Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of this state-of-the-art Digital Television Recorder
(DTR). We hope you will enjoy all the new features this technology brings to your
home for many years. Your DTR is going to revolutionise the way you watch TV.
You can pause live TV, for example while you answer the phone and then resume
watching where you left off. You can also record two different channels at the
same time. Delayed viewing, fast-forward and rewind functions allow you to play
and replay the sports action without having to worry about the rest of the game
which is still being recorded. These features could make you lose track of time, but
fortunately the LIVE TV button brings you back to the present instantly.
We’re sure that you want to get started. On the following pages are a quick start
guide to help you set the DTR up in just six easy steps. On page 11 there is a guide
on How To Use Your DTR Remote Control. There are detailed explanations for each
step later on in the manual and on page 40 you will find the terms and conditions
covering your DTR.
If you need any further information about your DTR, or want to see more information
about the programmes currently on Top Up TV then just visit topuptv.com
NOTE : This product can be upgraded from software updates broadcast over the
air to your DTR. Top Up TV reserves the right to transmit software updates that it
would consider appropriate in order to improve the functionality of the product,
without degrading the quality level.

Be sure you can receive Digital Terrestrial TV (Freeview) services in your area.
If you are not sure, you should ask your retailer to check your postcode for
you or try one of the following:
• Text your postcode to 83331 (standard rates apply)

AUnplug the aerial cable from your VCR (or TV) and plug it into the
Aerial In socket of your DTR.
BUsing the scart lead, connect the TV SCART socket on your DTR to
the AV1/EXT1/AUX1scart socket at the back of your TV.
CAnd lastly, connect the mains lead to the Mains Input socket on your DTR
and switch on at the mains. Reconnect the power to all your existing
equipment and turn your TV on.
When you plug your DTR into the power supply, a red light will flash quickly then
more slowly for about 45 seconds. You must wait for it to change to solid red or
green before pressing any buttons.
Step 3–Your DTR is ready to scan for channels
Press the DTR button on your remote. The button will momentarily flash. This will
confirm that the remote control is working correctly. Now wait for the light on the
front of your DTR to turn from red to green.
Your TV should now automatically switch to
the DTR input and display the image shown.
If this does not happen, using your TV
remote, manually select the TV SCART input
to which you have connected your DTR.
Refer to your TV handbook if required, but
it is likely that the TV remote button will be
labelled ‘AV’ or have this symbol
Once you can see the image on screen displayed here, and have ensured all
connections are correct, press on your remote.

Step 6–TV Favourites set up
With TV Favourites you’ll get up to 600 carefully selected programmes
downloaded to your Top Up TV+ DTR every month. That’s up to 150 extra
programmes available at any one time on top of your normal Freeview channels.
You can also upgrade to PictureBox which gives you an additional 30 movies
a month or take ESPN, a must-have for sports fans.
Press OK
Using your DTR remote control, now switch to channel 16 and check you are
getting a picture. If you are not getting a picture on channel 16, please refer to
the Troubleshooting section for help.
To activate the extra channels available from Top Up TV, please refer to your
welcome pack.
It may take up to 24 hours for your first TV Favourites and PictureBox programmes
to appear in your DTR library, but you will be able to watch your Freeview
channels right away.
Step 4–Channel Scan
You will see this screen showing that your
DTR is now searching for all available
channels.
In the event that your DTR does not find
any channels, or has missed some, see the
section on what to do if your Installation
fails, on page 10.
When your DTR has successfully found all channels, your DTR will search for and
install the extended 14 day Programme Guide software. Please note that when
you start to use the extended guide after installation, that this may take up to
24 hours to fully populate.
Step 5–Parental Control
You will now be prompted to set up the
Parental Control PIN for your DTR. For Top
Up TV subscribers, this controls who will
have access to the extra programmes, which
are downloaded automatically to your DTR
every night. The Parental Control PIN will
not control or restrict access to Freeview
programmes (your default PIN is 0000.)
If children have access to your DTR, it is advisable to select the maximum
appropriate viewing certification now, in order to restrict access. E.g. by selecting
12, you will restrict access to programmes rated 15 or higher.
Once you have completed this step, press on your remote.
For more parental control options please refer to page 28.

