Nokia MEDIAMASTER 9850 T Owner's Manual

Nokia Mediamaster

Free-to-View

Owner’s Manual

Digital terrestrial Free-to-View is a non-subscription service through an

existing TV and aerial.

Total Channel availability is subject to coverage.

*You may be reguired to upgrade your television aerial to enable full

service reception.

Important Information

Wiring the plug (UK and Eire only)

The mains lead on this product is already fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded)
plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362
fuse must be used of the same rating.

If the fuse cover is detachable always refit the cover after replacing the fuse.
NEVER use the plug with the fuse cover omitted.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets it should be cut off, after
having first removed the fuse, and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If this
new plug contains a fuse its value should be the same as that removed from the
non-rewireable plug.
The severed plug must be destroyed immediately to avoid possible shock hazard.
If you need to replace the mains plug then follow the instruction given below:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE - Neutral (N); BROWN - Live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
On no account should either of these wires be connected to the terminal marked
E or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over
the sheath of the lead; not simply over the two wires.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

General operation of your ITV Digital Mediamaster

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

Functions can be carried out using either the buttons on the front of
your Mediamaster or on the remote. However we suggest that you
will find it easier to use your remote in most instances. If at any time
when using the menus you want to return to the normal TV picture,
press either the EXIT or MENU button.

Included with your ITV Digital Mediamaster is the ITV Digital ‘starter
pack’. It contains the leaflet ‘How to switch on in one easy go’. This
has simple instructions on how to connect and start up the ITV Digital
Mediamaster. Your Smartcard from ITV Digital is also included with this
leaflet.

Should you experience any difficulties with the operation of your
ITV Digital Mediamaster, please consult the relevant section of this
book, including the trouble shooting guide, or if you need more help
call: ITV Digital Customer Services 0808 100 0101.

• Allow clear space around the Media-

master for sufficient ventilation.

• Do not cover the Mediamaster 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 Mediamaster .

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

• Do not remove the cover .

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

• Nokia is proud to offer a high quality product.
To keep this level of quality, service should
be carried out only at a Nokia authorised
service centre.

• Please note that the only way to isolate the
Mediamaster completely from the 230 V
mains supply is to unplug the mains lead!

For your safety

Welcome to digital terrestrial television

The simplest way to get digital television is here. No dish. No cable.
Simply an aerial. It is, without doubt, the most exciting development
in television history since the first-ever broadcast in 1936.

In the last 60 years, there have been up to five normal channels on
analogue television. Digital terrestrial television changes that.

ITV Digital is the next step in television. Simply plug in your
ITV Digital box for a feast of mouth watering television.
ITV Digital lets you pick and choose the Primary channels you want
to watch.

Subscription channels from ITV Digital, together with free-to-view
channels from the BBC* and ITV , cover everything from sports and
movies to news and current affairs, all with improved picture and
sound... and widescreen too. No need for dishes. No need for cables.
All you need is ITV Digital.

* BBC services are provided free as part of the licence fee.

This function is normally only used when first installing your
Mediamaster, as described earlier in this instruction book. You
should follow these instructions when you wish to re-install your
Mediamaster at an alternative location, or search for new
channels that may have subsequently been launched by the
broadcasters.

Adding new channels

This function should be used when you want to search for any
new channels that may have been launched since you originally
installed your Mediamaster.

• Press MENU, then 5

(getting started),

then

3 (add channels)

Your Mediamaster will now automatically search for any new
digital channels. This could take several minutes. Y ou will see
a bar on the menu telling you how the search is progressing.

As the search ends, you will briefly see a message that
indicates the Mediamaster is storing the channels.

Once the box has found any new channels, the on-screen
display will disappear and the new channels will be added into
the channel list.

You can check what channels have been added by looking at
the channel list, also selected from the getting started menu.
If no new channels have been launched, your Mediamaster will
display a message saying ‘no channels found’.

Replacing the whole channel list

Should you want to carry out a new search for all channels, the
store channels option should be selected. In this instance, the
current channels stored in your Mediamaster will be replaced by
those channels found in the new search.

• Press MENU, then 5

(getting started)

then

4 (store channels)

Note: As your Mediamaster will have been previously tuned
at this stage, the screen will display a warning that existing
channel information will be lost when this process is complete.

• Press SELECT if you wish to continue, alternatively press the
RED button to return to to the main menu and no changes will
be made.

Your Mediamaster will now automatically search for your
digital channels. This could take several minutes. Y ou will see
a bar on the menu telling you how the search is progressing.

As the search ends, you will briefly see a message that
indicates the Mediamaster is storing the channels. You will
then see a list of the channels that have been found and
stored.

Problem

The display on the front panel does
not light up/is not lit.

No sound or picture, but the front
panel shows the time or - -:- -

Bad picture/blocking error.

