Preparation

This section explains how to set up your Plaza HDR•S to receive freesat channels.

THE SATELLITE DISH

To receive freesat, you must connect your Plaza HDR•S receiver to an appropriate satellite dish, fixed in position and accurately pointed at the 28.2° East satellite position.

For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly recommend that you have your dish installed by a professional. You may be able to use a satellite dish already installed at your home. If you have any questions about the dish, please consult your installer.

CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER

Place your Plaza HDR•S receiver on a firm, level surface close to the television, a mains electricity socket, and the cables from the dish. (See Appendix A – Safety.)

Connect the two cables (or one double cable) from your dish to the LNB IN 1 and LNB IN 2 sockets at the back of the receiver (if the dish cables are fitted with a wall socket inside your home, you will need connecting cables, which you can get from your installer). It does not matter which of the two cables from the dish is connected to which LNB IN socket.

HINT: Each "F-connector" used for the satellite dish cable connections has a central wire that is inserted into the hole in the LNB IN socket while the collar is screwed onto the socket. When screwing on the collar, make sure that the central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to one side.

Turn off your television and connect the HDMI cable supplied between the HDMI socket at the back of your Plaza HDR•S receiver and an HDMI socket on your television. There may be more than one HDMI socket on your television. If you are not sure which to use, check the television's manual.

HINT: If your television has no HDMI socket, then it must be connected to the receiver by SCART cable, and you will not be able to watch freesat channels in High Definition.

Plug the power supply lead into the POWER socket at the back of the receiver and plug the power supply into the mains socket that is turned off.

You may have other equipment, such as a DVD recorder or surround sound system, to connect to the receiver.

A video recorder or DVD recorder may be connected to your Plaza HDR•S receiver to make permanent archive recordings of freesat programmes. You will need to connect a SCART cable between the VCR SCART socket on the back of the receiver and a SCART

socket on the video or DVD recorder. Check the recorder's manual for guidance.

You can listen to the sound from your Plaza HDR+S through a stereo or surround sound system. For digital sound, connect an optical lead from the sound system's S/PDIF socket to the one on the Plaza HDR+S. For analogue sound, connect a suitable lead between the receiver's L and R AUDIO sockets and the L and R audio inputs on the sound system.

SWITCHING ON

Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the Plaza HDR•S remote control by pressing it gently while sliding it off. Insert the two AAA batteries supplied, as shown on the inside of the compartment, and replace the compartment cover.

SWITCHING ON (continued)

Turn on your TV set and choose the HDMI input (see your television's manual for guidance). Switch on the mains socket that the Plaza HDR•S is connected to.

After a few seconds, the receiver's first freesat installation screen shown opposite will appear on the television screen:

HINT: If you do not see this screen on your television, see 'Troubleshooting' on page 44.

TUNING IN

When the first installation screen is displayed, use the button to select between 16:9 Widescreen or the squarer 4:3 Traditional as the screen format of your television. Then press the button or the button to highlight the HDMI Resolution selection box, and use the button to select the correct resolution for your television. You should set the HDMI resolution to the highest that your television can display (see your television's manual). If in doubt, set the resolution to 720p.

Press 🔍 to highlight the "Next" box and then press 🔍 to display the next installation screen. If after doing this you lose the picture on your screen press 🔍 to return to the first installation screen using the default resolution of 720p (supported by all HDTVs)

HINT: Setting the HDMI resolution has no effect on the SCART output.

The signal check screen shows the strength and quality of the freesat signal received from your satellite dish. The receiver scans the signal for a few seconds and reports if the signal lock is successful. If the signal lock shows "Failed", you should check the satellite dish connection at the back of the receiver (switch the receiver off and reconnect the cable if necessary). If that connection is OK, consult your dealer or installer.

When the signal lock shows "Successful", you can continue to tune in the receiver. Press Ⓧ to proceed.

