Introduction
The TF 5100 PVR digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international 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. However,
unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as-
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre-
quency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called
transponder. To reduce confusion, the word service is prefer-
ably used than channel as service indicates one television or
radio broadcast in this manual.
1.1 Features
The TF 5100 PVR digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• Has an electronic program guide that provides an over-
view of program schedules for next few hours.
2 Introduction
• You can make a favorite list with your favorite channels.
• You can view the information of the current television or
radio program.
• You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to
the latest version, which will be provided by the manu-
facturer.
• You can record one broadcasting service while you are
currently watching another.
• The large storage capacity of the built-in hard disk drive
allows you to record up to 80 hours of program—in case
of 160 gigabytes—in excellent picture and sound quality.
• Time shift is a special technical feature available on the
TF 5100 PVR. You can pause the program you are watch-
ing and resume it again at a later time. You can also
quickly go to whatever part of the current program by
fast foward and rewind search.
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 to a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when
it is on, it is in operation mode. You should keep the digital
receiver plugged to a wall outlet on standby mode so as it can
run timer events at any time.
1.2.1 The front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, and specific lamps and a display to indi-
cate its status. The following indicates what they mean.
