Connections and initial set up

The connections proposed on page 3 permit the rapid connection of your DTH 8005 and ensure

optimum sound, visual quality (RGB) and standards. Depending on the sockets available on your

other devices or to benefit from the maximum performance of your DTH 8005 you may make

other connections.The DTH 8005 has other sockets for this purpose.

Sockets and cables (inputs)

1 - Audio inputs (INPUT L, R)

The analogue sound of an operating device (television set or amplifier) can be

input via the 2 Audio sockets L and R of your DTH 8005. If you do not use

the recommended connection, i.e. the Peritel (Scart) socket, you must, as well

as the video connections (CVBS or S-VIDEO) connect the outputs Audio L

and R of the operating device to the Audio L and R inputs of your

DTH 8005.

Note: the audio sockets and cables are generally identified by a colour code (white

for the left channel and red for the right).

2 –Video in - Composite (CVBS) (COMPOSITEVIDEO INPUT)

The yellow video socket also known as composite video (or CVBS): the

image quality provided by this socket is less than all the other video sockets.

Only use this socket if all the other sockets are already in use.

called Composite.

3 - S-Video input (Y/C) (S-VIDEO IN)

The S-Video signal is of a lesser quality than that of the RGB signal supplied

by the Peritel (Scart) socket.The S-Video signal however gives a better image

quality than the composite video socket (C) since black and white (Y) are

separated from colour in the video signal.

Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits

only images, not sound.

4 - Optical and coaxial Out sockets (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT)

The digital sound of a disc being played is permanently available on the optical

and coaxial sockets of your DTH 8005. Use one of these sockets by

connecting it to a decoder or a DTS or Dolby Digital amplifier. Some of these

appliances are equipped with a coaxial In socket (COAXIAL) or an optical In

socket (OPTICAL), while others are equipped with both sockets. Choose one

of the two connections.

cable for digital

audio signal.

Note: in most cases these two types of connection give similar results; the only

difference lies in the type of cable used and the cost of these cables, the coaxial

cable being the least expensive one to buy. However it sometimes happens that

some coaxial cables are parasitized by high frequency interferences caused by

household electrical appliances, high voltage electric cables or radio transmitters.

5 - S-Video out socket (Y/C) (S-VIDEO OUT)

The S-Video cable provides a video signal of lower quality than the Peritel

(Scart) socket.An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than

a composite video socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and

white (Y) in the video signal.

Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable

transmits images and not sound.

6 - Audio outputs (OUTPUT L, R)

The digital sound output from a disc being read is permanently available at

the two audio sockets, L and R, of your DTH 8005. If you do not use the

recommended Peritel (Scart) connection to the television (paragraph 3

page 3), you must, as well as one of the video connections (CVBS or S-

VIDEO) connect the Audio outputs, L and R, of your DTH 8005 to the Audio

inputs, L and R, of your television set (or amplifier).

Remote control

Programming the remote control

If your remote control does not control your satellite receiver (or cable) or your television set

you will need to configure it using one of the two methods proposed: automatic code search or

manual programming.

Automatic code search

This method can be used to automatically find the most appropriate code for

your appliance.

1. Switch on the appliance you wish to use the remote control with.

2. Press the relevant button for this appliance on the remote control, and

while holding this button down, press the standby button until the

remote control light comes on. Release the two buttons.

3. Point the remote control at the appliance and press PLAY.Wait until the

light stops flashing. If the appliance has not gone into standby mode after

five seconds, press the PLAY button again to continue the search for the

next set of codes. Repeat this operation until the appliance goes into

standby mode.There are 20 sets of codes.

4. When the appliance goes into standby mode, press the

button on the

front to switch it on again.Then press the REV button to put it back in

standby mode, and if necessary, keep pressing until the appliance goes into

standby.

5. Press the STOP button and hold it down until the remote control light

goes off.

Manual programming

This method involves carrying out a manual search for the codes to be used

for controlling your other appliances.

1. Switch on the appliance you wish to use the remote control with.

2. Press the corresponding key on the remote control, while holding it

pressed down, enter one of the codes corresponding to the make of the

device (Thomson Group codes on the bottom left of this page, other

brands can be found in the “Related documents” leaflet).

If the remote control light flashes you have entered the wrong code or it is not

possible to program the remote control.

3. Point the remote control at the appliance and press the relevant button.

Press the

standby button.

If the appliance does not go into standby mode, try another code.

Depending on the year of manufacture and the type of appliance, some functions

may not be available.

Certain codes may cover more functions than others.Test the functions you

can control and, if appropriate, try other codes.

Note here the code(s) which work best.

SAT Codes: 5000, 5001,

5031, 5037, 5043, 5064,

5065, 5066, 5058, 5084.

Your DTH 8005 doesn’t switch on

• Did you move the DTH 8005? Check the power plug: is it well plugged into the mains

socket? Also check the power cable jack at the rear of the DTH 8005; is it well pushed in.

• Is the mains socket to which you DTH 8005 is connected receiving current? Try to plug in

a lamp or other electrical device: do they work? Check the corresponding fuse in your

house’s fuse box.

The remote control doesn’t work

• To control your DTH 8005, you must first press the DVD key of the remote control.

• Point the remote control at the front of your DTH 8005, not at your TV set.

• The operating range of the remote control is 6 to 8 metres. It gradually decreases as the

batteries wear down.This is a good indicator of the state of the batteries.When the

batteries require replacing, the signal lamp on the remote control flashes when you use it.

• Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the path of the infrared beam between the

remote control and your DTH 8005.They may block the beam and thereby cause a

malfunction of your DTH 8005.

The remote control of your DTH 8005 also controls another device

• Some DVD players made by the Thomson group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba,

Telefunken) react to the same codes.To avoid this inconvenience, you can program your

DTH 8005 and its remote control so they have a different code to those of the other

devices. Refer to page 60.

The remote control and the DTH 8005 don’t work anymore: everything

seems blocked

• Unplug your DTH 8005 from the mains for a few moments and plug it back in.

You don’t see any picture

• Turn on your TV set and your DTH 8005.

• On your TV set, select the socket which receives the signals from your DTH 8005 (AV1,

TV1,AUX1, etc., depending on the make, if connected as shown on page 3).

• Make sure that all sockets are well pushed into the various sockets.

The colours aren’t natural

• Check that the scart cables are well pushed into the sockets of the various devices.

• Check the settings Output AV1, Input AV2 and Output PAL/NTSC (System Options menu,

page 51).

The image format doesn’t match the screen format of yourTV set

• The image format is adjustable. Refer to page 48.With certain discs, the format is pre-set

and cannot be changed.

language.

You can’t access the selected menu, even when you press OK

• If the name of the menu appears on a transparent background, it means that the

corresponding menu or function is not available.The Disc, Titles, and Play list menus are

contextual menus: they depend on operations performed beforehand such as:

• Disc is only accessible if there is a disc in the disc tray of your DTH 8005.

• Titles is only accessible once you have recorded a TV program or video sequence (from
