Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The TF 5200 PVRc digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
can receive digital broadcastings.
Unlike analog broadcastings, digital broadcastings are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; 1instead, several television
and radio broadcastings are transmitted through a single transponder on a single wideband carrier.
NOTE A transponder is in fact a wireless device, which re-
ceives and transmits radio signals at a prescribed frequency range. You may regard a transponder as a
channel. One channel has one broadcasting in analog broadcast; on the other hand, one transponder has
several broadcastings in digital broadcast. So the word
service is used instead of channel to indicate a broadcasting in this document.
To help you with the choice and setting for broadcasting services, a selection of television and radio services have already
Page 8
2 Introduction
been programmed for you. So all broadcasting services that
have gone on air are available to you. You can find the latest
transponder information from various broadcasters on teletext.
The TF 5200 PVRc digital receiver has features as follows:
• The digtial receiver is able to memorize up to 2000 tele-
vision and radio services.
• Electronic Program Guide (EPG) provides an overview
of program schedules for next few hours.
• You can edit the service list and make your own favorite
service list.
• You can view the information of a current television or
radio program.
• You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to
the latest, which will be provided by Topfield.
• Thedigital receiver features a digital video recorder with
two tuners, with which you can record your choice of
broadcasting services independently of ones you are currently watching.
• The large storage capacity of the built-in hard disk al-
lows you to record up to 40 hours of material—in case
of 80 gigabytes—in excellent picture and sound quality.
• Time shift function is a special technical feature. You
can pause the program you are watching and resume it
again at a later time. You can quickly find whatever part
of the current program by reverse or forward search.
• During a recording in progress, you can select a different
program from the archive and watch it.

1.3 What is common interface
Some broadcasting services are scrambled so that only paid
subscribers can enjoy them. Scrambled services can only be
viewed with a Conditonal Access Module (CAM) and a subscription card suitable for the scrambling system.
Common Interface (CI) is an interface for conditional access modules. The front of the digital receiver has a common interface slot. You
can use conditional access modules from various providers in the slot.
To watch a scrambled broadcastings, you should take the following steps:
Page 13
1.3 What is common interface 7
1. Purchase a conditional access module and a subscrip-
tion card for the pay service you want to watch.
2. insert the conditional access module to the common in-
terface slot on the front of the digital receiver.
3. Insert the subscription card into the conditional access
module.
To view what conditional access
module is inserted, select the
Common Interface menu.
If any module has not been inserted yet, a phrase Not Installed
will be displayed.

2.4 Connecting the digital receiver
There are several ways to install the digital receiver as described below. Install the digital receiver suitably to your television and other appliances. If you have any problem with
your installation or need a help, contact your dealer or service
provider.
You should configure audio and video settings after installation. For detailed descriptions about audio and video settings,
refer to § 3.2.
Connecting to the broadcasting cable
Connect the antenna cable to the CABLE 1 IN socket on the
digital receiver, and then connect the RF LOOP 1 OUT socket
and the CABLE 2 IN socket with a loop-through cable.
If you have another digital receiver, plug another cable into
the RF LOOP 2 OUT socket on the digital receiver and the
corresponding socket on the other digital receiver.
Page 19
2.4 Connecting the digital receiver 13
Connecting to the television by SCART connector
Plug a SCART cable into the TV socket on the digital receiver
and the corresponding SCART socket on your television.
Connecting to the television by RCA connector
Plug a RCA cable into the VIDEO (yellow), AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver and the corresponding input sockets on your television or audio appliance.
Connecting to the television by S-Video connector
Plug a standard S-Video cable into the S-VIDEO socket on the
digital receiver and the corresponding input socket on your
television. You must connect audio sockets on the digital receiver with ones on your television by a RCA cable because
the S-video socket outputs only video signals.
Connecting to the video recorder by SCART connector
Plug one end of the SCART cable into the VCR socket on the
digital receiver. Then, plug the other end of the SCART cable into the input SCART socket on your video recorder if
you wish to record a broadcasting program with your video
recorder; otherwise if you wish to watch the video that the
video recorder plays back just through the digital receiver,
plug the other end into the output SCART socket.
Connecting to the television by RF connector
Connect the analog broadcasting antenna cable to the RF IN
socket on the digital receiver, and then plug a RF cable into the
RF OUT socket on the digital receiver and the corresponding
input socket on your television.

