Chapter 1
Introduction
The T2200 digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus is
able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder or multiplex. To reduce confusion in this manual,
the word service is preferably used than channel as a term
to indicate one television or radio broadcast.
1.1 Features
This digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2,000 television and radio services.
2 Introduction
• Can create lists of your favourite services.
• Can view information about the current television or radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
• You can play back video files of various formats including DivX.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall
socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,
when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not
using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into
a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer
events at any time.
1.2.1 Front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, specific lights and a display to indicate its
status. The following indicates what they mean.

and active mode.

12 Setup
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we recommend you to use the first connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.
1 HDMI connector (HDMI)
2 SCART connector (TV)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting up the digital receiver. See §4.2 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI output
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use an HDMI cable for best results. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television.
To use the SCART output
For best results with a standard television set,
you should use a SCART cable. Plug one end
of the cable into the TV socket on the digital
receiver, and plug the other end into a free
SCART socket on your television.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video by means of the
SCART output.
2.5 Switching on for the first time 13
To make the audio connection
To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television
or audio-video receiver must be able to decode Dolby Digital audio, and you need to
obtain an S/PDIF cable. Plug one end of the
cable into the S/PDIF socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching socket on your audio-video receiver.
2.4.3 Connecting to your video recorder
The digital receiver can also output video through an auxiliary
SCART connector to another device such as a video recorder.
You need to obtain a SCART cable to link the
auxiliary SCART connector. Plug one end
of the cable into the VCR socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the
matching socket on your video recorder or
suchlike.
2.5 Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it into a wall socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on and on the correct video channel so that you will be
able to see the display from the digital receiver.
Before switching on the digital receiver, you should insert batteries into the remote control. Open the battery compartment
by removing the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the
polarity, which is marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Press the button on the top left corner on the remote control. In a little time, you may see a picture displaying a menu.
14 Setup
If you do not see a picture, try pressing the
V.Format button on
the remote control. If after several tries you still get no picture,
check that the television is set to the correct input. If the picture
is good, you can skip to §3.1 to search for available television
and radio services.
CAUTION
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to the remote
control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to replace only with 1.5 V AAA size batteries, and observe the
following precautions.
• Do not mix different types of batteries, or new and old
batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not recharge the old batteries.
• In order to avoid any risk of explosion, observe the polarities indicated inside the battery compartment.
• Do not subject to excessive heat such as the sun and
fire.
• If you are not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for the damage resulting from leaking batteries.
• Batteries, including those which contain no heavy
metals, may not be disposed with other household
wastes. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out the legal regulations
which apply in your area.

Service Search
After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to perform a service search.
NOTE
If there is no service stored, you will be not able to access all
menus. A is another name for a .
3.1 Searching for broadcasting services
To perform service search, select the Installation > Searching
menu. You should see a screen
like the left figure. If you have an
antenna booster, you should set
the Antenna Supply 5V option to
On to supply power to it.
16 Service Search
You should set the Search Mode option to Auto for the first
time after connecting up the digital receiver, then the digital
receiver will search for all available services.
To start service search, move down to the Start Search item,
and press the
OK button. The digital receiver will start to
search for services and display a list of television and radio
services as they are found. It is common for no channels to be
found until quite late in the process. When the scan is complete, you will see a message telling you how many services
have been found. Press the
OK button to save the list.
You may choose to only search for the services of a specific
multiplex’s since more than one service are provided via each
frequency. Set the Search Mode option to Manual, then select
your desired transponder at the Channel option. The number
ranges from 5 to 12 (or D to H) in VHF and 21 to 69 in UHF.
You may need to set the Modulation option to match to that of
your desired transponder. If the transponder is of the DVB-T2
standard, you should set it to DVB-T2.
It is possible to search single service in a certain multiplex only
if you know the desired service’s audio and video packet identification (PID). Set the Search Mode option to Advanced, then
the PID option becomes enabled. Specify the PIDs of your desired service with the numeric buttons.
To stop at any time or to exit without saving, press the
EXIT
button.
3.2 Resetting to factory settings

