ABOUT YOUR HIGH DEFINITION RECEIVER
Your receiver allows you to watch programs filmed in High
Definition with much greater picture and sound quality than ever
before. In addition you can do everything you would expect with
a state of the art TV receiver, including the following:
■Watch free-to-air and pay TV channels including scrambled
programs
■Full parental control to prevent your children watching unde-
sirable programs
■Access to interactive applications such as home shopping,
games, and e-voting
■Find your favourite channels quickly on your personal lists
WHAT IS HDTV?
HDTV (High Definition Television) is a new digital broadcasting
standard bringing you much higher quality video and audio
compared with the previous technology.
There are several reasons why HDTV provides a superior TV
viewing experience:
1. Higher resolution pictures give sharper images
The picture on your TV screen is made up of dots known as pixels,
and more of them give sharper pictures and display movement
more realistically. The number of such dots on the screen, given
as the number of lines, is a measure of the quality, known as
resolution, and the higher the better. Standard definition pictures
have 576 lines per screen, while High Definition TV sets can
display either 720 or 1080 depending on the model.
2. Surround Sound
Many HD programs are broadcast with surround sound (Dolby
Digital), which combined with the panoramic picture creates a
cinema-like experience, with much higher audio quality than
most standard definition TVs.
To get surround sound you’ll need to have an appropriate TV
set or connect your receiver via its S/PDIF connector to a home
cinema device.
3. HDMI Connector
The HDMI connector transmits the HDTV pictures and sound to
your TV set with the best possible quality. You must check though
that your TV set supports High Definition Content Protection
(HDCP), which is needed for the HDMI connector to work. If the
HDMI cable cannot be used, your receiver can be connected to
the TV set with a conventional SCART cable.
You will need a TV capable of displaying HD pictures at full
quality to enjoy HD programs. Such TVs are labelled ‘HD
Ready’ or ‘Full HD.’ Check in your TV manual if unsure whether
it is ‘HD ready’ or ‘Full HD’.

This receiver has an external power supply that works in the range 100
to 240V AC, 50/60 Hz. Ensure you plug the power input lead into a
standard AC wall outlet, and not any DC power source. Remember that
contact with the AC power supply can be lethal.
Ensure that all cables, including the power input lead, are inserted
properly into the receiver before connecting it to the AC power supply.
Similarly always unplug the receiver from the power supply first, before
disconnecting cables from the receiver or reconnecting them.
Never attempt to repair or reconstruct the receiver yourself. You can get
a serious electric shock if you attempt to open the casing.
Be extremely careful if this receiver gets wet for any reason. Immediately
unplug it from the mains supply.
DO
■If any object falls into the casing, unplug the receiver and
have it checked by a qualified technician.
■Allow adequate air circulation around the unit to prevent
internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit next to a radia-
tor or any heat source, and make sure that the air vents are
left clear.
DO NOT
■Do not expose the receiver to extreme temperatures, direct
sunlight, or high humidity.
■Do not place any objects on top of the receiver since that
could restrict air circulation.
■Do not place the receiver on fabric furnishings, carpets or
other flammable materials.
This digital receiver has been manufactured to meet international
safety standards. However, safety precautions must be followed
to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the device.
Please take note of the following guidelines to avoid the risk of
an electric shock.
SAFETY FIRST
Thank you for purchasing an i-CAN 3820T!

TV CONNECTIONS
There are two ways of connecting the receiver to your TV set.
■Connection with HDMI cable is the most recommended one.
It provides the highest picture and audio quality. The receiver
automatically detects the best resolution for your TV. But
this requires support for the High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) standard from your TV set.
■If there is no possibility of connecting the receiver with HDMI
cable, use SCART cable.
SURROUND SOUND
If you would like to enjoy Dolby surround sound, connect your
home cinema system to the receiver with an S/PDIF cable.
To enjoy surround sound, press , select “Audio
Mode” in “Your Preferences” menu and choose “Sur-
round”. Surround sound will be audible only if it is
broadcast with the program.
SD TV
HD TV
Home Cinema
If your receiver is connected with SCART cable, please
make sure that the picture resolution is set to 576i
on the receiver’s menu. If the reslution of the screen
is different, then the graphic is not displayed. Press
several times , on the remote control unit of your
i-CAN receiver until it switches on to 576i mode and
the graphic appears.

INTERNET SET UP
You may need to set up or reconfigure your Internet connection
for interactive services to work properly. First connect an Ethernet
cable to the Ethernet connector on the back of your receiver, then
set up the connection by going to the Network Configuration
window (Menu > Installation > Network Configuration). This
gives you two options for Internet configuration:
■Automatic Configuration - try this option first, as in most
cases your Internet Service should be able to support auto-
matic discovery of your new device.
■Manual Configuration allows you to enter data manually if
automatic configuration is not possible. You can contact your
Internet Service Provider for help.
