Introduction  
The TF 7700 HSCI 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. How-  
ever, unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not  
all assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple tele-  
vision broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.  
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-  
ponder. To reduce confusion in this manual, the word service  
is preferably used than channel as a term to indicate one tele-  
vision or radio broadcast.  
1.1 Features  
The TF 7700 HSCI digital receiver has the following features:  
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-  
ALS.

the latest version, which will be provided by the manu-  
facturer.  
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.  
1.2.1 The front panel  
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control  
the digital receiver, and specific lamps and a display to indi-  
cate its status. The following indicates what they mean.

Introduction  
1.3 What is common interface?  
Some broadcasts are scrambled so that only  
paid subscribers can enjoy them. Scrambled ser-  
vices can only be viewed with a Conditional Ac-  
cess Module (CAM) and a subscription card be-  
longing with the scrambling system.  
Common Interface (CI) is an interface for condi-  
tional access modules. The front of the digital  
receiver has two common interface slots.  
To watch a pay service, you should take the following steps:  
1. Purchase a conditional access module and a subscrip-  
tion card for the pay service you want to watch.  
2. Insert the subscription card into the conditional access  
module.  
3. Insert the conditional access module into the common  
interface slot on the front of the digital receiver.  
To view the information about  
the module and subscription  
card inserted into the digital re-  
ceiver, select the Common Inter-  
face menu.

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 appli-  
ances. If you have any problem with your setup or need help,  
contact your dealer.  
2.4.1 Connecting the antenna  
Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital re-  
ceiver and the television, you need to connect the digital re-  
ceiver to your television antenna so that it can receive digital  
television services.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11  
Connect the antenna cable to the LNB IN  
socket.  
If you have another digital receiver, link it  
from the LNB OUT connector.  
2.4.2 Connecting to your television  
Between all the following connectors of your digital receiver,  
we recommend you use the first connector to get best picture  
quality. If your television does not have the matching connec-  
tor then use the next connector in the following order for best  
picture quality.  
1. HDMI connector (HDMI)  
2. SCART connector (TV)  
3. Component connector (YPbPr)  
4. Composite connector (VIDEO)  
You should configure audio and video settings after connect-  
ing 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 re-  
sults. 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.

12 Setup  
To use the SCART connector  
For best results with a standard television  
set, you should use a SCART cable, plugging  
one end into the TV socket on the digital re-  
ceiver and the other end into a free SCART  
socket on your television.  
Some televisions have inputs via Com-  
ponent or S-Video connectors rather than  
SCART.  
If you have such a television, use an appropriate conversion  
cable to link the TV socket on the digital receiver to the match-  
ing socket on your television.  
If you connect with a standard SCART cable, you do not have  
to make audio connections because the SCART connector can  
output stereo audio. But if you use a conversion cable, such as  
SCART-to-Component, you have to make audio connections.  
NOTE  
You cannot view high definition video with the SCART con-  
nector.  
To use the component video connector  
You will need to obtain a component video  
cable (RCA cable) to use the component  
video connector. Plug one end of the ca-  
bles into the Y (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red)  
sockets on the digital receiver, and the other  
end into the matching sockets on your tele-  
vision.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13  
To use 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 re-  
ceiver, and the other end into the matching  
socket on your television.  
NOTE  
You cannot view high definition video with the composite  
video connector.  
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 au-  
dio system.  
To enjoy Dolby digital audio, your televi-  
sion or audio system must be able to decode  
Dolby digital audio, and you will need to ob-  
tain a S/PDIF cable. Plug one end of the ca-  
ble into the S/PIDF socket on the digital re-  
ceiver, and the other end into the matching  
socket on your audio system.  
2.4.3 Connecting to your video cassette recorder  
The digital receiver can also output video to another appliance  
such as a video cassette recorder or video receiver through an  
auxiliary SCART connector.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
14 Setup  
You will need to obtain a SCART cable to  
use the auxiliary SCART connector. Plug  
one end of the cable into the VCR socket on  
the digital receiver, and the other end into  
the matching socket on your video cassette  
recorder or suchlike.  
2.4.4 Inserting batteries in the remote control  
To insert the batteries, open the battery compartment by re-  
moving the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the po-  
larity, which is marked on the base of the battery compart-  
ment.  
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to remote con-  
trol commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to remove  
used batteries. The manufacturer accepts no liability for dam-  
age 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  
about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

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 au-  
dio track as well as of subtitle  
track to 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 lan-  
guage. Once you select a language, the menu will be immedi-  
ately displayed in the selected language.

16 Preference Settings  
Subtitle language  
Set the Subtitle Language option to your desired language.  
When you watch a programme, the subtitle track of the se-  
lected language will be displayed if available.  
Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with the  
button. See § 5.2.5 for further information.  
Audio language  
Set the Audio Language option to your desired language.  
When you watch a programme, the audio track of the selected  
language will be output if available.  
Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with the  
button. See § 5.2.4 for further information.  
3.2 Video and audio settings  
You have to configure the video  
and audio settings appropri-  
ately to your television set and  
appliances.  
Select the System Setting >  
A/V Output Setting menu. You  
should see a screen like the left  
figure.  
3.2.1 Colour model  
Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able  
to output video in various colour models. If you have the dig-  
ital receiver linked to your television via this connector, you  
should set the SCART Output option to your desired colour  
model. If you have connected via the RCA connector labeled

3.2 Video and audio settings 17  
VIDEO on the back panel, you do not have to set this option  
because the digital receiver outputs CVBS video through the  
RCA connector independent of SCART connector.  
It is known in general that the RGB colour model provides the  
best video quality with little difference from the YUV colour  
model but the CVBS colour model does the least. So RGB  
would be most desirable for this option.  
3.2.2 Video cassette recorder  
You can have the digital receiver linked to your video cassette  
recorder or such an appliance via the VCR SCART connec-  
tor. In that case, the digital receiver will operate differently  
depending on the setting of the VCR Scart Type option. If  
the option is set to Standard, the digital receiver will pass the  
video from the video cassette recorder to your television when  
it starts playback. But if the option is set to External A/V, the  
digital receiver will not pass the video automatically. To pass  
£
it, you have to press the AUX button.

