2.3.2. Setting-up the RCU for your TV
The RCU is a universal remote control, i.e. it can control your TV. You should setup the RCU for them to
use. If you want to control TV, please do the following steps with TV key instead.
1. At first, turn on the TV
2. Find the brand code for your TV in Brand Codes for Universal RCU at the Appendix. You can see
one or more 4 digit numbers.
3. Press the OK and Power keys on the RCU at the same time for more than 3 seconds until the back
light of the TV key twinkles 3 times shortly.
4. Please do just one of the following two methods.
A. Set the brand code manually – may be fast but a bit of complex
Press the 4 digit brand code in sequence found in the step 2.
If the back light of the TV key turns on during about two seconds,
- it means the code is wrong for the RCU,
- you can retry this step with the next code found in the step 2 within 20 seconds.
If the back light of the TV key twinkles 2 times shortly,
- it means the code was accepted to the RCU and the RCU transmits the ultra red light for the POWER
key.
- if the TV turns off, go to the step 5.
- if the TV does not respond, you can retry this step with the next code found in the step 2 within 20
seconds.
B. Set the brand code by scrolling – may take long time but easy
Press the UP / Down key until the TV turns off.
- if the TV turns off, go to the step 5.
- if the TV does not respond, continue this step B within 20 seconds.
5. Press the OK key then the back light of the TV key will twinkle 3 times again. Please turn on the TV by
pressing the POWER key on the RCU then check whether other keys such a VOL / , CH / , etc are

3.1. Connecting your TV to the receiver
● There are various types of connections of the digital receiver, but please consider to follow the order
below if available for the best possible picture quality.
1. HDMI connector
2. Component(Y, Pb, Pr) connectors
3. SCART connector (RGB, YC, CVBS)
Please select RGB for the SCART TV item in the Audio, Video menu, if your TV supports this mode
because it is more clear than YC or CVBS.
● Using A HDMI Cable : If you have a HD television set, you should use a HDMI cable for the best
results. Plug receiver’s HDMI cable to the terminal marked “HDMI” on the rear panel of your receiver and
its other end to the TV HDMI input. In this case, you do not have to make audio connection because the
HDMI connector can output stereo audio or Dolby Digital audio.

4.10. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
※UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) : a set of networking protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum.
The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of
networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in corporate environments
for simplified installation of computer components. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP
device control protocols (DCP) built upon open, Internet-based communication standard
● The UPnP client function is always activated, and
therefore, it is constantly searching for servers on
the network.
● In order to use the UPnP file sharing functionality,
you must have at least one UPnP server on the
network such as ×-Box360, PS/3, and a PC
running a UPnP server software like TVersity ,
which is widely used in a PC environment.
● You can download and install the software from
www.tversity.com on the PC. After installation, add
desired folder to share as instructed by its operation guide and start the server function.
● The number of servers found in the Multimedia menu.
● If you select one of the servers and press the OK key, it will show the files contained in the selected
server.
17
● Select the file and press the OK key then the file will be downloaded into the upnp folder in the Internal
Disk or external USB disk.
Depending on the file types, you may be able to play the file while downloading
(e.g .MKV format) or after downloading (e,g .AVI format).
The Easy Installation function was designed to do the first installation with ease but some steps require
the technical knowledge about the satellite broadcasting system. Please see the detailed description in
the 6. Menus chapter about the following steps.
5.1. Step-1 Language
There are three kinds of languages : OSD (On - Screen Display, e.g. Menu), multilingual audio (e.g.
audio track), and multilingual text (e.g. teletext and EPG).
You can select three levels of priority for audio and text languages.
● OSD – Selects the language for On-Screen
Display like menus.
● Audio 1, 2, 3 : Selects the preferred audio
language with priority.
● Text 1, 2, 3 : Selects the preferred teletext and
EPG language with priority.
☞ If a program has an audio/text language that
is matched to the 1st Audio / Text language when
you’re watching the program, it will be output.
● If the 1st Audio / Text language does not
matched, receiver will do above step with the 2nd one and then 3rd one if then 2nd one also fails.
