ABOUT THE SMARTCARD AND CA MODULE

To be able to receive scrambled digital satellite channels you will

need a Smartcard and/or a Common Interface CA (Conditional

Access) module* from the Service Provider of your choice.

The Service Provider is the programme distributor.

If you are subscribing to services from more than one Service

Provider, you might have to change between different Smart-

cards and/or CA modules.

Please note that a Smartcard and CA module may only be valid

for a single Service Provider and due to this, a specific range of

channels.

The Smartcard and the CA module may also provide access to

special menus not described in this manual. If so, please follow

the instructions from the Service Provider.

Only ”free to air” channels are available without the Smartcard

and/or the CA Module.

Note: The Smartcard and/or the CA module are distributed by

your Service Provider.

After inserting the card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not

remove it again, unless your Service Provider asks you to do so.

This is important, because if your Service Provider wants to

download new information to the Smartcard, the card has to be

in the slot.

* Only use a DVB Standard Common Interface CA Module

Viaccess smartcard

Only for services coded with the Viaccess CA system.

• Insert your Viaccess smartcard fully into the left slot behind the

lid of the front panel of the Mediamaster. The gold chip should

face downwards and inwards.

CA module with its smartcard

• Follow the instructions from your Service Provider how to in-

sert the CA module and the belonging smartcard

• Insert the CA module fully into the slot behind the lid of the

front panel of the Mediamaster.

• Press the grey button on the front panel if you need to remove

the CA module.

PIN Code

The Smartcard is loaded with a 4-digit code, also called a PIN code

(Personal Identification Number).

The code is essential in order to access future services offered

by the Service Provider.

INSTALLATION OF THE MEDIAMASTER

Switching on for the first time with SCART

connections

• Plug in your Mediamaster

• Now you will see the ”Welcome” menu on the screen.

• Press OK on the Mediamaster remote control to start the In-

stallation procedure.

You may now proceed to “First time installation”, see next page.

Tuning procedure when RF connections are used

This procedure is necessary if your Mediamaster is con-

nected to the TV with an RF cable, and not via SCART.

To tune your TV to the RF signal you might also need your TV

manual in addition to this manual. The steps below explain what

to do if you have been unable to use SCART cables in your con-

nection.

• Plug in your Mediamaster.

Tuning your TV to the Mediamaster

• Select a channel number on the TV that is not currently used

for other TV channels.

• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to tune the TV chan-

nel selector to UHF channel 43 (this is the Mediamaster’s fac-

tory preset UHF channel). If you are already using this chan-

nel, select another non occupied UHF channel between 21 to

69 on the TV.

• For example, if you select UHF channel 45 on your TV, you

must change your Mediamaster to the same channel.

Use the or buttons on the front panel of the Mediamaster,

or on the remote control, to change to the corresponding chan-

nel. You will see the UHF channel number displayed on the

front panel of the Mediamaster.

• When you have correctly changed the UHF channel number

you will see the ”Welcome” menu on the TV screen.

If there is interference from other channels you will have to

change the chosen UHF channel.

• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to store this UHF chan-

nel as the channel used by your Mediamaster. You will have to

select it when you want to watch digital TV/Radio channels.

• Once the welcome message is visible, press the OK button

on the Mediamasters remote control to start the “First time

installation” procedure, see next page.

If for some reason you have to change the RF channel later,

you can do this by using the TV settings menu further on in

this manual.

If you have a VCR connected it must be tuned to a different

UHF channel (between 21 to 69) than the Mediamaster.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

General information

Once you have correctly connected the Mediamaster, you also

have to perform a “First Time Installation.”

During this procedure, helpful information is displayed at the bot-

tom of the menus.

Please note!

The OK button always confirms a selection within these menus,

and pressing it will take you to the next step in the installation

process. However, and this is important, often more than one

value has to be entered in a menu. First, perform all necessary

settings on the different lines. Then, confirm them all simultane-

ously by pressing OK.

You can always go back to the previous menu by pressing the

BACK button.

Use the

line to another. Use

buttons to move upwards and downwards from one

to change settings.

You can also use the numeric buttons on the remote control to

select a line in a menu and to enter numeric values.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

RF modulator type

If the Mediamaster is connected to the TV with a RF cable, you

must select the right RF modulator alternative, which is depend-

ent on the country where the Mediamaster is being used.

Select “Normal (PAL B/G)” for all countries except the UK.

Select “UK (PAL I)” when the box is used in the UK.

If you get picture but no sound, the RF modulator selection might

be wrong.

Antenna/satellite selection

Select one of the alternatives from line 1 to 4 if you have a sin-

gle antenna equipped with one LNB for receiving signals from

either ASTRA, HOTBIRD, THOR or SIRIUS.

