Introduction
Congratulations on buying a SRP - 2100. The SRP - 2100 allows
you to view and record digital TV programmes easily.
And the SRP - 2100 digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
thus 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. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, 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.

2 Introduction
1.1 Features
The SRP - 2100 has plenty of features as follows:
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.
• Can store up to 7,000 television and 3,000 radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
• You can see information about the current television or
radio programme.
• Have electronic programme guides that provide an over-
view of scheduled programmes.
• You can record one service while you are currently watch-
ing another.
• You can record many programmes using a hard disk
drive with large storage capacity.
• The time shift is available on the SRP - 2100. You can
pause the programme that 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 back-
ward search.
• If you have an external hard disk drive connected to
the digital receiver via the USB or eSATA ports, you can
record television programmes into it. You can use the
external hard disk drive as fast as the built-in hard disk
drive with eSATA port.
• You can play back DivX and MP3 files and view image
files in JPG format.
• You can play a network game with other players.
• You can play back various contents of the YouTube via
the network.

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 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 perform timer events at
any time.

4 Introduction
1.2.1 The front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, specific lamps and a display to indicate its
status. The following indicates what they mean.

mode and operation mode.
Front display shows the current time in standby mode, and

Option buttons have additional differ-

be guided by on-screen help.
NOTE
When using the remote control, point it at the remote sensor
on the front panel of the digital receiver.
1.3 What is the common interface?
Some broadcasts are scrambled so
that only paid subscribers can enjoy
them. Scrambled services can only
be viewed with a Conditional Access
Module (CAM) and a subscription
card belonging with the scrambling
system.
Common Interface (CI) is the slot
on a digitial receiver into which a
conditional access module may be
inserted. The front of the digital re-
ceiver has two common interfaces.
To watch a pay service, you should take the following steps:
1. Purchase a conditional access module and a subscription
card for the pay service you want to watch.
2. Insert the subscription card into the conditional access
module.
3. Insert the conditional access module into a common in-
terface on the front of the digital receiver.

1.3 What is the common interface? 9
To view the information about
the module and subscription
card which is inserted into the
digital receiver, select the In-
formation > Common Interface
menu.
You should see a screen like the
left figure.
NOTE
If you wish to watch two pay services using the picture-in-
picture feature, you have to set the Descramble Multiple Ser-
vices option to Enable, and then install the dedicated CAM
which is able to descramble two pay services simultaneously.
See § 5.6 for the picture-in-picture feature.

2.2 Safety precautions 11
2.2 Safety precautions
Please read carefully the following safety precautions.
• The mains power must be 90 to 250 volts. Check it before
connecting the digital receiver to the mains socket. For
the power consumption of the digital receiver, refer to
Table 2.1.
• The mains outlet should be near the equipment. Do not
run an extension lead to the unit.
• Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture. The
digital receiver is designed for use indoors only. Use dry
cloth when cleaning the digital receiver.
• Place the digital receiver on a firm and level surface.
• Do not place the digital receiver close to heat emitting
units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
Do not lay any objects such as magazines on the digi-
tal receiver. When placed in a cabinet, make sure there
is a minimum space of 10 centimetres around it. For
the physical specification of the digital receiver, refer to
Table 2.2.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched.
If the cord is damaged, stop using the digital receiver
and replace the cord.
• Never open the digital receiver casing under any circum-
stances, the warranty will be void.
• Use only one USB port of the receiver while using a
common interface. The receiver may not recognize all the
devices because the power supply of the receiver cannot
provide enough power for all the devices.
• Refer all servicing to a qualified service technician.

12 Setup
