Introduction
The TF 6000 Fe digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-
ternational Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
can receive digital broadcasts. For its operation you need an
antenna, which must be installed appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike ana-
logue broadcasts, however, 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 TF 6000 Fe digital receiver has the following features:
•
Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.

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 LNB IN con-
nector.
If you have another digital receiver, link it
from the LNB OUT connector.

10 Setup
2.4.2 Connecting to your television
Between all the following connectors of the digital receiver, we
recommend you to use the first connector to get best picture
quality. If your television does not have the matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for better
picture quality.
1. SCART connector (TV)
2. Composite connector (VIDEO)
3. RF connector (RF OUT)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting
To use the SCART connector
For best results with a standard television set,
you should use a SCART cable, plugging one
end into the TV socket on the digital receiver
and the other end into a free SCART socket
on your television.
Some televisions have inputs via Component
connector or S-Video connector rather than
SCART.
If you have such a television, use an appropriate conversion ca-
ble to link the TV socket on the digital receiver to the matching
socket on your television.
If you connect with a standard SCART cable, you do not have
to make audio connections because the SCART connector can
output stereo audio. But if you use a conversion cable, such as
SCART-to-Component, you have to make audio connections.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11
To use the composite video connector
You will need to obtain a composite video
cable (RCA cable) to use the composite video
connector. Plug one end of the cable into the
VIDEO (yellow) socket on the digital receiver,
and the other end into the matching socket
on your television.
To connect the audio connectors
You will need to obtain an audio cable (RCA
cable) 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 the other end into the matching
sockets on your television or audio system.
To use the RF connector
If your television does not have any video and audio input, you
will need to use the radio frequency output from the digital
receiver.
In this case, you will need to connect a ca-
ble from the RF OUT socket to the antenna
connector on your television. To ensure your
television can also pick up existing analogue
channels as well, you will need to connect a
cable from your television antenna to the RF
IN connector.
Tune your television set to channel 36 (or
rarely 43) so that you can see the output from
the digital receiver.

12 Setup
2.4.3 Connecting to your video cassette recorder
The digital receiver can also output video to another appliance
such as a video cassette recorder or video receiver through an
auxiliary SCART connector.
You will need to obtain a SCART cable to use
the auxiliary SCART connector. Plug one end
of the cable into the VCR socket on the digital
receiver, and the other end into the match-
ing socket on your video cassette recorder or
suchlike.
2.5 Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it in to a mains socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on, so that you will be able to see the display from the
digital receiver.
2.5.1 Inserting batteries in the remote control
To insert the batteries, open the battery compartment by remov-
ing 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 of with household waste. Please dispose of
used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out
about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

3.2.1 Television standard
The digital receiver supports two television standards. One
is PAL standard, and the other is NTSC standard. PAL was
adopted in European countries while NTSC is adopted in USA,
standard of your local area.

16 Preference Settings
If you have a PAL television, you have to set the TV Type
option to PAL. In that case, if you switch to a service of the
NTSC standard, the digital receiver will presents the pictures
converting into the PAL standard. However, it is inevitable to
lose a little picture quality. Likewise, the contrary case brings
about the same result.
The best thing is to watch PAL services with a PAL television
and to watch NTSC services with a NTSC television. However,
a multi television set is able to process both of them. So if
you have a multi television set, you had better set the TV Type
option to Multi. Then the digital receiver will present pictures
without standard conversion.
3.2.2 Colour model
Through the TV SCART connector, the digital receiver is able
to output video in various colour models. If you have the
digital receiver linked to your television via this connector,
you should set the Video Output option to your desired colour
model. If you have connected via the RCA connector labeled
VIDEO on the back panel, you do not have to set this option
because the digital receiver outputs CVBS video through the
RCA connector independent of the SCART connector.
It is known in general that the RGB colour model provides the
best video quality with little difference from the YUV colour
model but the CVBS colour model does the least. So RGB
would be most desirable for this option.
3.2.3 Video cassette recorder
You can have the digital receiver linked to your video cassette
recorder or such an appliance via the VCR SCART connector. In
that case, the digital receiver will operate differently depending
on the setting of the VCR Scart Type option. If the option is
set to Standard, the digital receiver will pass the video from
the video cassette recorder to your television when it starts

receiver will not pass the video automatically. To pass it, you
have to press the

