Introduction

The TF 7710 HSCI/TF 7720 HSCI digital receiver is fully com-pliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)standard, and can receive digital broadcasts. For its operationyou 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 televisionbroadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The fre-quency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. Toreduce confusion in this manual, the word service is preferablyused than channel as a term to indicate one television or radiobroadcast.

1.1 Features

The TF 7710 HSCI/TF 7720 HSCI digital receiver has the follow-ing features:

• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-ALS.

1.3 What is common interface?

Some broadcasts are scrambled so that only paidsubscribers can enjoy them. Scrambled servicescan only be viewed with a Conditional AccessModule (CAM) and a subscription card belong-ing with the scrambling system.

Common Interface (CI) is the slot on a digitialreceiver into which a conditional access modulemay be insterted. The front of the digital receiverhas two common interfaces.

To watch a pay service, you should take the following steps:

6 Introduction

1. Purchase a conditional access module and a subscriptioncard for the pay service you want to watch.

2. Insert the subscription card into the conditional accessmodule.

3. Insert the conditional access module into a common in-terface on the front of the digital receiver.

To view the information aboutthe module and subscriptioncard inserted into the digital re-ceiver, select the Common Inter-face menu. You should see ascreen like the left figure.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver

There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up thedigital receiver suitably to your television and other appliances.If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contactyour dealer.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11

2.4.1 Connecting the antenna

Whatever sort of connection you have be-tween the digital receiver and the television,you need to connect the digital receiver toyour television antenna so that it can receivedigital television services.

Connect the antenna cable to the LNB IN con-nector.

If you have another digital receiver, you maylink it from the LNB OUT connector.

NOTE

Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could si-multaneouly catch all frequencies coming from a satellite andsend them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite an-tenna only sends the frequencies that it can catch with the LNBfrequency and polarization specified by the digital receiver. Soif you have another digital receiver linked from the LNB OUTconnector, you can only use it limitedly. See § 4.1 for moredetails.

2.4.2 Connecting to your television

Between all the following connectors of the digital receiver, werecommend you to use the first connector to get best picturequality. If your television does not have the matching connector,then use the next connector in the following order for betterpicture quality.

For best results with a standard television set,you should use a SCART cable, plugging oneend into the TV socket on the digital receiverand the other end into a free SCART socketon your television.

Some televisions have inputs via Componentconnector or S-Video connector rather thanSCART.

If you have such a television, use an appropriate conversion ca-ble to link the TV socket on the digital receiver to the matchingsocket on your television.

If you connect with a standard SCART cable, you do not haveto make audio connections because the SCART connector canoutput stereo audio. But if you use a conversion cable, such asSCART-to-Component, you have to make audio connections.

NOTE

You cannot view high definition video with the SCART connec-tor.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13

To use the component video connector

You will need to obtain a component video ca-ble (RCA cable) to use the component videoconnector. Plug one end of the cables into theY (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets onthe digital receiver, and the other end into thematching sockets on your television.

To use the composite video connector

NOTE

You cannot view high definition video withthe composite video connector.

You will need to obtain a composite videocable (RCA cable) to use the composite videoconnector. Plug one end of the cable into theVIDEO (yellow) socket on the digital receiver,and the other end into the matching socketon your television.

Service Search

After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to per-form a service search.

4.1 Searching broadcasting services

This digital receiver can be operated with both fixed antennaand motorized antenna. You have to configure antenna settingsaccording to your antenna system in the following order:

1. Configure LNB settings. (Refer to § 4.1.1.)

2. Set the position of your desired satellites if you havea motorized antenna. You can control the antenna inDiSEqC 1.2 mode or USALS mode. Refer DiSEqC 1.2 to§ 4.1.2, and refer USALS to § 4.1.3.

3. Perform service search.

4.1.1 Configuring LNB settings

There are in large two frequency bands for satellite broadcasts.One is C band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz.

4.1 Searching broadcasting services 27

The other is Ku band which ranges approximately from 12 to18 GHz.

The LNB (Low Noise Block converter)is used to take a wide band of relativelyhigh frequencies, amplify and convertthem to similar signals that is carriedat a much lower frequency, which iscalled Intermediate Frequency (IF).

