Introduction

The TF 5000 CIP digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-

ternational Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, 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 5000 CIP 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.

• Has an electronic program guide that provides an over-

view 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 control

the digital receiver, and speciﬁc lamps and a display to indi-

cate its status. The following indicates what they mean.
