The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, in an equi-
lateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the pres-
ence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.
The exclamation point, in an equilateral triangle, is in-
tended to alert the user to the presence of important op-
eration and maintenance instructions in the literature
accompanying the product.

Introduction
The CBC-2010 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.
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 or multiplex. 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
This digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2,000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• Can create lists of your favourite services.
2 Introduction
• Can view information about the current television or ra-
dio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
• 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 port, you can record television
programmes into it.
• You can play back video files of various formats includ-
ing DivX.
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
socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,
when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not
using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into
a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer
events at any time.
1.2.1 Front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, specific lights and a display to indicate its
status. The following indicates what they mean.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3
button switches the digital receiver between standby mode
and active mode.
light blinks every time you press a button on the remote
control.
STANDBY light lights up while the digitalreceiver is in standby
mode.
Front display shows the current time in standby mode, and
displays the current service in active mode.
CHANNEL , buttons switch to the previous or next ser-
vice. They are also used to navigate in menus and inter-
active screens.
There is a USB port on the front panel for firmware update and
data transfer. If you have an external hard drive connected to
the digital receiver via the USB port, you can record television
programmes into it.
If you want to watch pay services, pull
the right edge of the front panel to open
the flap, then insert your subscription
card into the front slot.When you in-
sert the subscription card, the side on
which the chip is mounted must face
upward.

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 devices.
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact
your dealer.
12 Setup
2.4.1 Connecting to the broadcasting cable
Whatever sort of connection you have be-
tween the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to the
broadcasting cable so that it can receive digi-
tal television broadcasts. Connect the broad-
casting cable to the CABLE IN connector. If
you have another digital receiver, you may
link it from the CABLE OUT connector.
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we rec-
ommend you to 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 connect-
ing up the digital receiver. See §4.2 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI output
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use an 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 it can output
stereo audio or digital audio as well.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13
NOTE
Illustrations in this manual may differ from the actual prod-
uct.
To use the Component video output
You need to obtain a Component video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Component video out-
put. 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.
NOTE
When connecting with the Component video cable, re-
member to also plug in the additional white and red audio
cables from the digital receiver to the back of your television.
To use the Composite video output
You need to obtain a Composite video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Composite video out-
put. 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.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video by means of the Com-
posite video output.
14 Setup
To make the audio connection
You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA ca-
ble) to link the audio connectors. Plug one
ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital re-
ceiver, and plug the other ends into the match-
ing sockets on your television or audio-video
receiver.
To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television
or audio-video receiver must be able to de-
code Dolby Digital audio, and you need to
obtain an 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-video receiver.
2.5 Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it into a wall socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on and on the correct video channel so that you will be
able to see the display from the digital receiver.
Before switching on the digital receiver, you should insert bat-
teries into 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 compart-
ment.
Press the button on the top left corner on the remote con-
trol. In a little time, 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 §3.1 to search for available television
2.5 Switching on for the first time 15
and radio services. Otherwise, you may need to temporarily
connect the Composite video connector (VIDEO) to your tele-
vision set so that you can see the menu in order to configure
the video settings.
CAUTION
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to the remote
control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to re-
place only with 1.5 V AAA size batteries, and observe the
following precautions.
• Do not mix different types of batteries, or new and old
batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not recharge the old batteries.
• In order to avoid any risk of explosion, observe the po-
larities indicated inside the battery compartment.
• Do not subject to excessive heat such as the sun and
fire.
• If you are not using the remote control for a long pe-
riod of time, remove the batteries. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for the damage resulting from leak-
ing batteries.
• Batteries, including those which contain no heavy
metals, may not be disposed with other household
wastes. Please dispose of used batteries in an environ-
mentally sound manner. Find out the legal regulations
which apply in your area.
16 Service Search
Chapter 3
Service Search
After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to per-
form a service search.
NOTE
If there is no service stored, you will be not able to access all
menus. A  is another name for a .
3.1 Searching for broadcasting services
To perform service search, se-
lect the Installation > Searching
menu. You should see a screen
like the left figure.
3.2 Resetting to factory settings 17
You should set the Search Mode option to Auto at the first
service search after installing the digital receiver. The digital
receiver will search all available services with the automatic
search mode within the frequency range from the frequency
of the Start Frequency option to the frequency of the End Fre-
quency option. Symbol Rate stands for data transfer rate, and
QAM is a form of modulation used in digital broadcasting.
Broadcasting operators send their services in a symbol rate by
a modulation method. Perhaps you do not have to specify the
Symbol Rate and QAM Mode options since they are seldom
changed. However, you should set the QAM Mode option to
Auto for more certainty. You can specify the Start Frequency,
End Frequency and Symbol Rate options with the numeric
buttons if you want to change them.
To search only one frequency, set the Search Mode option to
Manual and specify your desired frequency at the Frequency
option with the numeric buttons.
To start service search, move down to the Start Search item,
and press the
✄
✂
✁
OK button. The digital receiver will start to
search for services and display a list of television and radio
services as they are found. It is common for no channels to be
found until quite late in the process. When the scan is com-
plete, you will see a message telling you how many services
have been found. Press the
✄
✂
✁
OK button to save the list.

