Introduction
The SRP-2411 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
appropriately.
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. To reduce confusion in this manual, the word ser-
vice 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:

2 Introduction
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.
• Can store up to 10000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• Can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
• Can view information about the current television or
radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
• You can record one service while you are currently watch-
ing 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 media files of various formats includ-
ing DivX.
• You can play a network game with other users via the
Internet.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3
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 run timer events
at any time.
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.

1.3 What is common interface? 7
NOTE
When using the remote control, point it at the remote sensor
on the front panel of the digital receiver.
1.3 What is 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 matching with the scrambling
system.
Common Interface (CI) is the slot on
a digitial receiver into which a condi-
tional access module may be inserted.
The front of the digital receiver has
two common interface slots.
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.

8 Introduction
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.

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.

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.