Enter your postcode using the number buttons on the remote control. You do not need to enter a space. Press the button when you have entered your postcode, and then press again to proceed.

HINT: Enter your postcode with the number buttons by pressing the correct button on the remote a number of times to produce the required letter (printed on each button), or number, in the same way as 'texting' with a mobile phone. For example, for an 'S', you would press the 75mm button four times. If you make a mistake, the button deletes the last character entered.

TUNING IN (continued)

Your Plaza HDR-S receiver will take a couple of minutes to automatically find and store the available freesat channels. The number of freesat TV and radio channels found is shown on the screen as the scan proceeds, along with an indication of how far the scan has to go. When the scan is complete, press the button to proceed.

To use the receiver's parental guidance function, hide adult channels, lock online content or lock channels of your choice, you need to create a PIN. Enter your choice of PIN by pressing the required number button (0, 1...9) for each of the four PIN digits, then press Ⓧ to proceed.

The setup completion screen confirms the lock PIN you have set. Press the Ⓧ button and your Plaza HDR•S receiver is now ready for you to watch freesat digital TV.

HINT: When new freesat channels are introduced, your Plaza HDR•5 is automatically updated and you do not need to return.

Everyday Use

This section describes the day-to-day use of your Plaza HDR•S receiver – how to select the channels that you want to watch, view the programme schedules, pause live TV, and record and playback programmes.

TURNING ON THE RECEIVER

When the receiver is in standby the symbol on the front panel is illuminated red. To turn it on, press the button on the remote control or on the front panel of the receiver. The power symbol and ring around it become illuminated blue when the receiver is on.

You can turn off the Plaza HDR•S, so it goes into standby, by pressing the ⏻ button on the remote control or the ⏻ ton on the receiver. The Plaza HDR•S uses less power when in standby.

HINT: You should leave the Plaza HDR•S receiver plugged in with the socket switched on, at all times (except when there is lightening - see Appendix A). When you are not using the receiver, put it in standby by pressing the button on the remote control or the button on the front of the receiver.

HINT: The Plaza HDR•S receiver will automatically switch to standby if it is not used for a long time. This feature can be disabled – see the Advanced Use section of this guide.

CHANGING CHANNELS

Step through the channels by pressing the button on the remote control. Pressing the button will select the next channel in the channel list. Pressing the button will select the previous channel in the list.

If you know the channel's number, you can switch directly to the channel you want by using the number buttons on the remote control. As you enter a channel number, each digit appears at the top left of the screen to show the number button you have pressed. All the freesat channel numbers have three digits and the first channel is 101. The radio stations are stored from channel number 700.

Press the button to switch from the channel you are currently watching to the channel you were watching before.

INTERACTIVE TV SERVICES

Several freesat channels broadcast a range of digital text and interactive services, such as news, weather, games, sports information and video, alongside normal TV. You can use the interactive options by pressing them the red button while watching the TV channel. This will display a menu of the services available.

When you have finished with the interactive services, return to watching normal TV by pressing again or the button.

PAUSING LIVE TV

With the Plaza HDR•S, you can pause live TV to, say, answer the phone, and then later carry on watching from where you left off. You can even rewind a live programme to watch a section again.

While watching live TV, press the million to pause the programme. In the top left corner of the screen the pause symbol appears and the pause counter shows the length of time the programme has been paused – how many minutes your viewing is behind live TV. "Live Pause" is shown in the browsing bar and the progress bar shows both the portion of the programme you have watched (in orange) and the length of paused programme that remains to watch in red.

PAUSING LIVE TV (continued)

Each time that you press the → button, the rewind or fast forward speed increases - to 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x and 64x normal speed. If you press the → button while the programme is paused, it will advance or rewind in slow motion, changing to 1/8x, 1/4x, 1/2x normal speed with each press.

HINT: As well as the pause time, the pause counter at the top left of the screen shows the current playback mode - paused, play, fast forward, etc - and the current speed of rewind or fast forward.

