3. Connecting
If your TV is standard definition and
does not have component input,
please use a 3 lines cable (red, white,
yellow) to connect to your STB’s CVBS,
left and right analog audio port, as well
as to your TV’s corresponding ports.
If your TV is standard or high definition
and has component input ports, you
can connect your STB to your TV with a
5 lines cable (red, green, blue/ red,
white)
If your TV is high definition and has a
HDMI input port, connect your STB to
your TV with an HDMI cable. This
allows for maximum resolution to be
displayed on your television.
Connect your satellite antenna cable
to your STB’s ‘SAT IN’ port. Then, turn
on your TV and select the appropriate
input on your television.
Turn on your STB power, select a satellite in the “Satellite List” menu, and then enter the antenna setup to
configure exact parameters of this antenna. Select “Single Satellite Search”, then “Auto Scan” to search programs.

The Manhattan RS-1933 receiver has a capacity for up to 100 satellites in memory. Standard factory settings include
over 90 satellites on both C and Ku-band, from 128 East to 1 West longitude. This allows North American users on both
the Pacific (Alaska and Hawaii) and Atlantic (Canada’s Maritimes) coasts to use the same memory configuration. This
standard setup lists satellites from West to East, Ku-band followed by C-band. A few selected transponders are included
with each satellite to allow you to get started. A few channels from popular satellites are also included, but you must do
a scan to create full channel lists once you connect your system. Go into the receiver Menus and check the satellites
90 satellites in the receiver memory, only those satellites that have been selected and actually have at least one channel
scanned or inputted into the memory in advance will appear when you press the LIST button.
Those using an IRD receiver such as a 4DTV may prefer to have satellites listed in order, but with C and Ku-band from
an orbital location listed next to each other. You can go to the Manhattan-Digital website at www.manhattan-digital.net
and visit our SUPPORT section to obtain a factory download file in the MIX format, which alternates C and Ku listings in
this manner. Such a download can be transferred to a USB memory stick to update your receiver.
Whichever method that you use, once it is installed, you have several choices on how to scan for active satellite
channels. One can do an AUTO SCAN, which searches all frequencies on each polarity, then creates a channel list. Auto
Scan can be quite time consuming and sometimes less than accurate unless a system is perfectly aligned. Alternatives
include the manual entry of additional Transponder information from references on the Internet such as www.global-
cm.net or www.lyngsat.com and others. You can then use the Preset Scan mode to more quickly scan for signals. An
Auto Scan attempted AFTER first doing a Preset Scan should be faster, since the Preset Scan has already found a number
of transponders. All of this scanning does take time, and if you would like another alternative to reduce the effort
needed to create a channel list, there is the availability of Preloaded Memory Updates, sold by select Manhattan-Digital
dealers. Such an update would normally include a consecutive listing of ALL known transponders containing FTA
channels, allowing you to immediately do a Preset Scan on each polarity after loading this update into the receiver. Such
updates are done on a frequent basis to keep the database up-to-date. Please contact Manhattan-Digital by Email at the
contacts listed on the website if you would like the name of a dealer that can provide this service.

the RS-1933 receiver, in an effort to update and improve operating features, as well as fix software “bugs”
that have been discovered. Version 3.2, released on September 1, 2011, includes the important feature of
uploading, making it possible to save existing satellite memory files to a USB memory stick, as well as
download updates the same way. We suggest that you update to at least this level of firmware so that there
is minimal future need to manually update entire files. Updating to Version 3.2 and later versions will erase
will be a problem of the past, and future updates will literally take seconds to process.
Instructions on Updating Your Receiver
Press MENU button and look for TOOLS header, dropping with down arrow if necessary. Enter TOOLS
section and select INFORMATION. Study the entry to the right of MAIN CODE, which will give you the latest
firmware version such as LRJM 3.2 (version 3.2) and a release date. This will confirm the status of your
receiver. If you need to update, download from the Manhattan-Digital website, and unzip the file. From the
files that are unzipped, save a copy of the “product-glass” abs file, onto your USB stick. Insert the USB stick
into the USB port on back of the RS-1933 receiver. Power on the receiver if not already turned on. Once
receiver has booted up, press MENU and go to TOOLS submenu. Drop down and select the UPGRADE BY USB
option. Upgrade Mode should be in ALLCODE. Move highlighter bar to Upgrade File and then toggle left or
the receiver update. It should power off afterwards and then turn itself back on. Go to TOOLS section of
menu and select INFORMATION to check that the new update version number is to the right of MAIN CODE.
Exit out and set up your receiver’s satellite configurations.
If you have Version 3.2 or higher number, and have set up your satellites and transponders to your liking,
as well as custom channel scans and edits, you can now save them in an abs file as a backup. Press MENU.
Select TOOLS submenu and drop down to DUMP TO USB. After entering this Dump Menu, scroll through the
options until you see “USER DB” listed in the Dump Mode line. Select START and press OK with the remote
control, and wait for receiver to save. This will create a file of all satellites, transponders and scanned
channels, and should be saved with the name S-3602_all_dump.bin.
You can use this or any other similar backup file to merge with future firmware updates. If you have done
some customizing and would like to merge this information found in your receiver with a new firmware
update, first confirm that you have the Product Glass.abs file for that update (which you might want to

RECORD and DVR Operation
Study the brief descriptions of functions in the Manhattan RS-1933 user manual, and confirm that your
settings and accessories are appropriate for the purpose that you intend to accomplish.
USB Memory Sticks are limited in storage capacity and in most cases will not function for High Definition
mode recording. You may see a prompt on the screen telling you that USB Speed is too low. For normal
standard definition recording, we recommend a minimum of a 4 Gb memory stick for excerpting a few
episodes of a show. If you intend to do HD recording, or any archiving that requires substantial memory
capacity, it is suggested that a large external hard drive of at least 500 Gb be considered. Results will vary by
link on how-to format hard drives on this website. It should also be noted that the maximum capacity that
the RS-1933 receiver will properly function with is 2 Terabytes, and files are separated after 1 Terabyte.
In addition to recording programming received via satellite, the receiver also has the ability to play music
and JPEG files such as photographs, if connected via the USB port to an external hard drive or memory stick.
Operation can be described as intuitive, with simple pressing of the record button on the remote control
starting a recording event. Study the remote control diagram in the receiver manual if unfamiliar with button
placement or function, and become comfortable with menu operation. There are readouts of available free
space, record time and file size in the DVR section. Playback and previewing can be assisted by customizing
Fast-Forward (FF) and Rewind (RW) times, which can be set for intervals of 30 seconds, 1, 5 and 10 minutes.
Once you have mastered such basic recording operation, you can then consider timed recording. If you
depend upon the receiver clock to set a timed recording, be aware that the clock’s accuracy depends upon
the receiver being tuned to a live signal with a time reference, or you can also manually set the time. Please
note that some channels from outside of North America use their local time reference, so check the display
on the menu screen. Setting the clock manually can be done by going into Menu to SYSTEM SETUP. Press
Right arrow to highlight in gold, and the Down arrow to reach Local Time Setting. Press OK. Scroll down so
that GMT USAGE is highlighted. Move left or right until this is changed to USER DEFINE. Scroll Down to GMT
OFFSET and then Left to reach your time zone. Turn Summer Time ON if observed. Exit out of all menus and
Save. Turn power OFF to test the clock setting.
