  • Page 7: Introduction And Getting Started

    Chapter 1 Introduction and getting started Congratulations on buying a Topfield TF 5800 Personal Video Recorder (PVR). The TF 5800 allows you to view and record digital TV channels easily, via an ordinary television aerial. You can receive all the Freeview channels broadcast in your area, which includes a range of digital radio stations too.

    Introduction and getting started in picture, interactive services and even a link to your home computer. We’ll cover all of those issues in this manual, starting from basic installation and setup, then looking at everyday use, and finally giving you an idea of some of the advanced features that you can make use of when you’re comfortable with how your PVR works.

  • Page 16: Connecting The Pvr To Your Tv Using The Rf Output

    Introduction and getting started experiment with different sockets on your TV, since some may have different facilities, such as automatic switching when the PVR is turned on, while others may not. Some televisions have inputs via S-Video or Composite con- nectors, rather than SCART.

    Introduction and getting started It may take several minutes for the search, and it is common for no channels to be found until quite late in the process. Be patient; when the scan is complete, you will see a mes- sage telling you how many TV and radio channels, or services, have been found.

  • Page 19: Av Output Settings

    The left and right arrow keys change the offset in fifteen minute steps; if you are not in the United Kingdom, you should use this option to select the correct difference between your time and GMT (or UTC as it is also known). Remember that this difference may change with the start or end of summer or day- light savings time.
  • Page 20 Introduction and getting started For most televisions, you will get the best picture by choosing the RGB option. If, while you change this option, the picture on your television disappears, or changes to black and white, simply use the arrow keys to select another option, until you can see the display correctly.

Your PVR will automatically detect all channels during the setup procedure that we have described, including any pay TV channels being broadcast, but you will need to install the subscription module, called a CAM (Conditional Access Mod- ule) before you can view the pay channels.

  • Page 24: Starting To Watch Television

    Watching TV select the appropriate channel or input. After a short pause, the word ‘run’ will appear on the front panel display of the PVR, shortly after that, you’ll see the tele- vision picture. The front panel will display the letter P, fol- lowed by the channel number.

  • Page 25: Volume Control

    2.1.1 Volume control Use the to a comfortable level. You may need to adjust the volume on your television set too, so that the controls on the PVR’s remote give you a good range of control, without too much noise or distortion. To temporarily switch off the sound, press the the remote control.

  • Page 26: Radio Channels

    Watching TV Use the up and down keys to move through the list, and press OK to switch to the channel that you’ve highlighted. 2.1.3 Radio channels As we’ve said, your PVR can also receive some radio channels. Don’t be surprised if you can’t see them in the channel list, or if you can’t change to them by typing in their number.

  • Page 27: Electronic Programme Guide

    2.2 Electronic Programme Guide The Electronic Programme Guide, or EPG, is like a built-in version of a TV listings magazine, allowing you to see what programmes are on, for up to seven days ahead. You can see a short synopsis of each programme, and in the next chapter we’ll explain how you can use the EPG to schedule recordings of programmes that you want to watch.

  • Page 29: Time Shift Television

    2.3 Time Shift television Because it has a hard disk inside, your PVR is able to con- stantly save the TV programme that you’re watching. That means that it can make TV more convenient than ever —you don’t need to miss something crucial when the phone rings, or wonder what a character in a drama just mumbled, thanks to time shifting.
  • Page 30 Watching TV If you change channel, the PVR will discard the information on its disk, and start recording the new channel, so if you swap channels during the ads, you won’t be able to rewind when go back to the previous channel. Since looking at other channels in the EPG changes channel, it also clears the time shift infor- mation.

  • Page 31: Pausing Tv

    2.3 Time Shift television 2.3.2 Pausing TV Rewinding is useful to see something again, but if you don’t want to miss something, press the button instead. You’ll see a pause symbol appear at the top right of the display, and a counter showing you how far behind live TV you are.

  • Page 32: Recording And Playing Tv Programmes

    Recording and playing TV programmes Recording and playing TV At the heart of your Topfield PVR is its ability to record and play back television programmes using its hard disk. You don’t need to worry about finding a blank tape, or recording over something important —and, unlike a VCR, the quality of the recordings is just the same as the original broadcast.
  • Page 33 3.1 How your PVR records Instant recordings are just like pressing the record button on a video recorder; the PVR starts to record the programme that you’re watching, so if a programme is just about to start, you could begin an instant recording, without having to worry about setting the timer.

