Introduction
The SRP-2100 digital receiver is fully compliant with the inter-
national 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 ap-
propriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple televi-
sion broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-
ponder or multiplex. 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
This digital receiver has the following features:
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS protocols.

2 Introduction
• Can store up to 10,000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• Can create lists of your favourite services.
• Can view information about the current television or ra-
dio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
• You can record one service while you are currently
watching another.
• You can record many programmes using a built-in hard
drive with large storage capacity.
• Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this
digital receiver. You can pause a programme you are
watching and resume it again at a later time. Then you
can quickly go to any part of the current programme by
fast forward or rewind search.
• If you have an external hard drive connected to the dig-
ital receiver via the USB or eSATA port, you can record
television programmes into it.
• You can play back video files of various formats includ-
ing DivX.
• You can play a built-in network game with other users
via the Internet.
• You can use various Web services including YouTube.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall
socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,
when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not

1
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3
using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into
a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer
events at any time.

the digital receiver, specific lights and a display to indicate its
status. The following indicates what they mean.
button switches the digital receiver between standby mode
and active mode. This button has a tiny light on its left
edge, which lights up in red in standby mode if the Standby
Mode option is set to Passive. See §4.12 for more details.
Front display shows the current time in standby mode, and
displays the current service in active mode.
MENU button displays the main menu. It is also used to return
to the previous menu from a submenu.