Select one of the alternatives from line 5 or 6 if you have one

antenna with two LNBs or two antennas with one LNB on each

for receiving signals from the combination ASTRA/HOTBIRD or

THOR/SIRIUS. In these cases you also need a 2-way DiSEqC

switch.

If you have an antenna with 4 LNBs select alternative 7. In this

case you also need a 4-way DiSEqC switch.

For any other antenna/satellite combination e.g. antenna motor,

select alternative 7.

Alternatives 1-6 requires the use of a Universal LNB(s.)

GB 13

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Line

through

on the antenna satel-

lite selection menu

Select one of the alternatives ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR

when you have a single LNB pointed towards any of these satel-

lites.

Pressing OK from the selected alternative will display the “An-

tenna adjustment” menu (shown to the right) on the screen.

For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to

4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu.

When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the

marked channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select

channel with the

buttons.)

Antenna adjustment and signal check

•

Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have

a high value on the Signal strength (AGC) *⁾indicator (the red

bar at the top of the menu) and on the Signal quality (SNR) in-

dicator (the red, yellow and green bar at the top of the menu).

If you do not get a picture, you may be tuned to an analogue sig-

nal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is po-

sitioned towards the wrong satellite.

The reason could also be that the marked channel is not trans-

mitting at the moment. If so, select one of the other prepro-

grammed channels with the

buttons.

When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Media-

master automatically starts searching for and downloads chan-

nels from the satellite. Please refer to page 21.

(If you have a good indication of the signal quality, but no picture

from any of the channel alternatives, try proceeding with the

channel search anyway by pressing OK).

)

About Signal strength (AGC)

and Signal quality (SNR)

The different signal indicators at the top of the menu provide in-

formation about two things:

AGC: The AGC, shown with a red bar, will indicate the average

strength of any incoming signal, digital as well as analogue.

SNR: The SNR, shown with a red, yellow and green bar, will

indicate the signal quality for the preprogrammed

channel chosen.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Line

and

on the antenna satellite

selection menu

Select one of these alternatives when you have a single antenna

equipped with 2 LNBs, or two antennas with one LNB on each,

and want to watch channels from ASTRA/HOTBIRD or THOR/

SIRIUS.

In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external switch

since there is only one antenna input on the Mediamaster. Once

installed the switch automatically selects the correct LNB for the

selected channel.

This external switch is better known as a DiSEqC^TMswitch. Since

the switch can be located close to the LNBs, you only need one

cable down to the Mediamaster.

Connection of a two port DiSEqC switch:

• Connect the cable from the LNB intended for channels from

ASTRA (or THOR) to the connector marked LNB 1 (A) on the

switch.

• Connect the cable from HOTBIRD (or SIRIUS) to the connec-

tor marked LNB 2 (B).

• Then, connect the antenna cable to the connector marked OUT

on the switch.

• Connect the other end of this cable to the ANTENNA input in

the rear of the Mediamaster.

DiSEqC switch with 2 inputs

• First check, as described in paragraph Antenna adjustment

and signal check on page 14, that you get picture and sound

from ASTRA (THOR).

• When you have picture and sound continue to the next row

and check HOTBIRD (SIRIUS) for picture and sound.

• When the HOTBIRD(SIRIUS) check is ready, press OK to start

the channel search procedure. The box now starts searching

and downloading channels from both satellites. See “Channel

search” on page 18.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Line 7 on the antenna satellite selection

This selection is necessary only when your satellite choice dif-

fers from the preprogrammed satellite alternatives in the follow-

ing ways;

• if you do not use an universal LNB

• when you have more than two LNB’s.

• You also must select this alternative when your antenna is con-

trolled by motor (ref. to page 19.)

One antenna/one LNB configuration

Select this alternative if you have one (1) LNB mounted on the

antenna and you want to select another preprogrammed satel-

lite (than those from line 1-4.)

You also must select this alternative when you are not using an

Universal LNB.

LNB type

Select the local oscillator (L. O.) frequency valid for the present

LNB. The most common values, including Universal LNB, are

selectable with the

buttons.

You can also enter a value with the numeric buttons when the

symbol for the remote control is visible on the line.

LNB offset voltage

If the cable down from any of the LNB’s is very long, it might be

necessary to increase the voltage to these LNB’s by 0,5 V.

In most cases nothing has to be altered here. Leave the default

value “0 V” as it is. If the switch does not change between hori-

zontal and vertical polarization, the voltage to a LNB can be in-

creased later.

Increase the voltage:

a. only if a LNB does not change polarization

b. only to the specific LNB mentioned in a. above

Satellite

Please follow the procedure de-

scribed on page 14.

Select one of the preprogrammed satellites.

