Frequently Asked Questions - DSR2010 PHILIPS

How do I insert the smartcard for Premiere channels?

Insert the smartcard with the golden chip facing up into the slot on the front panel. Push it in until approximately 1 cm remains visible. The card is used to descramble Premiere Pay TV channels.

Why is there no picture or sound?

Check that the receiver is not in stand-by (front left LED should be lit green or orange). Ensure SCART cables are properly connected and the TV is on the correct input. Also verify satellite dish alignment and signal strength in the installation menu.

How do I set the correct time for summer/winter?

Go to Advanced Settings > Country & Time Settings. Set Time Offset to GMT+2 for summer and GMT+1 for winter. This manual adjustment is required for seasonal time changes.

Can I record digital TV with this receiver?

Yes, you can set recording timers via the EPG or banner. The receiver controls a VCR or DVD recorder through the Easy Record feature (Prepare Record or Record Link). Connect the VCR to the VCR SCART socket and set the timer on the receiver.

How do I change channels?

Use the P+/P- buttons on the remote or front panel, or enter the channel number directly. You can also open the channel list by pressing OK and navigate with arrow keys. Use the TV/RADIO button to switch between TV and radio modes.

What should I do if the remote control stops working?

First, check batteries and replace if needed (LR6/AA). Ensure you point the remote at the front panel. If interference occurs, you can change the remote setting for the receiver: simultaneously press buttons 1 and 3 for 3 seconds, then enter 4 for alternate or 3 for default. Then change the receiver setting by disconnecting power, reconnecting while holding the front panel Stand-by button until both LEDs blink, then press a remote key.

How do I factory reset the receiver?

Go to Advanced Settings > Default Settings. Press the red colour key to confirm. Note: this will erase all user settings and channel lists, and the receiver will restart the first installation.

Can I watch analogue TV through this receiver?

The receiver itself only processes digital satellite signals. However, if your TV is connected properly, you can press the TV/STB button on the remote to switch between the receiver (digital) and the TV's built-in analogue tuner.

How do I update the software?

Software updates are received over-the-air. When in stand-by, the receiver automatically checks. To manually check, go to Premiere Menu > Software Upgrade or Advanced Settings > Decoder Status > Software Upgrade. Follow on-screen instructions to install available updates.

What does the blinking red LED on stand-by mean?

If the red LED blinks while in stand-by, it indicates a software upgrade is in progress. Do not interrupt the receiver; wait until both LEDs are steady. The upgrade must complete to avoid malfunction.

7.3 Premiere PIN code

Child protection is a high priority at Premiere. By entering your PIN code, you can watch programmes that have been locked for child protection at any time of the day or night - without neglecting the issue of child protection. For a programme to be passed for universal viewing, a certificate is required by law from the FSK (Free Self Control) on behalf of the State Child Protection Authorities. For a locked programme to be broadcast, a 4-digit PIN code has to be entererd.You receive your PIN code together with your Premiere smart card.

Please note that this code is different from you password (also called "system password").

The Premiere PIN code is used to access programmes to which a maturity rating is assigned. Such programmes are systematically locked so as to prevent unsuitable audiences from watching them. When a maturity rating is associated with the current programme, a specific icon appears in the channel banner.

To view a locked programme, enter your Premiere PIN code when prompted.

Note: keep your Premiere PIN code secret to prevent children from using it.

To modify your Premiere PIN code, refer to paragraph 10.1.
