Introduction
The TF 7700HSCI digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international 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. 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 7700HSCI digital receiver has the following features:
Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.
2 Introduction
Can store up to 5000 television and radio services.
You can edit the services list.
You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
You can view information about the current television or
radio programme.
Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
If you have an external hard disk drive connected to
the digital receiver via the USB port, you can record
television programmes into it.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control
and 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.

1.3 What is common interface?
Some broadcasts are scrambled so that only paid
subscribers can enjoy them. Scrambled services
can only be viewed with a Conditional Access
Module (CAM) and a subscription card belong-
ing with the scrambling system.
Common Interface (CI) is the slot on a digitial
receiver into which a conditional access module
may be insterted. The front of the digital receiver
has two common interfaces.
To watch a pay service, you should take the following steps:
6 Introduction
1.
Purchase a conditional access module and a subscription
card for the pay service you want to watch.
2.
Insert the subscription card into the conditional access
module.
3.
Insert the conditional access module into a common in-
terface on the front of the digital receiver.
To view the information about
the module and subscription
card which is inserted into the
digital receiver, select the In-
formation

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 Connecting up your digital receiver 11
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.
NOTE
Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could si-
multaneouly catch all frequencies coming from a satellite and
send them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite an-
tenna only sends the frequencies that it can catch with the LNB
frequency and polarisation specified by the digital receiver. So
if you have another digital receiver linked from the LNB OUT
connector, you can only use it limitedly. See
§
4.1 for more
details.
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
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. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. SCART connector (TV)
3. Component connector (YPbPr)
4. Composite connector (VIDEO)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting
up the digital receiver. See § 3.2 for detailed description.
12 Setup
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 SCART connector
For best results with a standard television set,
you should use a SCART cable. Plug one end
of the cable into the TV socket on the digital
receiver, and plug the other end into a free
SCART socket on your television.
Some televisions have inputs via S-Video or
Component connectors 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 connection 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 connection.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video with the SCART connec-
tor.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13
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.
To use the composite video connector
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video with
the 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.
14 Setup
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.
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 through an auxiliary SCART
connector.
You 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 re-
ceiver, and plug 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 into 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
2.5 Switching on for the first time 15
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.
2.5.2 Powering on and checking picture
Now, press the button in top left corner on the remote
control. 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.

Preference Settings
3.1 Language settings
You can select the language in
which the menu would be dis-
played. In addition to that, you
can select which language of au-
dio track and of subtitle track
should be output.
Select the System Setting
>
Lan-
guage Setting menu. You should
see a screen like the left figure.
Menu language
The digital receiver supports many menu languages: Dutch,
English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish and so forth.
Set the Menu Language option to your desired language. Once
you select a language, the menu will be immediately displayed
in the selected language.
3.1 Language settings 17
Subtitle language
Set the 1st Subtitle Language option and the 2nd Subtitle Lan-
guage option to your desired languages. When you watch a
programme, if the programme has a subtitle track of the lan-
guage that is designated for the 1st Subtitle Language, it will be
displayed. If the first language is not available but the second
language is available, the subtitle of the second language will
be displayed. If there is not any available language, no subtitle
will be displayed.
Apart from this setting, you can select a subtitle track with the
button. See § 5.2.5 for detailed description.
Audio language
Set the 1st Audio Language option and the 2nd Audio Lan-
guage option to your desired languages. When you watch a
programme, if the programme has an audio track of the lan-
guage that is designated for the 1st Audio Language, it will
be output. If the first language is not available but the second
language is available, the audio of the second language will be
output.
Apart from this setting, you can select an audio track with the
button. See § 5.2.4 for detailed description.
18 Preference Settings
3.2 Video and audio settings
You have to configure the video
and audio settings appropriately
to your television set and other
appliances.
Select the System Setting
>
A/V Output Setting menu. You
should see a screen like the left
figure.
3.2.1 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 SCART 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.
3.2.2 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
3.2 Video and audio settings 19
playback. But if the option is set to External A/V, the digital
receiver will not pass the video automatically. To pass it, you
have to press the
AUX
button.
NOTE
It is impossible for the digital receiver to record the video that
the video recorder plays back because the digital receiver is
just a bypass for the video recorder.
3.2.3 Television aspect ratio
If you have a wide-screen television, set the TV Aspect Ratio
option to 16:9.
You can enjoy well 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 4:3 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.
Otherwise, if you have a normal-screen television, set the TV
Aspect Ratio option to 4:3.
20 Preference Settings
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.
3.2.4 High definition television
The digital receiver supports various video resolutions from
576 to 1080. In general a resolution of 720 or more is considered
high definition. The higher the resolution is, the better quality
you can enjoy. However, if your television set does not sup-
port high definition, you cannot enjoy high definition quality
picture.
Set the Video Format option as you desire. If you set this
option to 576P, 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. 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 television you can change the resolution with the
V.Format