3.2.4 Television aspect ratio
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
Otherwise, if you have a normal-screen television, set the TV
Aspect Ratio option to 4:3.
You cannot fully enjoy wide-screen programmes with your
normal-screen television as the above figures show. The left
figure shows a normal picture displayed in the normal screen.
To watch wide-screen programmes in the shape like the centre
figure, set the 16:9 Display Format option to Letter Box. Wide-
screen pictures then will be reduced to fit to the width of the
normal screen. Otherwise, to watch them in the shape like the
right figure, set it to Center extract. Wide-screen pictures then
will be cut out on the left and right sides equally to fit to the
width of the normal screen.
3.2.5 Sound mode
Basically, there are two audio sources as you can find two audio
sockets on the back panel of the digital receiver. You can enjoy
only one source or both of them in either stereo or mono. Set
the Sound Mode option as you desire.

The LNB (Low Noise Block converter)
is used to take a wide band of relatively
high frequencies, amplify and convert
them to similar signals that is carried
at a much lower frequency, which is
called Intermediate Frequency (IF).
High frequencies from satellites are
converted into 950 to 2150 MHz by a

ever, if you have selected the Other entry at the Satellite Name
option to specify a satellite that is not in the satellite list, you
might have to fill in the correct LNB frequency. The absolute
difference between a broadcasting frequency and its LNB fre-
quency must be within 950 to 2150 MHz. For example, if the
frequency band of your desired satellite ranges from 3660 to
4118 MHz, you have to set the LNB Frequency option to 5150
MHz.
The LNB has to be supplied with electric power to operate. Set
the LNB Power option to On if it does not have any other power
supply.
You had better ignore the 22 kHz option.
The digital receiver is designed to be compatible with DiSEqC
(Digital Satellite Equipment Control) switches. It is possible
to connect several antennas to one digital receiver by DiSEqC
switches. A DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows switching between up to
four satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switching
between up to 16 satellite sources.
Set the DiSEqC 1.0 option and the DiSEqC 1.1 option accord-
ing to your antenna configuration.
For example, to select the antenna con-
nected to the A5 input in the left figure,
set the DiSEqC 1.1 option to 2 of 4 and
the DiSEqC 1.0 option to 1 of 4. If you
have a mini DiSEqC 1.0 switch which
has only two inputs, you should set the
DiSEqC 1.0 option to Mini A instead of
1 of 4.

4.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings
Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satellites
horizontally by DiSEqC 1.2.
When you switch to an service, if the service is
provided by a satellite other than current one,
it will take longer time than usual because the
antenna has to turn to its position.
To use the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol,
select the Installation
>
Motor-
ized DiSEqC 1.2 menu. You
should see a screen like the left
figure.
At first you have to set the Mo-
torized DiSEqC 1.2 option to En-
able.
To get the correct position of your desired satellite, perform the
following steps:
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op-
tion.
2. Set the DiSEqC Command Mode option to User.
3. Set the Motor Control option to Goto. Then the antenna
will turn toward your selected satellite by the position
data that the digital receiver has.
4. If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom
right of the screen, is not good, tune the antenna finely
with the Movement option. If you set it to 2(E), the an-
tenna will move to the east by two degrees. At this time

4.1.3 Configuring USALS settings
USALS (Universal Satellite Automatic Location System), also
known as DiSEqC 1.3, calculates the positions of all available
satellites from your location. Compared to DiSEqC 1.2, it is no
longer required to manually search and store every satellite
position. Just pointing to a known satellite position is enough.
This position will act as a central point. The USALS will then
calculate positions of visible satellites.
