Introduction

The CBP-2001CI+ digital receiver is fully compliant with the

international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and

thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.

NOTE

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

unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all

assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple televi-

sion broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.

The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-

ponder or multiplex. 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

This digital receiver has the following features:

• Can store up to 2,000 television and radio services.

• You can edit the services list.

• Can create lists of your favourite services.

2 Introduction

• Can view information about the current television or ra-

dio programme.

• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an

overview of scheduled programmes.

• Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this

digital receiver. You can pause a programme you are

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

can quickly go to any part of the current programme by

fast forward or rewind search.

• If you have an external hard drive connected to the dig-

ital receiver via the USB port, you can record television

programmes into it.

• You can play back video ﬁles of various formats includ-

ing DivX.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or

the buttons on the front panel.

NOTE

When the digital receiver is oﬀ but plugged into a wall

socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,

when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not

using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into

a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer

events at any time.

the digital receiver, speciﬁc lights and a display to indicate its

vice you want to watch.