To ensure the best operation of your DTR, we recommend that you leave your DTR
in STANDBY whenever it is not in use. Note that turning the power off at the mains
will prevent your DTR from receiving Top Up TV programmes.
If the installation fails, check the points below and try to rescan
for channels again.
• Check that all the connections have been made as shown in the diagram on
page 6 and the power is switched on to all of the equipment.
• Check that the batteries in the remote control are in the right way round
and press the DTR button. Check that the DTR button flashes when pressed.
• Make sure the TV aerial is connected directly to your DTR (1st in chain).
• Check any signal boosters are Digital TV compatible and switched on.
• Repeat the installation by following the channel scan instructions on page 8
of the main user manual.
If the installation still fails, please refer to the Troubleshooting
guide and/or the help pages on the website topuptv.com
You may also call Top Up TV on 08444 159 159 for further
assistance.
If your viewing card has not been inserted into the DTR for 5 days after receipt,
then you may need to call Top Up TV on 08444 159 159 to reactivate the
viewing card.

Using the Menus
Throughout this manual, we will use BOLD text when referring to
remote control button presses, and ITALIC text when referring to a
particular menu level.
You will be using the remote control buttons highlighted and the
coloured buttons, take a moment to find them now.
Please refer to the inside front cover for a full colour image of your
remote control and its primary functions.
To use these menus, you must first press the MENU
button which will then display the main menu.
Now choose the item (called a sub menu) that you
want to look at.
You do this by using the UP arrow (), to move the
yellow box up the list and the DOWN arrow () to
move it down the list.
Once you have highlighted your choice with the
yellow box, press the OK button to move to the new
menu level.
If the DTR states that a PIN number is required (Personal
Identification Number), enter this now.
The default number is 0000. You can find how to change this on
page 28.
As you learn to use the DTR you will find that the number buttons can
take you directly to sub menus without the need for using the arrow
buttons. e.g. Use 4for the fourth item (Set-up), 1for the first item
(Programme Guide), etc.
In each menu, look at the bottom lines of text for more information
on which buttons to press. This could be arrow buttons (or ) or
the coloured buttons.
Finally, when you have finished making adjustments, use the BACK
button to return to the TV picture. You may need to press it more than
once, depending on the menu item.
Using Your DTR
Your DTR has access to two programme guides. Initially your DTR will provide
the standard Freeview 8day Programme Guide, but as soon as your DTR has
acquired the Top Up TV on-screen programming guide, you will have access to
14 day listings. The Programme Guide screen gives you a fast way of planning
your viewing and recording. To access this guide, press the GUIDE button.
The guide shows the next three periods of 30 minutes, for each channel. While in the Programme
Guide, you can navigate around using the arrow buttons. UP / DOWN arrows will move between
channels, while the LEFT and RIGHT arrows move in time. The Guide is split into three sections of
30 minutes each. The information contained in a time segment usually shows the name of the
programme. This is only the case when the programme takes up the whole of that 30 minute time
slot. As programmes can be longer or shorter than 30 minutes, the Programme Guide has been
constructed to inform you of this.
If a programme is longer than 30 minutes the next time slot shows three dots to indicate that
the programme runs in to the next slot. If a programme is shorter that 30 minutes the programme
name is followed by an arrow to indicate that more than one programme exists in that slot.
If a programme does not start exactly on the time boundary, it will have two dots in front of the
programme name to indicate that it starts later than the time shown in the column heading.
If you leave the highlighter box over a programme
for more than five seconds, a box will appear
showing a synopsis of the programme. It also shows
the start and end times for that programme in the
top right-hand corner.

