11. Software Update
In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up-to-date
software. Visit the Humax website to check the latest news and newly released software versions (http://
www.humaxdigital.com). It is recommended that you periodically check for the availability of software
update.
11.1 OTA (Over the Air)
OTA, an abbreviation of Over–the-Air, is a standard for the transmission of software through a broadcast
system. OTA is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However, the
manufacturers reserve the right for deciding the release of the software for their products by beaming
the latest software versions over the air via satellite. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical
regions mainly due to dierent antennas having dierent footprints (area where the signal can be
received). The following factors must be true for the software update via satellite to occur:
1. The equipment has the appropriate loader software.
Caution: Please note that if the normal loader software is not equipped, the product may not be
updated or operate properly after software update.
2. The manufacturer decides to release the software via a designated satellite.
3. The equipment is tuned properly to the same antenna equivalent to that of the manufacturer.
4. The signal strength and quality is high. If severe weather conditions are aecting reception, for
example, the software update should be postponed until signal strength and quality are favourable
again.
Caution:
• Please be careful to keep the power on and the power cord plugged in during software update. If the
power is o during software update, fatal damage may be caused 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 operate.
Note:
• It may take 5~10 minutes to update software.
• Other functions will not activate while software update takes place.
• You cannot schedule programmes during software update.
1. Software update while watching a programme
When new software is detected, you can choose to download the software immediately or save for later. In
case there is no software currently available, select Next and press the OK button to proceed to the next
step.
2. Software update via USB host
Copy the software to the USB memory stick and connect the USB to the receiver. Press the STANDBY
button and turn o the power. To power on, press the STANDBY button while switching on the receiver
to start software update.

sound and picture may temporarily be poor. However, the poor sound and picture quality due to
weather conditions cannot be accepted as a malfunction of product.
• Check that your dish alignment is correct.
• Change the satellite dish for a larger one as this will increase the signal levels received.
• Replace the LNB with a lower noise factor in cases where the noise factor is too high.
• Replace the LNB with a new one in case it is damaged or out of order.
4. No or poor sound
• Check that your AV cable is connected correctly.
• Check the volume levels of your TV set and the product.
• Check if the product or TV is on mute.
• Check audio type or soundtrack option in the AV menu.

12.5 Glossary
1. DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)
A DiSEqC compatible receiver relies on a switching box which detects the 22kHz tone pulsing rapidly
on and o. In this way, a specially designed receiver can control numerous LNBs through a DiSEqC
switching box.
2. Dolby Digital
An encoding system that digitally compresses up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio (left front, centre,
right front, left surround, right surround) into a single Bitstream. A low frequency eect (LFE) channel
is included providing the sound needed for special eects.
3. DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)
Set of standards that dene digital broadcasts using satellite, cable or terrestrial systems.
4. EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)
An electronic equivalent to a printed television listings magazine; it is an application used with
digital set-top boxes and digital television sets to list current and scheduled programs that are or
will be available on each channel, including a short summary or commentary for each program. The
information supplied in the EPG is sent and updated by the channel broadcaster.
5. FEC (Forward Error Correction)
A technique for error control of data transmission.
6. Frequency
The property of a signal measured in cycles per second (=Hz).
7. FTA (Free- To-Air)
An unscrambled broadcaster allowing customers to view channels or services without paying any
subscription.
8. Hi-Fi (High Fidelity)
The characteristics of audio devices that can play back all the audio frequencies a person can detect,
which is the range of 16Hz~20KHz. Sometimes it is used to indicate good quality of audio devices such
as stereo tape recorders.
9. LNB (Low Noise Block)
A device that is mounted on an arm facing your satellite dish, focusing on satellite signals. A LNB
converts signals received from satellite to a lower frequency and sends them to a satellite receiver via
coaxial cable.
10. OSD (On Screen Display)
OSD displays the basic information necessary for the users to congure monitor or TV settings. OSD
information may include brightness, contrast, tuning, RGB adjustment, and screen size and position.
11. OTA (Over the Air)
A standard for the transmission of software for equipment, through a broadcast system. Manufacturers
reserve the right for deciding the release of the software for their products.
12. Polarisation
The direction of the electrical and magnetic elds of a signal. Satellites use both vertical and horizontal
polarisation so a frequency can be used twice.
GB54

13. PID (Packet Identier)
A set of numbers identifying stream packets contained within a single data stream.
14. QPSK (Quaternary Phase Shift Keying)
Digital modulation technique in which the carrier phase can have one of four possible values.
15. RF (Radio Frequency)
Television signals are modulated onto RF signals and are then demodulated by your television’s or
STB’s tuner.
16. SCART
A 21-pin connector standard to connect two pieces of Audio-Visual equipment such as a TV and a VCR.
Each device will have a 21-pin female connection; a cable with male connection at both ends is used
for connecting the devices.
17. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface format)
A standard format for the transfer of digital audio signals. It allows the transfer of digital audio
between two devices without any conversion to and from analogue, which could degrade the signal
quality.
18. S-Video (Super-Video)
Sometimes referred to as Y/C video; a technology for transmitting video signals via a cable. It is a video
signal transmission in which the luminance (brightness) and the chrominance (colour) signals are
transmitted separately to achieve superior picture clarity.
19. Transponder
A satellite is divided up in parts called transponders. A transponder is one distribution section of the
satellite. Each transponder can be used for distribution of several channels or services.
