INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Personal Video Recorder (PVR).
This PVR is fully compliant with the international DVB standard and thus transmits digital
images, sounds, information guides and teletext directly to your TV through the satellite.
Now you can comfortably see and receive digitally transmitted music, news, movie and sports
satellite broadcasts in your office or at your home. The PVR records and playback satellite
broadcasts. You can enjoy interesting games embedded in PVR.
In the Channel Search section, both the automatic channel search method and the
manual search mode are provided. Also it supports DiSEqC 1.2, enabling you to move your
antenna in order to focus preferred satellite. You can save up to 3500 TV and 1500 Radio
channels and work around with the Favorite, Lock, Delete, Move and Sort functions.
The Menu is very modern and supports different languages. All functions can be carried out
using the remote control and some of the functions can also be carried out using the front panel.
The PVR is easy to use and adaptable for future advances. Please be aware that new
software may change the functions of the PVR.
If you have any difficulties concerning the operation of your PVR, please refer to the
relevant section of this manual, including the ‘Troubleshooting’. This Manual will provide you

INSTALLATION (Connection)
First, connect both the satellite antenna and the TV line to the PVR and switch the
power on.
In this manual there are some of the most common ways to connect the equipment:
TV, VCR and PVR.
There are several ways of connecting the PVR to the existing Audio/TV system.
We recommend one of the following setups.
If you have problems with your connections and need help, contact your dealer or
service provider.
1. Connection to TV, VCR and Hi-Fi
1-1) Connection to the TV with the SCART Cable.
Connect one end of the SCART cable to the
TV SCART socket on the PVR and the other
end to a SCART socket on the TV.
1-2) Connection to the VCR with the SCART Cable.
Connect one end of the SCART cable to the
VCR SCART socket on the PVR and the other
end to a SCART socket on the VCR.
10
1-3) Connection to the TV with the CINCH Cable.
Connect one end (3 connectors) of the CINCH
cable to the AUDIO-RIGHT (red),
AUDIO-LEFT (white) and the VIDEO
output (yellow) socket on the PVR.
Connect the other end (3 connectors) to the
AUDIO-RIGHT (red), AUDIO-LEFT
(white) and the VIDEO input
(yellow) socket on the TV or Hi-Fi.
1-4) Connection to the TV using the RF cable.
Connect a terrestrial antenna to RF IN socket
on the PVR.
Connect one end of the RF cable to the RF
OUT socket on the PVR.
Connect the other end to the ANT IN socket
on the TV.
2.Connection to the Antenna.
We recommend one of the following installation diagrams because of the LNB
specifications for selecting RF signal band by DC voltage and 22Khz tone.
If the PVR is installed with separated connection type, there is no restriction for
zapping while recording.