Across the bottom of the screen are a number of functions activated by pressing the coloured buttons
on your remote control.
Go to day
Pressing the GREEN button will bring up an overlay box
(pop-up). This is the GO TO DAY menu.
Using the UP and DOWN arrows you will move the highlighter
to a day in the future. Pressing OK will take you back to the
Programme Guide, but now the guide is showing programmes
on the day you selected. From here you can set up recordings
or reminders.
Set reminder
Pressing the YELLOW button will add a reminder to the currently highlighted programme. You can
see if you have set a reminder as the reminder icon will appear next to the programme name.
If you wish to cancel the reminder, press the YELLOW button again.
When that event arrives, you will be reminded by a pop-up
which will appear on-screen.
You can accept the reminder by pressing the GREEN button to
watch the programme or cancel it with the RED button.
Using Your DTR
Record
Pressing the button will take you to the PLANNED
RECORDINGS screen. Press the button again to add the
recording to the planned recordings list. When you go back
to the TV Guide, you will see next to the planned recording.
For more information on planned recordings, please refer to
‘How to make Recordings’ on page 21.
TV Favourites
In addition to the standard Freeview channels, your DTR can
also give you access to a wider range of programmes on TV
Favourites. By subscribing to TV Favourites for a small
monthly fee, your DTR will automatically record and
download programmes from channels such as G.O.L.D.
Home, Warner TV, National Geographic, The Disney Channel,
The best of the BBC and more, for you to watch whenever
it suits you.
By subscribing to Top Up TV for a small monthly fee, your DTR will automatically record and

Using your Programme Library
Programme Search
The powerful search facility allows for searching the entire
Programme Guide and Programme Library.
NOTE: To select the search facility use the RED button in
the Guide, to record programmes from the Guide use the
RECORD button.
Use the NUMBERED buttons on your remote control to
enter text. Enter either as much of the channel name or the programme title as you know and a list
of programmes matching your search request will appear allowing you to watch or record the
programmes. For example, entering ‘bbc’ as a channel name will return results for all channels
starting with the text ‘bbc’ (BBC ONE, BBC TWO, BBC THREE, etc.) whereas entering ‘bbc o’ will
return results for BBC ONE.
NOTE: Buttons 0and 1provide punctuation such as spaces and full-stops. If you enter the wrong
character, use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to move the cursor. Use the RED button to delete a
character and GREEN to insert.
To move between the search criteria, use the REWIND (<<) and
FAST-FORWARD (>>) buttons. Use the COLOUR buttons to delete and
insert as indicated on screen. Date and time options are also selected
using the COLOUR buttons. When selecting the time, the NUMBER
buttons can be used to enter the time. The search results can also be
refreshed by pressing the OK button.
To select a programme in the
search results, press DOWN
and the cursor will move into
the search results list.
The COLOUR buttons can then
be used to either watch or
record any of the
programmes. The INFO
button can be used to display a synopsis of the programme.
The PG+ and PG- buttons can be used to page through the
search results. Use the COLOUR buttons to return to the
search criteria in order to refine your search.
Using Your DTR
Your Programme Library is where all of your recorded and
Top Up TV programmes are stored. To access it, press the
LIBRARY button or Option 2from the Main Menu.
Your Programme Library will be empty at first, but as you start
to record programmes and Top Up TV programmes are
downloaded to your DTR, it will fill up. Note that it will take 7
days from set up for your Top Up TV programmes to be fully
downloaded.
Your Programme Library is partitioned into two sections.
The top section shows your recorded programmes, and any
Top Up TV programmes that you have saved. You can store
recordings here and delete them once you’ve watched them. To
delete a recording, use the arrow keys to highlight the
recording and press the BLUE button. Note that to manage the
space available in both sections, you need to customise your
Top Up TV viewing – see page 26 for full details.
The bottom section is where your Top Up TV programmes are
stored. You will notice that the screen appears slightly different.
There are two differences. The first and most important is the
Days Left column, and the second is the RED Save button.
Days Left
This shows how many days the programme will remain stored
on your DTR before it is automatically deleted and replaced
with new programmes. You may watch the programme at
anytime, but if the Days Left number reaches zero, you only
have a few hours left before the programme is overwritten. If
you would like to watch the programme, but do not have time
within the time remaining, you can move the programme to
the top section by pressing the RED button. The programme
will now appear in the top sections of the Programme Library
and the Days Left will show Saved. For some programmes,
rights restrictions means we are unfortunately not able to offer the Save feature.
There are a number of functions that are common to both storage areas: If you pause the
highlighter over a programme, that programme will automatically start playing in the small preview
window on the right-hand side of the screen. If you wish to watch the programme, press the OK
button. If you had previously not finished watching a programme, press the GREEN button to resume
the playback from the last watched point.
You can always access the Top Up TV programmes by pressing the Top Up TV button.