language. Once you select a language, the menu will be displayed in the selected language immediately.
Subtitle language
Set the Subtitle Language option to your desired language.
When you watch a program, a subtitle track of the selected
language will be output if the program has that.
Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with
button when you watch a program. For detailed descriptions
about how to select a subtitle track, refer to § 5.5.
Audio language
Set the Audio Language option to your desired language. When
you watch a program, an audio track of the selected language

button when you watch a program. For detailed descriptions
about how to select an audio track, refer to § 5.4.
3.2 Video and audio settings
You have to configure the video and audio settings appropriately to your television and appliances.
To configure the video and audio settings, select the System
Setting > A/V Output Setting
menu.
Page 23
3.2 Video and audio settings 17
3.2.1 Televsion standard
The digital receiver supports two types of television standard.
One is PAL (Phase Alternating Line) standard, and the other
is NTSC (National Television Standards Commitee) standard.
PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted
in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.
If you have a PAL televsion, you have to set the TV Type op-
tion to PAL. In this case, if a service you wish to watch is NTSC
standard, the digital receiver converts it into PAL standard for
your PAL television. However, its quality would somewhat
fall. The opposite case brings about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television
and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. However, the auto television is able to process both of them. So if
you have an auto television, set the TV Type option to Multi.
With this option, the digital receiver will output them without
standard conversion. This setting is most recommended especially if you are not sure what stadard television you have.
3.2.2 Color model
The type of the socket that reads TV on the back panel of
the digital receiver is SCART. This is also known as Euroconnector. Through this socket, the digital receiver is able to
output video signals of various color models: CVBS (Composite Video Baseband Signal), S-Video (Super-Video), YUV
and RGB. Audio signals are also output together through this
socket.
If you have connected the digital receiver and your televsion
by this connector, you should set the Video Output option to
your desired color model. If you have connected them by RCA
connector at which VIDEO reads on the back panel of the digital receiver, you do not have to set this option because the
digital receiver outputs CVBS video through RCA connector
Page 24
18 Preference Settings
independent of SCART connector.
However, If you have connected them by S-VIDEO connector,
you have to this option to S-Video because the output through
S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface.
It is known in general that YUV color model provides the
best video quality with little difference from RGB color model
while CVBS color model does the worst. However, not all televisions with a SCART socket support YUV color model. Make
sure your television supports YUV color model before setting
the Video Output option to YUV. But there would rarely be
televisions that have a SCART socket but do not support RGB
color model. So RGB would be the most desirable value for
this option.
3.2.3 Video cassette recorder
The SCART socket that reads VCR on the back panel of the
digital receiver is for a video recorder. You would have connected the digital receiver to your video recorder or such an
appliance by this connector.
If you have connected the VCR socket to the input SCART
socket of your video recorder, you have to set the VCR Scart
Type option to Standard. If you have connected it to the output SCART socket, the digital receiver will operate differently
depending on the setting of the VCR Scart Type option. If
the option is set to Standard, the digital receiver will pass the
video from the video recorder to your television when the
video recorder starts a playback. But if the option is set to
External A/V, the digital receiver will not pass the video even
though the video recorder starts a playback. To pass it, you
have to press button.
NOTE In this case, it is impossible that the digital receiver
records the video which the video recorder plays back
Page 25
3.2 Video and audio settings 19
because the digital receiver is just a bypass for the video
recorder.
3.2.4 Television aspect ratio
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
You can enjoy well both wide-screen programs and normalscreen programs with your wide-screen television as the above
figures show. The left figure shows a wide picture displayed
in the wide screen, and the right figure shows a normal picture
displayed in the wide screen.
If you have a normal-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 4:3.
You cannot enjoy well wide-screen programs with your normalscreen television as the above figures show. The left figure
shows a normal picture displayed in the normal screen. To
watch wide-screen programs in the shape like the center figure, set the 16:9 Display Format option to Letter Box; then,
wide-screen pictures will be reduced to fit to the width of the
normal screen. Otherwise to watch them in the shape like the
right figure, set the option to Center extract; then, wide-screen
Page 26
20 Preference Settings
pictures will be cut out on the left and right sides equally to fit
to the width of the normal screen.
3.2.5 Sound mode
Basically, there are two audio sources as you can find two audio sockets on the back panel of the digital receiver. You can
enjoy only one source or both of them in either stereo or mono.
Set the Sound Mode option as you desire.
Apart from this setting, you can change the sound mode with
button when you watch a program. For detailed descrip-
tions about how to change the sound mode, refer to § 5.4.
3.2.6 RF output
If you have connected your television to the RF OUT socket,
you should configure the RF output. The digital receiver can
make an analog television from a digital television and output
it through the RF OUT socket.
Set the RF Output option to the television standard that your
country supports refering to Table 3.1.
Table 3.1: Television standards by country

