Introduction
The TF 6700IRc digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike analogue broadcasts, however, digital broadcasts are not all assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To
reduce confusion in this manual, the word
service
is preferably
used than
channel
as a term to indicate one television or radio
broadcast.
1.1 Features
The TF 6700 IRc digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
Page 8

overview of scheduled programmes.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control
and the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is

digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.

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 help, contact
your dealer.
2.4.1 Connecting to the broadcasting cable
Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to
the broadcasting cable so that it can receive
digital television services.
Connect the broadcasting cable to the CABLE
IN connector.
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
Between all the following connectors of the digital receiver, we
recommend you to use the first connector to get best picture
quality. If your television does not have the matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for better
picture quality.
1. S-Video connector (S-VIDEO)
2. Composite connector (VIDEO)
3. RF connector (RF OUT)
Page 16
10 Setup
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting
up the digital receiver. See § 3.2 for detailed description.
To use the S-Video connector
You need to obtain a S-Video cable to use
the S-Video connector. Plug one end of the
cable into the S-VIDEO socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the
matching socket on your television.
To use the composite video connector
You need to obtain 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 plug the other end into the matching
socket on your television.
To make the audio connection
You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA cable) to connect the audio connectors. Plug
one end of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching sockets on your television or audio system.
Page 17
2.5 Switching on for the first time 11
To enjoy Dolby digital audio, your television or audio system must be able to decode
Dolby digital audio, and you need to obtain a
S/PDIF cable. Plug one end of the cable into
the S/PDIF socket on the digital receiver, and
plug 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.
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 to the RF
IN connector.
Tune your television set to channel 4 so that
you can see the output from the digital receiver.
2.5 Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it into a mains socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on, so that you will be able to see the display from the
digital receiver.
2.5.1 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.
Page 18
12 Setup
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 the
damage resulting from leaking batteries.
NOTE
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

Preference Settings
3.1 Language settings
You can select the language in
which the menu would be dis-
played. In addition to that, you
can select which language of audio track and of subtitle track
should be output.
Select the System Setting>Language Setting menu. You should
see a screen like the left figure.
Menu language
The digital receiver supports many menu languages: Dutch,
English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish and so forth.
Set the Menu Language option to your desired language. Once
you select a language, the menu will be immediately displayed
in the selected language.
Page 20
14 Preference Settings
Subtitle language
Set the 1st Subtitle Language option and the 2nd Subtitle Language option to your desired languages. When you watch a
programme, if the programme has a subtitle track of the language that is designated for the 1st Subtitle Language, it will be
displayed. If the first language is not available but the second
language is available, the subtitle of the second language 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 § 5.2.5 for detailed description.
Audio language
Set the 1st Audio Language option and the 2nd Audio Language option to your desired languages. When you watch a
programme, if the programme has an audio track of the language that is designated for the 1st Audio Language, it will
be output. If the first language is not available but the second
language is available, the audio of the second language will be
output.
Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with the
button. See § 5.2.4 for detailed description.
3.2 Video and audio settings
You have to configure the video and
audio settings appropriately to your
television set and other appliances.
Select the System Setting>A/V Output Setting menu. You should see a
screen like the left figure.
Page 21
3.2 Video and audio settings 15
3.2.1 Television standard
The digital receiver supports two television standards. 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 television, you have to set the TV Type
option to PAL. In that case, if you switch to a service of the
NTSC standard, the digital receiver will presents the pictures
converting into the PAL standard. However, it is inevitable to
lose a little picture quality. Likewise, the contrary 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,
a multi television set is able to process both of them. So if
you have a multi television set, you had better set the TV Type
option to Multi. Then the digital receiver will present pictures
without standard conversion.
3.2.2 Television aspect ratio
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
Otherwise, if you have a normal-screen television, set the TV
Aspect Ratio option to 4:3.
You cannot fully enjoy wide-screen programmes with your
normal-screen television as the above figures show. The left
figure shows a normal picture displayed in the normal screen.
To watch wide-screen programmes in the shape like the centre

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 it 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.
3.2.3 Audio 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
the button. See § 5.2.4 for detailed description.
3.2.4 Radio frequency output
Set the RF Channel option to a channel number as you desire.
You then have to retune your television set to the new channel
number.
3.3 Local time setting
You should set your local time for timer events.
Select the System Setting