How to make Recordings
Folders
Programmes on your DTR are automatically placed in folders
to help organise your library and make them easy to find
later. Each recording can reside in more than one folder, the
ALL category and typically one other genre folder, for
example, Movies, Sport, Kids etc.
To move between folders use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow
buttons. To highlight a programme use the UP and DOWN
buttons. To view the programme, press the OK button.
Synopsis
With the highlighter over a recording, pressing the INFO button will pop-up a small window with a
brief summary of the contents of that given programme. Press INFO again to exit synopsis.
Delete
With the highlighter over a recording, press the BLUE button. You will see a confirmation pop-up to
confirm that you wish to delete the programme or exit without deleting.
Icons
There are two icons used to assist you in managing your Programme Library.
The at the end of the programme name field is used to indicate that a programme has been watched.
The at the end of the programme name field is used to indicate that a programme is currently ‘playing’.
Pop-ups
Finally, you need to be aware of a few pop-ups that may appear to help you with your selections.
Depending upon the way you have set-up your DTR, or if you
have not set-up enough storage space on your DTR or you
have simply run out of space, your DTR will prompt you that
there is not enough space to store your selection. If this
happens, you will need to delete some of your recordings if
you wish to save additional programmes.
Also, a similar pop-up may appear if you are saving a
programme that will limit the storage space for any future
recording. In this instance you may save this programme, but
you should also go to the Planned Recordings menu to make
sure you have enough space and if necessary delete old
recordings.
Using Your DTR
Your DTR will allow you to customise the way your record a
programme.
In this section, we will show you just what options are available
to you. Typically you will have pressed the button in the
Programme Guide which will have automatically taken you to this
screen, but you may also wish to set a recording manually. If you
have arrived at this screen via the Programme Guide, simply press
the button to accept the default settings and your recording
will be added to the list and completed without further interaction.
If you wish to set-up a manual recording via the Planned
Recordings menu, you will typically be presented with a virtually
blank screen as shown.
Press the GREEN button to continue and you will be prompted to
enter the channel, date, start and stop times. Use the LEFT and
RIGHT arrow buttons to amend the detail of the selections, and
the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to move between the settings.
Finally press the button to add the event to your Planned
Recordings list.
Instant record
If while watching a programme you decide you wish to record it, press the button on your remote
control and hold for 3seconds. Your DTR will automatically record the programme to the end of the
scheduled time and add any of that programme that exists in your review buffer.
Editing an event
There may be an occasion where you wish to adjust the recording (event) that you are setting. This
DTR allows you to change both the start time (TIME) and the duration of a recording.
Entering a recording from the Programme Guide or manually from the Planned Recordings menu, the
highlighter will be positioned over the PROGRAMME field. Press the RIGHT arrow button to move
the highlighter over the TIME field. Use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease the
start time. You can also move the highlighter to the DURATION field again with the RIGHT arrow and
use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease the recording duration. Once satisfied with
your adjustments, press the button to add this recording to the list.
Why edit an event?
There may be occasions where multiple recordings overlap and your DTR will warn you that two
recordings collide. You may know that the programme you wish to record has moved due to an
over-run of a previous programme. Or simply, you know that the part of the programme you are
interested in starts later than the actual programme start time; for example, a football match. Editing
the timing will allow you to record programmes that would otherwise conflict with each other and
save space on your DTR for future recordings.
Your DTR is also capable of automatically adding time to a recording to guard against programme
over-run. Please refer to page 27 for more information on Guard Times.

