Introduction  
The TF 6060 CI digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-  
ternational 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 ana-  
logue broadcasts, however, digital broadcasts are not all as-  
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television  
broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The fre-  
quency 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 6060 CI digital receiver has the following features:  
Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-  
ALS.

Introduction  
1.3 What is common interface?  
Some broadcasts are scrambled so that only paid  
subscribers can enjoy them. Scrambled services  
can only be viewed with a Conditional Access  
Module (CAM) and a subscription card belong-  
ing with the scrambling system.  
Common Interface (CI) is the slot on a digitial  
receiver into which a conditional access module  
may be insterted. The front of the digital receiver  
has two common interfaces.  
To watch a pay service, you should take the following steps:  
1. Purchase a conditional access module and a subscription  
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 a common in-  
terface 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. You should see a  
screen like the left figure.

• A copy of this user guide  
NOTE  
Accessories may vary according to your local area.  
2.2 Safety precautions  
Please read carefully the following safety precautions.  
The mains power must be 90 to 250 volt. Check it before  
connecting the digital receiver to the wall outlet. For  
the power consumption of the digital receiver, refer to  
Table 2.1.  
     
8
Setup  
The wall outlet should be near the equipment. Do not  
run an extension lead to the unit.  
Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture. The  
digital receiver is designed for use indoors only. Use dry  
cloth when cleaning the digital receiver.  
• Place the digital receiver on a firm and level surface.  
Do not place the digital receiver close to heat emitting  
units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.  
Do not lay any objects such as magazines on the digi-  
tal receiver. When placed in a cabinet, make sure there  
is a minimum space of 10 centimetres around it. For  
the physical specification of the digital receiver, refer to  
Table 2.2.  
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched.  
If the wires are exposed or the cord is damaged, do not  
use the digital receiver and get the cord replaced.  
Never open the digital receiver casing under any circum-  
stances. The warranty will be void.

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 appliances.  
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact  
your dealer.  
   
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11  
2.4.1 Connecting the antenna  
Whatever sort of connection you have be-  
tween the digital receiver and the television,  
you need to connect the digital receiver to  
your television antenna so that it can receive  
digital television services.  
Connect the antenna cable to the LNB 1 IN  
connector on the back panel of the digital  
receiver.  
Also, you must ensure that there is a con-  
nection to both the LNB 1 IN and LNB 2 IN  
connectors on your digital receiver, so that  
both tuners work properly.  
Normally you do that by using a loop cable to link from the IF  
1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector.  
If you have two antennas without DiSEqC switch, then you  
have to connect a cable from the other antenna directly to  
the LNB 2 IN connector rather than using the loop cable. If  
you have another digital receiver, link it from the IF 2 OUT  
connector.  
NOTE  
The digital receiver can supply a current of 500 milliampere at  
maximum for antenna devices including LNB, DiSEqc switch  
and antenna rotor through each antenna input connection sepa-  
rately but not simultaneously. So if there are too many antenna  
devices to be supplied with power through antenna input con-  
nections simultaneously for a long time, your LNBs may lack  
power to operate. So it is recommended to link the IF 1 OUT  
connector to the LNB 2 IN connector with a loop cable even  
though the digital receiver is designed to operate over two  
antennas alternatively.  
   
12 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. SCART connector (TV)  
2. S-Video connector (S-VIDEO)  
3. Composite connector (VIDEO)  
4. RF connector (RF OUT)  
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting  
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 receiver  
and the other end into a free SCART socket  
on your television.  
Some televisions have inputs via Component  
connector or S-Video connector rather than  
SCART.  
If you have such a television, use an appropriate conversion ca-  
ble to link the TV socket on the digital receiver to the matching  
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.  
   
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13  
To use the S-Video connector  
You will need to obtain a S-Video cable to use  
the S-Video connector. Plug one end of the  
cable into the S-VIDEO socket on the digital  
receiver, and the other end into the matching  
socket on your television.  
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 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 re-  
ceiver, and the other end into the matching  
sockets on your television or audio 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 digital  
receiver.  
 
14 Setup  
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 the RF  
IN connector.  
Tune your television set to channel 36 (or  
rarely 43) so that you can see the output from  
the digital receiver.  
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.  
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 match-  
ing socket on your video cassette recorder or  
suchlike.  
2.5 Switching on for the first time  
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should  
plug it in to a mains socket. Ensure that your television set is  
turned on, so that you will be able to see the display from the  
digital receiver.  
2.5.1 Inserting batteries in the remote control  
To insert the batteries, open the battery compartment by remov-  
ing the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the polarity,  
which is marked on the base of the battery compartment.  
       
2.5 Switching on for the first time 15  
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 the  
damage 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.  
2.5.2 Powering on and checking picture  
Now, press the button in top left corner on the remote con-  
trol.  
If the picture is good, you can skip to 4.1.4 to search for the  
§
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 on-screen  
menus in order to configure the video settings.