3.2.3 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.

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.  
3.2.4 High definition television  
The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from  
576 to 1080. In general a resolution of 720 or more is consid-  
ered high definition. The higher the resolution is, the better  
quality you can enjoy. However, if your television set does  
not support high definition, you cannot enjoy high definition  
quality picture.  
Set the Video Format option as you desire. If you set this  
option to 576P, the digital receiver will present even high def-

Service Search  
After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to per-  
form a service search.  
4.1 Searching broadcasting services  
This digital receiver can be operated with both fixed and mo-  
torized antenna system. You have to configure antenna set-  
tings according to your antenna system in the following order:  
1. Configure LNB settings. (Refer to § 4.1.1.)  
2. Set the position of your desired satellites if you have a  
motorized antenna. You can control the antenna in DiS-  
EqC 1.2 mode or USALS mode. Refer DiSEqC 1.2 to  
§ 4.1.2, and refer USALS to § 4.1.3.  
3. Perform service search.  
4.1.1 Configuring LNB settings  
There are in large two frequency bands for satellite broadcasts.  
One is C band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
4.1 Searching broadcasting services 25  
The other is Ku band which ranges approximately from 12 to  
18 GHz.  
The LNB (Low Noise Block converter)  
is used to take a wide band of rel-  
atively high frequencies, amplify and  
convert them to similar signals carried  
at a much lower frequency, which is  
called IF (Intermediate Frequency).  
LNB  
High frequencies from satellites are  
converted into 950 to 2150 MHz by a  
LNB.  
Select the Installation > LNB  
Setting menu to configure the  
LNB settings. You should see  
a screen like the left figure.  
£
Pressing the OK button on the Satellite Name option displays  
¢
¡
the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite toward  
which your antenna is set to face. Even if you cannot find  
your desired satellite, you can add your desired satellite to  
the satellite list. See § 4.2 for detailed description.  
The digital receiver has a database about broadcasting satel-  
lites and their transponders, containing the following infor-  
mation: satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, po-  
larization and LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency  
range. So you might not have to specify the LNB Frequency  
option. However, if you have selected the Other entry at the  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
26 Service Search  
Satellite Name option to specify a satellite that is not in the  
satellite list, you might have to fill in the correct LNB fre-  
quency. The absolute difference between a broadcasting fre-  
quency and its LNB frequency must be within 950 to 2150  
MHz. For example, if the frequency band of your desired  
satellite ranges from 3660 to 4118 MHz, you have to set the  
LNB Frequency option to 5150 MHz.  
The LNB has to be supplied with power to operate. Set the  
LNB Power option to On if it does not have any other power  
supply.  
You had better ignore the 22 kHz option.  
The digital receiver is designed to be compatible with DiSEqC  
(Digital Satellite Equipment Control) switches. It is possible  
to connect several antennas to one digital receiver by DiSEqC  
switches. A DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows switching between up  
to 4 satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switching  
between up to 16 satellite sources.  
Set the DiSEqC 1.0 and DiSEqC 1.1 options according to your  
antenna configuration.  
For example, to select the antenna con-  
nected to the A5 input in the left fig-  
ure, set the DiSEqC 1.1 option to 2 of  
4 and the DiSEqC 1.0 option to 1 of 4.  
If you have a mini DiSEqC 1.0 switch  
which has only two inputs, you should  
set the DiSEqC 1.0 option to Mini A in-  
stead of 1 of 4.  
4.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings  
Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satel-  
lites horizontally by DiSEqC 1.2.

4.1 Searching broadcasting services 27  
When you switch to an service, if the service is  
provided by a satellite other than current one,  
it will take longer time than usual because the  
antenna has to turn to its position.  
To use the DiSEqC 1.2, select the  
Installation > Motorized DiSEqC  
1.2 menu. You should see a  
screen like the left figure.  
At first you have to set the Mo-  
torized DiSEqC 1.2 option to  
Enable.  
To get the correct position of your desired satellite, perform  
the following steps:  
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op-  
tion.  
2. Set the DiSEqC Command Mode to User.  
3. Select the Goto option at the Motor Control menu. Then  
the antenna will turn toward your selected satellite with  
the position data that the digital receiver has.  
4. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom  
right of the screen, is not good, tune the antenna finely  
with the options of the Movement menu. If you select  
the 2(E) movement option, the antenna will move to the  
east by two degrees. At this time you had better check  
the receiving quality of every transponder and choose  
the best one at the Transponder (or Frequency) option.  
It will be helpful to your fine tuning.

5. Finally select the Store option at the Motor Control menu  
to save the tuned position when the receiving quality  
has turned good.  
There are more motor control options for installers, but this  
manual does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer  
them to the manual for the STAB rotor.  
4.1.3 Configuring USALS settings  
USALS (Universal Satellite Automatic Location System), also  
known as DiSEqC 1.3, calculates the positions of all available  
satellites from your location. Compared to DiSEqC 1.2, it is no  
longer required to manually search and store every satellite  
position. Just pointing to a known satellite position is enough.  
This position will act as the central point. The USALS will  
then calculate positions of visible satellites.  
To use the USALS, select the  
Installation > USALS Setting  
menu. You should see a screen  
like the left figure.  
At first you have to set the Mo-  
torized DiSEqC 1.3 option to  
Enable.