Pressing the 📄 or 📄 buttons skips forwards or backwards through the paused programme. You can set the length of the skip from 10 to 60 seconds in the "Record" section of the Setup menu (see the Advanced Use section). The default is to skip forwards 30 seconds and backwards 10 seconds, which makes it easy to skip adverts. Press 🎯 while watching a paused programme to return to watching live TV.

You can also rewind live TV without first pausing it, by pressing the button and then pressing when you have reached the part of the programme that you want to see again. You can only rewind as far back as the last channel change or to the limit of the live pause length. A thin red line on the progress bar shows how far back you can rewind the programme.

HINT: You can set the limit of the live pause length up to two hours (see the Advanced Use section).

HINT: When you change channel, the continuously stored broadcast is deleted, so you cannot rewind to watch either the old channel or the new channel, before the channel change took place.

RECORDING A PROGRAMME

There are two ways to record a programme to watch later - either record a programme that is on at the time, or set the timer to automatically record a programme later.

To record the programme you are currently watching, press the button. Recording will start immediately and the browsing bar will be displayed with the symbol in the bottom left hand corner. Once a recording has been started, you can change channel to watch another programme and the recording will continue. You can also start to watch a recorded programme before the recording has finished.

You can stop the recording of a programme by pressing the button while the browsing bar is displaying that programme's details (and the symbol). Press or if the bar is not already on-screen.

HINT: The Plaza HDR+S can record a programme from one channel while you are watching another or record programmes on two different channels at the same time. If you try to record a third programme or watch a third channel, the Plaza HDR+S will display a warning and options of the actions you can take (eg to stop recording one of the programmes so you can watch the third channel).

To record a programme that will be broadcast in the future, either highlight the programme in the programme guide or use the browsing bar to display that programme's details, and press the button.

If the programme is part of a series (indicated with Ⓞ symbol in the browsing bar and in the programme guide full summary), you will be given the option of setting the Plaza HDR+S to automatically record future episodes of the series as well - highlight the option you want and press ⚙. Programmes set to series link record display an ⏚ symbol instead of an ⏚ symbol.

RECORDING A PROGRAMME (continued)

If you choose to record a programme in Standard Definition, which is also available in HD (indicated in the browsing bar and in the programme guide with a symbol), you will be given the option to record the HD version instead - highlight the version you want and press ☒

Both the programme guide and browsing bar displays next to any programme set to record just once, and next to any programme set to series link record.

To cancel a scheduled recording, highlight the programme in the programme guide or display that programme's details in the browsing bar, and press the button. You can also cancel a scheduled recording using the library schedule list (see below). 24

HINT: You can set the Plaza HDR•S to record a programme that is not in the programme guide (one that is on a non-freesat channel or far into the future) using the manual recording menu (see the Advanced Use section)

USING THE LIBRARY

You can see a list of recordings scheduled for the future, and programmes already recorded and ready for playback in the library. Open the library by pressing the button (or selecting the library item in the main menu).

The recordings list shows all the recordings currently stored by the Plaza HDRS, listed with the name of the programme, the channel, the date on which the recording was made, and its status – recorded, viewed, or still recording. There may be symbols next to each entry in the list to show:

★ the recording is protected against quick or automatic deletion ● the recording is one of a series R the programme is still being recorded

A series of recordings (with the same title and recorded from the same channel, but at different times or on different days) are grouped together as a single entry in the list, with a label showing the number of episodes within the group. If you highlight a group of recordings and press the group is expanded on a new screen, with each individual episode listed. Press to return to the main list.

The preview window at the top of the screen continues to show the channel you were tuned to before opening the library screen. Above the recordings list is shown the space free for further recordings.

The panel at the top of the screen shows details of the recording highlighted, including the symbols seen in the browsing bar. You can highlight the different recordings listed using the and cttons.

