Overview
1.1Introduction
The TF6000F digital receiver is fully compliant with the international digital video broadcasting standard, and can play digital satellite services. To operate it, you need a satellite antenna, which must be installed and directed at the required satellite.
Unlike analogue broadcasting, digital television and radio services are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, several television and radio are transmitted by a single transponder.
To help you with the choice and settings for satellite services, a selection of television and radio services have already been programmed for you. You can do service search so that all the satellite services that have since gone on air are available to you. Of course, you can easily program new services yourself. You can find the current transponder information on teletext from various broadcasters.
The TF6000F digital receiver has the features as follows:
2 |
Overview |
•This digital receiver supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS (DiSEqC).
•This digtial receiver saves up to 5000 TV and radio services.
•You can edit the service list and make your own favorite service list.
•You can view the program guide
•You can view the information of a TV programme.
•You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to the latest, which will be provided by Topfield.
Refer to Section A.1 on page 40 for detailed features.

Installation
2.1Packing Contents
Unpack your receiver and check the following cables and accessories are also included in the package:
•1 remote control.
•2 batteries (AAA 1.5 V).
•1 user manual
2.2Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully for your safety.
•The mains supply must be 90 to 250 volt. Check it before connecting the digital receiver to the mains supply.
•This digital receiver is designed to receive, record and play back video and audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.
6 |
Installation |
•When setting up the digital receiver, make sure it is in a horizontal position and that the mains socket is easily accessible.
•Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture. The digital receiver is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or splashing water. Do not place any vessels such as vases on the digital receiver. These may be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical components, thus presenting a safety risk.
•Do not place the digital receiver close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling. Place the digital receiver on a hard, level surface. Do not lay any objects such as magazines on the digital receiver. When placed in a cabinet, make sure there is a minimum space of 10 cm around it.
•Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the digital receiver player is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
•Never open the digital receiver casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

2.6.1 LNB Setting
Satellite Name
LNB Frequency
LNB Power
22 kHz
The LNB (Low Noise Block) down-converter amplifies the signal received by the antenna and lowers the frequency of the signal. The signal is then fed from the LNB to the digital receiver.
To configure the LNB setting, select the Installation > LNB Setting menu.

Pressing £OK ¢button displays the satellite list, which is listed in alphabetical order. Select one of the preprogrammed satellites that corresponds to the direction of the antenna. If a desired satellite is not in the list, then select Other.
Select the local oscillator frequency of the LNB. You can input the frequency with the numeric buttons.
Set this parameter to on to supply the LNB with power.
If you have a 22 kHz tone switch box and wish to enable it, set this parameter to on. If the LNB Frequency parameter is set to Universal LNB, this parameter is not available.

DiSEqC 1.1 and DiSEqC 1.0
This digital receiver is designed to be DiSEqC 1.1 compatible. This allows multiple antennas to be connected to one digital receiver at the same time. If you have two or more fixed antennas, then it is recommended to use a DiSEqC 1.1 switch.
If you have an only DiSEqC 1.1 switch, it is possible to connect up to 4 antennas. Set the DiSEqC 1.0 to Disable and select an item in DiSEqC1.1. If you use a DiSEqC1.1 switch and DiSEqC 1.0 switches, it is possible to connect up to 16 antennas. Connect the DiSEqC1.1 switch to the digital receiver and connect the DiSEqC 1.0 switches to the DiSEqC1.1 switch.
Set the DiSEqC 1.1 parameter and DiSEqC 1.0 parameter according to the antenna configuration. For example, to select A7 in the figure, set the DiSEqC1.1 parameter to 2 of 4 and the
DiSEqC1.0 parameter to 3 of 4.
