Introduction  
1.1 Introduction  
The TF 6000 PVRt digital receiver is fully compliant with the  
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and  
can receive digital broadcastings. For its operation, you need  
an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.  
Unlike analog broadcastings, digital broadcastings are not all  
assigned to their own frequencies; 1instead, several television  
and radio broadcastings are transmitted through a single trans-  
ponder on a single wideband carrier.  
NOTE A transponder is in fact a wireless device, which re-  
ceives and transmits radio signals at a prescribed fre-  
quency range. However, you may regard a transponder  
as a channel. One channel has one broadcasting in  
analog broadcast; on the other hand, one transponder  
has several broadcastings in digital broadcast. So the  
word service is used instead of channel to indicate a  
broadcasting in this document.  
To help you with the choice and setting for broadcasting ser-

Introduction  
vices, a selection of television and radio services have already  
been programmed for you. So all broadcasting services that  
have gone on air are available to you. You can find the latest  
transponder information from various broadcasters on tele-  
text.  
The TF 6000 PVRt digital receiver has features as follows:  
The digtial receiver is able to memorize up to 2000 tele-  
vision and radio services.  
Electronic program guide provides an overview of pro-  
gram schedules for next few hours.  
You can edit the service list and make your own favorite  
service list.  
You can view the information of the current television or  
radio program.  
You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to  
the latest, which will be provided by the manufacturer.  
The digital receiver features a digital video recorder with  
two tuners, with which you can record your choice of  
broadcasting services independently of ones you are cur-  
rently watching.  
The large storage capacity of the built-in hard disk al-  
lows you to record up to 40 hours of material—in case  
of 80 gigabytes—in excellent picture and sound quality.  
Time shift function is a special technical feature. You  
can pause the program you are watching and resume it  
again at a later time. You can quickly find whatever part  
of the current program by backward or forward search.  
During a recording in progress, you can select a different  
program from the archive and watch it.

hand, when it is on, it is in operation mode. You should  
keep the digital receiver plugged to a wall outlet so as  
it can run timer events.

2.2 Safety precautions  
Please read and keep the following safety precautions care-  
fully.  
The power must be 90 to 250 volt. Check it before con-  
necting the digital receiver to the wall outlet. For the  
power cunsumption of the digital receiver, refer to Ta-  
The wall outlet shall be installed near the equipment and  
shall be easily accessible.  
The digital receiver is designed to receive, record and  
play back video and audio signals. Any other use is ex-  
pressly prohibited.  
When setting up the digital receiver, make sure it is in a  
horizontal position.  
Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture. The  
digital receiver is designed for use in dry rooms. If you  
do use it outdoors, ensure that it is protected from mois-  
ture, such as rain or splashing water. Do not place any  
vessels such as vases on the digital receiver. These may  
be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical compo-  
nents, thus bring about a risk.  
Use only dry cloth when cleaning the digital receiver.  
Do not place the digital receiver close to heating units  
or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling. Place  
the digital receiver on a hard and level surface. Do not  
lay any objects such as magazines on the digital receiver.  
When placed in a cabinet, make sure there is a minimum  
space of 10 cm 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  
particularly at plugs, receptacles and the point where

they exit from the digital receiver.  
Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
Thunderstroms are a danger to all of electrical devices.  
Even if the digital receiver is switched off, it can be dam-  
aged by a lightning strike to the power line or the an-  
tenna cable. Always disconnect the power plug and the  
antenna cable.  
Never open the digital receiver casing under any cir-  
cumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for the dam-  
age resulting from improper handling.  
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servic-  
ing is required when the digital receiver has been dam-  
aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is  
damaged, liquid has been spilt, objects have fallen into  
the digital receiver, or the digital receiver has been ex-  
posed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or  
has been dropped.

2.4 Connecting the digital receiver  
There are several ways to set up the digital receiver as de-  
scribed below. Set up the digital receiver suitably to your tele-  
vision and other appliances. If you have any problem with  
your setup or need a help, contact your dealer or service provider.

2.4 Connecting the digital receiver 13  
Connecting to the terrestrial antenna  
Connect the antenna cable to the ANT 1 IN socket on the digital  
receiver, and then connect the RF LOOP 1 OUT socket and the  
ANT 2 IN socket with a loop cable.  
If you have another digital receiver, plug another cable into  
the RF LOOP 2 OUT socket on the digital receiver and the  
corresponding socket on the other digital receiver.  
Connecting to the television by SCART connector  
Plug a SCART cable into the TV socket on the digital receiver  
and the corresponding SCART socket on your television.  
Connecting to the television by RCA connector  
Plug a RCA cable into the VIDEO (yellow), AUDIO L (white)  
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver and the cor-  
responding input sockets on your television or audio appli-  
ance.  
Connecting to the television by YUV connector  
Plug a standard component video cable into the Y (green), Pb  
(blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the digital receiver and the cor-  
responding input sockets on your television. You must con-  
nect audio sockets on the digitral receiver with ones on your  
television by a RCA cable because the YUV sockets outputs  
only video signals.  
Connecting to the television by S-Video connector  
Plug a standard S-Video cable into the S-VIDEO socket on the  
digital receiver and the corresponding input socket on your  
television. You must connect audio sockets on the digital re-  
ceiver with ones on your television by a RCA cable because

digital receiver. Then, plug the other end of the SCART ca-  
ble into the input SCART socket on your video recorder if  
you wish to record a broadcasting program with your video  
recorder; otherwise if you wish to watch the video that the  
video recorder plays back just through the digital receiver,  
plug the other end into the output SCART socket.

moving the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the po-  
larity, which is marked on the base of the battery compart-  
ment. Close the battery compartment after that.

