Introduction

The TF 6400 IR 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. Unlike ana-

logue broadcasts, however, 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 6400 IR digital receiver has the following features:

•

Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-

ALS.

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 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.
