1.1 Introduction

The TF 6000 PVRt digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and can receive digital broadcastings. For its operation, you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.

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.

Chapter 1

Introduction

NOTE A transponder is in fact a wireless device, which re-

ceives and transmits radio signals at a prescribed frequency range. However, 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 ser-

Page 10

2 Introduction

vices, a selection of television and radio services have already 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 6000 PVRt digital receiver has features as follows:

• The digtial receiver is able to memorize up to 2000 tele-

vision and radio services.

• Electronic program guide provides an overview of pro-

gram schedules for next few hours.

• You can edit the service list and make your own favorite

service 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 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 backward or forward search.

• During a recording in progress, you can select a different

program from the archive and watch it.

Page 11

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 receiver plugged to a wall outlet so as it can run timer events.

1.2.1 The front panel

The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to operate the digital receiver, and lamps and a display to indicate its status. Their usage is as follows:

play back video and audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

• When setting up the digital receiver, make sure it is in a

horizontal position.

• 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, 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 bring about a risk.

2.2 Safety precautions 9

• Use only dry cloth when cleaning the digital receiver.

• 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 and 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. For the physical speciﬁcation of the digital receiver, refer to Table 2.2.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, receptacles and the point where

Page 18

10 Setup

they exit from the digital receiver.

• Only use accessories speciﬁed by the manufacturer.

• Thunderstroms are a danger to all of electrical devices.

Even if the digital receiver is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the power line or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the power plug and the antenna cable.

• Never open the digital receiver casing under any cir-

cumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for the damage resulting from improper handling.

• Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Servic-

ing is required when the digital receiver has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilt, objects have fallen into the digital receiver, or the digital receiver has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped.

2.4 Connecting the digital receiver

There are several ways to set up the digital receiver as described below. 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 or service provider.

You should conﬁgure audio and video settings after setup. For detailed descriptions about audio and video settings, refer to

§ 3.2.

Page 21

2.4 Connecting the digital receiver 13

Connecting to the terrestrial antenna

Connect the antenna cable to the ANT1 IN socket on the digital receiver, and then connect the RF LOOP 1 OUT socket and the ANT 2 IN socket with a loop 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.

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 cor-

responding input sockets on your television or audio appliance.

Connecting to the television by YUV connector

Plug a standard component video cable into the Y (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the digital receiver and the cor-

responding input sockets on your television. You must connect audio sockets on the digitral receiver with ones on your television by a RCA cable because the YUV sockets outputs only video signals.

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.

Page 22

14 Setup

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.

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. Close the battery compartment after that.

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 Batteries, including those which contain no heavy met-

als, 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.

3.1 Language settings

You can designate languages for menu, audio track and subtitle track.

Chapter 3

Preference Settings

To designate the language for menu, audio track or subtitle

track, select the System Setting

> Language Setting menu.

Menu language

The digital receiver supports a lot of menu languages: Arabic, Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish

and so forth. Set the Menu Language option to your desired

Page 24

16 Preference Settings

language. Once you select a language, the menu will be immediately displayed in the selected language.

Subtitle language

Set the 1st Subtitle Language and 2nd Subtitle Language op-

tions to your desired languages. If a program does not have

the subtitle track of the language set to the 1st Subtitle Lan- guage, that set to the 2nd Subtitle Language option will be

output. If it does not have the second’s subtitle track either, no subtitle will be output.

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 § 5.1.4.

Audio language

Set the 1st Audio Language and 2nd Audio Language options

to your desired languages. If the program does not have the

subtitle track of the language set to the 1st Audio Language option, that set to the 2nd Audio Language option will be out-

put. If it does not have the second’s audio track either, an ordinary audio track will be output.

Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with button when you watch a program. For detailed descriptions about how to select an audio track, refer to § 5.1.3.

3.2 Video and audio settings

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

Page 25

3.2.1 Televsion standard

The digital receiver supports two types of television standard. One is PAL standard, and the other is NTSC 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 is broadcasted in 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 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 stadard television you have.

3.2 Video and audio settings 17

To conﬁgure the video and au-

dio settings, select the System

Setting > A/V Output Setting

menu.

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 Euro-

Page 26

18 Preference Settings

connector. Through this socket, the digital receiver is able to output video signals of various color models: CVBS, S-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 dig-

ital 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.

Similarly, if you have done by YUV connectors (Y, Pb and Pr), you have to set this option to YUV because of the same reason.

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 least. Anyway, 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

television sets 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 out-

Page 27

put 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 playback. But if the option is set to Ex- ternal 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.

