Introduction

The TF 7100 HD PVRt digital receiver is fully compliant with

the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard,

and thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.

For its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed

appropriately.

NOTE

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

unlike analogue broadcasts, 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 7100 HD PVRt digital receiver has the following fea-

tures:

• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.

2 Introduction

•

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 record one service while you are currently watch-

ing another.

•

The large storage capacity of the hard disk drive allows

you to record up to about 125 hours of SD services and

up to 40 hours of HD services —in case of 250 gigabytes—

in excellent picture and sound quality.

•

Time shift is a special technical feature available on the

TF 7100 HD PVRt. You can pause the programme you

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

you can quickly go to whatever part of the current pro-

gramme by fast forward or backward search.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can operate the digital receiver 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.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3

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 indicate its

status. The following indicates what they mean.

STANDBY

button switches the digital receiver between

standby mode and operation mode.

CHANNEL

buttons switch to previous or next service.

They are also used to navigate in menus and interactive

screens.

VOLUME

buttons decrease or increase the volume.

They are also used to change values for menu options.

Front display

displays the current time in standby mode,

and displays the current service in operation mode.

There is a tiny ﬂap on the bottom right-hand side that protects

the USB port, to which you can connect USB devices like a

memory stick or an external hard disk drive.
