Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of this state-of-the-art Digital Television
Recorder (DTR). We hope you will enjoy all the new features this technology
brings to your home for many years. Your DTR is going to revolutionise the
way you watch TV.
You can pause live TV, for example while you answer the phone and then
resume watching where you left o. You can also record two dierent
channels at the same time. Delayed viewing, fast-forward and rewind
functions allow you to play and replay the sports action without having
to worry about the rest of the game which is still being recorded. These
features could make you lose track of time, but fortunately the LIVE TV
button brings you back to the present instantly.
We’re sure that you want to get started. On the following pages are a quick
start guide to help you set the DTR up in just six easy steps. On page 11
there is a guide on Using Your DTR Remote Control. There are detailed
explanations for each step later on in the manual and on page 44 you will
nd the terms and conditions covering your DTR.
If you need any further information about your DTR, or want to see more
information about the programmes currently on Top Up TV, then just visit

Note: This product can be upgraded from software updates broadcast over
the air to your DTR. Top Up TV reserves the right to transmit software updates
that it would consider appropriate in order to improve the functionality of
the product, without degrading the quality level.

BUsing the SCART lead, connect the TV SCART socket on your DTR to
the AV1/EXT1/AUX1 SCART socket at the back of your TV.
CConnect the mains lead to the mains socket and switch on at the mains.
Reconnect the power to all your existing equipment and turn your TV on.
When you plug your DTR into the power supply, a red light and the message

This will conrm that the remote control is working correctly. Now wait for
the light on the front of your DTR to turn from red to green.

Step 4 – Channel Scan
You will see this screen showing that
your DTR is now searching for all available
channels.
In the event that your DTR does not
nd any channels, or has missed some,
see the section on what to do if your
Installation fails, on page 10.
When your DTR has successfully found all channels, your DTR will search for
and install the extended 14 day Programme Guide software. Please note
that when you start to use the extended guide after installation, that this
may take up to 24 hours to fully populate.
Step 5 – Parental Control
You will now be prompted to set up
the Parental Control PIN for your DTR.
For Top Up TV subscribers, this controls
who will have access to the extra
programmes, which are downloaded
automatically to your DTR every night.
The Parental Control PIN will not
control or restrict access to Freeview
programmes (your default PIN is 0000.)
If children have access to your DTR, it is advisable to select the maximum
appropriate viewing certication now, in order to restrict access. E.g. by
selecting 12, you will restrict access to programmes rated 15 or higher.
Once you have completed this step, press on your remote.
For more parental control options please refer to page 28.

channels. You can also upgrade to PictureBox which gives you an additional
30 movies a month or take Setanta Sports, a must-have for sports fans.
Press

to appear in your DTR library, but you will be able to watch your Freeview
channels right away.