Service Search
After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to per-
form a service search.
4.1 Searching broadcasting services
This digital receiver can be operated with both fixed antenna
and motorized antenna. You have to configure antenna settings
according to your antenna system in the following order:
1. Configure LNB settings. (Refer to § 4.1.1.)
2.
Set the position of your desired satellites if you have
a motorized antenna. You can control the antenna in
DiSEqC 1.2 mode or USALS mode. Refer DiSEqC 1.2 to
§ 4.1.2, and refer USALS to § 4.1.3.
3. Perform service search.
4.1.1 Configuring LNB settings
There are in large two frequency bands for satellite broadcasts.
One is
C
band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz.
4.1 Searching broadcasting services 27
The other is
K
u
band which ranges approximately from 12 to
18 GHz.
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
LNB.
Select the Installation
>
LNB Set-
ting menu to configure the LNB
settings. You should see a
screen like the left figure.
Pressing the
OK
button on the Satellite Name option displays
the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite toward
which your antenna is set to face. Even if you cannot find
your desired satellite, you can add your desired satellite to the
satellite list. See § 4.2 for detailed description.
The digital receiver has a database about broadcasting satellites
and their transponders, containing the following information:
satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, polarization
and LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency range. So
you might not have to specify the LNB Frequency option. How-
4.1 Searching broadcasting services 29
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
30 Service Search
you had better check the receiving quality of every trans-
ponder and choose the best one at the Transponder (or
Frequency) option. It will be helpful to your fine tuning.
5.
Finally set the Motor Control option to Store to save the
tuned position when the receiving quality is best.
There are more motor control options for installers, but this
guide does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer them
to the manual about the STAB rotor.
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.
To use the USALS protocol, se-
lect the Installation
>
USALS
Setting menu. You should see
a screen like the left figure.
At first you have to set the Mo-
torized DiSEqC 1.3 option to En-
able.
To get every satellite position calculated, perform the following
steps:
1.
Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name op-
tion.

will turn toward your selected satellite as calculating its
position.
5.
If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom
right of the screen, is not good, then tune the antenna
finely with the Move option. The changed position is
automatically saved. At this time you had better check
the receiving quality of every transponder and choose
the best one at the Transponder (or Frequency) option. It
will be helpful to your fine tuning.

  • Sinds vandaag is Nederland 1 HD verdewenen. Canaldigitaal zegt dat ik de zenderlijst handmatig met mijn Topfield TF7700 HSCI moet ophalen. Ik ben de handleiding kwijt. Wie kan mij vertellen hoe ik dit moet doen? Gesteld op 20-11-2012 om 10:50

  • Wanneer ik met deze ontvanger wil opnemen dmv een usb stick kan ik slechts opnames van twee uur lang maken. Hoe komt dit? Gesteld op 11-11-2010 om 18:40