High frequencies from satellites areconverted into 950 to 2150 MHz by aLNB.

Select the Installation > LNB Set-ting menu to configure the LNBsettings. You should see ascreen like the left figure.

Pressing the�� OK button on the Satellite Name option displays

the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite towardwhich your antenna is set to face. Even if you cannot findyour desired satellite, you can add your desired satellite to thesatellite list. See § 4.2 for detailed description.

The digital receiver has a database about broadcasting satellitesand their transponders, containing the following information:satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, polarizationand LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency range. Soyou might not have to specify the LNB Frequency option. How-

28 Service Search

ever, if you have selected the Other entry at the Satellite Nameoption to specify a satellite that is not in the satellite list, youmight have to fill in the correct LNB frequency. The absolutedifference between a broadcasting frequency and its LNB fre-quency must be within 950 to 2150 MHz. For example, if thefrequency band of your desired satellite ranges from 3660 to4118 MHz, you have to set the LNB Frequency option to 5150MHz.

The LNB has to be supplied with electric power to operate. Setthe LNB Power option to On if it does not have any other powersupply.

You had better ignore the 22 kHz option.

The digital receiver is designed to be compatible with DiSEqC(Digital Satellite Equipment Control) switches. It is possibleto connect several antennas to one digital receiver by DiSEqCswitches. A DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows switching between up tofour satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switchingbetween up to 16 satellite sources.

Set the DiSEqC 1.0 option and the DiSEqC 1.1 option accord-ing to your antenna configuration.

For example, to select the antenna con-nected to the A5 input in the left figure,set the DiSEqC 1.1 option to 2 of 4 andthe DiSEqC 1.0 option to 1 of 4. If youhave a mini DiSEqC 1.0 switch whichhas only two inputs, you should set theDiSEqC 1.0 option to Mini A instead of1 of 4.


4.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings

Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satelliteshorizontally by DiSEqC 1.2.

When you switch to an service, if the service isprovided by a satellite other than current one,it will take longer time than usual because theantenna has to turn to its position.

To use the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol,select the Installation > Motor-ized DiSEqC 1.2 menu. Youshould see a screen like the leftfigure.

At first you have to set the Mo-torized DiSEqC 1.2 option to En-able.

To get the correct position of your desired satellite, perform thefollowing steps:

1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op-tion.

2. Set the DiSEqC Command Mode option to User.

3. Set the Motor Control option to Goto. Then the antennawill turn toward your selected satellite by the positiondata that the digital receiver has.

4. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottomright of the screen, is not good, tune the antenna finelywith the Movement option. If you set it to 2(E), the an-tenna will move to the east by two degrees. At this time

30 Service Search

you had better check the receiving quality of every trans-ponder and choose the best one at the Transponder (orFrequency) option. It will be helpful to your fine tuning.

5. Finally set the Motor Control option to Store to save thetuned position when the receiving quality is best.

There are more motor control options for installers, but thisguide does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer themto the manual about the STAB rotor.

4.1.3 Configuring USALS settings

USALS (Universal Satellite Automatic Location System), alsoknown as DiSEqC 1.3, calculates the positions of all availablesatellites from your location. Compared to DiSEqC 1.2, it is nolonger required to manually search and store every satelliteposition. Just pointing to a known satellite position is enough.This position will act as a central point. The USALS will thencalculate positions of visible satellites.

To use the USALS protocol, se-lect the Installation > USALSSetting menu. You should seea screen like the left figure.

At first you have to set the Mo-torized DiSEqC 1.3 option to En-able.

To get every satellite position calculated, perform the followingsteps:



2. Enter your location to the My Longitude option and theMy Latitude option with the

�� V− ,�� V+ and numeric but-

tons.

3. Enter the position of your selected satellite to the SatelliteAngle option if it is not correct.

4. Select the Goto the position option; then the antennawill turn toward your selected satellite as calculating itsposition.

5. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottomright of the screen, is not good, then tune the antennafinely with the Move option. The changed position isautomatically saved. At this time you had better checkthe receiving quality of every transponder and choosethe best one at the Transponder (or Frequency) option. Itwill be helpful to your fine tuning.
