1.1 Introduction

The TF5400 PVR Combo digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and can receive digital broadcasts. For its operation, you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.

Chapter 1

Introduction

NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However, unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as­signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre­quency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To reduce confusion, the word service is prefer­ably used than channel as the term indicating one television or radio broadcast in this document.
The TF 5400 PVR Combo digital receiver has features as fol­lows:
• It supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US­ALS.
2 Introduction
• It is able to memorize up to 5000 television and radio services.
• Electronic program guide provides an overview of pro­gram schedules for next few hours.
• You can edit the service list.
• You can make your favorite list.
• You can view the information of the current television or radio program.
• You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to the latest, which will be provided by the manufacturer.
• The digital 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 al­lows you to record up to 40 hours of material—in case of 80 gigabytes—in excellent picture and sound quality.
• Time shift 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 backward or forward search.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can control the digital receiver with the remote control and the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged to a wall outlet, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is on, it is in operation mode. You should keep the digital

1.3 What is common interface?

Some broadcasts are scrambled so that only paid subscribers can enjoy them. Scrambled services can only be viewed with a Conditional Access Module (CAM) and a subscription card belonging with the scrambling system.
Common Interface (CI) is an interface for condi­tional access modules. The front of the digital receiver has two common interface slots.
To watch a pay service, you should take the following steps:
1. Purchase a conditional access module and a subscrip­tion card for the pay service you want to watch.
2. Insert the subscription card into the conditional access module.
3. insert the conditional access module to a common inter­face slot on the front of the digital receiver.
To view the information about the module and subscription card inserted to the digital re­ceiver, select the Common Inter- face menu.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13

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 ap­pliances. If you have any problem with your setup or need a help, contact your dealer.

2.4.1 Connecting to the antenna

Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital re­ceiver and the television, you need to connect the digital re­ceiver to your television antenna so that it can receive digital television services.
Connect a cable from your satellite antenna to the LNB IN connector on the back panel of the digital receiver, and connect a cable from your terrestrial antenna to the ANT connec­tor.

2.4.2 Connecting to your television

Among the following connectors on your digital receiver, you should use the first connector to get best video quality. If your television does not have the matching connector then use the next connector.
1. SCART connector (TV)
2. S-Video connector (S-VIDEO)
3. Composite connector (VIDEO)
4. RF connector (RF OUT)
You should configure audio and video settings after connect­ing. See § 3.2 for detailed description.
14 Setup
To use the SCART connector
Some televisions have inputs via Component or S-Video con­nectors rather than SCART. If you have such a television, use an appropriate conversion cable to link the TV socket on the digital receiver to the matching socket on your television.
If you connect with a standard SCART cable, you do not have to make audio connections because the SCART connector can output stereo audio. But if you do with a conversion cable, such as SCART-to-Component, you have to make audio con­nections.
To use the S-Video connector
For best results with a standard television set, you should use a SCART cable, plugging one end into the TV socket on the digital re­ceiver and the other end into a free SCART socket on your television.
You should prepare a S-Video cable to use the S-Video connector. Plug one ends of the cable into the S-VIDEO socket on the digital receiver, and the other end into the matching socket on your television.
To use the composite video connector
To connect the audio connectors
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 15
You should prepare a composite video ca­ble (RCA cable) to use the composite video connector. Plug one end of the cable into the VIDEO (yellow) socket on the digital re­ceiver, and the other end into the matching socket on your television.
You should prepare an audio cable (RCA ca­ble) to connect the audio connectors. Plug one ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white) and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and the other ends into the matching sockets on your television or au­dio system.
To enjoy Dolby digital audio, your televi­sion or audio system must be able to decode Dolby digital audio, and you should prepare a S/PDIF cable. Plug one end of the ca­ble into the S/PIDF socket on the digital re­ceiver, and the other end into the matching socket on your audio system.
To use the RF connector
If your television does not have any video and audio input, you will need to use the radio frequency output from the dig­ital receiver.
16 Setup
In this case, you will need to connect a ca­ble from the RF OUT socket to the antenna connector on your television. To ensure your television can also pick up existing analogue channels as well, you will need to connect a cable from your television antenna or from the RF LOOP OUT connector on the back of the digital receiver to RF IN connector.

2.4.3 Connecting to your video cassette recorder

The digital receiver also can output video to another appliance such as video cassette recorder or video receiver through an auxiliary SCART connector.
You should prepare a SCART cable to use the auxiliary SCART connector. Plug one end of the cable into the VCR socket on the digital receiver, and the other end into the match­ing socket on your video cassette recorder or suchlike.