22 23
Additional DTR Functions
Space for recordings
When you add a recording to the Planned Recordings, your DTR will
check to see if there is enough space to complete all the scheduled
recordings. If there is a risk that there is not enough space, you will see
this pop-up. You have the option to cancel the recording or
continue with the event. If you continue with the recording, you should
go to the Programme Library menu and try to clear space by
deleting programmes that you have already watched and no longer wish to keep. If you do not
make space, you may lose the end of your recording or fail to be able to record further programmes.
Simultaneous recordings
Your DTR has two tuners which means that it is capable of recording two
different programmes at the same time. In the event that you try to
record more than two programmes at the same time, your DTR will alert
you to this overlap with the pop-up shown.
Make a note of this overlap and go back to the Planned Recordings main menu. Find the programmes
that overlap and look to see if you can manually change the start times or durations of the
overlapping events to resolve the conflict. This will still enable you to record the programmes you

Some programmes are broadcast with special tags that indicate that the
programme is part of a series. If while setting a recording your DTR
detects this tag, it will advise you with this pop-up. You now have three
options; cancel the recording (RED button), record all programmes with
that ‘Series link tag’ (GREEN button) or just that specific programme and remove the Series link
(YELLOW) button. When you go back to the Programme Guide, you will see that a series link icon
has been added to the programme name. It looks like this
Recording while Top Up TV programmes are updating
If you have subscribed to Top Up TV, whilst automatic Top Up TV
updates are being recorded (usually at night), your DTR will be using
both tuners to record programmes into your Top Up TV Library. If you
also want to record another programme at the same time, you may see
this screen. Your DTR will tell you which Top Up TV programmes will be affected, allowing you to
choose which recording is more important to you and which recording(s) should not to be made.
Using Your DTR
Tuner swap
Your DTR has two tuners which means it can receive two different channels at the same time.
You can switch between these two channels by pressing 0on your remote control. If that channel
is paused, it will automatically switch to play to allow you to watch the programme. Furthermore,
if you are watching a recorded programme, your DTR will pause that programme and switch to the
programme currently being received by one of the tuners. Pressing 0again will switch to the other
tuner and pressing 0again will return you to your recorded programme and resume playback.
Watch whilst recording
This is the ability to view a programme that is currently being recorded as part of a scheduled
record or an instant record process. There are two ways to view a programme while it is being
recorded. From Planned Recordings highlight the programme you wish to watch and press the RED
button on your remote control. This will start the programme from the beginning. You can also
change channels to the one that is recording your programme and use trick modes such as REWIND
to move back through the recording to your desired point.
Pause, rewind & fast forward
These are functions that enable you to move forward or rewind
through a recording. There are nine incremental speeds for both
forward and rewind, these are x1/4, x1/2, x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32
& x64.
Note: Quarter and half speed modes are only accessed from Pause mode. To enter Pause mode, press
the PAUSE button on your remote control.

Setting Up
From the MAIN MENU, press 4or select Set-Up.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to highlight the sub-menu you wish to enter and press the OK
button, or press the number button that is associated with the sub-menu.
If you have trouble scanning for channels or with any aspect of the installation, refer to page 10 for
more information or check the Troubleshooting guide in this manual.
Scan for channels
You will have performed this option automatically
as part of the installation process, but if for any
reason you wish to re-scan for new channels (if
you have moved or have a new aerial for
example), make sure that all the connections to
your DTR are connected correctly. Press the GREEN
button to start the automatic search for available
channels.
Once the scan has started you can cancel it by
pressing the RED button.
You can monitor the progress of the search as your DTR first searches for digital broadcast
frequencies and then for specific programmes on those frequencies. Finally your DTR will attempt
to acquire the Top Up TV service.
When the scan is complete, the text at the bottom of the screen will say ‘Scan complete’ and the
GREEN button will re-appear to enable you to re-scan if required. To exit this menu option, press
the BACK button.
Throughout the set-up menus, we will list the available settings within an option. Please note that
the DTR factory default will be UNDERLINED.If at anytime your are not sure what setting to make,
refer to the relevant page and look for the setting that is underlined.
Change your box settings
Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select an option
and use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to cycle around
the available settings.
TV Picture format
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose from
4:3 Letterbox (black bars top and bottom), 4:3 Centre
Cut-Out (full screen, but lost picture on left and right),
4:3 Full Frame (if your 4:3 TV supports 16:9 switching,
check your TV manual) or 16:9 Widescreen (for
widescreen TVs).
TV Picture adjust horizontal and TV Picture adjust vertical
Select these options to move the picture generated by the DTR either horizontally or vertically so
it sits centrally on your television screen.
SCART setting
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose from RGB (best picture), S-Video (for specific TVs)
or CVBS for all other types. See your TV manual for the best choice, it usually depends on which
socket you connect to.
Programme search
This option turns on or off the ‘Search’ facility (accessed using the RED key in the Guide) that provides
a search facility across the Programme Guide and recorded programmes. When enabled the RED key
is used to access the Search screen and the WHITE (R) key is used to record programmes within the
Guide. If disabled the RED key is also used to record programmes within the guide.
Synopsis pop-up delay
This option allows you to either turn off the synopsis window that pops-up over the Guide or video
when a programme is selected, or to change the period that you wait for before it appears.
Plasma blanking
This option allows you to specify a time after which the display automatically dims. This is
important as static images can damage certain screen types.
For both Radio and Plasma blanking the available settings are: OFF, 3, 5, 10, 20 (minutes)
TV guide type
This option allows you to specify either the Top Up TV 14 day programme guide or the or 8 day