4.2 Video and audio settings 21
4.2.1 High definition television
The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from
576 to 1080. To enjoy high definition pictures, set the HD Out-
put option to Component and select a resolution of 720 or more
in the Video Format option. In general, a resolution of 720 or
more is considered high definition. The higher the resolution
is, the better the quality is.
If you set this option to 576I, the digital receiver will present
even high definition programmes in resolution of 576. On the
contrary, if you set it to 1080I, the digital receiver will present
even standard definition programmes in resolution of 1080.
However, if your television set does not support high defini-
tion or a certain resolution, you cannot enjoy your high defini-
tion quality picture as desired. Therefore, it is recommended
to set it to Auto if you have a high definition television. With
that setting the digital receiver will present a programme as
it is without any resolution conversion. While watching tele-
vision you can change the resolution with the
✄
✂
✁
V.Format but-
ton. Whenever you press it, the video resolution is changed in
turn.
NOTE
If your television supports only standard definition, set the
HD Output option to Scart, then the pictures will be dis-
played in a resolution of 576I. In addition, note that you can
view only standard quality videos with the TV SCART out-
put. It ouputs even high definition pictures in CVBS or S-
Video format, and outputs standard definition pictures in
CVBS, RGB, or S-Video format.
4.2.2 Television aspect ratio
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
22 Preference Settings
You can enjoy both wide-screen programmes and normal-
screen programmes with your wide-screen television as the
above figures show. To watch normal-screen programmes
in full screen like the left figure, set the Display Format option
to Full. Normal-screen pictures then will be inflated to fit to
the width of the wide screen. Otherwise, to watch them in the
original ratio like the right figure, set it to Center. 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 cen-
tre figure, set the 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. Then wide-screen pictures
will be cut out on the left and right sides equally to fit to the
width of the normal screen.

4.2.3 Audio 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

Apart from this setting, you can change the sound mode with
the button. See §5.2.4 for a detailed description.
The digital receiver can output two types of digital audio sig-
nals via the S/PDIF output. One is an encoded signal, and
the other is a decoded signal. If you have the digital receiver
linked to your audio-video receiver via the S/PDIF output, you
have to set the Dolby Digital option to Off, which means that the
digital receiver will output encoded Dolby Digital audio with-
out decoding so that your audio-video receiver can decode it.
Otherwise, set it to On, then the digital receiver will output
decoded Dolby Digital audio, scaling it down to two channels.
NOTE
Only if the service you are currently watching provides
a Dolby Digital audio track, you can enjoy Dolby Digital
sound.

Recording and Playback
If you want to record TV programmes, you have to
link an external hard drive to the USB port of the
digital receiver.
NOTE
The external hard drive should be formatted in
the NTFS file system. It is also recommended to
use an external power socket to have the external
hard drive supplied by its own power.
7.1 Recording a programme
Once a recording gets started, a symbol like the left fig-
ure will be displayed at the top right of the screen for a
few seconds.
CAUTION
Do not move the digital receiver nor pull out the power
plug while it is running. It may cause damage to recorded
44 Recording and Playback
programmes. Topfield is not responsible for damages in-
flicted on files that are stored on the hard drive.
7.1.1 Instant recording
To instantly record a programme you are watching at present,
press the button.
Pressing the button will not pause the current recording
like it does with a video recorder. Instead, pressing the but-
ton will pause the live show and begin time-shifting within the
current recording even with the Time Shifting option disabled.
In short, it is still possible to pause a recording, but literally
recording continues in the digital receiver.
After a recording has started,
pressing the button displays
a menu like the left figure, in
which you can set the recording
duration.
To specify an arbitrary recording duration, set the Duration op-
tion as you desire with the
✄
✂
✁
V− and

✂
✁
V+ buttons and press the
✄
✂
✁
OK button; the recording will end at the specified time.
If the information about the next programme is provided by
the electronic programme guide, the After this program and
After next program options will be enabled. Once the After this
program option is selected, the current recording will stop at
the time when the current programme is scheduled to end.
Likewise, once the After next program option is selected, the
current recording will stop at the time when the next pro-
gramme is scheduled to end.
7.1 Recording a programme 45
To stop recording, press the

and you wish to record every episode of the programme,
set the Mode option to Every Weekend.
5. Set the Date option to a desired date, on which the digital
7.1 Recording a programme 47
receiver will turn on. The date format is day/month/year-
day of the week.

7.1.4 Recording a pay service programme
You can record a pay service programme without the subscrip-
tion card. However, you need the subscription card to play
it back because it has not been descrambled. So it is recom-
mended to record pay service programmes with a proper sub-
scription card so that they can be descrambled and recorded.
In that case, you can enjoy them without the subscription card
like free services.
To record a programme of a pay service in descrambled form,
take the following steps:
1. Select a programme of a pay service you want to record.
7.2 File archive 49
2. Make sure that the subscription card is inserted in the
slot on the front of the digital receiver.
3. Start recording.
4. Do not switch to other service nor use time-shift until
recording is finished.
NOTE
If you switch to other service or use time-shift in the middle
of recording a pay programme, it will be recorded without
descrambling from that moment. Even if the recording is
only partially descrambled, you need the subscription card
to play it back.
7.2 File archive
When a programme is recorded, it is stored as a file on the hard
drive of the digital receiver. You can select a recording to play
back from the recorded programme list.
Select the Recorded Program
menu or alternatively press
the button to display the
recorded programme list. The
file information is comprised
of the following elements: file
number, file name, recording
time, running time, file size and
so on.
You can play, move, delete, rename and lock a recording file.
You can also sort the recording files by file name, running time
or file size. In addition, you can make a new folder.

recording has been wholly descrambled; on the other hand, a
7.4 Playing back a video file 55
yellowish green $ indicates it has been partially descrambled,
and a purely yellow $ indicates it has not been descrambled at