2.5 Inserting batteries in the remote control

To insert the batteries, 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.
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to remote con­trol commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to remove used batteries. The manufacturer accepts no liability for dam­age resulting from leaking batteries.
NOTE
2.5 Inserting batteries in the remote control 17
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metals, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

language. Once you select a language, the menu will be im­mediately displayed in the selected language.
Set the 1st Subtitle Language and 2nd Subtitle Language op­tions to your desired languages. When you watch a program, if the program has the subtitle track of the langauge desig­nated at the 1st Subtitle Language, it will be displayed. If the first laguage is not available but the second language is avail­able, the second language’s subtitle will be displayed. If there is not any available language, no subtitle will be displayed.
Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with the
button. See § 5.1.4 for detailed description.
Set the 1st Audio Language and 2nd Audio Language options to your desired languages. When you watch a program, if the program has the audio track of the language designated at the 1st Audio Language, it will be output. If the first language is not available but the second language is available, the second language’s audio will be output. If there is not any available language, an ordinary audio will be output.
Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with button. See § 5.1.3 for detailed description.

3.2 Video and audio settings

You have to configure the video and audio settings appropri­ately to your television set and appliances.
20 Preference Settings

3.2.1 Television standard

The digital receiver supports two types of television standard. One is the PAL standard, and the other is the NTSC stan­dard. PAL was adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA, Canada, Mexico and so forth.
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type op- tion to PAL. In this case, if a service is broadcasted in NTSC standard, the digital receiver converts it into the 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 multi television set is able to process both of them. So if you have an multi television set, 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 standard tele­vision you have.
To configure the video and au­dio settings, select the System
Setting > A/V Output Setting
menu.

3.2.2 Color model

Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able to output video in various color models. If you have the digi-
tal receiver linked to your television from 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 independent of SCART connec­tor.
However, If you have connected them by S-VIDEO connec­tor, you have to set this option to S-Video because the output through S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface.
It is known in general that the RGB color model provides the best video quality with little difference from the YUV color model but the CVBS color model does the least. So RGB would be most desirable for this option.

3.2.3 Video cassette recorder

You would have the digital receiver linked to your video cas­sette recorder or such an appliance from the VCR SCART. The digital receiver will operate differently depending on the set­ting of the VCR Scart Type option. If the option is set to Stan- dard, the digital receiver will pass the video from the video recorder to your television when the video recorder starts 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 playback. To pass it, you have to press button.
3.2 Video and audio settings 21
NOTE
In this case, it is impossible that the digital receiver records the video that the video recorder plays back 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.
22 Preference Settings
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 fully enjoy 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. Wide- screen pictures then 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. Wide-screen pic­tures then 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
3.3 Local time setting 23
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. See § 5.1.3 for detailed description.

3.2.6 RF output

If you have connected your television to the RF OUT socket, you should configure the radio frequency output. The digital receiver can make the analog television from the digital tele­vision and output it through the RF OUT socket.
Set the RF Output option to the television standard that your country supports referring to Table 3.1.

Set the RF Channel option to a channel number as you de­sire. You have to tune your television to the channel set to this option to watch television.
If you have connected your analog television antenna to the RF IN, you can watch analog broadcasts via the digital re­ceiver.

3.3 Local time setting

You should set your local time for timer events. If you did not set the local time right, the program time table provided
24 Preference Settings
by the electronic program guide may also be distrustful. Refer the electronic program guide to § 5.2.
You can set the local time either manually or automatically using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). However, it is recom­mended to use the Greenwich mean time.
To set the local time with GMT, perform the following steps:
Select the System Setting > Lo- cal Time Setting menu.
1. Set the Mode option to Auto.
2. Set the Time Offset option to the time difference belong-
ing to your time zone referring to Table 3.2.
With the above settings, the digital receiver will scan all transpon­ders specified one by one until to get the Greenwich mean time. Make sure that your local time is displayed right on the Local Time option.
To set the local time yourself, set the Mode option to Man- ual and enter your local time to the Local Time option with the numeric buttons. The time format is day/month/year 24- hour:minute.

3.4 Parental control

In general a television program is labeled a rating according to the level of violence, nudity and language of its content. When you are watching a program, you can check its program rating on the information box. Refer the information box to § 5.1.2.
You can prevent your children from watching specific pro­grams by specifying a basis rating.
26 Preference Settings
If you wish to restrict 15 or above rated programs, set the Cen­sorship option to 15 (age). Setting it to No block restricts no
program; on the other hand, setting it to Total block restricts every program.

