room temperature.
• Make sure the video is placed at least 10cm apart from
other home appliances or obstacles to get sufficient
ventilation.

splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on top of the video.
• Put the video on a steady, flat surface.
• Only clean the video with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not
use harsh or alcohol-based cleaning agents.
For your own safety!
• There are no components in this VCR receiver you can
service or repair yourself.
• Do not open the case of the VCR receiver. Only allow a
qualified engineer to repair or service your video.

2 You can check your receiver's version by pressing [red]
color button on main menu.
At the ‘software Stand’, 4th and 5th digits express the
Firmware Version. Likewise other products, higher number

SETTOP
1 Enter "User Installation" menu and press the [Green] button on remote control and open
"SatcoDX Link" dialog.
Upon opening the dialog, Settop Box starts waiting the data transmission from PC and if this
doesn’t occur after some time, it will inform the users of time out.
2 Click "Program Receiver" button to make the transmission started before the Settop dialog is
Timeout.
3 If the data transmission is made in normal way, "SatcoDX Link" dialog will not be changed
unless there is any transmission error. In case of transmission error or timeout, recheck the
connection status of cable or PC set-up and restart the whole process from beginning.
4 If the data transmission is successfully made, "SatcoDX Link" dialog will display how many
channels have been transmitted. The number of transmitted channel may be less than that
in the channel list of PC and this is because Settop ignores the information on data channel
and analog channel. When user push [OK] button and check if the data has been saved or
not, all the satellite information and channel information seen before are deleted and its
channel information will be restructured with the data transmitted through SatcoDX. If user
wants to go back to the shipping status at the factory, "Factory Default" function can be
used.
5 The channel information transmitted by using "World of Satellites" doesn’t include the
detail set-up of each satellite. Therefore, user should enter "Channel Search" menu and
change the LNB and DiSEqC set-up of each satellite appropriately and finally, check if
transponder signal has been received or not by signal bar for the purpose of seeing its
transmitted channel more conveniently.

Before you do the [TP search], check the frequency and
symbol rate of the TP which you want to search channels
from. On [TP search] process all we need are just the frequency and symbol rate.
