Overview

1.1 Introduction

The TF6500F 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 TF6500F digital receiver has the features as follows:

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.