A highlighted recording (or group) may be deleted (press the red button) to make room for new recordings once it has been watched. You can protect a recording (press the ● button) to prevent automatic deletion if the Plaza HDR+S runs out of recording space, or accidental deletion with the red button (as an on-screen confirmation is then required for deletion).

Advanced Use

This section explains how to get the most out of your Plaza HDR•S receiver.

THE LOCK PIN

Some of the Plaza HDR•S menu functions can be locked to avoid accidental changes to the receiver's setup, and you can lock particular channels to prevent other family members, such as children, from watching them.

To use a locked menu function or watch a locked channel, you need to enter the four-digit PIN that you set when you first installed the Plaza HDR•S. You can change the lock PIN, without re-installing the receiver, as explained later in this section.

DISPLAY MODE

Most freesat programmes are broadcast using a widescreen 4:6 format, designed for a widescreen TV. If you watch a widescreen broadcast on a squarer 4:3 television, or a 4:3 broadcast on a widescreen TV, the Plaza HDR-5 provides a choice of how the image is displayed. Pressing the mouse button will take you through the three available options.

If you have set up your receiver for a 16:9 Widescreen TV, the options are:

• Auto - the broadcaster chooses the best display format.
- Widescreen - a 4:3 broadcast is stretched to fill the 16:9 screen. - Pillarbox - a 4:3 broadcast is shown unaltered with black bars on each side.

If you have set up your receiver for a 4:3 Traditional TV, the options are:

• Auto - the broadcaster chooses the best display format.
- Centre Cut-out - a 16:9 broadcast is cropped to show only the centre of the image.
- Letterbox - a 16:9 broadcast is shown unaltered with black bars above and below it.

TV/DTV

If your TV is connected to the Plaza HDR•S's TV SCART socket, pressing the screen button switches the channel displayed on the television between the signal from the aerial (TV) and digital television from freesat (DTV). This button has no effect if your TV is connected to the receiver's HDMI socket.

Appendix A - Safety

POWER

The receiver's external power supply should be plugged into a 230V to 240V AC, 50Hz supply.

CABLES

Make sure all cables are positioned so they are not likely to be walked on, crushed or damaged by things placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the power cable where it goes into the socket and where it comes out of the receiver's external power supply unit. Do not connect or adjust cables to the receiver when it is plugged in.

TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE

Do not use or leave the receiver in a hot, cold or humid (moist) environment. Do not allow the receiver to get wet - from drips or splashes - as this is dangerous. Do not place vases or other water-filled objects on top of the receiver.

VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the receiver's cover are for ventilation. Do not cover or block them as this could lead to the receiver overheating.

CLEANING

Unplug the receiver before you clean it with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

HEAT AND FLAMES

Do not place the receiver near to naked flames or sources of intense heat, such as an electric fire. Make sure that no flames, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the receiver.

LIGHTNING

If there is a storm or lightning, unplug the receiver.

SERVICING

Make sure that anyone who services your receiver is qualified to do so. Do not remove the cover yourself - you could get an electric shock.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

If your receiver needs repairing, make sure the person carrying out the repair uses parts which are specified by us or which have the same specifications as the original part. Other parts may cause a fire, electric shock or other dangers.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Your receiver is supplied with an external 100V - 240V AC, 50Hz power supply that connects by 12V DC plug to the receiver and by UK mains plug adapter to the mains. Always connect the 12V DC plug to the receiver before connecting the mains plug.

If the mains plug breaks or becomes damaged, do not use it. Do not cut or open the adapter, as this will expose you to dangerous high voltages present inside. The adapter is non-serviceable and does not have any replaceable parts inside. If the power supply is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or suitably qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove screws from the receiver or open it as it contains no user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

If you one day find that your receiver or remote control needs replacing, or are of no further use to you, do not throw them out with your household waste. Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations, your local council must provide a suitable recycling centre.

Do not throw batteries in the bin or on a fire. Make sure that you dispose of batteries safely at a local recycling centre. You can also recycle batteries at many supermarkets.
