Introduction
The TF 5000 CI/TF 5100 CI digital receiver is fully compliant
with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) stan-
dard, 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 5000 CI/TF 5100 CI digital receiver has the following
features:
•
Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.
2 Introduction
• Can store up to 5000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
•
You can view information about the current television or
radio programme.
•
Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
•
You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to the
latest version, provided by the manufacturer.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
The digital receiver can be operated with the remote control
and the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is
on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the
digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.
