Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of this state-of-the-art Digital Television
Recorder (DTR). We hope you will enjoy all the new features this technology
brings to your home for many years. Your DTR is going to revolutionise the
way you watch TV.

You can pause live TV, for example while you answer the phone and then
resume watching where you left o. You can also record two dierent
channels at the same time. Delayed viewing, fast-forward and rewind
functions allow you to play and replay the sports action without having
to worry about the rest of the game which is still being recorded. These
features could make you lose track of time, but fortunately the LIVE TV
button brings you back to the present instantly.

We’re sure that you want to get started. On the following pages are a quick
start guide to help you set the DTR up in just six easy steps. On page 11
there is a guide on Using Your DTR Remote Control. There are detailed
explanations for each step later on in the manual and on page 44 you will
nd the terms and conditions covering your DTR.

If you need any further information about your DTR, or want to see more
information about the programmes currently on Top Up TV, then just visit
topuptv.com

Note: This product can be upgraded from software updates broadcast over
the air to your DTR. Top Up TV reserves the right to transmit software updates
that it would consider appropriate in order to improve the functionality of
the product, without degrading the quality level.

A Unplug the aerial cable from your VCR (or TV) and plug it into the

Aerial In socket of your DTR.

B Using the scart lead, connect the TV SCART socket on your DTR to

the AV1/EXT1/AUX1 scart socket at the back of your TV.

C And lastly, connect the mains lead to the Mains Input socket on your DTR

and switch on at the mains. Reconnect the power to all your existing
equipment and turn your TV on.

When you plug your DTR into the power supply, a red light and the message
PLS WAIT will be displayed. This will be followed by WELCOME TO TOP UP
TV+, the HDD symbol will ash for about 45 seconds. You must wait for the
HDD symbol to stop ashing and the display to go dim before pressing any
buttons.

Step 3 – Your DTR is ready to scan for channels

Press the DTR button on your remote. The button will momentarily ash.

This will conrm that the remote control is working correctly. Now wait for

the light on the front of your DTR to turn from red to green.

Your TV should now automatically

switch to the DTR input and display the

image shown. If this does not happen,

using your TV remote, manually select

the TV SCART input to which you have

connected your DTR. Refer to your TV

handbook if required, but it is likely that

the TV remote button will be labelled

‘AV’ or have this symbol

Once you can see the image on screen displayed here, and have ensured all

connections are correct, press

on your remote control.

Step 4 – Channel Scan

You will see this screen showing that your

DTR is now searching for all available

channels.

In the event that your DTR does not nd

any channels, or has missed some, see the

section on what to do if your Installation

fails, on page 10.

When your DTR has successfully found all channels, your DTR will search for

and install the extended 14 day Programme Guide software. Please note

that when you start to use the extended guide after installation, that this

may take up to 24 hours to fully populate.

Step 5 – Parental Control

You will now be prompted to set up

the Parental Control PIN for your DTR.

For Top Up TV subscribers, this controls

who will have access to the extra

programmes, which are downloaded

automatically to your DTR every night.

The Parental Control PIN will not

control or restrict access to Freeview

programmes (your default PIN is 0000.)

If children have access to your DTR, it is advisable to select the maximum

appropriate viewing certication now, in order to restrict access. E.g. by

selecting 12, you will restrict access to programmes rated 15 or higher.

Once you have completed this step, press on your remote.

For more parental control options please refer to page 28.

Step 6 – Top Up TV Anytime set up

With Top Up TV Anytime you’ll get up to 600 carefully selected programmes

downloaded to your Top Up TV+ DTR every month. That’s up to 150 extra

programmes available at any one time on top of your normal Freeview

channels. You can also upgrade to PictureBox which gives you an additional

30 movies a month or take Setanta Sports, a must-have for sports fans.

Press OK

Using your DTR remote control, now switch to channel 5 and check you are

getting a picture. If you are not getting a picture on channel 5, please refer to the

Troubleshooting section for help.

To activate the extra channels available from Top Up TV, please refer to your

welcome pack and the included viewing card instructions for full details. Once

you have called us to activate your subscription, you will need to leave your DTR

on channel 5 for around 30 minutes. This will ensure that your DTR receives your

subscription activation successfully.

It may take up to 48 hours for your rst Top Up TV Anytime programmes

to appear in your DTR library, but you will be able to watch your Freeview

channels right away.

To ensure the best operation of your DTR, we recommend that you leave

your DTR in STANDBY whenever it is not in use. Note that turning the

power o at the mains will prevent your DTR from receiving Top Up TV

programmes.