  • dat klopt, ik heb hetzelfde probleem, ik heb een sony stick van 16GB,en ik kan er verschillende opnames van minder dan 2 uur op maken dat werkt perfect.Als ik echter probeer een opname van langer dan 2 uur probeer te maken en ik kijk ondertussen naar dezelfde zender ;dan werken de eerste 2 uur goed maar dan gaat het mis met de synchronisatie tussen beeld en geluid, vervolgens hoor ik enkele keren een vervaarlijke kraak en tenslotte herstart de ontvanger spontaan en is de opname die bezig was volledig van de stick verdwenen.Ik heb dit herhaalde malen geprobeerd steeds hetzelfde scenario.Ook heb ik verschillende USB sticks moeten proberen voordat hij er één herkende (de sony dus).Ik heb verschillende HD schijven geprobeerd maar hij herkent er geen ene , hoe ik ze ook formatteer of initialiseer op mijn computer.Ze initialiseren of formatteren via de receiver zelf gaat natuurlijk niet want hij ziet de schijf niet.Ik heb ook de verschillende versies firmware in mijn receiver geprobeerd , de één al catastrofaler dan de ander, er is géén oplossing voor dit probleem tot nu toe denk ik.A
    Ik ontvang al de HD zenders op mijn TF7700HSCI maar daarvoor heb ik wel mijn LNB moeten vervangen ongeveer 3 tot 4 jaar geleden toen ik het toestel kocht.Nu zullen wel alle LNB 's die ondertussen verkocht worden stilaan HD compatibel zijn. Bovendien is de originele (fabrieks) transponderlijst niet volledig.Je moet dus zelf een lijst consulteren en uitzoeken welke transponders je wil.Die voeg je dan bij in de lijst in je topfield als ze er nog niet instaan.De meest complete lijst met transponders die ik ken is die van Lyngsat
    ( Klik op deze LINK ) daar kijk je bij Astra en Astra3 voor de zenders en HD zenders van TVVlaanderen.

  • Waarom stoort deze ontvanger met de HD zenders van CanalDigitaal Gesteld op 13-10-2010 om 16:30

    • bekend fenomeen , regel uw schotel af terwijl ge afgestemd staat op een hd zender.Als dat nog niet helpt vervang lnb en evt een grotere schotel.De 64 cm die dikwijls wordt meegeleverd is een beetje aan de krappe kant. 80 cm of nog groter en 2 afzonderlijke lnb 's op een rail zullen je veel ontvangstproblemen besparen.De "dubbele kop" van de originele set heeft alleen de juiste afstand tussen de twee koppen in een 64 cm schotel en is minder geschikt voor de grotere schotels. Het afregelen van een grotere schotel is echter wel kritischer ivm de veel kleinere openingshoek.Eens goed afgeregeld ga je veel storingsvrijer ontvangst en veel meer regenreserve hebben.

      Succes !

  • als je enige ervaring hebt met loaders en pc 's en je documenteert je grondig dan kan je dit klaren .Als je een huis ,tuin en keukengebruiker zijt maak dan je ontvanger niet leeg want je krijgt de firmware nooit meer geladen .De fora staan bol van de hulpkreten van gebruikers die dit ook even gingen doen en nu met een lege onbruikbare koekskesdoos staan te pronken.
    Wat je wel kan doen is de update via satelliet.Die gaat eenvoudig en vrij automatisch.Je moet wel wachten tot die volledig gedaan is want als je te vroeg onderbreekt terwijl hij bezig is heb je eveneens een koekskesdoos. Reken op een uur dat je ontvanger schijnbaar nix doet
    hij geeft taal nog teken maar laat je niet misleiden .....blijf eraf
    of ge zijt gezien !!!Wacht tot hij zelf zegt dat het gedaan is !!!
    Ik denk dat er met de software in je toestel niks mis is dan de gewone slordigheden van topfield zelf.De fenomenen die je hebt wijzen op slechte ontvangst....dus schotel afregelen , evt kop vervangen
    groter schotel met afzonderlijke lnb 's en switch en nazien of je coax nergens gekraakt ligt op de hoek van een muur bv.
    Dit laatste is klassiek.Een installateur regelt alles af maar de hobbyist gaat om kosten te besparen (begrijpelijk) de coax wel zelf mooi vastleggen schoon "gekraakt" op elke rechte hoek van de muur !!! dit is het einde van de goede ontvangst !!!Een coax mag niet geplooid worden met een straal van minder dan 25cm of de verzwakking is dramatisch !!! Dus mooie ronde bochten met je kabel is de boodschap.
