Safety First

Removing the decoder’s
cover may lead to a severe &
potentially fatal electric shock.

This digital decoder has been manufactured to
meet international safety standards. However,
safety precautions must be followed to ensure
the safe and reliable operation of the decoder.

Please take note of the following guidelines to
avoid the risk of an electric shock.

This decoder operates with an external
power supply in the range of 100 to 240V
AC, 50/60 Hz. Use a standard AC wall out­let; a DC power source cannot be used. Re­member that contact with a 110-240 Volt
AC power supply can be lethal.

Ensure that all electrical connections are
properly made before connecting the de­coder to the power supply (the mains). Al­ways unplug the decoder (from the mains)
before connecting or disconnecting any
cables.

Whenever you connect the decoder to the
power supply (the mains), always connect
the power lead to the power input connec­tor on the back panel of the decoder before
you connect the power brick to the wall
socket (outlet).

Whenever you disconnect the decoder
from the power supply, always remove the
power brick from the wall socket (outlet)

before you remove the other end of the
lead from the power input connector on
the back panel of the decoder.

Never attempt to repair or reconstruct the
decoder yourself. A serious electric shock
may occur if this decoder is repaired, disas­sembled or reconstructed by an unauthor­ized person.

Be extremely careful if this unit comes into
contact with water. Immediately disconnect
the power brick if possible.

DO

If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the



decoder and have it checked by a qualified
technician.

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent in-



ternal heat build-up. Do not place the unit
next to a radiator or any heat source and
make sure that the air vents are not cov­ered.

DO NOT

Do not expose the decoder to extreme tem-



peratures, direct sunlight or high humidity.

Do not place any objects on top of the de-



coder which restrict air circulation.

Do not place the decoder on fabric furni-



shings, carpets or other flammable materials.

Maintenance

If you wish to clean your decoder, first unplug it from the mains. To clean the decoder, use a soft,
dry cloth. For very dirty surfaces, dip a soft cloth in a weak soap-and-water solution and wring
well. After cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or a chemically treated cloth to clean this unit. Such chemicals may
damage the unit’s finishing.

How to Set up Your Decoder

The process described below takes place when the decoder is turned on for the first time and
when the factory settings are being restored.

Welcome Screen

Once you have connected your decoder to the TV and
any other equipment, plug them all to the mains and
turn them on. After several seconds you will see the
Welcome Screen on your TV screen. Afterwards, the
subsequent screens, which are described below, will
appear.

Please note that in the following screens you will have
10 seconds to make a selection. If you don’t press

by that time, the decoder will automatically select the
highlighted item and will move to the next screen.

Welcome Screen

Select Language

The Select Language screen allows you to select the
language in which all the menus and messages will be
displayed on the TV screen. In the Select Language

window, press / to highlight the on-

screen language, and then press to make a selec-

tion. Once you have selected the language, the Confir-

mation screen will appear. Press to confirm your

choice of the on-screen language or press to return
to the Select Language screen.

The language selected in this window is also automati­cally assigned as the language of Primary Audio, Primary
Subtitles and Teletext Language. Please note that you
can also change the on-screen language in the Language Options screen (Main Menu – Your
Preferences).

Select Language

Channel Numbering Method

In the Select Channel Numbering Method screen, you
can choose the way channels will be numbered.

If you choose Automatic Channel Numbering, the
channels will be organized as the broadcaster ordered
them (usually thematically).

If you choose Normal Channel Numbering, the
channels will be numbered in the order they are found
during the Channel Search process.

12

Channel Numbering Method

1110TH Island

Channel Search

After you have selected a numbering method and pressed

, the channel search will start automatically. When

this procedure is completed, you will be informed about

the total number of channels found. Then, press the
button to tune to the first TV channel.

If the channel searching procedure has not been
completed successfully, a suitable error message will

appear. You can then either press the button to go

back to the Select Language screen or enter the Main

Menu by pressing the button. In the Main Menu
you will be able to access the Installation and Help

submenus.

To adjust the picture quality, you may need to change resolution and the TV Screen Format
settings.

TV Screen Format

When you are setting up a new decoder for the first time,
by default, the deocder sets TV Screen Format to 4:3.
It means that if the screen format of your TV is 4:3, there
is no need to modify TV Screen Format setting in the
decoder’s menu.

Channel Search

However, if the screen format of your TV is 16:9, using
“Point and Select” rule (see page 14), go to the Main
Menu, Installation, Settings, TV Settings and change
the TV Screen Format option to 16:9.

Resolution Change

The resolution settings applies to HDMI connection only.
They will have no effect on SCART output.

Since the terrestrial TV channels received in Italy are
Standard Definition (SD) channels and not High Defini­tion (HD) channels, your i-CAN 1110TH has been preset
in factory to display a video resolution called 576i that
is best adapted. However, some TV sets do not support
this resolution using HDMI connection. If this is the case
of your TV set, it will display a black screen when you
connect it via HDMI to the i-CAN 1110TH. If this happens,
connect your decoder to the TV using a SCART cable
and change the Video Resolution option (Main Menu
– Installation – Settings – TV Settings) to 1080i. Then,
connect the decoder to the TV via the HDMI cable again.
