Is Digital TV reception available in your home?

Generally speaking; if this receiver was on display (demonstration) by your retailer and
you live within the same area/town/city, then it should work within your home.

If you experience break-up of picture or poor performance, it is recommended that you
contact your local TV antenna installer first. They may need to check your signal quality
for digital reception. The antenna installer may advise you to upgrade your TV antenna
to a newer digital ready antenna, and install newer cabling such as RG6 quad shield
cable.

For more information on installations, visit the Digital Broadcast Australia website found at
http://www.dba.org.au.

I don’t seem to have Digital TV reception in my home,
what shall I do?

Digital TV is relatively new to Australia and it will take time for it to be available everywhere
around Australia. If Digital TV reception is not available to you, simply place together all
packaging and supplied cables back into the box neatly. Have your receipt (proof of
purchase) ready and contact your place of purchase for further details on what you
should do.

Connect your antenna lead directly into the antenna connection on the rear of the box.
Be sure to select AV or EXT input on your television by using the television remote

control.
Switch on the set-top box. If all connections are right, you will see the AUTO SEARCH

screen appears on the television.

Simply press the RED button (SUB.T) to start tuning process.

Please read the user-manual thoroughly

to enjoy this product.

How do I connect this box to my TV?

Using the RCA lead supplied (Yellow, White, Red); connect from the rear of the box (see Video
and Audio R, Audio L) directly to the AV input on your television. If you television does not
have stereo sound, then there is no need to connect the red lead.
When connecting to a high definition capable display, we recommend using the component
video lead supplied (green, red, blue) connected to Y Pb Pr labeled on the rear of the set-top
box. Your TV/Plasma must also have these same connectors.

Connecting Your Equipment

How to connect your STB to various systems

There are several ways of connecting the STB to your TV and Hi-Fi System. Consult your
local supplier for assistance in setting-up your system best suited to your requirements.

1. STB to a TV

There are various methods that may be used to connect your set-top box to the display.
For High Definition viewing your display must support either 576p, 720p or 1080i
display modes. Also the connection between the set-top box and display must be
YPbPr component, RGB Dsub15, or DVI. Other connection will provide standard
definition viewing.

(a)

Connect the set-top box via Video and Audio (for general viewing or connection to a VCR)

The 3 RCA connections (yellow, white and red) connect to the video and Audio R and
Audio L connections on the rear of the box. The other end of the cable connects to
your TV input labeled either AV or EXT. Be sure to select on your TV remote controller
to switch to AV or EXT input mode.

(b) Connect the set-top box via Component YPbPr (for high definition viewing)

The 3 RCA connections (green, blue and red) connect to the Y, Pb and Pr connections
on the rear of the box. The other end of the cable connects to your TV input labeled
Component YPbPr input. Be sure to select on your TV remote controller to switch to
component input mode. It may also be called AV or EXT key.

of the TV). Be sure to press the AV selection key on the TV remote to select this input
mode.

(c)

momentarily on the front display.

(d)

and the display. Press the OUTPUT key, you must select RGB (see front display ?
these letters will momentarily be displayed). Pressing the FORMAT key, you must
select 1080i, 720p or 576p. Refer to the screen display user manual to see what
modes are available. Make sure your screen accepts PALtiming. The DVB800 also
does not include HDCP. Some display devices support HDCP and therefore may not
be supported with your set-top box.

Q. The clock on my digital receiver is wrong. Why?

A. Make sure that your receiver is set to the correct time zone. (Refer to manual about

selecting state you live in) Unlike other electronic appliances in your house, the clock is

The TEAC box will do this automatically for you.

Q. Does the digital receiver support parental control of programs?

A. YES. The parental code can be set to block certain programs.

Q. What are MPEG Artefacts?

A. Somtimes the picture may appear to be slightly blocky. These are known as MPEG

artefacts. They are directly related to MPEG compression at the broadcast side. The
extent of artefacting is related to how fast the picture is moving, numbers of colours,
quality of the original material, the MPEG encoder used at the time, etc. This is not a
problem with the STB.

Q. I cannot get teletext to function?

A. The AUSTEXT Service is available on the Seven Network.

Q. Closed Captions don't always appear! Why?

A. Not all programs are captioned. News programs should always have captions available.

Q. Can I record Closed Captions on my VCR?

A. Yes, you may. You will need to connect the 3RCA cable(as supplied) to the Video & Audio
input on the VCR. Using the VCR remote, select ‘AV’, ‘EXT’on ‘Line In’ selection. Set the TV

What can I do?

A. Check to make sure the coloured leads are connected correctly. Secondly, press the

OUTPUT key on the remote to select component mode. The front display will momentarily
display ‘ypb’.
