Introduction
The TBF - 7110 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 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.
1.1 Features
The TBF - 7110 digital receiver has the following features:

2 Introduction
• Supports the Australian Freeview Phase 1.
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• 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.
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 run timer events at any
time.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3
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.

• One component cable (RCA cable)
• One composite cable (RCA cable)
• A copy of this user guide
NOTE
Accessories may vary according to your local area.
2.2 Safety precautions
Please read carefully the following safety precautions.

2.2 Safety precautions 7
• 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, do not use the digital receiver
and get the cord replaced.
• Never open the digital receiver casing under any circum-
stances, the warranty will be void.
• Refer all servicing to a qualified service technician.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver
There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up the
digital receiver suitably to your television and other appliances.
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact
your dealer.
2.4.1 Connecting the antenna
Whatever sort of connection you have be-
tween the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to
your television antenna so that it can receive
digital television services.
Connect the antenna cable to the ANT IN con-
nector.
If you have another digital receiver, you may
link the ANT OUT connector to your televi-
sion.

10 Setup
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we
recommend you use the first connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.
1. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. Component connector (YPbPr)
3. Composite connector (VIDEO)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting
up the digital receiver. See § 3.2 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI connector
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use a HDMI cable for best re-
sults. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television. In this case, you do not have to
make audio connection because the HDMI
connector can output stereo audio or Dolby
digital audio.
To use the component video connector
You need to obtain a component video cable
(RCA cable) to use the component video con-
nector. Plug one ends of the cable into the Y
(green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the
digital receiver, and plug the other ends into
the matching sockets on your television.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11
To use the composite video connector
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video with a
composite video connector.
You need to obtain a composite video cable
(RCA cable) to use the composite video con-
nector. Plug one end of the cable into the
VIDEO (yellow) socket on the digital receiver,
and plug the other end into the matching
socket on your television.
To make the audio connection
You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA ca-
ble) to connect the audio connectors. Plug
one end of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital re-
ceiver, and plug the other end into the match-
ing sockets on your television or audio sys-
tem.
To enjoy Dolby digital audio, your televi-
sion or audio system must be able to decode
Dolby digital audio, and you need to obtain a
S/PDIF cable. Plug one end of the cable into
the S/PDIF socket on the digital receiver, and
plug the other end into the matching socket
on your audio system.

12 Setup
2.5 Inserting batteries in the remote control
Open the battery compartment by removing the lid, and then
insert the batteries observing the polarity, which is marked on
the base of the battery compartment.
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to remote con-
trol commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to remove
used batteries. The manufacturer accepts no liability for the
damage resulting from leaking batteries.
NOTE
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metals, may
not be disposed with other household wastes. Please dispose
of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find
out the legal regulations which apply in your area.
2.6 Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it into a mains socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on and on the correct AV channel, so that you will be
able to see the display from the digital receiver.
2.6.1 Powering on and checking picture
Press the button in top left corner on the remote control.
After about 10 seconds you may see a picture displaying a
menu. If you do not see a picture, try pressing the




V.Format
button on the remote control. If after several tries you still get
no picture, check that the television is set to the correct input.
If the picture is good, you can skip to § 4.1 to search for the
available television and radio services. Otherwise, you may
need to temporarily connect the composite video connector
(VIDEO) to your television set so that you can see the on-screen
menus in order to configure the video settings.