If the installation fails, check the points below and try to rescan
for channels again.

Throughout this manual, we will use BOLD text when referring to
remote control button presses, and ITALICtext when referring to a
particular menu level.

You will be using the remote control buttons highlighted and the
coloured buttons, take a moment to nd them now.

Please refer to the inside front cover for a full colour image of your
remote control and its primary functions.

To use these menus, you must rst press the MENU
button which will then display the main menu.

Now choose the item (called a sub menu) that you
want to look at.

You do this by using the UP arrow (r), to move the
yellow box up the list and the DOWN arrow (s) to
move it down the list.

Once you have highlighted your choice with the
yellow box, press the OK button to move to the
new menu level.

If the DTR states that a PIN number is required (Personal
Identication Number), enter this now.

The default number is 0000. You can nd how to change this on
page 28.

As you learn to use the DTR you will nd that the number buttons
can take you directly to sub menus without the need for using the
arrow buttons. e.g. Use 4 for the fourth item (Set-up), 1 for the rst
item (Programme Guide), etc.

In each menu, look at the bottom lines of text for more information
on which buttons to press. This could be arrow buttons (v or w)
or the coloured buttons.

Finally, when you have nished making adjustments, use the BACK
button to return to the TV picture. You may need to press it more
than once, depending on the menu item.

Using the Menus

Using the Programme Guide

Your DTR has access to two programme guides. Initially your DTR will
provide the standard Freeview 7 day Programme Guide, but as soon as
your DTR has acquired the Top Up TV on-screen programming guide, you
will have access to 14 day listings. The Programme Guide screen gives you
a fast way of planning your viewing and recording. To access this guide,
press the GUIDE button.

The guide shows the next three periods of 30 minutes, for each channel. While in the Programme
Guide, you can navigate around using the arrow buttons. UP / DOW N arrows will move between
channels, while the LEFT and RIGHT arrows move in time. The Guide is split into three sections of
30 minutes each. The information contained in a time segment usually shows the name of
the programme. This is only the case when the programme takes up the whole of that 30
minute time slot. As programmes can be longer or shorter than 30 minutes, the Programme
Guide has been constructed to inform you of this.

If a programme is longer than 30 minutes the next time slot shows three dots to indicate that
the programme runs in to the next slot. If a programme is shorter that 30 minutes the programme
name is followed by an arrow to indicate that more than one programme exists in that slot.
If a programme does not start exactly on the time boundary, it will have two dots in front of the
programme name to indicate that it starts later than the time shown in the column heading.

If you leave the highlighter box over a
programme for more than five seconds, a
box will appear showing a synopsis of the
programme. It also shows the start and end
times for that programme in the top right-hand
corner.

Pressing the GREEN button will bring up an overlay box
(pop-up). This is the GO TO DAY menu.

Using the

UP and DOWN arrows you will move the
highlighter to a day in the future. Pressing OK will take
you back to the Programme Guide, but now the guide
is showing programmes on the day you selected. From
here you can set up recordings or reminders.

Favourites

The Favourites feature allows you to create a personalised
guide for the channels you normally like to watch.
Pressing the BLUE button will present the guide with just
your selected favourite channels displayed.

If you have not yet created a Favourites list, you will see
a pop-up as shown. Pressing the RED button will close
the pop-up. Pressing the GREEN button will take you to
the Favourites set-up screen.

Use the

UP and DOWN arrows to highlight a channel
that you would like to make a favourite. Press OK to add
it to your Favourites. Your Favourites are identied by

For more information on planned recordings, please
refer to ‘How to make Recordings’ on page 21.

Top Up TV Anytime

In addition to the standard Freeview channels, your DTR
can also give you access to a wider range of programmes on
Top Up TV Anytime.

By subscribing to Top Up TV Anytime for a small monthly
fee, your DTR will automatically record and download
programmes from channels such as Discovery, UKTV
Gold, Paramount Comedy, MTV, LIVING and more, for
you to watch whenever it suits you.

The extra channels are shown across the bottom of the Programme Guide
screen.

Pressing the Top Up TV button on your remote enables
you to view the list of programmes available to watch
right now. Then you simply use the LEFT and RIGHT
arrow buttons to scroll through and press OK on

Programme Search

The powerful search facility allows for searching the
entire Programme Guide and Programme Library.

Note: To select the search facility use the RED button in
the Guide, to record programmes from the Guide use
the RECORD button.

