Overview
1.1 Introduction
The TF6000T digital receiver is fully compliant with the international digital video broadcasting standard, and can play
digital terrestrial services. To operate it, you need a terrestrial
antenna, which must be installed and directed at the required
terrestrial.
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 terrestrial services, a selection of television and radio services have already
been programmed for you. You can do service search so that
all the terrestrial 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 TF6000T digital receiver has the features as follows:

2.2 Safety 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.
Page 10
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 cir-
cumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage
resulting from improper handling.