Service Search

You have to perform service search after connecting the digital receiver.

4.1 Searching satellite broadcasting services

This digital receiver can be operated with both fixed and mo­torized antenna system. You have to configure antenna set­tings according to your antenna system in the following order:
29
Chapter 4
1. Configure LNB settings. (Refer to § 4.1.1.)
2. Set the position of your desired satellites if you have a motorized antenna. You can control the antenna in DiS­EqC 1.2 mode or USALS mode. Refer DiSEqC 1.2 to
§ 4.1.2, and refer USALS to § 4.1.3.
3. Perform service search.
4.1.1 Configuring LNB settings
There are in large two frequency bands for satellite broadcasts. One is C band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz.
30 Service Search
LNB
The other is Kuband which ranges approximately from 12 to 18 GHz.
The LNB (Low Noise Block converter) is used to take a wide band of rel­atively high frequencies, amplify and convert them to similar signals carried at a much lower frequency, which is called IF (Intermediate Frequency).
High frequencies from satellites are converted into from 950 to 2150 MHz by a LNB.
Select the Installation > Satellite Setting > LNB Setting menu to configure the LNB settings.
Pressing the

OK button on the Satellite Name option displays
the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite toward which your antenna sets its face.
The digital receiver has a database about broadcasting satel­lites and their transponders, containing the following infor­mation: satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, po­larization and LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency range. So you might not have to specify the LNB Frequency option. However, if you have selected the Other entry at the Satellite Name option to specify a satellite that is not in the
4.1 Searching satellite broadcasting services 31
satellite list, you might have to make out the correct LNB fre­quency. The difference between a broadcasting frequency and its LNB frequency must be within 950 to 2150 MHz. For exam­ple, if the frequency band of your desired satellite ranges from 3660 to 4118 MHz, you have to set the LNB Frequency option to 5150 MHz.
The LNB has to be supplied with power to operate. Set the LNB Power option to On if it does not have any other power supply.
You had better ignore the 22 kHz option.
The digital receiver is designed to be compatible with DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) switches. It is possible to connect several antennas to one digital receiver by DiSEqC switches. A DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows switching between up to 4 satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switching between up to 16 satellite sources.
Set the DiSEqC 1.0 and DiSEqC 1.1 options according to your antenna configuration.
For example, to select the antenna con­nected to the A5 input in the left fig­ure, set the DiSEqC 1.1 option to 2 of 4 and the DiSEqC 1.0 option to 1 of 4. If you have a mini DiSEqC 1.0 switch which has only two inputs, you should set the DiSEqC 1.0 option to Mini A in­stead of 1 of 4.
4.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings
Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satel­lites horizontally by DiSEqC 1.2.
32 Service Search
When you switch to an service, if the service is provided by a satellite other than current one, it will take longer time than usual because the antenna has to turn to its position.
To use DiSEqC 1.2, select the In-
stallation > Satellite Setting > Motorized DiSEqC 1.2 menu.
At first you have to set the Mo­torized DiSEqC 1.2 option to Enable.
To get the correct position of your desired satellite, perform the following steps:
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op­tion.
2. Set the DiSEqC Command Mode to User.
3. Select the Goto command at the Motor Control menu. Then the antenna will turn toward your selected satel­lite with the position data that the digital receiver has.
4. If the receiving quality, which is displayed on the right bottom on the screen, is not good, tune the antenna finely with the commands of the Movement menu. If you select the 2(E) movement command, the antenna will move to the east by two degrees. At this time you had bet­ter check the receiving quality of every transponder and choose the best one at the Transponder (or Frequency) option. It will be helpful to your fine tuning.

5. Finally select the Store command at the Motor Control menu to save the tuned position when the receiving qual­ity has turned good.
There are more motor control commands for installers, but this manual does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer them to the manual for the STAB rotor.
4.1.3 Configuring USALS settings
USALS (Universal Satellite Automatic Location System), also known as DiSEqC 1.3, calculates the positions of all available satellites from your location. Compared to DiSEqC 1.2, it is no longer required to manually search and store every satel­lite position. Just by pointing to a known satellite position is enough. This position will act as the central point. The USALS will then calculate positions of visible satellites.
To use USALS, select the Instal-
lation > Satellite Setting > US­ALS Setting menu.
At first you have to set the Mo­torized DiSEqC 1.3 option to Enable.
To calculate every satellite position, perform the following steps:
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op­tion.
2. Input your location to the My Longitude and My Latitude options with the
