•Television Antenna Booster providing stronger TV/FM signal to two devices

•Three-Way Splitter for feeding TV antenna signal to three devices

•Bang & Olufsen Beomaster 7000 Radio/Amplifier (for quality sound)

•Bang & Olufsen Beocord 8000 Audio Tape Cassette Player

•Toshiba 2918DH Television (TV)

•Panasonic NV-HV60 Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)

1.5 Some Technical Terms

TERM MEANING

BRC Beomaster Remote Control (s). Small one in bedroom and large one in

lounge room.

Button A button on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. DVB) or

displayed on screen.

Chapter and Track Each title can contain one or more “Chapters” or “Tracks”

DRC DVR Remote Control

DVD Digital Versatile Disk. A removable storage device for video and data

files. We make a distinction between:

•DVD-R or DVD+R, disks that can be recorded once only.

•DVD-RW or DVD+RW, disks that are rewritable.

Recordings on rewritable DVD disks can be done in several sessions

(prior to disk finalisation).

DVDs recorded can always be played back on this device, but to make a

recorded DVD playable on a computer and other DVD players a process

of “Disk Finalisation” needs to be performed.

DVR Digital Video Recorder. A machine that can record video using digital

(rather than analogue) technology. This term is perhaps not used as

much as PVR, but is probably the better term.

HDD Hard Disk Drive. A storage device for large amounts of data. The

Tevion DVR has an HDD capacity of 400Gb,

Key A key on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. HDD)

PVR Personal Video Recorder. A machine that can record video not just for

you but for anyone else who is around.

Recording Quality This device can record on HDD and DVD in six different densities

giving rise to six different levels of recording quality each taking up

increasing amounts of space:

SPEED DVD HDD QUALITY

SLP (Super Long Play) 6 hrs 562 hrs Low

EP (Extended Play) 4 hrs 371 hrs Moderate

LP (Long Play) 3 hrs 261 hrs Normal

SP+ (Standard Play +) 2.5 hrs 221 hrs Good

SP (Standard Play) 2 hrs 191 hrs Very Good

HQ (High Quality) 1 hrs 94 hrs Best

Title Each recording is called a “Title” or a “program”. The term “Title” is

also used for a text field associated with a recorded TV program in

which you can enter a textual name to identify the program.

TRC TV Remote Control

VCR Video Cassette Recorder. Amachine that can record video on video

tape cassettes.

VRC VCR Remote Control

Alarge circular Power Indicator is located at the right corner on the front of the unit. When the

unit is plugged in and powered on, the power indicator will be lit in one of three different

colours, depending on the current mode of operation:

2.2 Connection Details

Cable connections are shown below to facilitate reconnections should that be required. Most

cables are Quad Shielded Radio Frequency (RF) Coaxial type. By utilising the “pass-

through/loop” features on both DVR and VCR, the cabling has been made as simple as possible

giving priority to the DVR and VRC and leaving only Radio/Amplifier and TV to be connected

via a splitter. One socket on Booster and one socket on Splitter are still unused.

3. Initial DVR Set Up Procedure

After all device connections have been accomplished a number of initial setup procedures will

need to be performed. Areas shaded in grey may or may not be needed as part of the procedure

(they are mostly to do with our particular procedures for powering devices up or down).

3.1 Searching for Australian Analogue TV Channels

Since we are (in Australia) still using analogue TV signals, the available channels need to be

configured:

1. On TRC press Power button to turn on the TV (if not already on).

2. On TRC press button until

is shown.

3. On DRC press STANDBY/ON button to turn on the DVR and wait until “No disc”

message is shown.

4. On DRC press SETUP button to enter “Setup” menus and display the “Setup Menu –

Recording”.

5. On DRC press Right Arrow button to actually enter “Setup Menu – Recording”.

6. On DRC press Down Arrow button to “Auto Scan Channel” option.

7. On DRC press SELECT button to start a search for Analogue TV Channels. This will

take a few minutes. Each channel found is identified by a program number (Pxxx) and a

channel number (CHzzz).

8. The following Analogue TV programs and channel numbers were found and saved, but

further setup is required for convenient use of these programs.

P003 CH002 (should be renamed ABC01)

P009 CH007

P011 CH009

P013 CH010

P025 CH028 (should be renamed SBS28)

P028 CH031

9. On DRC press Down Arrow button to “Program Table” option. Then Right Arrow

button to get into the menu. Use Down Arrow button to move down to an identified

channel, e.g. CH002 and pressing the SELECT button.

10. On DRC press Up Arrow button to “Modify Channel” option. Then Right Arrow button

to get into the menu. Use Down Arrow button to move down to the Name field and

change it one character at a time to the desired name (e.g. CH002 changed to ABC01) and

pressing the SELECT button.

11. Repeat Steps 9-10 renaming CH028 to SBS28.

12. These channel names will now appear in the Source list.

13. On DRC press SETUP button to exit “Setup” menus.

3.2 Searching for Australian Digital TV Channels

Since we are (in Australia) beginning to use digital TV signals, the available channels need to

be configured.

1. On TRC press Power button to turn on the TV (if not already on).

2. On TRC pressed button until

is shown.

3. On DRC press STANDBY/ON button to turn on the DVR and wait until “No disc”

message is shown.

4. On DRC press DVB button.

5. On DRC press SETUP button to enter “Setup” menus and display the “Setup Menu –

Recording”.

6. On DRC press Up Arrow button to display the “Setup Menu – DVB”.

7. On DRC press Right Arrow button to actually enter “Setup Menu – DVB”

8. On DRC press Down Arrow button to “Auto Scan Digital Channels” option.

9. On DRC press SELECT button to start a search for Digital TV Channels. This will take a

few minutes. Each channel found is identified by a program number and a channel name.

10. It turns out that the list of 21 available digital TV channels identified by this search

actually includes 5 of the 6 available analogue TV channels (only Channel 31 was not

found for some reason). In addition, the scan also found 6 digital radio stations (available

via the RADIO button).

11. On DRC press SETUP button to exit Setup menu.