  • Page 34: Instant Recording

    Recording and playing TV programmes you’ve recorded previously while it’s making two new record- ings, or watch a different TV channel. We’ll explain later how all of this is done —and some restrictions on what you can do when recordings are being made —but first, we’ll look at the basics.

You cannot have more than two things scheduled at the same time, regardless of whether they are recordings or pre-selections, and you can’t pre-select two things at the same time —you can only watch one TV programme after all! If you try to schedule too many overlapping events, the PVR will display...

  • Page 39: Altering The Details

    You can also schedule a recording with one key press in the EPG by highlighting a programme and pressing the Record button; the red R mark will appear. 3.4.2 Altering the details As you can see, scheduling recordings couldn’t be easier. But what if you’d like to record a programme each time it’s on? Then, you’ll need to create a timer that repeats automatically.
  • Page 40 Recording and playing TV programmes Use Weekly to record on the same day each week, for example a programme that is on every Thursday. Use Every Weekday to record at the same time, Monday to Friday. Use Every Weekend to record at the same time on both Satur- day and Sunday.

  • Page 41: Viewing Your Recording Schedule

    3.4.3 Viewing your recording schedule Once you’ve scheduled a number of recordings, you’ll prob- ably want to see which programmes you have added to your schedule, or you may even want to remove an entry from your list, without having to look through the EPG to find them all. To see the recording schedule, press the the PVR’s main menu, and then select Recording.
  • Page 42 Recording and playing TV programmes Press Exit to return to viewing from the recording schedule. Scheduling a recording without using the EPG The programme information that’s broadcast with digital TV signals usually covers a week’s worth of programmes, but sometimes there are technical errors that mean it doesn’t go that far into the future, or perhaps you’ve heard about a programme that’s on next month, and you want to schedule a recording while you...

    Recording and playing TV programmes 3.5.2 Watching television while dual recording While you’re recording two channels at the same time, you can watch either of the channels you’re recording. In fact, some- times you can watch a completely different channel —that’s because of the way in which digital television is transmitted.

    TV. Additional software, called TAPs, can be loaded on to your TF 5800 PVR, and can automatically return you to what you were doing, if the PVR interrupts your viewing. 3.5.4 Leaving the PVR in standby You do not need to leave your PVR running all the time to make recordings.

  • Page 46: How Recordings Are Named

    Recording and playing TV programmes You can instruct the PVR to return to standby after the cur- rent recordings have finished, using the Sleep timer. Press key on the remote, and move to the bottom option, Sleep timer. Use the right arrow key to choose 10 minutes, and then press OK.
  • Page 47 3.6 Playing back recordings As you can see, the recordings have the names of the programmes they contain. Move up and down with the arrow keys, and you’ll see that the bottom section of the screen shows additional infor- mation, including the channel, date and time of the recording, and the start of the programme’s description.

  • Page 48: Playback Features

    Recording and playing TV programmes 3.6.1 Playback features While you’re playing back a recorded file, you can use the pause, rewind and fast forward features, just the same as when you’re watching time shifted TV, so pressing double speed, press again for four times normal speed, and again for six times.
  • Page 49 3.6 Playing back recordings To use this ‘resume playback’ feature, simply highlight a pro- gramme in the archive list, and then press the the remote, instead of OK. Playback will start from the same place where you stopped viewing previously. While resume play is useful when you want to carry on where you left off, sometimes you might want to mark favourite parts of a programme, like a great song in a concert.

  • Page 51: Extra Features

    Chapter 4 Extra features Now you know how to watch TV, choose programmes to record, and play them back, let’s look at some of the other extra fea- tures that the PVR provides, and which you may find yourself using quite often. There are also some even more advanced features, like connecting to your PC, which you won’t use as often, and which we’ll leave until later.

  • Page 52: Subtitles

    Extra features 4.1.1 Subtitles If you used subtitles on an analogue broadcast, you’re proba- bly used to accessing them through the teletext service. With digital TV, they’re separate, and you can turn them on and off easily using the Opt button [Opt button picture] on the remote control.

  • Page 53: Picture In Picture

    4.1.3 Picture in Picture Since it has two tuners, your PVR can record two different channels at the same time, as we’ve already seen. It can also allow you to watch two different channels at the same time, too, using Picture in Picture (PiP). To start PiP, just press the small picture will appear in the top right section of the screen.