Predefined channel

Select one of the preprogrammed channels and adjust your an-

tenna according to the “Antenna adjustment and signal

check” section on page 14.

Multisatellite/mini DiSEqC

Select this alternative if you are using two LNBs that are control-

led by a mini DiSEqC switch.

The selection of the different LNBs must be controlled by an

external switch. Refer to page 15.

GB 16

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

For each LNB you connect to the DiSEqC switch, the fol-

lowing configuration has to be performed.

As an example the following part will describe how the LNB in-

tended for Astra 1 will be configured to the DiSEqC input A on

the switch and the LNB intended for Hotbird to DiSEqC input B.

LNB type

Select “Universal” or the local oscillator (L. O.) frequency valid

for the connected LNB.

LNB Offset voltage

If the cable down from the antenna is very long, the voltage at

the LNB could be too low to change the polarization. You can in-

crease the voltage to the LNB by 0,5 V.

Satellite

In this example, select Astra 1 because its LNB is connected to

the DiSEqC A input on the switch.

Predefined channel

Select one of the predefined channels and adjust the antenna as

described on page 14, “Antenna adjustment and signal check”.

Before you can continue, a TV picture from the predefined chan-

nel must be visible in the background.

When you do have a picture press OK to continue with DiSEqC

port B. The same procedure as for Astra 1 has to be repeted. But

this time select Hotbird as the satellite.

When the configuration of DiSEqC B is ready, press OK.

Proceed with the channel search. Refer to page 18.

Multisatellite/two port DiSEqC

Select this alternative if your antenna system has two LNBs and

when you are not using any of the alternatives on the lines

5 - 6 from the menu “Antenna/satellite selection” on page 13.

• Make the selections for LNB type, LNB offset voltage (if nec-

essary), satellite and predefined channel (see Multisatellite/

mini DiSEqC above for an explanation of the different alterna-

tives) for switch 1.

• Press OK.

• Make the selections for switch 2.

• Press OK.

when you are not using any of the alternatives on the lines

5 - 6 from the menu “Antenna/satellite selection” on page 13.

The selection of the different LNBs must be controlled by an

external switch. Refer to page 15.

The procedure is the same as for mini DiSEqC and two port

DiSEqC, but you have to configure four LNBs the same way as

described on page 16-17.

Connection of a four port DiSEqC switch:

The following is an example of how you can connect 4 LNBs if

you want to watch channels from ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS and

THOR.

Connect the LNBs to the switch the following way:

• the LNB intended for ASTRA to input 1

• HOTBIRD to input 2

• SIRIUS to input 3

• THOR to input 4

The output marked OUT on the switch shall be connected to the

ANTENNA input on the Mediamaster.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Type of motor

• Select SATSCAN if it is a Nokia SatScan motor.

• Select DiSEqC in case the motor you use is controlled by

DiSEqC commands.

LNB type

• Select Universal, one of the fixed frequencies or enter the LNB

frequency with the numeric buttons on the remote control.

LNB offset voltage

If the cable down from the antenna is very long, the voltage at

the LNB could be too low to change the polarization. You can in-

crease the voltage to the LNB by 0,5 Volt.

Satellite

Select Astra if you have a SatScan motor and Hotbird if you have

a DiSEqC motor.

Adjust motor for Astra/Hotbird

To continue the installation you now have to determine

the angle to Astra 1/Hotbird. The motor and the antenna

must be adjusted towards the Astra 1 satellites on 19.2°

East (Hotbird satellites on 13° East) as this is the refer-

ence setting. All other preprogrammed satellite positions

are oriented relative to Astra 1/Hotbird.

You also have to mount the antenna at a proper place

outdoors.

How to do all this, please read the separate fitting in-

structions for the SatScan or DiSEqC positioner.

Predefined channel

Select the predefined channel that will give the best Signal qual-

ity (SNR) bar indication. Within a few seconds you will get picture

General information

The following describes the basic functions of your Mediamaster

while watching satellite TV or listening to satellite radio.

Some of the functions described here are dependent on the

Service Provider and can only be used if they are included in

the transmitted programme information.

Please note, that during the Channel search procedure, the

Mediamaster may have downloaded a large number of channels.

This may include channels from various Service Providers, also

those to which you do not have access unless you have a

Smartcard from one of those Service Providers.

If you select a programme to which you do not have access, you

will get a message on the screen. This message may vary, de-

pending on Service Provider and used Smartcard/CA module.

While viewing, the current channel number will be shown on the

front panel display.

In addition to the normal functions like switching the Media-

master in/out of standby, changing the volume etc. there are also

other useful functions which will be explained in this part of the

manual.

You can always leave a menu at any time you want, without af-

fecting any settings, by pressing the EXIT button.

