5.2 Installation with RAPS
Your CX10/VX10 is equipped with RAPS. RAPS means Receiver Automatic Programming System and works like this:
Always when you switch off your receiver, RAPS is looking for changes in
the channel lists. This takes only a few seconds. If there are any, the new
data will be taken automatically as new channel list. If the channel parameters of a program will be changed, RAPS will take over these automatically.
If there are new programs, these will be added. If programs are switched
off forever, the channel list positions will be deleted. New programs will
not simply be added but divided in logical blocks in order to allow fast
find.
For example for Germany there are a basic list and additionally the groups

7.12.1 The USB Mouse or the USB Keyboard is the only USB Device
Example:
You want to use only live TV (no recordings) and therefore do not need a
USB disk or you use an eSATA disk for recording, time shift, or media
playback. You also use the Internet either with mouse or with keyboard.
Connect a USB mouse or a USB keyboard to the receiver (USB inter-
face at the rear). You can use the device now.
7.12.2 Several USB Devices
If you want to use the recording and / or time shift functions in conjunction
with a USB storage device, or mouse and keyboard should be available
simultaneously, you need to connect several USB devices.
1. Connect a USB hub to the USB socket on the back of the receiver
2. Connect a USB keyboard to the USB hub. You can use the keyboard
now.
3. Connect to the USB hub one or several USB storage devices.
Instead of a USB mouse and USB keyboard, you can
also use a wireless keyboard-mouse combination
("wireless desktop"). This has the advantage that only
one USB slot is occupied.
The total power consumption of all connected USB devices may not exceed 500 mA.

Operation in a Unicable System
smart CX10/VX10 95
8 Operation in a Unicable System
8.1 About Unicable
The HDTV receiver smartCX10/VX10 can be operated at a unicable system. Depending on the type of system it is possible to connect up to eight
receivers to one trunk line.
In order to achieve that, at each receiver in the setup menu, a separate IF
channel and a corresponding frequency must be set.
The allocation of channels and frequencies depends on the used LNBs or
multiswitches.
The data sheet and the technical documentation for your LNB and / or
multiswitch contain a mapping table similar to the following.
8.2 Allocation ZF Channels and Frequencies
Receiver
ZF channel Example frequency (MHz) Frequency (MHz)
Receiver 1 1 1210
Receiver 2 2 1284
Receiver 3 3 1400
Receiver 4 4 1420
Receiver 5 5 1516
Receiver 6 6 1632
Receiver 7 7 1748
Receiver 8 8 1864
Fill in the last column of the table the frequencies of
your system, thus you always have all the relevant information at a glance.
The rule of thumb is: maximum frequency shortest
cable path.

order for each connected receiver in the system.
6. Set the respective channel (one of the selectable channels in ascending order for each connected receiver in the system).
7. Exit the menu by pressing EXIT (the settings are stored).
8. Select the menu Control Panel, the submenu Config RAPS and enter
the PIN code.

11. Go on as described in section 5.2, page 24.
9 Management of USB Storage Devices
For recording, time shift and media player functions mainly USB storage
devices (USB sticks, USB hard drives) are used. Therefore, their use is
described below in detail.
9.1 USB Sticks
In general, USB sticks can be used. However, it must be ensured, that the
read and write speed of the USB stick is higher than 12 MByte / s.
Too low read and write speed can cause problems during recording (stuttering, still images). The internal memory (buffer) is overloaded and the
recording is stuttering for a moment. As soon as the data is processed in
the internal memory, the recording will continue.
Page 97
Management of USB Storage Devices
smart CX10/VX10 97
If the write speed of a connected storage d
evice is not
high enough for proper recording, a corresponding notification window opens.
9.2 USB Hard Drive 2.5 "(Inch)
2.5" USB hard drives are normally powered via the USB connector.
Check the power consumption of your hard drive (consult the hard drive
user manual), since the smart receivers provide a maximum current of 500
- 600 mA.
If the power consumption of the drive is higher, it must be supplied with
an external AC adapter.
If this is not possible, programmed recordings cannot be processed or
they are defective.
9.3 USB Hard Drive 3.5 "(Inch)
3.5" USB hard drives have their own power supply.
Therefore, we recommend hard drives of this size for the operation along
with smart receivers.
9.4 Check the Read and Write Speed
You can test the read and write speed of your USB storage device with
various programs.
In the support section of the website www.smart-electronic.de you can
find such a program to download.
The read and write speed of your storage device must be more than 12
MByte / s to ensure an error-free operation.
9.5 File System
The smartCX10/VX10 supports the file systems FAT16, FAT32 and Ext2.
In addition, you can play files on NTFS-formatted disks.
9.6 Partitions on the Storage Device
The memory of a USB storage device can be split in several parts - socalled partitions.
Page 98
Management of USB Storage Devices
98 smart CX10/VX10
smart recommends to partition disks with a size of 500 GB, while the partitions should be no larger than 500 GB.
Examples:
• You do not need partition a disk with 400 GB.
• A 1000 GB hard disk should be divided into two partitions of 500 GB.
Use the second (or third) partition on the disk to archive
recordings. Connect the external disk to y
our PC and
move the recordings to the second partition.
So, you have always enough disk space on the first par-
tition, and have the possibility to clean up the first partition from time to time.
9.7 Memory Requirements for Recording
• SD recordings need about 40 MB / minute (2.5 GB / hour).
• HD recordings need about 120 MB / minute (7.0 GB / hour).