Use the NUMBERED buttons on your remote control to
enter text. Enter either as much of the channel name or the programme title as you know and a
list of programmes matching your search request will appear allowing you to watch or record the
programmes. For example, entering ‘bbc’ as a channel name will return results for all channels
starting with the text ‘bbc’ (BBC ONE, BBC TWO, BBC THREE, etc.) whereas entering ‘bbc o’ will
return results for BBC ONE.

Note: Buttons 0 and 1 provide punctuation such as spaces and full-stops. If you enter the wrong
character, use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to move the cursor. Use the RED button to delete a
character and GREEN to insert.

To move between the search criterias use the REWIND and
FAST-FORWARD buttons. Use the COLOUR buttons to delete
and insert as indicated on screen. Date and time options are
also selected using the COLOUR buttons. When selecting
the time, the NUMBER buttons can be used to enter the time.
The search results can also be refreshed by pressing the OK
button.

To select a programme
in the search results,
press DOWN and the
cursor will move into
the search results list.
The COLOUR buttons can
then be used to either

watch or record any of the
programmes. The INFO button can be used to display a
synopsis of the programme. The PG+ and PG- buttons can
be used to page through the search results. Use the
COLOUR buttons to return to the search criteria in order
to rene your search.

19

Using your Programme Library

Your Programme Library is where all of your recorded and
Top Up TV Anytime programmes are stored. To access
it, press the

LIBRARY button or Option 2 from the Main

Menu.

Your

Programme Library will be empty at rst, but as
you start to record programmes and Top Up TV Anytime
programmes are downloaded to your DTR, it will ll up. Note
that it will take 7 days from set up for your Top Up TV Anytime
programmes to be fully downloaded.

Your

Programme Library is partitioned into two sections.
The top section shows your recorded programmes, and
any Top Up TV Anytime programmes that you have
saved. You can store recordings here and delete them
once you’ve watched them. To delete a recording, use the
arrow keys to highlight the recording and press the BLUE
button. Note that to manage the space available in both
sections, you need to customise your Top Up TV Anytime
viewing – see page 26 for full details.

The bottom section is where your Top Up TV Anytime
programmes are stored. You will notice that the screen
appears slightly dierent. There are two dierences. The
rst and most important is the Days Left column, and the second is the red

SAVE button.

Days Left

This shows how many days the programme will
remain stored on your DTR before it is automatically
deleted and replaced with new programmes. You
may watch the programme at anytime, but if the
Days Left number reaches zero, you only have a few
hours left before the programme is overwritten.
If you would like to watch the programme, but do not
have time within the time remaining, you can move
the programme to the top section by pressing the RED
button. The programme will now appear in the top
sections of the Programme Library and the Days Left will show Saved. For some programmes,
rights restrictions means we are unfortunately not able to oer the Save feature.

There are a number of functions that are common to both storage areas: If you pause the
highlighter over a programme, that programme will automatically
start playing in the small preview window on the right-hand side
of the screen. If you wish to watch the programme, press the OK
button. If you had previously not nished watching a programme, press the GREEN button
to resume the playback from the last watched point.

You can always access the Top Up TV programmes by pressing the Top Up TV button.

Using Your DTR

20

Folders

Programmes on y our DTR are automatically placed
in folders to help organise your library and make
them easy to nd later. Each recording can reside in
more than one folder, the ALL category and typically
one other genre folder, for example, Movies, Sport,
Kids etc. To move between folders use the LEFT and
RIGHT arrow buttons. To highlight a programme use
the UP and DOWN buttons. To view the programme,
press the OK button.

Synopsis

With the highlighter over a recording, pressing the INFO button will pop-up a small window
with a brief summary of the contents of that given programme. Press INFO again to exit
synopsis.

Delete

With the highlighter over a recording, press the BLUE button. You will see a conrmation pop-up to

conrm that you wish to delete the programme or exit without deleting.

Icons

There are two icons used to assist you in managing your Programme Library.

The P at the end of the programme name eld is used to indicate that a programme has been
watched.

The at the end of the programme name eld is used to indicate that a programme is currently
playing.

Pop-ups

Finally, you need to be aware of a few pop-ups that may
appear to help you with your selections.

Depending upon the way you have set-up your DTR, or
if you have not set-up enough storage space on your
DTR or you have simply run out of space, your DTR will
prompt you that there is not enough space to store
your selection. If this happens, you will need to delete
some of your recordings if you wish to save additional
programmes.