Recording on an external analogue Video

recorder

Please note, that during the recording of a programme, every-

thing shown on the screen will be registered! For example, if you

call up a menu from the Mediamaster on the screen, the menu

will be recorded!

When recording digital channels from the Mediamaster and the

Videorecorder is connected with a SCART cable: put the video

into AV/AUX or E1 mode.

When recording digital channels from the Mediamaster and the

Videorecorder is connected with a RF cable: you must give the

Mediamaster an own position number on the video. (The same

way as you probably already have given e.g. SVT1 and other chan-

nels their own positions.)

Recording from the hard disk to a video recorder

You can also transfer recordings made on the hard disk to the

videorecorder. Select a recording made on the hard disk and start

the playback of it. Depending how the boxes are connected, via

a SCART or RF cable, you now can make a recording on the

videorecorder .

HARD DISK RECORDING

About hard disk recording

As you probably already know this box is equipped with a built

in Personal Active Disc. This is a hard disk, similar to those in or-

dinary Personal Computers (PCs). On this hard disk it is possible

to record about 15-20 hours of TV and radio programmes.

To get the most out of the disk recording procedure, follow these

simple tips to keep the disk well prepared for coming recordings.

In this way you will avoid messages on the screen saying things

like “Time available: Less than 1 hour” 5 seconds before you want

to make a two hour recording from a live performance of your fa-

vourite pop group; or “The current recording was stopped be-

cause there was not enough space on the disk”. As we all know,

those messages always appear when we least want them to.

• Make a practice to clean the disk from recordings that are no

longer needed.

• Recordings that you want to keep, you can transfer to a tradi-

tional analogue Video Recorder. Recordings made to the built

in disk can not be digitally transferred to an external hard disk.

• A good thing to do now and then, is to erase everything from

the disk (select “Erase hard disk” from the “System Configu-

ration” menu.) But remember, absolutely everything will be

erased.

• We suggest that you spend some time testing all functions un-

til you get familiar with them. This will save you a lot of frus-

tration when the moment for making and watching a record-

ing becomes reality. After the practice you can just erase the

disk and it will be ready to start from scratch.

It is important for you to also be aware of the following

facts concerning the hard disk recording

• Only the channel whose number is shown in the display on the

box can be recorded. This means, that you can not watch e.g.

channel 4 and record e.g. channel 8 at the same time.

• A big benifit that the built in hard disk possess, but the ana-

logue video recorder lacks, is the possibility for you to start

watching the playback of a programme while the record-

ing of the same programme is still in progress. This possi-

bility is utilized at the “Pause recording” procedure which is

described further on in this manual.

• Note! Pause recordings will not work if you are watching

a programme ordered via KIOSK (Canal Digital’s pay-per-

view).

• CAUTION! Unauthorized recording of TV programmes or

other material may infringe the copyright and be contrary

to the copyright laws.

HARD DISK RECORDING

Different ways of making recordings

There are three ways of making a recording. In this manual they

are separated in the following way:

1 A Pause recording

This function is useful when you make a break while watch-

ing TV. We will describe how this function can be used when

you get a phone call.

2 A Normal recording

Spontaneously start a recording at any time you want. As you

will see, the procedure differs a bit from the Pause recording.

Please try not to mix them, because if you do, it might lead to

some confusion.

3 A Timer recording

Use the Timer function to record programmes automatically

when you are not at home.

The recording menu

This is the recording menu. You call up the menu to the screen

by pressing the

button marked “pad” (Personal Active Disc).

The menu has to be visible before you can start a recording.

Good to remember: You can always show and hide this menu by

pressing the

button.

The menu will not be recorded.

The symbols

represent functions that are nor-

mally handled with the arrow buttons on the remote control. As

this is the most convenient way, only the button commands will

be explained in this manual.

Locked functions during recording

Most functions are locked when a recording is in progress. It is

not possible to call up any other than the recording menu. If you

try, you will get the message “You can not do this as long as the

disk is active”. The only functions that are active during a record-

ing in progress, except the different alternatives in the recording

menu, are volume, mute and TV release.

It is possible to watch another recorded program during a pause

recording.

HARD DISK RECORDING

The Pause (

) Recording

To describe this, let us say that the phone starts to ring while you

are watching TV. You do not want to miss anything of the pro-

gramme, so you decide to make a pause recording. To start it you

only have to press two buttons on the remote control.

• First, call up the recording menu by pressing

• Then, start the pause recording by pressing OK.

• The picture will freeze and the sound will be turned off at the

moment the recording starts.

• Answer the phone.

During a pause recording the menu looks like the one in the fig-

ure to the right.

• At the very bottom of the menu there will be a bar showing

the total time of the recording.

• Above the bar, “Pause” indicates that a pause recording is go-

ing on.

• Above it, there are two time counters, separated by a / (slash.)