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

54 Topﬁeld Application Program

Topﬁeld Application Program

If you are good at programming with C++ language, you can make a program executable in the digital receiver. We call this Topﬁeld Application Program (TAP). In making a TAP, it is recommended to use Diab compiler of Wind River, whose web site address is http://www.windriver.com. Some variants of GCC compiler also might perhaps be available as a compiler for TAPs. You can get the Application Program Interface (API) libraries for TAPs from the Topﬁeld web site, http://www.i-topfield.com.

Your TAPs will be run under the following conditions:

Chapter 8

• Their extension name is tap. If they have any other ex-

tension name, they will be ignored.

• They are in the Program Files folder. If they are in other

folders, they will be ignored.

For how to transfer your program to the digital receiver, refer to § 10.3 or Chapter 9.

The Wireless networking is also used for accessing the IceTV Electronic Program Guide. For instructions on conﬁguring for IceTV please visit http://www.icetv.com.au/topfield.

The TF 6000PVRt digital receiver has a web server and a FTP server which you can access through Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). You can set a timer recording or download a record ﬁle by the web service of the digital receiver. Here you need an Access Point (AP), which will connect the digital receiver with your computer or the Internet.

To use the web service of the digital receiver, you should perform the following steps:

Chapter 9

Receiver

tions that should only be used by owners with advanced computer knowledge.

1. Conﬁguring an access point for the digital receiver.

2. Conﬁguring the WLAN settings of the digital receiver.

Page 65

9.1 Conﬁguring the access point 57

3. Accessing the home page of the digital receiver.

Refer to § 9.3 for detailed descriptions about things you can use on the web service of the digital receiver.

NOTE The web server and FTP server of the digital receiver

don’t work in standby mode. So it must be powered up all the time if you wish to use the web service at any time.

9.1 Conﬁguring the access point

In this section, the setup program of WRT54G, which is an access point manufactured by Linksys, will be refered to as an exemplary description to help your understanding of how to conﬁgure your access point for the digital receiver’s wireless connection. For detailed descriptions of how to set up the access point, refer to the manual of your access point.

9.1.1 To access the digital receiver indoors

Once your access point is powered up, whether it is connected to the Internet or not, a local area network is created.

You can let the access point automatically assign a dynamic IP address to a computer or device connected to the network by enabling the DHCP server of the access point. In this case, you can access the digital receiver if you know the IP address which is assigned to the digital receiver by the access point.

For how to verify the dynamic IP address assigned, refer to §

9.2.1.

If the digital receiver reboots, a new dynamic IP address will be assigned to it. You have to assign a static IP address to

Page 66

58 Accessing to The Digital Receiver

the digital receiver to avoid this inconvenience. To assign a static IP address, you have to disable the DHCP server of the access point and register an available IP address to the digital receiver. For thow to assign a static IP address, refer to § 9.2.2.

9.1.2 To access the digital receiver outdoors

When you are outdoors, you can access the digital receiver in your home if your access point is conﬁgured to route your request to the digital receiver by port forwarding. By this feature, the access point will connect you to the digital receiver when you try to access it with the IP address of the access point.

Your access point may be assigned to a dynamic IP address by a Internet Service Provider (ISP). So if the access point has rebooted, you cannot access it as long as someone in your home does not inform you of the changed IP address. However, many access points support Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) service, which can settle this problem.

Page 67

9.2 Conﬁguring the digital receiver’s WLAN settings 59

If you use a DDNS service, you can access the access point with the domain name that you speciﬁed for it not a IP address.

How to use the DDNS service is as follows:

1. Join a web site of which DDNS service is supported by

your access point.

2. Conﬁgure the access point with your account of the web

site.

When a new dynamic IP address is assigned to the access point, it will inform the DDNS service provider of the new IP address. This makes it possible that you can access the access point with its domain name at any time.

9.2 Conﬁguring the digital receiver’s WLAN settings

To conﬁgure or identify the wireless local area network (WLAN) settings, select the

Installation > WLAN Setting

menu.

Page 68

60 Accessing to The Digital Receiver

9.2.1 WLAN status

There are two modes for Network type. One is infrastructure

mode and the other is ad-hoc mode. Infrastucture mode allows a wirelss LAN to be integrated into an existing wired network through an access point (AP). Ad-hocs mode is used for a simple peer-to-peer network. This mode only allows the sharing of local resources between wireless clients without an AP.

TX Rate shows the transfer rate between the digital receiver

and the AP or other wireless clients.

Channel is automatically assigned to if Network Type is set to Infratstructure.

Security shows the encryption type speciﬁed. IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway show the network in-

fromation speciﬁed.

MAC Address shows the media access control address of the

digital receiver.

A service set identiﬁer (SSID) is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a wireless local

area network. SSID shows the

network accessed by the digital receiver at the present.