Recording preferences
There are two options available to change, the guard time and
the rewind buffer size. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons
to move between the two options and the LEFT and RIGHT
arrows to scroll through the available values for that option.
Recording guard time
A guard time is a small amount of time added to the start and
end of a recording to help protect against programmes starting slightly ahead of schedule or more
typically over-running their scheduled finishing time. There is obviously a small penalty for this
feature which is that you will use up more space for each recording with a guard time set. The
available settings are OFF,1, 3 or 5minutes. As you can see the default setting is OFF to maximise
the available disk space for recordings.
Pause live TV
Your DTR automatically records and buffers the channel you are currently watching. The size of this
record buffer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the channel you are
watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the Pause live TV buffer
size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your hard disk drive for recording
other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it off to increase the available space
for recordings. The available settings are OFF, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buffer as is
available to add to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme from the start.
Messages
Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores for your
information. For example, your DTR is capable of having its
software upgraded automatically via the aerial. If you have any
messages waiting to be read, a small envelope icon will appear
as shown. To view any messages, select Messages from the
Main Menu or Set-Up menu. Once you have read your
messages, you may delete them by pressing the RED button.
Setting Up
Choose your channels
One of the great things about TV Favourites is that you
don’t have to download all the programmes available.
You can choose to record and download only those
programmes from the channel providers that you watch.
So for example, if you don’t have kids, you can save
space on your hard drive by de-selecting the kids
channels, giving you more space to download those you
do want to watch. Choosing your providers is easy and should be done on a regular basis to ensure
you maximise the amount of space you have available for your own recordings. This menu presents a
list of available TV Favourites channel providers. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to move between
providers. Press the RED button to select or deselect a provider.
Note the personal disk space at the bottom of the screen. This will change as you activate or
de-activate channel providers. To maximize the space available for your own recordings, make sure you
deactivate the channel providers that you do not wish to view the programmes from.
In some cases there will be insufficient free storage
space in the Personal Disk Space area to allow you to
choose the channel provider that you wish to. In this
case, a pop-up will be displayed as shown to enable
you to remove content from your Library by pressing
the GREEN button.
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select a programme
and then delete it by pressing the BLUE button. Once
you have created enough space, you can activate the
new channel by returning to choose your channels menu
and pressing the RED button. To exit this menu press
the back up button.
If you attempt to activate a channel for which you do
not have the right level of subscription, you will be
taken to the Subscription screen. Follow the steps on
screen to change your subscription.
Warnings
There are some warnings that may pop-up as a result of some of your selections / actions. The first of
these may be if you de-activate a TV Favourites channel. The warning will inform you that if you
de-activate this channel, you will no longer receive any of that channel’s programmes and delete any
recordings made from that channel.
The second warning you may see is in activating a new channel, you may not have enough space on
your disk drive for planned recordings. The warning will advise you to review your Planned Recordings
as soon as possible. Please refer to page 25 on how to make space by deleting unwanted recordings.