Also, a similar pop-up may appear if you are saving a programme that will limit the
storage space for any future recording. In this instance you may save this programme,
but you should also go to the Planned Recordings menu to make sure you have enough
space and if necessary delete old recordings.

21

How to make Recordings

Your DTR will allow you to customise the way your record a programme.

In this section, we will show you just what options are available
to you. Typically you will have pressed the button in the
Programme Guide which will have automatically
taken you to this screen, but you may also wish to set
a recording manually. If you have arrived at this screen
via the Programme Guide, simply press the button
to accept the default settings and your recording
will be added to the list and completed without further interaction.
If you wish to set-up a manual recording via the Planned
Recordings menu, you will typically be presented with a
virtually blank screen as shown. Press the GREEN button to
continue and you will be prompted to enter the channel,
date, start and stop times. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow
buttons to amend the detail of the selections, and the UP
and DOWN arrow buttons to move between the settings.
Finally press the button to add the event to your Planned
Recordings list.

Instant record

If while watching a programme you decide you wish to record it, press the button on your
remote control and hold for 3 seconds. Y our DTR will automatically record the programme
to the end of the scheduled time and add any of that programme that exists in your review
buer.

Editing an event

There may be an occasion where you wish to adjust the recording (event) that you are setting.
This DTR allows you to change both the start time (TIME) and the duration of a recording.
Entering a recording from the Programme Guide or manually from the Planned Recordings
menu, the highlighter will be positioned over the PROGRAMME eld. Press the RIGHT arrow
button to move the highlighter over the TIME eld. Use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to
increase or decrease the start time. You can also move the highlighter to the DURATION eld
again with the RIGHT arrow and use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease
the recording duration. Once satised with your adjustments, press the button to add
this recording to the list.

Why edit an event?

There may be occasions where multiple recordings overlap and your DTR will warn you that two
recordings collide. You may know that the programme you wish to record has moved due to an
over-run of a previous programme. Or simply, you know that the part of the programme you
are interested in starts later than the actual programme start time; f or example, a football
match. Editing the timing will allow you to record programmes that would otherwise conict
with each other and save space on your DTR for future recordings.

Your DTR is also capable of automatically adding time to a recording to guard against programme
over-run. Please refer to page 27 for more information on Guard Times.

Using Your DTR

22

Space for recordings

When you add a recording to the Planned Recordings, your DTR will
check to see if there is enough space to complete all the scheduled
recordings. If there is a risk that there is not enough space, you will
see this pop-up. You have the option to cancel the recording or
continue with the event. If you continue with the recording, you
should go to the Programme Library menu and try to clear space by
deleting programmes that you have already watched and no longer wish to keep. If you do
not make space, you may lose the end of your recording or fail to be able to record further
programmes.

Simultaneous recordings

Your DTR has two tuners which means that it is capable of
recording two dierent programmes at the same time. In the
event that you try to record more than two programmes at the
same time, your DTR will alert you to this overlap with the pop-up

Make a note of this overlap and go back to the Planned Recordings
main menu. Find the programmes that overlap and look to see
if you can manually change the start times or durations of the
overlapping events to resolve the conict. This will still enable you to record the programmes
you wish and not miss anything of signicance.

Series link

Some programmes are broadcast with special tags that indicate
that the programme is part of a series. If while setting a recording
your DTR detects this tag, it will advise you with this pop-up. You
now have three options; cancel the recording (RED button), record
all programmes with that ‘Series link tag’ (GREEN button) or just that specic programme and
remove the Series link (YELLOW) button. When you go back to the Programme Guide, you
will see that a series link icon has been added to the programme name. It looks like this

Recording while Top Up TV Anytime programmes are
updating

If you have subscribed to Top Up TV Anytime, whilst automatic
Top Up TV Anytime updates are being recorded (usually at
night), your DTR will be using both tuners to record programmes
into your Top Up TV Library. If you also want to record another
programme at the same time, you may see this screen. Your DTR will tell you which Top Up
TV Anytime programmes will be aected, allowing you to choose which recording is more
important to you and which recording(s) should not to be made.

Additional DTR Functions

Tuner swap

Your DTR has two tuners which means it can receive two dierent channels at the same time.
You can switch between these two channels by pressing 0 on your remote control. If that
channel is paused, it will automatically switch to play to allow you to watch the programme.
Furthermore, if you are watching a recorded programme, your DTR will pause that
programme and switch to the programme currently being received by one of the tuners.
Pressing 0 again will switch to the other tuner and pressing 0 again will return you to your
recorded programme and resume playback.