Preference Settings
4.1 Language settings
You can select the language in
which the menu will be displayed. In addition to that, you
can select the language of audio
track and of subtitle track. Select
the Settings > Language menu.
You should see a screen like the
left figure.
4.1.1 Menu language
The digital receiver provides menus in several different languages. Set the Menu Language option to your desired language. Once you select a language, the menu will be immediately displayed in the selected language.
4.2 Video and audio settings 19
4.1.2 Subtitle language
Set the Subtitle Language option to your desired language.
When you watch a programme, the subtitle track of the selected language will be displayed if available.
Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with the
button. See §5.2.5 for a detailed description.
4.1.3 Hard of Hearing
Some broadcasters may send a subtitle track dedicated to the
hard-of-hearing. Even when a subtitle track or more is available, that subtitle track will be displayed prior to those you
have specified for the 1st Subtitle Language and the 2nd Sub-
title Language options if the Hard of Hearing option is set to
On.
4.1.4 Audio language
Set the Audio Language option to your desired language.
When you watch a programme, the audio track of the selected
language will be output if available.
Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with the
button. See §5.2.4 for a detailed description.
4.2 Video and audio settings
You have to configure the video
and audio settings appropriately
for your television set and other
devices. Select the Settings >
A/V Output menu. You should
see a screen like the left figure.
20 Preference Settings
4.2.1 High definition television
The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from
576I to 1080P. To enjoy high definition pictures, set the Dis-
play Format option to HD and select a resolution of 720 or more
in the Video Format option. In general, a resolution of 720 or
more is considered high definition. The higher the resolution
is, the better the quality is.
If you set this option to 576I, the digital receiver will present
even high definition programmes in resolution of 576. On the
contrary, if you set it to 1080P, the digital receiver will present
even standard definition programmes in resolution of 1080.
However, if your television set does not support high definition or a certain resolution, you cannot enjoy your high definition quality picture as desired. Therefore, it is recommended
to set it to Auto if you have a high definition television. With
that setting the digital receiver will present a programme as
it is without any resolution conversion. While watching television you can change the resolution with the
V.Format but-
ton. Whenever you press it, the video resolution is changed in
turn.
When you want to watch television via the HDMI output, if
your television cannot handle the video input with High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP), you should set the HDCP option to Off.
NOTE
If your television supports only standard definition, set the
Display Format option to SD, then the pictures will be displayed in a resolution of 576I. In addition, note that you can
view only standard quality videos with the TV SCART output. It ouputs even high definition pictures in CVBS or SVideo format, and outputs standard definition pictures in
CVBS, RGB, or S-Video format.
4.2 Video and audio settings 21
4.2.2 Television aspect ratio
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
You can enjoy both wide-screen programmes and normalscreen programmes with your wide-screen television as the
above figures show. If you have a normal-screen television,
set the TV Aspect Ratio option to 4:3.
4.2.3 Colour format
Through the TV SCART output, the digital receiver is able to
output video in various colour formats. If you have the digital
receiver linked to your television via this output, you should
set the SCART Output option to your desired colour format.
In general, it is known that the RGB colour format provides the
best video quality but the CVBS colour format does the least.
So RGB would be the most desirable option for this.

4.2.5 Audio mode
Basically, there are two audio sources. You can enjoy only one
source or both of them in either stereo or mono. Set the Sound
Mode option as you desire.
Apart from this setting, you can change the sound mode with
the button. See §5.2.4 for a detailed description.
The digital receiver can output two types of digital audio signals via the S/PDIF output. One is an encoded signal, and the
other is a decoded signal. If you have the digital receiver linked
to your audio-video receiver via the S/PDIF output, you have
to set the Dolby Digital (Plus) option to Off, which means that
the digital receiver will output encoded Dolby Digital audio
without decoding so that your audio-video receiver can decode it. Otherwise, set it to On, then the digital receiver will
output decoded Dolby Digital audio, scaling it down to two
channels.
The Dolby Digital Plus is a digital audio coding technology
extended from the original Dolby Digital system. It delivers
up to 7.1 channels of surround sound at higher data rates.
NOTE
Only if the service you are currently watching provides
a Dolby Digital audio track, you can enjoy Dolby Digital
sound.
If you feel that the audio from the S/PDIF output does not
synchronise with video, you can straighten it by adjusting the
value of the S/PDIF Audio Delay option.
Some programmes provide extra special audio track, which
you can activate by setting the Audio Description option to On.

comes enabled.