Languages
Preferred audio language
This option sets the Preferred Audio Language output. In
a multi-language broadcast, your DTR will attempt to
acquire your preferred language. If your preferred
language is not available, your DTR will switch to the
default language.
Preferred subtitle language
This has the same action as Preferred Language, but for
Subtitles in place of the audio output itself.
To select an option, use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. To scroll around the possible languages,
use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons. The default Language is English and the available options are
Welsh and Gaelic.
Help
This is a high level information screen that will tell you basic information about your DTR. If you
require further assistance please call the telephone number shown on-screen in the Help menu which
is option 6in the Set-Up menu.
There is also an option to press the BLUE button for tuning
information. This screen shows the current status of the
two tuners, what channel number they are currently set to
and the Strength & Quality of the signals being received.
You can also change the channel a given tuner is set to
with the coloured buttons; RED & GREEN for Tuner 1or
YELLOW & BLUE for Tuner 2.
Changing the channels that the tuners are set to may result
in you losing scheduled recordings. Please use this screen
with care or wait to be advised on how to use this screen
by one of our Customer Care Advisers.
Child Lock
This menu option enables you to set-up Parental Control
levels and to determine the access you and your family
have to programmes. As soon as you select this option,
you will be prompted to enter your Personal Identification
Number (PIN). The default number for this is 0000.It is
highly recommended that you change this number as soon
as possible. Once you have entered a valid PIN you are
given the option to change the PIN by pressing the RED
button and following the simple steps on-screen.
Maximum Certificate
This sets the maximum certificate value allowed on any viewed content (live or recorded). If at anytime
a user tries to view programmes with a certificate higher than the maximum certificate allowed, the
DTR will blank the screen, mute the audio and pop-up the PIN entry window. Unless a valid PIN is
entered, the programme cannot be viewed. The available settings are; U, PG, 12, 15, G or 18.
Note that the default is 18 which means that there is no automatic block of any content from being
viewed. You should lower this to a level suitable for the people with access to your DTR.
Note that setting a certificate does not limit the programmes that can be recorded, only what can
be viewed. This allows viewing decisions to be made when the viewer is present. This may not be
foolproof – we rely on broadcasters to rate their programmes appropriately.
Lock Period Start & Lock Period End
This allows the DTR to be locked down during the START and END times. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow
buttons to amend the time in 15 minute steps. In both cases, the default value is OFF.
Lock
Once you have set lock periods, you will have to activate
them by setting Lock on. Likewise, you can also turn lock
periods off with this option.
Channel Lock
This menu allows you to individually lock selected
channels. Each time a locked channel is selected to be
watched you will be required to enter your PIN.

Troubleshooting
Problems after installation
Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DTR. Leads having been
accidentally pulled out or worn out batteries in the remote control can also cause impairment.
If your unit does something unexpected while you are using it, please unplug it, wait a few seconds,
plug it in again, then wait for the lights on your DTR to change to solid RED or GREEN. If this fails
to solve the problem or the following measures do not bring about satisfactory results, please consult
an authorised dealer.

