Introduction
The TF 7000 HT 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.
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 7000 HT digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
2 Introduction
•
You can view information about the current television or
radio programme.

overview of scheduled programmes.
•
You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to the
latest version, provided by the manufacturer.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
The digital receiver can be operated 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
on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the
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.

10 Setup
2.4.2 Connecting to your television
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. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. Component connector (YPbPr)
3. RGB connector (RGB)
4. Composite connector (VIDEO)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting
up the digital receiver. See § 3.2 for detailed description.
To use the HDMI connector
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use a HDMI cable for best results. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and the other
end into the matching socket on your television. In this case, you do not have to make
audio connections because the HDMI connector can output stereo audio or Dolby digital
audio.
To use the component video connector
Y
Pb
Pr
You will need to obtain a component video cable (RCA cable) to use the component video
connector. Plug one end of the cables into the
Y (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on
the digital receiver, and the other end into the
matching sockets on your television.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11
To use the RGB video connector
You will need to obtain a RGB cable (15 pin
D-sub cable) to use the RGB connector. Plug
one end of the cable into the RGB socket on
the digital receiver, and the other end into the
matching socket on your television.
To use the composite video connector
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video with
the composite video connector.
You will 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 the other end into the matching socket
on your television.
To connect the audio connectors
You will 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 the other end into the matching
sockets on your television or audio system.