Watch whilst recording

This is the ability to view a programme that is currently being recorded as part of a scheduled
record or an instant record process. There are two ways to view a programme while it is being
recorded. From Planned Recordings highlight the programme you wish to watch and press
the RED button on your remote control. This will start the programme from the beginning.
You can also change channels to the one that is recording your programme and use trick
modes such as REWIND to move back through the recording to your desired point.

Pause, rewind & fast forward

These are functions that enable you to move forward or
rewind through a recording. There a nine incremental
speeds for both forward and rewind, these are
x1/4 , x1/2, x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32 & x64.

Note: That quarter and half speed modes are only accessed from Pause mode. To enter
Pause mode, press the PAUSE button on your remote control.

Note: USB port on the product shall not be functional until this feature is available with
software update over air download.

Using Your DTR

24

Setting Up

From the MAIN MENU, press 4 or select Set-Up.

Use the

UP and DOWN buttons to highlight the sub-menu you wish to enter and press the OK

button, or press the number button that is associated with the sub-menu.

If you have trouble scanning for channels or with any aspect of the installation, refer to page 10
for more information or check the Troubleshooting guide in this manual.

Scan for Channels

You will have performed this option
automatically as part of the installation process,
but if for any reason you wish to re-scan for new
channels (if you have moved or have a new aerial
for example), make sure that all the connections
to your DTR are connected correctly. Press the
GREEN button to start the automatic search for
available channels.

Once the scan has started you can cancel it by
pressing the RED button.

You can monitor the progress of the search as your DTR rst searches for digital broadcast
frequencies and then for specic programmes on those frequencies. Finally your DTR will
attempt to acquire the Top Up TV Anytime service.

When the scan is complete, the text at the bottom of the screen will say ‘Scan complete’ and the
GREEN button will re-appear to enable you to re-scan if required. To exit this menu option, press
the BACK button.

25

Throughout the set-up menus, we will list the available settings within an option. Please
note that the DTR factory default will be UNDERLINED. If at anytime your are not sure what
setting to make, refer to the relevant page and look for the setting that is underlined.

Customise your DTR

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select an
option and use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to

cycle around the available settings.

TV Picture format
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose

from 4:3 Letterbox (black bars top and bottom), 4:3
Centre Cut-Out (full screen, but lost picture on left
and right), 4:3 Full Frame (if your 4:3 TV supports 16:9
switching, check your TV manual) or 16:9 Widescreen
(for widescreen TVs).

TV Picture adjust horizontal and TV Picture adjust vertical

Select these options to move the picture generated by the DTR either horizontally or
vertically so it sits centrally on your television screen.

SCART setting
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose from RGB (best picture), S-Video (for

specic TVs) or CVBS for all other types. See your TV manual for the best choice, it usually
depends on which socket you connect to.

Programme search

This option turns on or o the ‘Search’ facility (accessed using the RED key in the Guide) that
provides a search facility across the Programme Guide and recorded programmes. When
enabled the RED key is used to access the Search screen and the WHITE (R) key is used to record
programmes within the Guide. If disabled the RED key is also used to record programmes
within the guide.

Synopsis pop-up delay

This option allows you to either turn o the synopsis window that pops-up over the Guide or video
when a programme is selected, or to change the period that you wait for before it appears.

Plasma blanking

This option allows you to specify a time after which the display automatically dims. This is
important as static images can damage certain screen types.

For both Radio and Plasma blanking the available settings are: OFF, 3, 5, 10, 20 (minutes)

It is strongly recommended that the main TV is connected using the scart lead as this will
provide the best possible pictures. These instructions assume you are connected to the
main TV with a scart lead as shown on page 6.

Customising Top Up TV Anytime

One of the great things about Top Up TV Anytime is
that you don’t have to download all the programmes
available. You can choose to record and download
only those programmes from channels you watch. So
for example, if you don’t have kids, you can save space
on your hard drive by de-selecting the kids channels,
giving you more space to download those you do
want to watch. Customising your channels is easy and
should be done to ensure you maximise the amount of
space you have available for your own recordings. This
menu presents a list of available Top Up TV Anytime
channels. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to
move between columns. Use the UP and DOWN arrows
to move the highlighter over a channel for activation.
Press the RED button to activate the channel.

Note the two times on the bottom of the screen.
The Top Up TV (TUTV) hours per week will change as
you activate or de-activate channels. The available
space left for personal recordings on your DTR’s hard
disk drive (storage space) is shown on the far right.

