11. Software Upgrade

**

In order to maintain proper performance of this product, it is essential to have the most up-to-date software.
The latest news and release of software versions may be found at the Humax website ­http://www.humaxdigital.com.

It is recommended that you periodically check for the availability of software upgrades.

11.1 OTA (Over the Air)

OTA, an abbreviation of over-the-air , means that downloads the software can be downloaded where the
manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release through Antenna system.

Over the Air (OTA) is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software update can take place by beaming
latest software versions over the air via antenna systems. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical
regions mainly due to different antennas having different footprints(area where the signal can be received).
The software update via satellite system will only occur under the following circumstances.

**

1. The equipment should have appropriate loader software.
Caution: Pleasenote that if you don't have normal loader software, the equipment may not

be updated or work after software update.

2. The manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated antenna system

3. The equipment must be tuned properly to the same antenna that the manufacturer uses.

4. Upgrade software when the quality of receiving signal strength is high. If the weather is not so good

that the quality of receiving signal strength is not recommendable, perform the software upgrade later.

**

Caution:

• Please be careful to keep the power on and the power cord plugged in during software update.

If the power is off during software update, it may cause fatal damage to the product.

• Please be careful not to pull out the signal line (LNB Cable) during software update. Update may be

interrupted and the product may not work.

Note:

• The other functions of product cannot work at all during software update.

• It may take 5 ~10 minutes to update software.

• Scheduling operation cannot work during software update.

**

DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)

A standard through which it is possible to let a DiSEqC compatible receiver send a signal over the RF cable to
a switching device to switch between different LNBs or dishes. The DiSEqC uses the 22KHz signal to control
the switching device.

**

Programme Guide (Electronic Programme Guide, EPG)

A electronic program guide (EPG) that comes with the broadcast to a particular satellite, note that every
station fills the EPG differently or not, so differences in the EPG are not necessarily receiver errors.

**

Frequency

The number of cycles or events per one second, which is expressed in the unit of hertz

**

FTA (Free-To-Air)

An unscrambled broadcast, which you can view without additional payments to a service provider.

**

Hi-Fi (High Fidelity)

The characteristics of audio devices that can play back all the audio frequencies of the human, which is the
range of 16Hz~20KHz, uniformly from the low frequency to high frequency. Sometimes it is used to indicate
good quality of an audio device such as stereo tape recorder.

**

LNB (Low Noise Block)

An electronic unit mounted on the satellite dish. It receives the signals reflected by the dish and converts them
to signals that can be used by this product.

**

OSD (On Screen Display)

The function that displays the information about the monitor that the user needs or has to know on the screen
directly. OSD information includes brightness, contrast, tuning, RGB adjustment, and screen size and
positions (top, left, width, and height), and so on.

**

OTA (Over The Air)

Means that software downloads where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to
release them through satellite system.

**

RF (Radio Frequency)

Frequencies occupied by radio waves of the total frequency range of electromagnetic waves.

**

SCART

A 21-pin connector used for connection of this product, VCR and TV. Also called Euroconnector or Peritel
connector.

**

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface format)

Standard format for digital audio output. It outputs audio signals directly as digital audio signals without
changing into analog signals because conversion into analog signals can degrade signal quality.

**

Transponder

An automatic device that receives amplifies and retransmits a signal on a different frequency.