The right counter will continuously show the recorded time in

hours, minutes and seconds. (The left one will be explained

later on.)

• The recording menu will automatically disappear after about

5 minutes.

• When you start a pause recording, the display on the box will

change to indicate “PAUS” instead of the channel number.

To watch the pause recording

Now, 10 minutes later, when you return after having finished the

phone call, the situation is like this:

• A frozen picture on the TV and no sound. That is all.

Of course, you now would like to watch the pause recording that

contains your missing 10 minutes.

• You start the playback of the pause recording by first pressing

(to pick up the menu) and then press OK. Of course, if the

menu still is visible when you return, you only have to press

OK.

Now it is important for you to be aware of the fact that the

recording is still in progress. It has not yet been turned off.

Therefore the right counter will show an increasing recording

time. But this is quite all right. We let you know how and when

it is time to turn it off.

HARD DISK RECORDING

What is happening during playback of a pause recording

that is still in progress?

When the playback starts, a few other things also happen at the

same time.

• Although the pause recording is still going on, the display now

will start to show “PLAY” instead of “PAUS”.

• The text at the bottom of the recording menu now will start

to show “Playing” instead of “Pause”.

• At this moment, when you start a playback, the left counter

starts to show elapsed time of the playback.

• The right counter continues to indicate recorded time.

• The bar at the bottom of the page will show elapsed time

(green) and total time (red).

Now let us stop for a moment and analyse the situation. What is

happening? As a matter of fact, two different things are now in

progress simultaneously:

• The pause recording is still going on,

• and you are watching the playback of it, with 10 minutes de-

lay.

To finish this example of a pause recording

• Keep on watching the playback until the programme reaches

the end, for example after 5 minutes.

• The left counter will now show 5 minutes, which is the length

of the playback.

• The right counter will show 15 minutes because the record-

ing process has been going on all the time.

• Now you finish this pause recording by first pressing

to pick

up the recording menu to the screen, then

• select “

” in the menu and press OK.

• This pause recording is now finished and stored in the “List

of recordings”.

There also is another way to finish the pause recording. More

about that soon.

• Start the recording by pressing OK.

• The display on the box will show “r E C” during this type of

recording.

• If you press the green button on the remote control while a

recording is in progress you can preset the recording time. This

is called OTR (one touch recording). There are preset times in

30 minute steps up to 240 minutes. Each time you press the

green button you will add 30 minutes to the recording time.

When the preset recording time is reached, the recording will

stop automatically. The display on the box will show “r XXX”

during this type of recording. XXX is the time you have set for

the recording.

• During the recording, elapsed time and the information “Re-

cording” will be shown in the recording menu. If you have

used the OTR function described above, you will also see how

much time that is left until the recording stops.

• Finish the recording by first pressing

ing menu. (If it is already on the screen, you do not have to

press first!)

Then check that “

” is highlighted in the menu (if not, se-

lect it) and then press OK.

Timer recording

The “

” alternative in the recording menu is a short cut to the

“Timer” menu. From there you can program the box to perform

recordings when you are not at home.

Please refer to the “Timer setup” described on page 56.

For your information, in case you are at home watching TV when

a timer recording starts:

Shortly before a timer recording starts, the message in the right

figure will be shown. Press OK if you want the recording to take

place; press BACK if not. (You will be asked just in case you are

watching a more interesting programme than the one that is to

be recorded.)

When you do nothing the recording will start in a moment.

Watch the playback at a different speed

To speed up a playback or to find a certain position in a record-

ing, you can use functions such as

• Fast forward

• Rewind

• Slow motion

The functions can be performed not only during a normal play-

back, but also during a pause recording in progress.

Fast Forward and Rewind during playback of an already

finished recording

While watching the playback of a recording you can start Fast

Forward or Rewind by pressing the appropriate button.

You do not even need to have the recording menu on the screen.

• Press to start Fast Forward.

• Press to start Rewind.

• The playback will now speed up, either forwards or backwards.

• If you press the buttons repeatedly the speed will increase. At

the bottom of the menu there is now an indication showing

the speed, e.g. “Fast Forward 2”. The speed may be set be-

tween 1 (not so fast) and 9 (very fast).

• If the speed is too high in any direction, just use the opposite

button to slow down.

• To stop and return to normal speed, press OK.

Fast Forward and Rewind of a pause recording in

progress

The Fast Forward function is useful when you just want to skim

through e.g. a short pause recording, that is still in progress, in

order to catch up the live broadcast of the programme. When you

reach the end of a pause recording it will automatically finish and

the live programme will be shown instead. (Unless you have

changed the default setting for this in the “Digital Recording Pref-

erences”, Line 5, on page 55.)

• First you must start the playback of the pause recording in

progress by pressing OK.

