Introduction

1.1 Introduction

The TF 5000 PVRt Masterpiece digital receiver is fully compli-

ant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)

standard, and can receive digital broadcastings. To operate it,

you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.

Unlike analog broadcastings, digital broadcastings are not all

assigned to their own frequencies; 1instead, several television

and radio broadcastings are transmitted through a single trans-

ponder on a single wideband carrier.

NOTE A transponder is in fact a wireless device, which re-

ceives and transmits radio signals at a prescribed fre-

quency range. You may regard a transponder as a

channel. One channel has one broadcasting in ana-

log broadcast; on the other hand, one transponder has

several broadcastings in digital broadcast. So the word

service is used instead of channel to indicate a broad-

casting in this document.

To help you with the choice and setting for broadcasting ser-

vices, a selection of television and radio services have already

been programmed for you. So all broadcasting services that

have gone on air are available to you. You can ﬁnd the latest

transponder information from various broadcasters on tele-

text.

The TF 5000 PVRt Masterpiece digital receiver has features as

follows:

•The digtial receiver is able to memorize up to 2000 tele-

vision and radio services.

•Electronic Program Guide (EPG) provides an overview

of program schedules for next few hours.

•You can edit the service list and make your own favorite

service list.

•You can view the information of a current television or

radio program.

•You can update the ﬁrmware of the digital receiver to

the latest, which will be provided by Topﬁeld.

•The digital receiver features a digital video recorder with

two tuners, with which you can record your choice of

broadcasting services independently of ones you are cur-

rently watching.

•The large storage capacity of the built-in hard disk al-

lows you to record up to 40 hours of material—in case

of 80 gigabytes—in excellent picture and sound quality.

•Time shift function is a special technical feature. You

can pause the program you are watching and resume it

again at a later time. You can quickly ﬁnd whatever part

of the current program by reverse or forward search.

•During a recording in progress, you can select a different

program from the archive and watch it.