In some cases there will be insucient free storage space in the Personal Disk Space area
to re-assign for Top Up TV Anytime use. In this case, a pop-up will be displayed as shown
to enable you to remove content from the Record Library. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to
select a programme and then delete it by pressing the RED button. Once you have created
enough space, you can activate the new channel by pressing the GREEN button. To exit this
menu press the YELLOW button.

You may attempt to activate a channel for which you do not have the right level of subscription.
If this occurs, you will be taken to the Subscription screen. Follow the steps on screen to
change your subscription.

Warnings

There are some warnings that may pop-up as a result of some of your selections / actions.

The rst of these may be if you de-activate a Top Up TV Anytime channel. The warning
will inform you that if you de-activate this channel, you will no longer receive any of that
channel’s programmes and will delete any recordings made from that channel.

The second warning you may see is in activating a new channel, you may not have enough space
on your disk drive for planned recordings. The warning will advise you to review your

Planned
Recordings as soon as possible. Please refer to page 20 on how to make space by deleting
unwanted recordings.

27

Recording Preferences

There are two options available to change, the guard
time and the rewind buer size. Use the

UP and DOWN
arrow buttons to move between the two options and the
LEFT and RIGHT arrows to scroll through the available
values for that option.

Recording guard time

A guard time is a small amount of time added to the
start and end of a recording to help protect against programmes starting slightly ahead of
schedule or more typically over-running their scheduled nishing time. There is obviously a
small penalty for this feature which is that you will use up more space for each recording with
a guard time set. The available settings are OFF, 1, 3 or 5 minutes. As you can see the default

setting is

OFF to maximise the available disk space for recordings.

Pause live TV

Your DTR automatically records and buers the channel you are currently watching. The
size of this record buer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the
channel you are watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the
Pause live TV buer size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your hard
disk drive for recording other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it
o to increase the available space for recordings. The available settings are

OFF, 15, 30, 45

or 60 minutes.

If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buer
as is available to a dd to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme

from the start.

Messages

Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores
for your information. For example, your DTR is capable
of having its software upgraded automatically via the
aerial. If you have any messages waiting to be read, a
small envelope icon will appear as shown. To view any
messages, select Messages from the Main Menu or Set-Up
menu. Once you have read your messages, you may
delete them by pressing the RED button.

Setting Up

28

Child Lock

This menu option enables you to set-up Parental
Control levels and to determine the access you and
your family have to programmes. As soon as you
select this option, you will be prompted to enter your
Personal Identication Number (PIN). The default
number for this is 0000. It is highly recommended
that you change this number as soon as possible.
Once you have entered a valid PIN you are given the
option to change the PIN by pressing the RED button
and following the simple steps on-screen.

Maximum Certicate

This sets the maximum certicate value allowed on any viewed content (live or recorded).
If at anytime a user tries to view programmes with a certicate higher than the maximum
certicate allowed, the DTR will blank the screen, mute the audio and pop-up the PIN entry
window. Unless a valid PIN is entered, the programme cannot be viewed. The available
settings are; U, PG, 12, 15, G or 18. Note that the default is 18 which means that there is no
automatic block of any content from being viewed. You should lower this to a level suitable
for the people with access to your DTR.

Note that setting a certicate does not limit the programmes that can be recorded, only what
can be viewed. This allows viewing decisions to be made when the viewer is present. This
may not be foolproof – we rely on broadcasters to rate their programmes appropriately.

Lock Period Start & Lock Period End

This allows the DTR to be locked down during the
START and

END times. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow
buttons to amend the time in 15 minute steps. In
both cases, the default value is OFF.

Lock

Once you have set lock periods, you will have to
activate them by setting Lock on. Likewise, you can
also turn lock periods o with this option.

Channel Lock

This menu allows you to individually lock selected channels. Each time a locked channel is
selected to be watched you will be required to enter your PIN.

Favourites

Setting Favourites enables you to just scroll around the channels that you wish to see
and not the entire list of available channels. This does not preclude you from watching a
channel outside of your Favourites list, simply enter the channel number directly or use the
Programme Guide.

29

To set up your Favourites, use the UP and DOWN
arrows to highlight a channel that you would
like to make a favourite. Press OK to add it to your
Favourites. Your Favourites are identied by a .
You can remove it from your list by pressing the OK
button again. Also use the RED button to select all,
or the GREEN button to delete all. To exit this menu
press the BACK button.

