Introduction

The CRC-2400 digital receiver is fully compliant with the inter-

national Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus

is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.

NOTE

In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,

unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all

assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple televi-

sion broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.

The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-

ponder or multiplex. 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

This digital receiver has the following features:

• Can store up to 2,000 television and radio services.

• Can create lists of your favourite services.

2 Introduction

• Can view information about the current television or ra-

dio programme.

• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an

overview of scheduled programmes.

• You can record one service while you are currently

watching another.

• You can record many programmes using a built-in hard

drive with large storage capacity.

• Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this

digital receiver. You can pause a programme you are

watching and resume it again at a later time. Then you

can quickly go to any part of the current programme by

fast forward or rewind search.

• If you have an external hard drive connected to the dig-

ital receiver via the USB port, you can record television

programmes into it.

• You can play back video ﬁles of various formats includ-

ing DivX.

• You can use various Web services including YouTube.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or

the buttons on the front panel.

NOTE

When the digital receiver is oﬀ but plugged into a wall

socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,

when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not

using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into

a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer

events at any time.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3

1.2.1 Front panel

The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control

the digital receiver, speciﬁc lights and a display to indicate its

status. The following indicates what they mean.

button switches the digital receiver between standby mode

and active mode.

Front display shows the current time in standby mode, and

displays the current service in active mode.

MENU button displays the main menu. It is also used to return

to the previous menu from a submenu.

OK button displays the services list. See §5.2.1 for more de-

tails. It is also used to select a menu item.

CHANNEL

vice.
