Introduction
The TF 5000CI / 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. However,
unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as-
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre-
quency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called
transponder. To reduce confusion, the word service is prefer-
ably used than channel as service indicates one television or
radio broadcast in this manual.
1.1 Features
The TF 5000CI / TF 5100 CI digital receiver has the following
features:
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
2 Introduction
ALS.
• Can store up to 5000 television and radio services.
• Has an electronic program guide that provides an overview
of program schedules for next few hours.
• You can edit the service list.
• You can make a favorite list with your favorite channels.
• You can view the information of the current television or
radio program.
• You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to
the latest version, which will be provided by the manu-
facturer.
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 to a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when
it is on, it is in operation mode. You should keep the digital
receiver plugged to a wall outlet on standby mode so as it can
run timer events at any time.
1.2.1 The front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to operate
the digital receiver, and specific lamps and a display to indi-
cate its status. Their usage is as follows:
