Quick Start Guide

A Quick Start Guide to setting up your

Thomson Top Up TV+ Digital TV Recorder

First things first

Be sure you can receive Digital Terrestrial TV (Freeview) services in your area.
If you are not sure, you should ask your retailer to check your postcode for
you or try one of the following:

• Text your postcode to 83331 (standard rates apply)

• Visit www.freeview.co.uk or www.digitaluk.co.uk

Getting Started

A Unplug the aerial cable from your VCR (or TV) and plug it into the

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 And lastly, connect the mains lead to the Mains Input socket on your DTR

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 will flash quickly then
more slowly for about 45 seconds

. You must wait for it to change to solid red or

green 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 flash. This will
confirm 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 the TV remote button will be
labelled ‘AV’ or have this symbol

Once you can see the image on screen displayed here, and have ensured all
connections are correct, press on your remote.

Step 6 – TV Favourites set up

With TV Favourites 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 ESPN, a must-have for sports fans.

Press OK

Using your DTR remote control, now switch to channel 16 and check you are
getting a picture. If you are not getting a picture on channel 16, please refer to
the Troubleshooting section for help.

To activate the extra channels available from Top Up TV, please refer to your
welcome pack.

It may take up to 24 hours for your first TV Favourites and PictureBox programmes
to appear in your DTR library, but you will be able to watch your Freeview
channels right away.

Using Your DTR

NOTE: The full Programme Guide will normally be updated by your DTR automatically overnight. Until

then, you will have use of a reduced guide that will not enable you to access all the features of the
DTR. Please ensure you leave your DTR in Standby overnight, every night. If you subscribe to Top
Up TV services, depending on what time of day you initially set up your DTR, it may take up to 24
hours for TV Favourites to show in your library.

Using the Programme Guide

ersonal

Using Your DTR

Your DTR has access to two programme guides. Initially your DTR will provide
the standard Freeview 8 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 Guide has been
constructed to inform you of this.

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.

Using Your DTR

TV Favourites

In addition to the standard Freeview channels, your DTR can
also give you access to a wider range of programmes on TV
Favourites. By subscribing to TV Favourites for a small
monthly fee, your DTR will automatically record and
download programmes from channels such as G.O.L.D.
Home, Warner TV, National Geographic, The Disney Channel,
The best of the BBC and more, for you to watch whenever
it suits you.

By subscribing to Top Up TV for a small monthly fee, your DTR will automatically record and
download programmes from providers like Warner TV, National Geographic and more, for you to
watch whenever it suits you.

The extra channels are shown across the bottom of the Programme Guide screen.

Pressing the Top Up TV button on your remote enables you
to view the list of programmes available to watch right now.
Then you simply use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to
scroll through and press OK on anything you want to watch.

Top Up TV brings call now on

Using your Programme Library

Using Your DTR

Your Programme Library is where all of your recorded and
Top Up TV programmes are stored. To access it, press the
LIBRARY button or Option 2 from the Main Menu.

Your Programme Library will be empty at first, but as you start
to record programmes and Top Up TV programmes are
downloaded to your DTR, it will fill up. Note that it will take 7
days from set up for your Top Up TV programmes to be fully
downloaded.

Your Programme Library is partitioned into two sections.
The top section shows your recorded programmes, and any
Top Up TV programmes that you have saved. You can store
recordings here and delete them once you’ve watched them. To
delete a recording, use the arrow keys to highlight the
recording and press the BLUE button. Note that to manage the
space available in both sections, you need to customise your
Top Up TV viewing – see page 26 for full details.

The bottom section is where your Top Up TV programmes are
stored. You will notice that the screen appears slightly different.
There are two differences. The first and most important is the

Days Left column, and the second is the RED Save button.

Days Left

This shows how many days the programme will remain stored
on your DTR before it is automatically deleted and replaced
with new programmes. You may watch the programme at
anytime, but if the Days Left number reaches zero, you only
have a few hours left before the programme is overwritten. If
you would like to watch the programme, but do not have time
within the time remaining, you can move the programme to
the top section by pressing the RED button. The programme
will now appear in the top sections of the Programme Library
and the Days Left will show Saved. For some programmes,
rights restrictions means we are unfortunately not able to offer the Save feature.

There are a number of functions that are common to both storage areas: If you pause the
highlighter over a programme, that programme will automatically start playing in the small preview
window on the right-hand side of the screen. If you wish to watch the programme, press the OK
button. If you had previously not finished watching a programme, press the GREEN button to resume
the playback from the last watched point.

You can always access the Top Up TV programmes by pressing the Top Up TV button.

How to make Recordings

Using Your DTR

Your DTR will allow you to customise the way your record a
programme.

In this section, we will show you just what options are available
to you. Typically you will have pressed the button in the
Programme Guide which will have automatically taken you to this
screen, but you may also wish to set a recording manually. If you
have arrived at this screen via the Programme Guide, simply press
the button to accept the default settings and your recording
will be added to the list and completed without further interaction.

