Introduction

The TRF-2200 digital receiver is fully compliant with the inter­national Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus
is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For its
operation you need an antenna, which must be installed ap­propriately.

NOTE

In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, 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 or multiplex. To reduce confusion in this manual,
the word service is preferably used than channel as a term
to indicate one television or radio broadcast.

For the latest news and information, please visit our website.

2 Introduction

1.1 Features

This digital receiver has the following features:

Ë Can store up to 2S000 television and radio services.

Ë Can view information about the current television or ra-

dio programme.

Ë Has an electronic programme guide that provides an

overview of scheduled programmes.

Ë You can record one service while you are currently

watching another.

Ë You can record many programmes using a built-in hard

drive with large storage capacity.

Ë Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11

2.4.1 Connecting to the antenna

Whatever sort of connection you have be­tween the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to the
antenna so that it can receive digital televi­sion broadcasts. Connect the antenna cable
to the ANT IN connector. If you have an-
other digital receiver, you may link it from
the ANT OUT connector.

NOTE

ANT OUT may also be linked to your television, VCR, or
DVD recorder to loop an analogue signal.

2.4.2 Connecting to your television set

For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we rec­ommend you to use the rst connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.

1. HDMI connector (HDMI)

2. Composite connector (AUDIO, VIDEO)

You should congure audio and video settings after connect­ing up the digital receiver. See §4.1 for a detailed description.

To use the HDMI output

If you have a high denition television set,
you should use an HDMI cable for best re­sults. Plug one endof the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television.

12 Setup

In this case, you do not have to make audio connection because
it can output stereo audio or digital audio as well.

To use the Composite video output

You need to obtain a Composite video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Composite video out­put. 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.

NOTE

posite video output.

To make the audio connection

You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA ca­ble) to link the audio connectors. Plug one
ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digi­tal receiver, and plug the other ends into
the matching sockets on your television or
audio-video receiver.
To enjoy Digital audio, your television or audio­video receiver must be able to decode Digital
audio, and you need to obtainan 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-video receiver.

13

2.5 Switching on for the rst time

Now that you have the digital receiver con­nected, you should connect the power adaptor’s
lead to the POWER jack and plug it into a wall
socket. Ensure that your television set is turned
on and on the correct video channel so that you
will be able to see the display from the digital
receiver.

Before switching on the digital receiver, you should insert bat­teries into the remote control. 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.

Press the

button on the top left corner on the remote con-

trol. In a little time, you may see a picture displaying a menu.

If you do not see a picture, try pressing the button on
the remote control. If after several tries you still get no picture,
check that the television is set to the correct input. If the picture
is good, you can skip to §3.1 to search for available television
and radio services. Otherwise, you may need to temporarily
connect the Composite video connector (VIDEO) to your tele­vision set so that you can see the menu in order to
the video settings.
