Introduction
The CBP-2001CI+ digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder or multiplex. To reduce confusion in this manual,
the word service is preferably used than channel as a term
to indicate one television or radio broadcast.

1.1 Features
This digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2,000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• Can create lists of your favourite services.
2 Introduction
• Can view information about the current television or radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
• Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this
digital receiver. You can pause a programme you are
watching and resume it again at a later time. Then you
can quickly go to any part of the current programme by
fast forward or rewind search.
• If you have an external hard drive connected to the digital receiver via the USB port, you can record television
programmes into it.
• You can play back video files of various formats including DivX.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall
socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,
when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not
using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into
a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer
events at any time.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver
There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up the
digital receiver suitably to your television and other devices.
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact
your dealer.
2.4.1 Connecting to the broadcasting cable
Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to the
broadcasting cable so that it can receive digital television broadcasts. Connect the broadcasting cable to the CABLE IN connector. If
you have another digital receiver, you may
link it from the CABLE OUT connector.
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we recommend you to use the first connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.
1. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. Component connector (YPbPr)
3. SCART connector (TV)
4. Composite connector (VIDEO)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting up the digital receiver. See §4.2 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI output
NOTE
Illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual product.
To use the SCART output
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use an HDMI cable for best results. Plug oneend of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television. In this case, you do not have to
make audio connection because it can output
stereo audio or digital audio as well.
For best results with a standard television set,
you should use a SCART cable. Plug one end
of the cable into the TV socket on the digital
receiver, and plug the other end into a free
SCART socket on your television.
If you connect with a standard SCART cable, you do not have
to make audio connection because it can output stereo audio
as well. But if you use a conversion cable such as SCART-toComponent, then you have to make audio connection.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video by means of the
SCART output.
14 Setup
To use the Component video output
NOTE
When connecting with the Component video cable, remember to also plug in the additional white and red audio
cables from the digital receiverto the back of your television.
To use the Composite video output
You need to obtain a Component video cable (RCA cable) to use the Component video
output. Plug one ends of the cable into the Y
(green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the
digital receiver, and plug the other ends into
the matching sockets on your television.
You need to obtain a Composite video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Composite video output. Plug oneend of the cable into the VIDEO
(yellow) socket on the digital receiver, and
plug the other end into the matching socket
on your television.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video by meansof the Composite video output.
To make the audio connection
You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA cable) to link the audio connectors. Plug one
ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and plug the other ends into
the matching sockets on your television or
audio-video receiver.
To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television
or audio-video receiver must be able to decode Dolby Digital audio, and you need to
obtain an S/PDIF cable.
Plug one end of the cable into the S/PDIF
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
audio-video receiver.
2.4.3 Connecting to your video recorder
The digital receiver can also output video through an auxiliary
SCART connector to another device such as a video recorder.
You need to obtain a SCART cable to link the
auxiliary SCART connector. Plug one end
of the cable into the VCR socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the
matching socket on your video recorder or
suchlike.
2.5 Switching on for the first time 15
2.5 Switching on for the first time
Now that youhave your digitalreceiver connected, you should
plug it into a wall socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on and on the correct video channel so that you will be
able to see the display from the digital receiver.
16 Setup
Before switching on the digital receiver, you should insert batteries into the remote control. Open the battery compartment
by removing the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the
polarity, which is marked on the base of the battery compartment.

is good, you can skip to §3.1 to search for available television
and radio services. Otherwise, you may need to temporarily
connect the Composite video connector (VIDEO) to your television set so that you can see the menu in order to configure
the video settings.