Set the Audio Language option to your desired language. When  
you watch a programme, the audio track of the selected lan-  
guage will be output if available.  
Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with the  
button. See § 5.2.5 for detailed description.  
3.2 Video and audio settings  
You have to configure the video  
and audio settings appropriately  
to your television set and other  
appliances.  
Select the System Setting  
>
A/V Output Setting menu. You  
should see a screen like the left  
figure.  
3.2.1 Television standard  
The digital receiver supports two television standards. One  
is PAL standard, and the other is NTSC standard. PAL was  
adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA,  
Canada, Mexico and so forth. Refer to Table 3.1 for television  
standard of your local area.  
     
18 Preference Settings  
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type  
option to PAL. In that case, if you switch to a service of the  
NTSC standard, the digital receiver will presents the pictures  
converting into the PAL standard. However, it is inevitable to  
lose a little picture quality. Likewise, the contrary 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. However,  
a multi television set is able to process both of them. So if  
you have a multi television set, you had better set the TV Type  
option to Multi. Then the digital receiver will present pictures  
without standard conversion.  
3.2.2 Colour model  
Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able  
to output video in various colour models. If you have the  
digital receiver linked to your television via this connector,  
you should set the Video Output option to your desired colour  
model. If you have connected via the RCA connector labeled  
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 the SCART connector.  
However, if you have connected via the S-VIDEO connector,  
you have to set this option to S-Video because the output  
through S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface.  
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.  
3.2.3 Video cassette recorder  
You can have the digital receiver linked to your video cassette  
recorder or such an appliance via the VCR SCART connector. In  
that case, the digital receiver will operate differently depending  
     
3.2 Video and audio settings 19  
on the setting of the VCR Scart Type option. If the option is  
set to Standard, the digital receiver will pass the video from

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 antenna  
and motorized antenna. You have to configure antenna settings  
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  
DiSEqC 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 band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz.  
C
       
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 relatively  
high frequencies, amplify and convert  
them to similar signals that is carried  
at a much lower frequency, which is  
called Intermediate Frequency (IF).  
High frequencies from satellites are  
converted into 950 to 2150 MHz by a  
LNB.  
Select the Installation  
ting menu to configure the LNB  
settings. You should see a  
screen like the left figure.  
>
LNB Set-  
£
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 § 4.3 for detailed description.  
You have to specify which tuner is connected to your selected  
satellite. If it is LNB 1 IN, set the Tuner Select option to Tuner  
1; otherwise, set it to Tuner 2.  
If you have connected the IF 1 OUT and LNB 2 IN with a loop-  
through cable, then set the Connection Type option to Loop  
 
4.1 Searching broadcasting services 27  
Through; otherwise, set it to Separated.  
NOTE  
Both the LNB 1 IN and LNB 2 IN sockets should be connected  
to your antennas either directly or via the loop-through cable.  
If you have connected only one socket, some features such as  
dual recording will not function.  
The digital receiver has a database about broadcasting satellites  
and their transponders, containing the following information:  
satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, polarization  
and LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency range. So  
you might not have to specify the LNB Frequency option. How-  
ever, 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 fill in the correct LNB frequency. The absolute  
difference between a broadcasting frequency and its LNB fre-  
quency 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 electric 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  
four satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switching  
between up to 16 satellite sources.  
Set the DiSEqC 1.0 option and the DiSEqC 1.1 option accord-  
ing to your antenna configuration.  
 
28 Service Search  
For example, to select the antenna con-  
nected to the A5 input in the left figure,  
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 instead of  
1 of 4.  
4.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings  
Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satellites  
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 the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol,  
select the Installation  
>
Motor-  
ized 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 En-  
able.  
To get the correct position of your desired satellite, perform the  
following steps:  
   
4.1 Searching broadcasting services 29  
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op-  
tion.  
2. Select the tuner that is connected to the motorized an-  
tenna at the Tuner Select option.  
3. Set the DiSEqC Command Mode option to User.  
4. Set the Motor Control option to Goto. Then the antenna  
will turn toward your selected satellite by the position  
data that the digital receiver has.  
5. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom  
right of the screen, is not good, tune the antenna finely  
with the Movement option. If you set it to 2(E), the an-  
tenna will move to the east by two degrees. At this time  
you had better check the receiving quality of every trans-  
ponder and choose the best one at the Transponder (or  
Frequency) option. It will be helpful to your fine tuning.  
6. Finally set the Motor Control option to Store to save the  
tuned position when the receiving quality is best.  
There are more motor control options for installers, but this  
guide does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer them  
to the manual about 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 a central point. The USALS will then  
calculate positions of visible satellites.

4. Enter the position of your selected satellite to the Satellite  
Angle option if it is not correct.  
5. Select the Goto the position option; then the antenna  
will turn toward your selected satellite as calculating its  
position.  
6. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom  
right of the screen, is not good, then tune the antenna  
finely with the Move option. The changed position is  
automatically saved. 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.