Reception problems
When you purchased your DTR, your dealer should have checked your postcode to ensure that you
can receive digital terrestrial TV. If you wish to check this yourself, please look on the internet
websites:- www.freeview.co.uk or www.digitaluk.co.uk
Once you have established that your area should be able to receive digital terrestrial TV, there are
a few reasons why you may be experiencing problems.
• Your current aerial and cabling may not be able to receive all the digital channels
due to its age and condition. Now is the time to renew them. We recommend the use
of CAI “Benchmarked” aerials. Look for the logo.
Always use good quality, double screened aerial cable. e.g. CT100 coaxial cable.
• In your location the digital channels may be transmitted on different frequencies to your existing
analogue signals and you may need a different type of aerial to receive them. Check the ‘group’
of your aerial, you may need a ‘wideband’ one.
• The new digital channels may be transmitted from a new transmitter and if this is the case the
aerial would have to be re-aligned. Alternatively, add a second aerial to your system.
• If you need to use a mast-head amplifier, make sure that it is a digitally compatible one and that
it is as close to the aerial as possible.
• In some blocks of flats, filters may be in use that will interfere with digital signals. Consult with
your landlord if you have difficulties.
• Indoor or window mounted aerials are not recommended, except in areas where the signal is
extremely strong.
• Your aerial could be too high. Try adjusting the height of the aerial to avoid picking up unwanted
signals from other transmitters.
• If you live near a road, the passing traffic may cause problems. Try pointing the aerial at an
upward angle over the road, this helps reduce engine interference picked up by the aerial.
• If you get periodic picture losses, this could be due to electrical interference picked up in your
house. This could be from a central heating thermostat, a fridge/freezer, or any other item with
a motor. Try switching these appliances off temporarily to establish what is causing the problem.
Then replace the problem item.
• If your aerial comes into your room via an aerial connection point (socket), replace it with a good
quality shielded one. This will help prevent electrical noise entering your aerial.

If your DTR fails to respond
In very exceptional circumstances, your DTR may not respond as expected when switching it on.
If this does happen, it is most likely to have been caused by corruption of programmes stored on
your disk. This can occasionally cause the DTR to remain in standby mode or fail to respond to the
remote control while not displaying any picture. However, normal DTR operation can usually be
restored, by performing a reset as noted below.
WARNING
Resetting your DTR can cause all saved programmes to be lost.
These steps should only be taken after carefully checking all DTR connections and ensuring you
have working batteries in your DTR remote control.
Check the lights (LEDs) on the front panel of your DTR.
Scenario 1– No LEDs
• Check the mains lead is properly inserted to the back panel.
• Check the wall socket works by plugging in another appliance.
• Check the fuse in the plug. Only replace with a 3A fuse complying with BS1362.
Ask an electrician for help if you are not sure what to check.
Scenario 2– Continuously flashing red LED
This means the DTR has encountered an error but it can usually be restored. The following sequence
will restore the settings of your DTR to the factory default and will retain your saved programmes.
• Unplug the mains power or switch off your DTR at the wall socket.
• Wait 5seconds.
• Restore the power while pressing and holding the front panel power button for 10 seconds,
all 4LEDs will light up for 3seconds.
• Wait 45 seconds for the DTR to complete the reset procedure.
• Select the DTR input on your TV and check for a picture.
Scenario 3– Solid red LED
This means the DTR has encountered an error that cannot be easily restored. The following sequence
will restore the settings of your DTR to the factory default and also delete all saved programmes from
the internal storage.
• Unplug the mains power or switch off your DTR at the wall socket.
• Wait 5seconds.
• Restore the power while pressing and holding the front panel MENU button for 10 seconds.
• Wait 45 seconds for the DTR to complete the reset procedure.
• Select the DTR input on your TV and check for a picture.
Information
Tuner conflict resolution
In some cases there may not be enough tuners for all the
functions your DTR is trying to perform, for example if
two recordings are taking place and you try to change
channels, you will see this pop-up menu. If you really
wish to change channels, go to the Planned Recordings
menu and cancel the recording. Pressing the GREEN
button will take you to the Planned Recordings menu.
TV Favourites conflict resolution
Watching live TV may conflict with the requirement to
record TV Favourites programmes. This may occur if you
are watching a programme when the TV Favourites
programmes start, you switch on your recorder while TV
Favourite programmes are being recorded or you are
watching a TV Favourites programme but then try to
change channels.
In the event of a conflict, you will see this pop-up. If you press the RED button, you will continue to
record the Top Up TV programmes.
Your DTR will remain in override mode for one hour or until it is placed in standby.
In the same way, if your recorder is trying to collect TV
listings or TV Favourites information, your recorder will
pop-up this warning. If you press the RED button, you
will continue to collect the required information.
By overriding this task, your DTR may fail to update the TV listings and as a consequence, may fail
to record Top Up TV programmes.
Loss of signal
If your DTR cannot detect a signal, it will present this icon in the top centre of your TV
screen. Check all connections or refer to Reception Problems on page 30.