Kapitel 1
Allgemein
1.1 Einführung
Der digitale Receiver TF 5200 PVRc ist für den Empfang digitaler Inhalte von Fernsehen und Radio im DVB Standard Digital Video Broadcasting bestimmt. Bei der digitalen Übertragung können sich mehrere Sender eine Frequenz teilen, wohingegen in der analogen Übertragung je ein Sender eine Frequenz vollständig belegt. Das bedeutet, dass mehrere Fernsehund Radioprogramme auf demselben Transponder übertragen werden können.
Hinweis Der Transponder ist ein Gerät, das von Rundfunk-
sendern ausgehende Signale aufnimmt und in einem vorgegebenen, anderen Frequenzbereich wieder abstrahlt. Er stellt Übertragungskapazitäten für
mehrere Rundfunksender und deren Inhalte zur Verfügung. Es verhält sich also nicht so wie bei der analogen Rundfunkübertragung, wo pro Sender ein Kanal belegt wird. Um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden, soll daher im Folgenden auch nicht mehr von
Kanal gesprochen werden.
Page 84
2 Allgemein
Um Ihnen die Auswahl und Einrichtung zu erleichtern, ist der
Receiver ab Werk für die wichtigsten Fernseh- und Radiosender vorprogrammiert. Diese Sender sollten daher verfügbar
sein, sofern sie auf Sendung sind. Selbstverständlich können
Sie weitere Sender nach Ihrem Belieben hinzufügen. Aktuelle Transponder-Informationen erhalten Sie über Videotext bei
den verschiedenen Sendern.
Der TF 5200 PVRc ist durch folgende Features gekennzeichnet:
• Speicherung von bis zu 2000 Fernseh- und Radiosen-
dern
• Elektronische Programmzeitschrift (Electronic Program
Guide) ermöglicht Übersichten über laufende und kommende Fernseh- und Radioprogramme
• Bearbeiten von Senderlisten und Anlegen eigener Favo-
ritenlisten
• Aufruf von Informationen zu laufenden Fernseh- oder
Radioprogrammen über die Info-Box
• Regelmäßige Firmware-Updates von Topfield, um Ihr
Gerät auf den aktuellen Stand zu bringen
• Zwei Tuner zur zweifachen Aufnahme bei gleichzeitiger
Ansicht eines weiteren Senders (Voraussetzung: Ein Programm muss sich auf einem der Aufnahmetransponder
befinden)
• Wiedergabe einer gespeicherten Aufzeichnung von der
Festplatte während laufender Aufzeichnungen
• Große Aufnahmekapazität von ca. 80 Stunden in exzel-
lenter Bild- und Tonqualität
• Time-Shift Funktion für zeitversetztes Fernsehen
• Mit dem schnellen Vor- und Rücklauf finden Sie schnell
jede gewünschte Stelle

1.3 Der Common-Interface-Schacht
Common Interface ist eine Schnittstelle von DVB-Empfangsgeräten. Man bezeichnet sie auch als CI-Schacht oder CI-Slot.
Diese Schächte sind zur Aufnahme von CI-Modulen gedacht,
deren häufigste Gruppe die Conditional Access Module (CAM)
bilden, die wiederum eine Smart-Card eines PayTV-Anbieters
aufnehmen können. Da die PayTV-Anbieter nicht alle dasselbe Verschlüsselungssystem einsetzen, müssen Sie beim Kauf
eines CAMs darauf achten, dass es für das Verschlüsselungssystem Ihres PayTV-Anbieters geeignet ist.
Von Ihrem Programmanbieter erhalten Sie dann
eine Smart-Card, auf welcher sich die Schlüssel, die der Entschlüsselung der empfangenen
DVB-Daten dienen, befinden. Jeder Programmanbieter hat seine eigene Smart-Card. Wenn
Ihre Smart-Card nicht zum Verschlüsselungssystem des CAMs passt, so kann keine Entschlüsselung des Programms erfolgen.
Wenn Sie Kunde eines Bezahl-Senders sind und sich die verschlüsselten Sendungen ansehen möchten, führen Sie bitte folgende Schritte durch:
Page 91
1.3 Der Common-Interface-Schacht 9
1. Schieben Sie das Conditional Access Modul (CAM) in
einen der beiden CI-Schächte an der Vorderseite des digitalen Receivers ein.
2. Schieben Sie die Smart-Card in das Conditional Access
Modul (CAM) ein.
Um zu überprüfen, welches
CAM eingelegt worden ist, gehen Sie ins Menü unter Com-
mon Interface
Falls kein Modul eingesteckt ist,
erscheint nicht installiertauf dem
Bildschirm.

