Introduction

The TF 400 PVRt digital receiver is fully compliant with the

international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and

thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For

its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed

appropriately.

NOTE

In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike ana-

logue broadcasts, however, digital broadcasts are not all as-

signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television

broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The fre-

quency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. 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

The TF 400 PVRt digital receiver has the following features:

• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.

2 Introduction

• You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.

•

You can view information about the current television or

radio programme.

•

Has an electronic programme guide that provides an

overview of scheduled programmes.

•

You can update the ﬁrmware of the digital receiver to the

latest version which would be provided by the manufac-

turer.

•

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 about 60 hours of television

—in case of 250 gigabytes— in excellent picture and sound

quality.

•

Time shift is a special technical feature available on the TF

400 PVRt. You can pause the programme you are watch-

ing and resume it again at a later time. Then you can

quickly go to whatever part of the current programme by

fast foward and backward search.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control

and the buttons on the front panel.

NOTE

When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,

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

on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the

digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet

to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any

time.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3

1.2.1 The front panel

digital receiver, and speciﬁc lamps and a display to indicate its
