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 dierent
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.

Step 1 – Unpack your DTR
Unpack your DTR and check you have all the following accessories:
• Remotecontrol
•Mainslead
•Scartlead
• RemotecontrolTVset-upcodes(loosesheet)
• 2 x AA batteries to place in your remote control (refer to page 37)
Please record the CAN number from the label on your DTR below
Please write your viewing card number below
Step 2 – A typical installation
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power to all your existing equipment.
Now place your DTR where you want to keep it and connect it to your TV as
shown in the diagram, by following these simple instructions:
6
A Unplug the aerial cable from your VCR (or TV) and plug it into the
OK
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 Connect the mains lead to the mains socket 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 conrm 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

Getting Started
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
OK
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 certication 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
OK
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.
Getting Started
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 t o leave your DTR on channel 16 (QVC) 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.

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 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 / DOWN 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
Using Your DTR
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.