2.4 Anschluss des digitalen Receivers
Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten den Receiver anzuschließen. Im Folgenden werden Ihnen die gängigsten Möglichkeiten beschrieben, wie Sie den digitalen Receiver an Fernsehgeräte sowie an Video- und Audiogeräte anschließen können.
Sollten Sie dennoch Probleme haben, fragen Sie bitte einen
Fachhändler.
Wenn alle Anschlüsse hergestellt sind, sollten Sie die Videound Audioeinstellungen vornehmen. Näheres hierzu finden
Sie unter § 3.2.
Connecting to the broadcasting cable
Sollten Sie nur ein broadcasting cable zur Verfügung haben,
so schließen Sie das Kabel an den CABLE 1 IN Anschluss des
digitalen Receivers an. Dann verbinden Sie den Ausgang RF
LOOP 1 OUT mit dem Anschluss CABLE 2 IN mittels eines
Durchschleifkabels.
Möchten Sie einen weiteren digitalen Receiver anschließen,
schließen Sie ihn an RF LOOP 2 OUT an. (Allerdings: Falls Sie
kein Durchschleifkabel verwenden, müssen Sie den zweiten
Page 97
2.4 Anschluss des digitalen Receivers 15
Receiver an RF LOOP 1 OUT anschließen. Beachten Sie bitte,
dass der Durchschleifausgang nur dann in Betrieb ist, wenn
Ihr TF 5200 PVRc eingeschaltet ist.)
Anschluss an das Fernsehgerät über Scart
Schließen Sie das Scart-Kabel an den Ausgang TV des digitalen Receivers und an den entsprechenden Eingang Ihres Fernsehgerätes an.
Anschluss an das Fernsehgerät über Cinch-Steckverbinder (RCA jack)
Stecken Sie die Cinch-Stecker in die vorgesehenen Buchsen
Video, Audio L/R am digitalen Receiver. Beachten Sie dabei
die Farben: VIDEO (gelb), AUDIO links (weiss), AUDIO rechts
(rot). Entsprechend gehen Sie dann auch bei Ihrem Fernsehgerät oder Audiogerät vor.
Anschluss an das Fernsehgerät über S-VIDEO
Schließen Sie ein genormtes S-Video-Kabel an den S-VIDEOAusgang des digitalen Receivers und an den entsprechenden
Eingang am Fernsehgerät an. Bei dieser Möglichkeit müssen
Sie allerdings die Audioausgänge über Cinch-Steckverbinder
extra anschließen (Buchsen Audio L/R), da über den S-VideoAusgang nur Videosignale ausgegeben werden.
Anschluss an den Videorekorder über Scart
Schließen Sie das Scart-Kabel an den Ausgang VCR des digitalen Receivers und an den entsprechenden Eingang Ihres
Videorekorders an. Auf diese Weise können Sie eine übertragene Sendung mit dem Videorekorder aufzeichnen. Möchten
Sie sich jedoch mit dem Videorekorder aufgezeichnete Sendungen über den digitalen Receiver ansehen, stecken Sie das
Scart-Kabel in den Ausgang Ihres Videorekorders. Sie können
hier aber auch andere AV-Geräte, wie z.B. einen DVD-Player
Page 98
16 Anschluss des digitalen Receivers
anschliessen, dessen Signal dann an das Fernsehgerät durchgereicht wird, wenn Sie dieses Gerät einschalten. Diese Möglichkeit kann von Interesse sein, wenn Ihr Fernsehgerät nicht
über einer ausreichende Anzahl an Scart-Buchsen verfügen
sollte um alle Geräte separat anschliessen zu können.
Hinweis In diesem Fall ist es nicht möglich, das Eingangssi-
gnal an diesem Anschluss auf dem digitalen Receiver aufzuzeichnen, da der digitale Receiver nur eine
Umleitung für diesen Eingang ist. Es werden alle Signalarten (RGB, YUV, S-Video, FBAS) des hier angeschlossenen Gerätes unverändert an den TV-Ausgang
weitergeleitet
Anschluss an das Fernsehen durch RF Stecker
Schließen Sie das analoge übertragende Antenne Kabel an die
RF IN Einfaßung auf dem digitalen Empfänger, an und verstopfen Sie dann ein Rf Kabel in die RF OUT Einfaßung auf
dem digitalen Empfänger und in die entsprechende Eingang
Einfaßung auf Ihrem Fernsehen.
2.5 Einlegen der Batterien in die Fernbedienung
Um die Batterien einzulegen, öffnen Sie bitte das Batteriefach,
indem Sie die Lasche der Abdeckung nach oben ziehen. Achten Sie dabei bitte auf die richtige Polarität (siehe Kennzeichnung im Schacht). Schließen Sie danach bitte wieder das Batteriefach.
Hinweis Batterien können Giftstoffe enthalten und daher Ge-
sundheit und Umwelt schädigen. Werfen Sie Batterien niemals in den normalen Hausmüll, sondern
entsorgen Sie sie unbedingt entsprechend den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen.