The front panel shows a channel
number, but you can’ t see anything
from digital TV .

When the Mediamaster tries to find
and store channels during the first
installation, you see the message
‘no channels found’ or some
channels are missing from the
channel list.

The P+ and P- buttons do not work.
▲ ▼ buttons do not work in the on­screen TV guide.

Pressing TV/DTV does not switch
between a digital channel and an
analogue channel.

A small red circle or square appears
on the screen, or your picture is
‘freezing’.

Possible causes

Mains cable is not connected.

The Mediamaster is in standby.

Signal too weak.

The Mediamaster is not set in
digital TV mode.

The SCART connection has been
made wrong or your TV has not
selected the correct AV/EXT
channel.

The aerial is not properly connected
to the Mediamaster.
The aerial is not pointing in the right
direction.
The aerial is not suitable for digital
channels.
The indoor aerial is not enough.
There are no digital transmission.

The Mediamaster is in favourites
mode and you have not set any
favourites channels.

The system is not connected by
SCART leads.
The system is SCART connected
but the TV is tuned to its channel
for digital terrestrial TV.

The digital signal is weak or
missing.
The aerial may not be suitable.
There could be a transmission
problem.

Your connecting cables have
become loose or disconnected.

What to do

Check that the mains cable is
plugged into the power socket.

Press the standby button or any
number button to bring the
Mediamaster out of standby.

Check if the aerial works for
analogue reception.

If your system is connected by
SCART leads, press TV/DTV. If this
not does work, set the TV to its
appropriate AV input.
If your system is connected only
by RF leads, set your TV to that
channel you have tuned for digital
terrestrial TV .
Check SCART connections, making
sure leads are firmly pushed into
the sockets. Try manually selecting
the AV/EXT channel on your TV.

Check the aerial connector and the
aerial installation.
Check if you can see the analogue
channels.

the right direction.
Check that the digital transmission
are available in the area.

Set up some favourites or take the
Mediamaster out of favourites
mode.

Contact ITV Digital Customer
Services. They may ask you to
check the signal strength menu.
This is normally only a temporary
situation and should correct itself.
If it persists, contact ITV Digital
Customer Services.
Check all connections and make
sure they are firmly pushed into
sockets.

Trouble shooting guide

Possible causes

The Mediamaster was unplugged
without first going to standby.

You have entered in a channel
number which currently has no
channel associated with it.

The signal to your aerial may be
weak.

Your aerial may need adjusting or
your local transmitter may not be
working.

Your Mediamaster is interfering
with the frequency of your other
equipment.

If you have connected using SCART
and you have an RGB compatible
TV , one of the tv settings should be
wrong.

Your ITV Digital subscription does
not currently include these
channels.

They have been re-arranged as
described in this manual.

The broadcast is probably in
widescreen and the Mediamaster
settings may not be correct.

The video was set incorrectly.

Your Mediamaster was not left in
standby.

You were watching another digital
channel and ignored the timer
alarm.

The timer automatically adds 5
minutes to the start and end times
set in the timer. If the 2

nd

programme starts immediately
after the first, this can delay the
start of the second recording.

Problem

The settings you have done in the
menus have not been changed.

You see a on-screen message
‘no channel on this number’.

You can’t find all the channels you
think should be available.

You can see interference on your
normal TV channels or your video.

The on-screen displays are not as
sharp as I expected.

There is no picture on certain
channels but the channel name is
displayed.

The order of my channels has
changed.

The picture on some channels
seems to have been stretched or
squashed.

I set the timer but it didn’t record
what I wanted.

When I have more than 1 pro­gramme in the timer, I sometimes
miss the beginning of the second
programme.

What to do

Some menus are only saved
permanently when you first put the
Mediamaster in standby. Put the
Mediamaster in standby after you
have changed something in the
menus.

Select another channel number.

Try retuning your Mediamaster,
following the relevant steps in this
manual. If you are still missing
channels, your aerial may need
adjusting.
Contact ITV Digital Customer
Services. They will check this for
you.

You need to change the UHF
output of the Mediamaster.

Refer to the relevant section in this
manual and alter the TV standard
to RGB.

To add channels to your subscrip­tion, contact ITV Digital Customer
Services.

Refer to the relevant section in this
manual to change the order again.

Check the Mediamaster settings. If
you have a widescreen TV , you
may also need to check the
settings on your TV .

Make sure that your video is set for
the same time as your
Mediamaster.
If you set the timer and have
finished watching TV , make sure
you put your Mediamaster into
standby, otherwise it will not
activate.
If you set the timer and continued
watching, you must change to the
timer channel when the alarm
activates.

Only set the timer for the exact
time of the programme. Allow for
the 5 minutes run in and out times
when setting more than one event.