• Then, press to start Fast Forward or to Rewind

• The playback process is the same as described for the normal

playback.

• Note, that the left counter will follow the Fast Forward/Rewind

process while the right one will keep on showing recorded

time for the pause recording in progress.

• To stop the Fast Forward/Rewind and return to normal playback

speed, press OK.

The Slow Motion function

The Slow Motion function is a way to watch a playback in a

slower way than the normal playback speed. This function is the

same for all types of recordings. It only works in the forward di-

rection, never backwards.

To playback in Slow Motion mode:

• First you must start the playback of a recording.

• Then put it into pause mode by pressing OK.

• Start the function with any of the

buttons. You also use

them to control the speed, which is from +3 to -5, where +3

is half of the playback speed and -5 is really slow.

• Exit the Slow Motion mode and return to normal playback

speed by pressing OK.

Small steps during playback

To move small steps forwards or backwards during a playback you

can use the double arrow buttons. The will step 20 sec. for-

wards and will step 10 sec. backwards.

HARD DISK RECORDING

The Edit (

) function

It sometimes happen that some extra minutes from the pro-

gramme that starts after or before the one you want to save also

will be recorded. If so, you can use the

function. It will give

you the opportunity to erase parts in the beginning and at the end

of a recording. You can also split a recording into two separate

recordings. Note! It is important that you have at least 8 Mb space

left on the hard disk in order to split a file. If you don´t, you will

get a message telling that the disk is full. Erase some files in or-

der to make some more space and try to split the file again.

• Start the playback of the recording.

• Make a pause when you reach the section from where you

want to erase or split.

• Select “

” from the recording menu and press OK.

• You can now erase everything (within the recording) before or

after the point where you made the pause. Or you can split the

recording into two different recordings, one is ending at the

point where you made the pause and one is beginning at the

same point. Confirm your choice by pressing OK.

You can also add together two different recordings into one re-

cording. See “Add another recording” on page 38.

List of recordings (

)

As mentioned earlier, all recordings will be stored in the List of

recordings.

To reach it, select “

” from the recording menu.

In addition to the recordings, the List also contains an important

information about the disk:

• Time available: Here you will be informed about the estimated

time available on the disk. You must be aware of that the time

indication is a really rough estimate, but it will give a hint of

available time.

The settings in “Recording preferences” will in a very high

degree affect what will be shown here. (Ref. to page 52.)

In the green information field, at the bottom of the menu, some

information about the different recordings is shown. Press the “i”

button to get more detailed information. (On condition that the

information is included in the programme transmission.)

The List of recordings may consist of up to 64 pages with 7 re-

cordings on each. On each page, the list is numbered from

1 to 7. Fresh recordings will be saved on page 1. The older the

recording, the higher the page number.

Step between pages with the double arrow buttons.

Handle recording

By selecting any of the recordings from the List of recordings and

pressing OK you get the Handle Recording menu. Besides the

fact that you start the playback of a recording from here, you also

have the possibility to change the properties of the recording.

recordings. Before you erase a recording you will get a chance

to regret the deletion by selecting BACK. Select OK and the re-

cording is definitely gone.

You can add a recording to another using this alternative.

• Select the recording you want to add another recording to from

the list of recordings.

• Press OK.

• Select Add another recording and press OK.

• Then select the recording you want to add from the list of re-

cordings.

• Press OK. The second recording will be added after the first

recording.

The two original recordings disappear from the list and you now

have only one recording containing both of the original files. The

recording will have the same name as the first selected record-

ing.

If you want to add more recordings, you just follow the same

steps.

Recording information

Available information about the recording will be shown. The de-

tails are dependent of what was included in the programme trans-

mission at the time for recording.

HARD DISK RECORDING

Save a recording as Erasable or Permanent

To avoid that a Pause or Normal recording will be erased, it is a

good idea to change its property from erasable to Permanent.

Default property for a pause recording

When a pause recording is created, in the List of recordings it will

automatically get the extension (......Pause) at the end of its

name.

The number of pause recordings in the List of recordings will be

kept constant to the limit you have defined in “Saved Pause Re-

cordings”, ref. to page 52. In practice, this means that pause re-

cordings are continuously erased to keep that limit.

Default property for a normal recording

A recording created the normal way has no extension. This

means that it is erasable, but will remain on the disk until it is full.

When the disk space is not enough for a new recording, also

these recordings (without any extension) will be erased.

The event property of a recording

will always be shown here.

How to change the property to erasable or permanent

• Select a recording from the List of Recordings and press OK.

• Immediately below the name of the menu “Handle Record-

ing”, the current property for the recording is always visible.

• Step to line 6.

