Overview
1.1 Introduction
The TF6000F digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-
ternational digital video broadcasting standard, and can play
digital satellite services. To operate it, you need a satellite an-
tenna, which must be installed and directed at the required
satellite.
Unlike analogue broadcasting, digital television and radio ser-
vices are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, sev-
eral television and radio are transmitted by a single transpon-
der.
To help you with the choice and settings for satellite services,
a selection of television and radio services have already been
programmed for you. You can do service search so that all the
satellite services that have since gone on air are available to
you. Of course, you can easily program new services yourself.
You can find the current transponder information on teletext
from various broadcasters.
The TF6000F digital receiver has the features as follows:

Installation
2.1 Packing Contents
Unpack your receiver and check the following cables and ac-
cessories are also included in the package:
•1 remote control.
•2 batteries (AAA 1.5 V).
•1 user manual
2.2 Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully for your
safety.
•The mains supply must be 90 to 250 volt. Check it before
connecting the digital receiver to the mains supply.
•This digital receiver is designed to receive, record and
play back video and audio signals. Any other use is ex-
pressly prohibited.
6Installation
•When setting up the digital receiver, make sure it is in
a horizontal position and that the mains socket is easily
accessible.
•Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture. The
digital receiver is designed for use in dry rooms. If you
do use it outdoors, please ensure that it is protected from
moisture, such as rain or splashing water. Do not place
any vessels such as vases on the digital receiver. These
may be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical
components, thus presenting a safety risk.
•Do not place the digital receiver close to heating units or
in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling. Place the
digital receiver on a hard, level surface. Do not lay any
objects such as magazines on the digital receiver. When
placed in a cabinet, make sure there is a minimum space
of 10 cm around it.
•Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even
if the digital receiver player is switched off, it can be
damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the an-
tenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs
during a storm.
•Never open the digital receiver casing under any cir-
cumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage
resulting from improper handling.