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 met-  
als, 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.

3.2.1 Televsion standard  
The digital receiver supports two types of television standard.  
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.  
If you have a PAL televsion, 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 PAL standard for  
your PAL television. However, its quality would somewhat  
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 stadard televi-  
sion you have.  
3.2.2 Color model  
The type of the socket that reads TV on the back panel of  
the digital receiver is SCART. This is also known as Euro-  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

connector. Through this socket, the digital receiver is able to  
output video signals of various color models: CVBS, S-Video,  
YUV and RGB. Audio signals are also output together through  
this socket.  
If you have connected the digital receiver and your televsion  
by 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 dig-  
ital receiver, you do not have to set this option because the  
digital receiver outputs CVBS video through RCA connector  
independent of SCART connector.  
However, If you have connected them by S-VIDEO connec-  
tor, you have to set this option to S-Video because the output  
through S-Video connector comes from the SCART interface.  
Similarly, if you have done by YUV connectors (Y, Pb and Pr),  
you have to set this option to YUV because of the same reason.  
It is known in general that YUV color model provides the  
best video quality with little difference from RGB color model  
while CVBS color model does the least. Anyway, not all tele-  
visions with a SCART socket support YUV color model. Make  
sure your television supports YUV color model before setting  
the Video Output option to YUV. But there would rarely be  
television sets that have a SCART socket but do not support  
RGB color model. So RGB would be the most desirable value  
for this option.  
3.2.3 Video cassette recorder  
The SCART socket that reads VCR on the back panel of the  
digital receiver is for a video recorder. You would have con-  
nected the digital receiver to your video recorder or such an  
appliance by this connector.  
If you have connected the VCR socket to the input SCART  
socket of your video recorder, you have to set the VCR Scart  
Type option to Standard. If you have connected it to the out-

3.2 Video and audio settings 19  
put SCART socket, 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 recorder to your television when the  
video recorder starts playback. But if the option is set to Ex-  
ternal A/V, the digital receiver will not pass the video even  
though the video recorder starts playback. To pass it, you have  
to press  
button.  
NOTE In this case, it is impossible that the digital receiver  
records the video that the video recorder plays back  
because the digital receiver is just a bypass for the video  
recorder.  
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.

20 Preference Settings  
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  
button when you watch a program. For detailed descrip-  
tions about how to change the sound mode, refer to § 5.1.3.

1. Set the Mode option to Auto.  
2. Set the Time Offset option to the time difference corre-  
sponding to your time zone refering to Table 3.1.  
With the above settings, the digital receiver will scan all transpon-  
ders spceified one by one until to get the Greenwich mean  
time. Make sure that your local time is displayed right on the  
Local Time option.  
To set the local time yourself, set the Mode option to Manual  
and enter your local time to the Local Time option with the  
numeric buttons.  
The time format is day/month/year 24-hour:minute.

ically assign a dynamic IP address to  
a computer or device connected to the  
network by enabling the DHCP server  
of the access point. In this case, you can  
access the digital receiver if you know  
the IP address which is assigned to the  
digital receiver by the access point.  
For how to verify the dynamic IP address assigned, refer to §

request to the digital receiver by port forwarding. By this fea-  
ture, the access point will connect you to the digital receiver  
when you try to access it with the IP address of the access  
point.  
Your access point may be assigned to a dynamic IP address by  
a Internet Service Provider (ISP). So if the access point has re-  
booted, you cannot access it as long as someone in your home  
does not inform you of the changed IP address. However,  
many access points support Dynamic Domain Name System  
(DDNS) service, which can settle this problem.

9.2 Configuring the digital receiver’s WLAN settings 59  
If you use a DDNS service, you can access the access point  
with the domain name that you specified for it not a IP ad-  
dress.  
How to use the DDNS service is as follows:  
1. Join a web site of which DDNS service is supported by  
your access point.  
2. Configure the access point with your account of the web  
site.  
When a new dynamic IP address is assigned to the access point,  
it will inform the DDNS service provider of the new IP ad-  
dress. This makes it possible that you can access the access  
point with its domain name at any time.

There are two modes for Network type. One is infrastructure  
mode and the other is ad-hoc mode. Infrastucture mode al-  
lows a wirelss LAN to be integrated into an existing wired  
network through an access point (AP). Ad-hocs mode is used  
for a simple peer-to-peer network. This mode only allows the  
sharing of local resources between wireless clients without an  
AP.  
TX Rate shows the transfer rate between the digital receiver  
and the AP or other wireless clients.  
Channel is automatically assigned to if Network Type is set to  
Infratstructure.  
Security shows the encryption type specified.  
IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway show the network in-  
fromation specified.