• By pressing the OK button you can now change the property

between erasable and permanent and vice versa. The valid

property will immediately be visible below the “Handle re-

cording” name. The text “Perm.” within the brackets

means Permanent, and no text means Erasable.

Summarize

A recording can have one of the following three characteristics:

1 A pause recording will always be automatically erased in or-

der not to exceed the value you once have decided. This type

of recording has the extension “Pause” at the end of its name

in the List of recordings.

2 A recording can also be erasable and automatically deleted, but

not until the whole disk is filled upp with recordings. This type

has no extension.

3 The third type of recording has the extension “Perm” at the

end of its name. This one must always be manually erased.

Set parental lock

When you want to lock a recording, select this alternative and you

will be asked to enter your access code. After entering the code,

the recording is locked. To watch it you must enter the code again.

(The code is the same as for the Parental Control.)

Information about the modem

This equipment has been approved pursuant to Council Decision

98/482/EC [CTR 21] for pan-European single terminal connection

to the Public Switched telephone Network (PSTN). However, due

to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in differ-

ent countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an uncondi-

tional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termina-

tion point.

In the event of problems, you sholud contact your equipment

supplier in the first instance.

Make new recordings

The settings made here will affect Normal and Timer recordings

only. Pause recordings are always erasable.

Recordings with the Erasable property will automatically be

erased in order to make space for new recordings. Refer to line

6, “Erase before record (hours)”.

If you select Permanent you can only erase recordings manually.

This means, that if you fill up the disk with Permanent record-

ings, no new recordings can be made until you clean the disk from

at least some of them. This could mean the difference between

success and disaster when you e.g. make a Timer recording.

The default and also recommended setting is Erasable.

Saved pause recordings

If you select e.g. 10, there will never be more than 10 pause re-

cordings stored at the same time on the disk. For every new

pause recording you make, the oldest of them will automatically

be erased.

Please note, that this will only affect pause recordings, not the

“normal” recordings. Pause recordings have the word Pause as

an extension at the end of the line in the “List of recordings”.

See the figure to the right.

Subtitles

While a Pause recording (not a normal recording) is still in

progress you can start the playback of it (= start watching it). In

the playback mode it is possible to use the “fast forward” func-

tion in order to catch up the live part of the programme.

When you do that, and you reach the end of the recording, one

of the two following things will occur.

onds delay from the live version.

However, in this situation you can stop the recording manu-

ally to watch the programme live instead.

Erase before record (hours)

Select how many hours you want to be automatically erased

from the disk each time a new recording is about to start. Only

erasable recordings will be deleted.

on the disk when they are recorded. A recording of e.g. a pop

programme where one billion different colours will explode on

the screen each and every second (or any other programme with

high activity) will take considerable more disk space than e.g. the

latest news read to you aloud from the local TV studio.

Be aware that settings made in this menu has nothing to

do with, and does not affect, the recording quality.

High does not mean that the recording quality is set to high and

Low is not the same as low recording quality.

You must rather look upon this function as an assistance for the

box to estimate the free recording space (in hours) available on

the disk. This estimated time will be shown as “Time available”

in the “List of recordings”. The function also affects the pre-

vious subject “Erase before record (hours)”.

The four alternatives are:

High:

For programme types with very high activity contents.

Normal: This corresponds to most programme types. It is there-

fore the default setting.

Low:

For programme types such as news broadcast and

similar.

Radio: For recording of programmes when the box is in Ra-

dio mode.

It is not necessary to make changes in this menu every time you

are going to make a recording.

You should select one of the alternatives that corresponds to the

type of recordings you most frequently make.

As long as you always keep the disk almost clean, settings in

this menu are less important. But as the disk is running out of

space the settings will be more and more important.

MAIN MENU

The following extreme example

will show what might happen when the setting does not corre-

spond with the reality, and the disk is getting filled up.

You are going to visit a concert, but do not want to miss the foot-

ball championship that will be shown during your visit. You intend

to watch it when you come back home.

A Timer recording is perfect in this case. You are as usual in a hurry

and just throw an eye at “Time available” in the “List of Record-

ings “. It will let you know that “Approx. 3 hours” are available.

Good! More than enough.

As soon as you return back home you start the playback and eve-

rything is OK in 6 minutes and 12 seconds. That is when the play-

back ends. We will skip your comments and instead find out what

went wrong.

As you are a music lover and often record music, the setting in

this case was Radio. It should have been set to High instead.

Conclusion: Keep the disk clean and pay some attention to set-

tings from this menu.

Receiver number

If you have more than one digital satellite receiver using the same

IR protocoll, you can use the same remote control to control

them. To do that you have to give each receiver a specific number.

There are four numbers to choose from.

To access a specific receiver, press

X on your remote con-

trol simultaneously, where X is the number you have chosen for

the specific receiver.

