in wide-screen

Teletext is provided on this programme

Note: Dolby Digital does not mean the channel is actually broadcasting a programme in 5.1 Surround sound. The channels normally broadcast in Dolby Digital, but most of the time, you will only receive Stereo Sound. Usually, only some special events and movies are broadcast in 5.1. The digital receiver cannot determine the version of Dolby Digital used in the broadcast, such as 2.0 or 5.1. If EPG data is available, it is possible to scroll the time with the "Left" and "Right" navigation keys. The additionally programme information can be displayed by pressing the "Blue" function key. You can select "Add to favourite list" using the "Yellow" function key, to add the current programme to the favourite list. The "Quick Save List" option in "User preferences" menu determines which favourite list will be used by default.

EPG-GRIDVIEW

The EPG list view can be displayed by pressing the Guide key or from Program Guide in the Main menu. The EPG data is provided by the TV broadcast channels. The receiver will display what is available for each channel. However, the receiver can only display what is provided by the broadcast and has no influence on the quality or reliability of the data. While you are watching TV, the data will be loaded and displayed while you using the EPG.

Note: You can change the font size of the of the EPG, to allow more or less information to be displayed on the screen "Menu" + "Settings" + "User preferences."

The receiver is able to display the programs available on the channel currently selected, indicating the current programme as well as all following programs. This allows you to quickly obtain an overview of programs being broadcasted that day, and possibly those of the next several days as well, depending on the availability of the EPG data from the broadcaster.

Use the "Green" function key on the remote control to move 24 hours forward or the "Red" function key to move 24 hours back.

You can use the directional keys "Up" and "Down" to select specific channels and the directional keys "Right" and "Left" to search forward and backwards in the programme schedule.

If you want to set a reminder for a future event on the selected programme, press the "OK" key. Two minutes before the start of the programme, the receiver will display a pop-up message with options to "switch to" or "ignore".

Press the "Record" key to schedule recording of the selected programme. Using the "Yellow" function key you can change the repeat mode of this event directly within the EPG.

If you want to see detailed information of the selected programme just press the "i" key.

EPG - INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL VIEW

The EPG list view can be displayed by pressing the Guide key or from Program Guide in the Main menu.

Press the "Blue" function key on your remote control to toggle between the EPG list view and EPG channel view. The EPG channel view makes it easier to see an overview of programs or an individual channel, e.g. to search for repeats of a movie or to control the timer for a specific channel.

Personal Planner

The Personal Planner shows you a summary of all planned events and events already in progress.

You can enter the Personal planner by pressing the "Menu" key + select "Personal planner" or by pressing the "Personal planner" key on your remote control.

The picture shows the Personal planner interface. In a table, you can see the names of the channel and programme as well as starting date, time and recording mode.

You can press the colored function keys repeatedly to cycle through the different modes available.

Note: While watching a TV programme, you may start a recording at any time by pressing the "Record" key on the remote control. The receiver will start recording immediately. You can stop the recording by pressing the "Exit" key.

Parental lock

Not all TV and radio programmes are suitable for listeners or viewers of all age groups. The digital receiver therefore provides an active parental control (lock) function, allowing you to block specific menu settings or individual channels by means of a four-digit security PIN code (Personal Identification Number). It also makes sense to block menu settings if you want to prevent the receiver from being incorrectly programmed by unauthorised persons. The standard functions such as receiving programmes, EPG, Timer, etc., remain fully functional without a pin having to be entered.

If no pin code is activated (default setting), all receiver functions and operations can be utilised without any restrictions. On the next picture, you can see the Parental lock menu.

SET ACCESS RIGHTS LEVEL

Select Set Access Rights Level and enter the PIN. There is no PIN set by default, so you will be asked to enter the new PIN the first time. Once the PIN is entered, you can set the Access Level accordingly.

1 – Access All. All programmes and menus (except “Set Access Right Level” and “Change Pin Code”) are accessible to all users.
2 - Lock System Settings. This level blocks access to the system "Settings" menu.
3 - Lock System Settings + Channel. This level blocks access to the system "Settings" menu and to all the marked programmes in the lists. You will be required to enter the correct PIN number when the receiver is tuned to a locked channel or menu.

CHANGE PIN CODE

Select this option to set a new PIN code.

Note: In case you forget your pin code, call customer service.

Sleep Timer

You can use the Sleep timer to specify a time (e.g. at night) at which the receiver is to switch to standby mode. This is particularly useful if there is no person available at this time to manually switch the receiver to the standby mode.

Note: When switching to standby mode, the receiver is also able to switch off some TV sets with "Slow Blanking" on the SCART connector.

Conditional access system

If your receiver is equipped with Conditional Access features, such as a CI or CA slot, additional options may be available in the menu, as shown in the picture. Please consult your installer or card provider for information regarding use of your specific card.
