Introduction  
The TF 5000CI / TF 5100 CI digital receiver is fully compliant  
with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) stan-  
dard, 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. However,  
unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as-  
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television  
and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre-  
quency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called  
transponder. To reduce confusion, the word service is prefer-  
ably used than channel as service indicates one television or  
radio broadcast in this manual.  
1.1 Features  
The TF 5000CI / TF 5100 CI digital receiver has the following  
features:  
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-

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 to a wall outlet,  
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when  
it is on, it is in operation mode. You should keep the digital  
receiver plugged to a wall outlet on standby mode so as it can  
run timer events at any time.  
1.2.1 The front panel  
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to operate  
the digital receiver, and specific lamps and a display to indi-  
cate its status. Their usage is as follows:

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 to 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. SCART connector (TV)  
2. Composite connector (VIDEO)  
3. RF connector (RF OUT)  
You should configure audio and video settings after connect-  
ing up the digital receiver. See § 3.2 for detailed description.  
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 Component or S-Video con-  
nectors 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 matching socket on your television.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
12 Setup  
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 do with a conversion cable,  
such as SCART-to-Component, you have to make audio con-  
nections.  
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.  
To connect the audio connectors  
You will need to obtain an audio cable (RCA  
cable) to connect the audio connectors. Plug  
one ends of the cable into the AUDIO L  
(white) and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the  
digital receiver, and the other ends into the  
matching sockets on your television or au-  
dio 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 dig-  
ital receiver.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13  
In this case, you will need to connect a ca-  
ble 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 RF IN  
connector.  
2.4.3 Connecting to your video cassette recorder  
The digital receiver also can output video to another appliance  
such as video cassette recorder or video receiver through an  
auxiliary SCART connector.  
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

lect a language, the menu will be immediately displayed in  
the selected language.  
Subtitle language  
Set the Subtitle Language option to your choice. When you  
watch a program, the subtitle track of the selected language  
will be output if available.  
Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with the  
button. See § 5.2.4 for detailed description.  
Audio language  
Set the Audio Language option to your choice. When you  
watch a program, 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 § 5.2.3 for detailed description.  
3.2 Video and audio settings  
You have to configure the video and audio settings appropri-  
ately to your television set and appliances.  
To configure the video and au-  
dio settings, select the System  
Setting > A/V Output Setting  
menu.

3.2 Video and audio settings 17  
3.2.1 Television standard  
The digital receiver supports two types of television standard.  
One is the PAL standard, and the other is the NTSC stan-  
dard. 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 op-  
tion to PAL. In this case, if a service is broadcasted in NTSC  
standard, the digital receiver converts it into the PAL standard  
for your PAL television. However, its quality would some-  
what fall. The opposite 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. How-  
ever, the multi television set is able to process both of them.  
So if you have an multi television set, set the TV Type op-  
tion to Multi. With this option, the digital receiver will output  
them without standard conversion. This setting is most rec-  
ommended especially if you are not sure what standard tele-  
vision you have.  
3.2.2 Color model  
Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able  
to output video in various color models. If you have the digi-  
tal receiver linked to your television from this connector, you  
should set the Video Output option to your desired color model.  
If you have connected them by RCA connector at which VIDEO  
reads on the back panel of the digital receiver, you do not have  
to set this option because the digital receiver outputs CVBS  
video through RCA connector independent of SCART connec-  
tor.  
It is known in general that the RGB color model provides the  
best video quality with little difference from the YUV color  
model but the CVBS color model does the least. So RGB would  
be most desirable for this option.

18 Preference Settings  
3.2.3 Video cassette recorder  
You would have the digital receiver linked to your video cas-  
sette recorder or such an appliance from the VCR SCART. The  
digital receiver will operate differently depending on the set-  
ting of the VCR Scart Type option. If the option is set to Stan-  
dard, the digital receiver will pass the video from the video  
recorder to your television when the video recorder starts play-  
back. But if the option is set to External A/V, the digital re-  
ceiver will not pass the video even though the video recorder  
starts playback. To pass it, you have to press  
button.  
3.2.4 Television aspect ratio  
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio  
option to 16:9.  
You can enjoy well both wide-screen programs and normal-  
screen programs with your wide-screen television as the above  
figures show. The left figure shows a wide picture displayed  
in the wide screen, and the right figure shows a normal picture  
displayed in the wide screen.  
If you have a normal-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio  
option to 4:3.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
3.2 Video and audio settings 19  
You cannot fully enjoy wide-screen programs 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 programs in the shape like the center fig-  
ure, 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 the option to Center Extract. Wide-screen pic-  
tures then will be cut out on the left and right sides equally to  
fit to the width of the normal screen.  
3.2.5 Sound mode  
Basically, there are two audio sources as you can find two au-  
dio 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 § 5.2.3 for detailed description.  
3.2.6 Radio frequency output  
If you have connected your television to the RF OUT socket,  
you should configure the radio frequency output. The digital

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.  
       
26 Service Search  
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 from 950 to 2150 MHz by  
a LNB.  
Select the Installation > LNB  
Setting menu to configure the  
LNB settings.  
£
Pressing the OK button on the Satellite Name option displays

¡
the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite toward  
which your antenna sets its face. Even if you cannot find your  
desired satellite, you can add your desired satellite to the satel-  
lite 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  
Satellite Name option to specify a satellite that is not in the  
satellite list, you might have to make out the correct LNB fre-  
quency. The difference between a broadcasting frequency and  
its LNB frequency must be within 950 to 2150 MHz. For exam-  
ple, 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.  
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 DiSEqC 1.2, select the In-  
stallation > Motorized DiSEqC  
1.2 menu.  
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 on the right  
bottom on 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 satel-  
lite position. Just by 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 USALS, select the Instal-  
lation > USALS Setting menu.  
At first you have to set the Mo-  
torized DiSEqC 1.3 option to  
Enable.