System information

If you have to contact your service provider or a service center,

they might ask for information available from this menu. There-

fore, it is important that you first check the information in the

following menus.

System information

This gives general information about which hardware and soft-

ware version your Mediamaster is running on.

MAIN MENU

Release info

The alternative “Release info” will only be available when the

new downloaded software contains information.

If so, by pressing the i button you will get a message describing

the new functions in the latest software release you have

downloaded to the Mediamaster.

Diagnostics

To find out the condition of certain parts of the Mediamaster, you

can run a diagnostic test.

Conditional Access

This menu will only be activated if you have inserted a valid Smart-

card in the slot behind the front lid.

If more than one CA system is activated, select the one from

which you want information.

The Viaccess Conditional Access (CA) System is embedded in the

Mediamaster. A Smartcard that supports this standard can be

used in the left slot on the front panel.

Different CA modules (with their Smartcards) supporting the DVB

Common Interface (CI) standard can be used in the right slot.

Viaccess embedded

From here you get subscription information from a Smartcard

supplied by a Viaccess Service Provider.

MAIN MENU

Smartcard settings

Age rating control

This is an age rating control function which is connected to your

smartcard. It will only affect the channels you have subscribed

to. Choose “On” if you want to activate the age rating.

This means that you have to enter your smartcard PIN code to

be able to watch the age rated channels. The age rating of each

programme is controlled by your Service Provider.

Do not use this Age rating control if you are using the Age rat-

ing control within the Parental control menu. See page 50.

Age limit

Select an age limit. Programmes transmitted with a lower limit

age will not need the access code.

Change Smartcard code

In this menu you can change the code on your Smartcard.

Common Interface (CI)

These menus are provided by the CA module and its Smartcard.

Timer

General

You can program the Mediamaster to start and stop at a

predefined time.

The function is very useful when you want to record a programme

and you are unable to start/stop the recording event yourself.

Or when you just want to be reminded of the start of a pro-

gramme you do not want to miss.

A programme that already has been started by this Timer func-

tion will lock the box. The display on the box will indicate

“t x” (where x is the channel number) while you are watching

a programme you have been reminded to watch. During a digital

recording event the display will show “r E C”.

You can not change channels or call up a menu until the stop time

is reached. However, you can interrupt the event (e.g. stop a re-

cording) by pressing the MENU button (about 5-10 seconds) until

a channel number appears in the display. Please note, that this

is the only way to stop a recording that has started (apart from

pulling the plug from the mains, which is not to recommend.)

MAIN MENU

Important information related to the timer recording

If you program the box to perform a timer recording e.g. in the

middle of the night (or at any other unsuitable time), be sure to

turn the TV set off with the mechanical switch located on the TV!

If you turn the TV set off by just putting it into standby mode with

the remote controll, it will be turned on at the time for the record-

ing!

Timer setup

• Select Timer from the Main Menu.

• Press OK to enter the Timer Setup menu from where you

make the settings.

• First, select Channel List with the

buttons.

• Then, step to Channel to select desired TV/Radio channel.

• The present date (month/day) will automatically be preset.

When you change month and day, always use two digits for

each of them.

• If you enter a wrong digit you can erase it with the button.

The different start times may never overlap each other. If you try

to enter a start or stop time within an already occupied period of

time you will get a warning message about it.

• On the last line you select the Action. When you want an

event to be recorded on the built in hard disk at the date and

time you entered, select Record. Events that you want to be

recorded this way will be marked with a red symbol in the

Timer list.

Do not forget to ensure that you have enough space on the

disk at the time for the recording to take place.

• If you just want to be reminded of a programme start,or when

you want to make a traditional analogue (VCR) recording, se-

lect View.

Indicates a recording event

Up to 9 different events can be predefined. The events will be

sorted in start time order.

At each stop time the box will return to the state it had before it

started.

You can erase a predefined event by pressing the button twice.

(If you regret the command after the first press, go to another line

by pressing either or

and the event will not be erased.)

Important Information

Wiring the plug (UK and Eire only)

The mains lead on this product is already fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorpo-

rating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 of the same rating

fuse must be used. If the fuse cover is detachable, always refit the cover after replacing the

fuse.

NEVER use the plug with the fuse cover omitted. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off, after having first removed the fuse, and an appropriate plug fitted

in its place. If this new plug contains a fuse, its value should be the same as that removed from

the non-rewireable plug.

The severed plug must be destroyed immediately to avoid possible shock hazard. If you need

to replace the mains plug, follow the instructions given below:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - Neutral (N):

BROWN - Live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identify-

ing the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or col-

oured BLUE or BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or

coloured BROWN or RED. On no account should either of these wires be connected to the

terminal marked E or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of

the lead: not simply over the two wires.

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
