Please read the following safety precautions carefully. MAINS SUPPLY OVERLOADING LIQUIDS : 90-250V AC 50/60Hz : Do not overload a wall outlet, extension cord or adapter as this may result in electric fire or shock. : The STB should not be exposed to any liquids (incl. drips/splashes). No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus. : Disconnect the STB from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a light damp cloth (no solvents) to dust the STB. : The slots on top of the STB must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Do not stand the STB on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not expose the STB to direct sunlight, place it near a heater. Do not stack electronic equipment on top of the STB. : Do not connect any non-recommended attachments as these may cause hazard or damage the STB. CLEANING VENTILATION ATTACHMENTS CONNECTION TO THE SATELLITE DISH LNB : Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE LNB. CONNECTION TO THE TV : Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE TV. EARTHING LOCATION : The LNB cable MUST BE EARTHED. The earthing system must comply with SABS 061. : Place the STB indoors in order not to expose to lightning, rain or sunlight. Warning! Please do not insert metal or alien substance into the slots for the Modules and Smart Cards. In doing so can cause damage to the STB and reduce its life span. GB1 Warning! When replacing HDD, you may burn if you touch any metal area of the HDD cartridge (a metal cover on top, a bolt on bottom). Be careful during replacement.

GB3 Reference Software Upgrade HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product - incorporating one of the best software applications. Whenever a problem is found with this software or, in fact, extra functions or enhanced applications are added, the software in the equipment has to be upgraded. In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up to date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com. It is recommended that users register to HCSA(HUMAX Customer Service Area) and periodically check for the availability of software upgrade. There are three methods to upgrade the software: (a) set-top box to set-top box download(copies the software of the main unit into slave unit); (b) pc to set-top box download(downloads the software directly from pc to the model requiring upgrade); (c) OTA over-the-air(downloads the software where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release through satellite system). Over The Air(OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software upgrade can take place by "beaming" latest software versions over the air via satellite systems. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to different satellites having different footprints(area where the signal can be received). SUSS(TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA. The software upgrade via satellite system will only occur under the following circumstances: 1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software; 2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite system; 3) the equipment must be "tuned" properly to the same satellite that the manufacturer uses.

We recommend using one of the following set-up for best results: · To TV only(with scart cable) 1. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV. 2. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB. · To TV with VCR 1. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV. 2. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the VCR SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your VCR. 3. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB. · To a Hi-Fi System 1. Connect an RCA/Cinch stereo cable from the AUDIO L,R sockets on the back of the STB to the LINE, AUX, SPARE OR EXTRA input sockets on your Hi-Fi system. GB7 · To TV only(with RCA/Cinch cable) 1. Connect one end of an RCA/Cinch cable to the RCA/Cinch socket on the STB and the other end to an RCA/Cinch socket on your TV. RCA/Cinch : Audio-left (white), Audio-right (red), Video (yellow) 2. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB. · To TV using the RF cable 1. Connect a terrestrial antenna to RF IN socket on the STB. 2. Connect one end of the RF cable to the RF OUT socket on the STB. 3. Connect the other end to the ANT IN socket on your TV. GB8 STB Connections PVR-8000 has the following antenna settings in order to make the most use of performances of PVR STB and provide its simplicity during installation and use. · Tuner A features Live and Timeshift, and Tuner B features recording. · To make the most use of PVR in the current system, input all signals of your antenna (whether you have a single antenna or two antennas) to Tuner A, and then input the same signals to Tuner B. PVR-8000 has two antenna modes according to setting: Single and Dual. · Single: Based on Tuner B being recorded, you can switch channels and view at the same time only when the channel being recorded has the same polarity as the channel to be viewed. But you can't view a channel having a different polarity from the channel being recorded. Tuner A and Tuner B have the same signal sources. Even during recording, you can freely switch channels regardless of polarity. · Dual: Recommended Antenna Connections 1) When setting Antenna Configure to Single: · When a user has a single antenna (Hotbird or Astra): Input a signal source to Tuner A, and input the signal input to Tuner A to Tuner B using a splitter or loop through. (Hotbird) GB9 · When a user has two antennas (Hotbird and Astra): Connect two antennas to DiSeqC and input outputs to Tuner A. Then input the signal input to Tuner A to Tuner B using a splitter or loop through. · Note : A splitter is recommended in the Single mode. (For Tuner A, use a splitter with the function of DC bypass, and for Tuner B use a splitter regardless of the function of DC bypass.) When using a loop through in the Single mode, use when the single level is over 25%. Otherwise, it is recommended to use a splitter. Use only a splitter in order to connect another set-top box using a loop through to your PVR. (Hotbird) (Astra) 2) When setting Antenna Configure to Dual: To provide Live and Timeshift services through Tuner A, and Recording service through Tuner B, input a signal source of the same attributes with the signal input to Tuner A to Tuner B.