Languages

Preferred audio language

This option sets the Preferred Audio Language
output. In a multi-language broadcast, your DTR will
attempt to acquire your preferred language. If your
preferred language is not available, your DTR will
switch to the default language.

Preferred subtitle language

This has the same action as Preferred Language, but
for Subtitles in place of the audio output itself.

To select an option, use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. To scroll around the possible
languages, use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons. The default Language is English and the
available options are Welsh and Gaelic.

Help

This is a high level information screen that will tell you
basic information about your DTR. If you require further
assistance please call the telephone number shown
on-screen in the Help menu which is option 6 in the
Set-Up menu.

There is also an option to press the RED button for tuning
information. This screen shows the current status of the
two tuners, what channel number they are currently
set to and the Strength & Quality of the signals being
received. You can also change the channel a given tuner
is set to with the coloured buttons; RED & GREEN for Tuner 1 or YELLOW & BLUE for Tuner 2.

Changing the channels that the tuners are set to may result in you losing scheduled
recordings. Please use this screen with care or wait to be advised on how to use this screen
by one of our Customer Care Advisers.

Reception problems

When you purchased your DTR, your dealer should have checked your postcode to ensure
that you can receive digital terrestrial TV. If you wish to check this yourself, please look on
the internet websites:- www.freeview.co.uk or www.digitaluk.co.uk

Once you have established that your area should be able to receive digital terrestrial TV,
there are a few reasons why you may be experiencing problems.

• Your current aerial and cabling may notbeabletoreceive all thedigital

Tuner conict resolution

In some cases there may not be enough tuners for
all the functions your DTR is trying to perform, for
example if two recordings are taking place and you
try to change channels, you will see this pop-up
menu. If you really wish to change channels, go
to the Planned Recordings menu and cancel the
recording. Pressing the RED button will take you to

the Planned Recordings menu.

Top Up TV Anytime conict resolution

Watching live TV may conict with the requirement
to record Top Up TV Anytime programmes. This may
occur if you are watching a programme when the
Top Up TV Anytime programmes start, you switch
on your DTR while Top Up TV Anytime programmes
are being recorded or you are watching a Top Up
TV Anytime programme but then try to change

channels.In the event of a conict, you will see this
pop-up. If you press the RED button, you will
continue to record the Top Up TV Anytime
programmes, however, if you press the GREEN
button the Top Up TV Anytime recordings will be
abandoned and your DTR will be considered to be
in override mode.

Your DTR will remain in override mode for one hour

or until it is placed in standby.

In the same way, if your DTR is trying to collect TV

listings or Top Up TV Anytime information, your

DTR will pop-up this warning. If you press the RED

button, you will continue to collect the required

information, however, if you press the GREEN button

the task will be abandoned.

By overriding this task, your DTR may fail to update the TV listings and as a consequence, may
fail to record Top Up TV Anytime programmes.

Information

If your DTR fails to respond

In very exceptional circumstances, your DTR may not respond as expected when switching it on.
If this does happen, it is most likely to have been caused by corruption of programmes
stored on your disk. This can occasionally cause the DTR to remain in standby mode or fail
to respond to the remote control while not displaying any picture. However, normal DTR
operation can usually be restored, by performing a reset as noted below.

WARNING
Resetting your DTR can cause all saved programmes to be lost.
These steps should only be taken after carefully checking all DTR connections and ensuring
you have working batteries in your DTR remote control.

Check the display on the front panel of your DTR.

Further Connections

The scart lead allows rapid connection to your TV, in order to get you going as quickly
and easily as possible. If you should wish to adopt the more advanced connections please
purchase additional leads as explained below.

Archiving o the DTR onto a VCR or other recorder

Add a second scart lead to link the VCR SCART socket on your DTR to
the AV1/EXT1/AUX1 socket of your VCR. This connection will allow
you to archive to a permanent media. If your VCR supports auto-start
recording, then the DTR will control the VCR automatically.

Connection to a hi- system or home cinema unit

Use a pair of stereo coax phono leads to connect the L/R AUDIO OUT
socket on your DTR to the L/R AUDIO IN of your hi- or home cinema
unit, giving you higher quality sound when you use your DTR.
NOTE: Audio sockets are generally identied by colour. White for Left
and Red for Right.

Coaxial connection to an audio visual amplier

To get even better sound from your DTR, use a digital audio lead to
connect from the OPTICAL OUT socket on your DTR to the DIGITAL

AUDIO IN on your AV amplier.