If you wish to set-up a manual recording via the Planned
Recordings menu, you will typically be presented with a virtually
blank screen as shown.

Press the GREEN button to continue and you will be prompted to
enter the channel, date, start and stop times. Use the LEFT and
RIGHT arrow buttons to amend the detail of the selections, and
the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to move between the settings.
Finally press the button to add the event to your Planned

Recordings list.

Instant record

If while watching a programme you decide you wish to record it, press the button on your remote
control and hold for 3 seconds. Y our DTR will automatically record the programme to the end of the
scheduled time and add any of that programme that exists in your review buffer.

Editing an event

There may be an occasion where you wish to adjust the recording (event) that you are setting. This
DTR allows you to change both the start time (TIME) and the duration of a recording.

Entering a recording from the Programme Guide or manually from the Planned Recordings menu, the
highlighter will be positioned over the PROGRAMME field. Press the RIGHT arrow button to move
the highlighter over the TIME field. Use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease the
start time. You can also move the highlighter to the DURATION field again with the RIGHT arrow and
use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease the recording duration. Once satisfied with
your adjustments, press the button to add this recording to the list.

Why edit an event?

There may be occasions where multiple recordings overlap and your DTR will warn you that two
recordings collide. You may know that the programme you wish to record has moved due to an
over-run of a previous programme. Or simply, you know that the part of the programme you are
interested in starts later than the actual programme start time; for example, a football match. Editing
the timing will allow you to record programmes that would otherwise conflict with each other and
save space on your DTR for future recordings.

Your DTR is also capable of automatically adding time to a recording to guard against programme
over-run. Please refer to page 27 for more information on Guard Times.

Additional DTR Functions

Using Your DTR

Tuner swap

Your DTR has two tuners which means it can receive two different channels at the same time.
You can switch between these two channels by pressing 0 on your remote control. If that channel
is paused, it will automatically switch to play to allow you to watch the programme. Furthermore,
if you are watching a recorded programme, your DTR will pause that programme and switch to the
programme currently being received by one of the tuners. Pressing 0 again will switch to the other
tuner and pressing 0 again will return you to your recorded programme and resume playback.

Watch whilst recording

This is the ability to view a programme that is currently being recorded as part of a scheduled
record or an instant record process. There are two ways to view a programme while it is being
recorded. From Planned Recordings highlight the programme you wish to watch and press the RED
button on your remote control. This will start the programme from the beginning. You can also
change channels to the one that is recording your programme and use trick modes such as REWIND
to move back through the recording to your desired point.

Pause, rewind & fast forward

These are functions that enable you to move forward or rewind
through a recording. There are nine incremental speeds for both
forward and rewind, these are x

1

/4 , x1/2, x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32

& x64.

Note: Quarter and half speed modes are only accessed from Pause mode. To enter Pause mode, press
the PAUSE button on your remote control.

Change your box settings

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select an option
and use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to cycle around
the available settings.

TV Picture format
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose from

4:3

Letterbox (black bars top and bottom), 4:3 Centre

Cut-Out (full screen, but lost picture on left and right),

4:3 Full Frame (if your 4:3 TV supports 16:9 switching,
check your TV manual) or 16:9 Widescreen (for
widescreen TVs).

TV Picture adjust horizontal and TV Picture adjust vertical

Select these options to move the picture generated by the DTR either horizontally or vertically so
it sits centrally on your television screen.

SCART setting

Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose from RGB (best picture), S-Video (for specific TVs)

or CVBS for all other types. See your TV manual for the best choice, it usually depends on which
socket you connect to.

Programme search

This option turns on or off the ‘Search’ facility (accessed using the RED key in the Guide) that provides
a search facility across the Programme Guide and recorded programmes. When enabled the RED key
is used to access the Search screen and the WHITE (R) key is used to record programmes within the
Guide. If disabled the RED key is also used to record programmes within the guide.

Synopsis pop-up delay

This option allows you to either turn off the synopsis window that pops-up over the Guide or video
when a programme is selected, or to change the period that you wait for before it appears.

Plasma blanking

This option allows you to specify a time after which the display automatically dims. This is
important as static images can damage certain screen types.

For both Radio and Plasma blanking the available settings are:

OFF, 3, 5, 10, 20 (minutes)

TV guide type

This option allows you to specify either the Top Up TV 14 day programme guide or the or 8 day
Freeview + programme guide.

Note that if you switch between the two, any planned recordings will have to be recreated as
they will be lost. An on screen message will prompt you on this before you make a change.

It is strongly recommended that the main TV is connected using the scart lead as this will provide
the best possible pictures. These instructions assume you are connected to the main TV with a scart
lead as shown on page 6.

Setting Up

Recording preferences

There are two options available to change, the guard time and
the rewind buffer size. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons
to move between the two options and the LEFT and RIGHT
arrows to scroll through the available values for that option.