  • Page 54: Digital Teletext

    Extra features If you are recording two programmes, the choice of channels available for the Picture in Picture may be limited, just as you can only view certain channels when recording two channels at the same time. 4.1.4 Digital teletext Digital teletext provides a more colourful, simpler to use ser- vice than traditional teletext.

  • Page 55: Sleep Timer

    4.1 Make the most of digital TV screen instructions, and remember that pressing the TEXT but- ton will take you back to watching TV. Using the P + and P − buttons to change channel while in dig- ital teletext will also return you to normal television viewing. Digital teletext pages may change channels to show you extra information, and when this happens, you’ll see the front panel display of your PVR change to show the new channel number.

  • Page 56: Organising Channels

    Extra features When the sleep timer has been started, pressing the Opt key will display the menu again, and the time remaining will be shown next to Sleep timer. You can cancel the timer by using the arrow keys to select disable, or change the time remaining. 4.2 Organising channels One of the great things about digital TV is that there are lots of channels, and lots of things to watch.

  • Page 57: Setting Up Favourite Channels

    4.2.2 Setting up favourite channels Before you can use the favourites facility, you need to organise channels into groups of favourites. You can have up to thirty groups of favourite channels, so you could have one list of music channels, one of news channels and one of other chan- nels.

  • Page 58: Managing Lists Of Favourites

    Extra features Press Red again to move to the list of channels that you’ve added to the favourites group; if you highlight a channel now and press OK, it will be removed from the group. Pressing Red a third time will return you to the left hand column of the screen.

  • Page 59: Watching Tv Using Favourites

    To create a new list of favourite channels with a name of your choice, select the bottom item in the left hand column, —NEW— and press OK. The on-screen keyboard will appear, and you can choose a name for your group. Select Save when you’ve entered the name, and then add channels to it, just as you did for the existing groups.

  • Page 60: Organising Recordings

    Extra features pressing the List button on the remote twice is a quick way to access favourites. 4.3 Organising recordings When you’ve recorded more than a handful of programmes, you’ll realise that it can take some time to find the things you want to watch after pressing the Archive button on the remote, as you have to move up and down the list, through pages of names, to find the programme you’re looking for.

  • Page 61: Organising Recordings

    list, then press the Blue button, and select Rename. You’ll see an on-screen keyboard appear. It works just the same way as we explained above, when we looked at Favourites. Just select Save when you’ve changed the name, or press Exit on the remote to abandon the changes.

  • Page 62: Copying Recordings

    Extra features To move up from a folder, select the option labelled with two dots, at the top of the list. You’ll see it appear at the top of the list of files in a folder, and if you’re in a folder and try to move a file, it will also appear as one of the destinations.

  • Page 63: Editing Recordings

    4.3.4 Editing recordings As well as copying recordings, your PVR allows you to edit recordings that are stored on the hard disk. So, for example, if you set a recording to start a few minutes early, you could remove the extra material at the start of it. Or if you just want to keep a small part of a programme, you can cut it out and save it, then delete the rest.

  • Page 64: Additional Playback And Viewing Features

    Extra features If you choose Cut, the portion of the programme that you se- lected will be removed from the original recording, and will be lost. You can use this to remove extra material at the end or beginning of a recording; if you remove material in the mid- dle, you may see some interference around the position where you made the edit.

  • Page 65: Slow Motion Playback

    4.4 Additional playback and viewing features Press the OK button to start playback from the first file. At the end of that programme, the second one will be played, and then others in the sequence. You can also use multiple playback to copy files, by pressing the Record button on the remote, instead of the OK button, after selecting the files with the Red key.

  • Page 66: Parental Lock

    Extra features in the information box. The PVR will play just the section of the programme that you have marked. If the current posi- tion is within that section, it will carry on playing until then end, otherwise it will return to the start of the marked section. Playback of the section will continue until you press Stop, or until you change the repeat option by pressing the White but- ton again.

    Advanced features 6.3 TAPs - Additional software for your PVR One of the most exciting things about the Topfield TF 5800, compared to other PVRs, is that it’s possible to add additional software to it, as well as simply updating the firmware. The TF 5800 includes a facility to load and run small addi- tional programs, called TAPs —Topfield Applications.