Using your DTR Remote to control your TV

The DTR remote control is capable of controlling the common functions of your TV. Locate
the “Remote control TV set-up codes” sheet from your accessories and nd your make of TV
on the list. Note the four digit number(s) applicable to your TV. On the DTR remote Press TV,
now press and hold

OK and AV together. The TV button will ash twice. Now enter the 4

digit code relating to your make of TV. Again the TV

button will ash twice. If an invalid code

is entered, the TV button will only ash one long ash.

Make sure that the entered code is the right one for your TV by
pressing the ‘active’ buttons from the list below. If your TV does
not respond, repeat the sequence with the next available code
in the table. Once you are sure that the code is correct you can
write it down in the box to the right and on an identical label on
the inside battery door of your DTR remote control.

Insert the batteries into the handset as shown. Point the remote
control at the DTR and press the DTR button. The DTR button
will ash once to conrm that the remote control is working
correctly.

Important information regarding the batteries

Do not mix dierent types of batteries or new and old batteries.
Do not use re-chargeable batteries. Do not throw batteries into
a re, do not recharge them. Remove the batteries from the
remote control if you are not going to use it for several weeks.
Immediately remove any leaking batteries. Take care in doing
this, as leaking batteries may cause burns to the skin or other
physical injury.

Inserting the batteries

Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations.
Before you dispose of batteries ask your dealer whether they
are subject to special recycling and if they accept them back.

because it is not suitable for your socket, or it becomes damaged, it should be unplugged
then cut o and the fuse removed immediately. Please dispose of the plug safely and out
of reach from children. Under no circumstance should the cut-o plug be inserted into a
mains socket outlet due to high risk of
electric shock. Then t an appropriate
plug carefully following the wiring
instructions shown below.

Important

The wires in the mains plug should
be connected as shown in the
diagram. The colours of the wires
in the mains lead of the unit may
not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in
your plug. Connect them as follows:

How to replace the fuse

Open the fuse compartment with a blade screwdriver and replace the fuse. When replacing the
fuse in the plug, use an ASTA or BSI approved 5 Amp fuse and be sure to re-t the fuse cover.
If the plug supplied with this equipment has a detachable fuse cover, be sure attach the fuse
cover after you change the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover. If you should lose
the fuse cover, please contact an electrical goods retailer. If in doubt, consult a competent
electrician how to replace the fuse.

This symbol means that this unit is double insulated. An earth connection is not
required.

CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, disconnect from the mains before removing cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied service personnel. Disconnect from the mains supply
before cleaning.

Safe use and care of your audio visual equipment

We have designed and made this product to meet European safety standards, but as with any
electrical equipment you must take care to get the longest working life from it and stay safe.
Here are a few tips to help you do this.

Read these instructions carefully before you try to use the equipment.

Protect the mains lead. You must ensure the mains lead cannot be walked on, crushed,
chafed, cut, and so on. The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains)
as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself has been turned o. If
you are not going to use the apparatus for a long time, be sure to disconnect the apparatus
from the wall outlet.

Avoid harsh conditions such as wet or damp places, high humidity, strong vibration,
extremely high or low temperatures, strong sunlight or places which are dusty. Please avoid
the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming
pools.

Never let anyone push objects into holes and ventilation slots on the equipment.

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sucient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock of persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Information

40

Don’t continue to use this equipment if you have spilt liquids on it, if it is damaged in any way
or if it does not work normally. Immediately unplug the equipment and get expert advice.

Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket during thunderstorms and disconnect the aerial
lead.

This product is only designed for household or similar general use. Any other use may
invalidate the guarantee and might be dangerous.

Ventilation

Place the equipment on a hard at surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
If it is in a cabinet, allow at least a 10cm gap all around. Take care to provide a good air
circulation. Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
built-up in the apparatus. Don’t obstruct the ventilation slots, including those underneath,
with soft furnishings. The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated
with sucient air circulation. Please do not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.
Overheating will shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of re.

Cleaning

Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth. Do not use chemical
solvents or strong detergents as these may damage the cosmetic nish.

Batteries

Remove batteries when the equipment is not to be used for a long time. Batteries left in
equipment may cause damage through deterioration and corrosive leakage, invalidating
the guarantee. To protect the environment please use local recycling facilities for battery

disposal. Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.

Disposal

Waste electrical and electronic products must not be disposed of with household
waste. Please refer to your local authority for disposal instructions.
Packaging materials can be recycled using your local collection facilities.