Recording guard time

A guard time is a small amount of time added to the start and
end of a recording to help protect against programmes starting slightly ahead of schedule or more
typically over-running their scheduled finishing time. There is obviously a small penalty for this
feature which is that you will use up more space for each recording with a guard time set. The
available settings are OFF

, 1, 3 or 5 minutes. As you can see the default setting is OFF to maximise

the available disk space for recordings.

Pause live TV

Your DTR automatically records and buffers the channel you are currently watching. The size of this
record buffer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the channel you are
watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the Pause live TV buffer
size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your hard disk drive for recording
other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it off to increase the available space
for recordings. The available settings are OFF, 15, 30

, 45 or 60 minutes.

If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buffer as is
available to add to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme from the start.

Messages

Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores for your
information. For example, your DTR is capable of having its
software upgraded automatically via the aerial. If you have any
messages waiting to be read, a small envelope icon will appear
as shown. To view any messages, select Messages from the
Main Menu or Set-Up menu. Once you have read your
messages, you may delete them by pressing the RED button.

Setting Up

Languages

Preferred audio language

This option sets the Preferred Audio Language output. In
a multi-language broadcast, your DTR will attempt to
acquire your preferred language. If your preferred
language is not available, your DTR will switch to the
default language.

Preferred subtitle language

This has the same action as Preferred Language, but for
Subtitles in place of the audio output itself.

To select an option, use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. To scroll around the possible languages,
use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons. The default Language is English

and the available options are

Welsh and Gaelic.

Help

This is a high level information screen that will tell you basic information about your DTR. If you
require further assistance please call the telephone number shown on-screen in the Help menu which
is option 6 in the Set-Up menu.

There is also an option to press the BLUE button for tuning
information. This screen shows the current status of the
two tuners, what channel number they are currently set to
and the Strength & Quality of the signals being received.
You can also change the channel a given tuner is set to
with the coloured buttons; RED & GREEN for Tuner 1 or
YELLOW & BLUE for Tuner 2.

Changing the channels that the tuners are set to may result
in you losing scheduled recordings. Please use this screen
with care or wait to be advised on how to use this screen
by one of our Customer Care Advisers.

Setting Up

Problems after installation

Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DTR. Leads having been
accidentally pulled out or worn out batteries in the remote control can also cause impairment.
If your unit does something unexpected while you are using it, please unplug it, wait a few seconds,
plug it in again, then wait for the lights on your DTR to change to solid RED or GREEN. If this fails

Standard

Information

If your DTR fails to respond

In very exceptional circumstances, your DTR may not respond as expected when switching it on.
If this does happen, it is most likely to have been caused by corruption of programmes stored on
your disk. This can occasionally cause the DTR to remain in standby mode or fail to respond to the
remote control while not displaying any picture. However, normal DTR operation can usually be
restored, by performing a reset as noted below.

WARNING
Resetting your DTR can cause all saved programmes to be lost.
These steps should only be taken after carefully checking all DTR connections and ensuring you
have working batteries in your DTR remote control.

Check the lights (LEDs) on the front panel of your DTR.

Scenario 1 – No LEDs

• Check the mains lead is properly inserted to the back panel.

• Check the wall socket works by plugging in another appliance.

• Check the fuse in the plug. Only replace with a 3A fuse complying with BS1362.

Ask an electrician for help if you are not sure what to check.

Scenario 2 – Continuously flashing red LED

This means the DTR has encountered an error but it can usually be restored. The following sequence
will restore the settings of your DTR to the factory default and will retain your saved programmes.

• Unplug the mains power or switch off your DTR at the wall socket.

• Wait 5 seconds.

• Restore the power while pressing and holding the front panel power button for 10 seconds,
all 4 LEDs will light up for 3 seconds.

• Wait 45 seconds for the DTR to complete the reset procedure.

• Select the DTR input on your TV and check for a picture.

Scenario 3 – Solid red LED

This means the DTR has encountered an error that cannot be easily restored. The following sequence
will restore the settings of your DTR to the factory default and also

delete all saved programmes from

the internal storage.

• Unplug the mains power or switch off your DTR at the wall socket.

• Wait 5 seconds.

• Restore the power while pressing and holding the front panel MENU button for 10 seconds.

• Wait 45 seconds for the DTR to complete the reset procedure.

• Select the DTR input on your TV and check for a picture.

Further Connections

The supplied scart lead allows rapid connection to your TV, in order to get you going as quickly and
easily as possible. If you should wish to adopt the more advanced connections please purchase
additional leads as explained below.

Add a second scart lead to link the VCR SCART socket on your DTR to the
AV1/EXT1/AUX1 socket of your VCR. This connection will allow you to archive
to a permanent media. If your VCR supports auto-start recording, then the DTR
will control the VCR automatically.

Use a pair of stereo coax phono leads to connect the L/R AUDIO OUT socket
on your DTR to the L/R AUDIO IN of your hi-fi or home cinema unit, giving
you higher quality sound when you use your DTR.

NOTE: Audio sockets are generally identified by colour. White for Left and Red for Right.
