GENERAL OPERATION OF THE DMP

Throughout this manual you will notice that the everyday opera­tion of your DMP is based on a series of user friendly on-screen
displays and menus. These menus will help you get the most
from your DMP, guiding you through installation, channel selec­tion, viewing and many other functions.

All functions can be carried out using the buttons on the remote
control, and some of the functions can also be carried out using
the buttons on the front panel.
If at any time when using the menus (except Installation and
Reinstall) you want to return to the normal TV/Radio mode, press
the EXIT button.

Please be aware that new software may change the functional­ity of the DMP.

Should you experience any difficulties with the operation of your
DMP, please consult the relevant section of this manual, includ­ing the Problem Solving, or alternatively call your dealer or a cus­tomer service adviser.

Please note: The first thing to do before sending the DMP to
service is to:

1: Perform ”Diagnostic” procedure in System Information menu.

2: Try downloading new software into the DMP.

With this procedure, the new software may solve the problem
in the quickest and most efficient way. See the relevant sec­tion ”Receiver Upgrade” further on in this manual.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Allow clear space around the DMP for
sufficient ventilation.

• Do not cover the DMP or place it on a
unit that emits heat.

• Use a soft cloth and a mild solution of
washing-up liquid to clean the casing.

• Never allow liquids, spray or other materi­als to come into contact with the inside of
the DMP.

• Do not connect or modify cables when the
DMP is plugged in.

GB 4

• Do not remove the cover.

• Do not allow the unit to be exposed to hot,
cold or humid conditions.

• Service should be carried out only at a Nokia
Authorised Service Centre.

• Please note that the only way to isolate the
DMP completely from the mains supply is
to unplug the mains lead!

• For best protection of your DMP it is
strongly advised that a surge protection
device be installed (not included in standard
accessory package).

ABOUT THE SMARTCARD

The DMP box has access to scrambled TV/Radio channels based
on the embedded Nagravision system.

To be able to receive these scrambled digital channels you will
need a special Smartcard distributed by your Service Provider or
included in the box. The Service Provider is the programme dis­tributor of the channels.

Only some “Free-to-Air” channels may be available without the
Smartcard.

After inserting the Smartcard, leave it in the slot permanently.

New and updated information may be downloaded on the
Smartcard from time to time.

How to insert a Smartcard (Nagravision)

• Insert your Smartcard fully into the slot on the front panel of
the DMP. The gold chip should face downwards and in-

wards.

PIN Code

The Smartcard is loaded with a 4-digit code, also called a PIN code
(Personal Identification Number).

The code is essential in order to access future services offered
by the Service Provider.

Note 1!

The gold chip of the
smartcard should face

downwards and inwards

GB 7

GB 10

Tuning Procedure when RF Connections are Used

This procedure is necessary only if your DMP is connected
to the TV with an RF lead.

To tune your TV to the RF signal you might also need your TV
manual in addition to this manual. The steps below explain what
to do if you have been unable to use Audio/Video leads in your
connection.

• Plug in your DMP.

Tuning your TV to the DMP

• Select a channel number on the TV that is not currently used
for other TV channels.

• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to tune the TV chan­nel selector to VHF channel 3 (this is the DMP’s factory pre­set VHF channel). If you are already using this channel, select
channel 4.

• If you need to change VHF channel you do as follows:

First you change on the DMP. Use the
front panel of the DMP, or on the remote. You will see the VHF
channel number displayed on the front panel of the DMP. Then
you tune the TV channel selector to the same VHF channel.

• When you have correctly changed the VHF channel number
you will see the ”

If there is interference from other channels you will have to
change the chosen VHF channel.

• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to store this VHF chan­nel as the channel used by your DMP. You will have to select it
when you want to watch digital TV/Radio channels.

• Once the welcome message is visible, press the OK button
on the DMPs remote control to start the installation procedure.

If for some reason you have to change the RF channel later,
you can do this by using TV settings menu further on in this
manual.
If you have a VCR connected it must be tuned to a different
VHF channel (between 3 to 4) than the DMP.

You may now proceed to “First Time Installation.”

Receiver Upgrade

In order to keep the DMP up-to-date, it will be possible to
download new versions of the system software via satellite. New
software may include new or improved features for existing
menus.

Enter this menu to check for new software. If new software is
available you will get information in the menu on how to proceed.

If you download new software from ”Nokia Internet pages”, you
transfer the software from the computer to the DMP via the se­rial port.

IMPORTANT! Updating via satellite may take a while. The front
display will indicate the percent left to download.

NEVER turn off the DMP, never use the remote control or
disconnect the antenna/LNB cable during the download pro­cedure!

Reinstall

Use this option only if you have to start the complete installation
procedure from scratch. If you continue from here, all your pre­vious settings, parental code and favourite channels etc. will be
erased!

If you do not want to change any settings you can leave this
menu when the warning is displayed by pressing BACK or
EXIT.

or pre-selected by using the installation setup. This
makes it possible to select between several different lan­guages in a film. The number of choices is dependent on
what is available in the signal.

service they desire.

GHz

The prefix giga means billion, and Hertz means cycles per
second. Signals in the GHz range are often called micro­waves.

LNB (low-noise block converter) or LNBF

An electronic unit mounted on the satellite dish. It re­ceives the signals reflected by the dish and converts
them to signals that can be used by the DMP.

L.O.

Local oscillator part of the LNB. It converts from the sat­ellite frequency down to a frequency acceptable for the
DMP.

DMP

Digital Multimedia Processor.
A unit that converts the digital satellite signals into audio
and video signals. The audio and video signal can be sent
to the TV set either via Audio/Video or via RF (modulator
output).

panel shows the time or - - : - -.

No sound or picture.

No sound or picture on horizontal
modulated transponder.

Bad picture/blocking error.

Possible causes
