1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to explain setup, performance and common usage of the

Tevion DVR TSD-DR40HD Digital Video Recorder (DVR).

The DVR was purchased from Aldi, Brandon Park Shopping Centre, Glen Waverley, Victoria,

on the 20th March 2008 for inclusion in our home entertainment system.

1.2 Home Entertainment System Components

Our Home Entertainment System now includes the following components:

•Roof-top Television Antenna providing TV/FM signal

•Television Antenna Booster providing stronger TV/FM signal to two devices

•Three-Way Splitter for feeding TV antenna signal to three devices

•Bang & Olufsen Beomaster 7000 Radio/Amplifier (for quality sound)

•Bang & Olufsen Beocord 8000 Audio Tape Cassette Player

•Toshiba 2918DH Television (TV)

•Panasonic NV-HV60 Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)

•Tevion TSD-DR40HD Digital Video Recorder & DVD/HDD Recorder (DVR)

1.3 Home Entertainment System Remote Controls

•Bang & Olufsen Beolink 7000 Remote Control (large BRC for complete control)

•Bang & Olufsen Beolink 1000 Remote Control (small BRC for partial control)

•Toshiba 2918DH Television Remote Control (TRC)

1.5 Some Technical Terms

TERM MEANING

BRC Beomaster Remote Control (s). Small one in bedroom and large one in

lounge room.

Button A button on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. DVB) or

displayed on screen.

Chapter and Track Each title can contain one or more “Chapters” or “Tracks”

DRC DVR Remote Control

DVD Digital Versatile Disk. A removable storage device for video and data

files. We make a distinction between:

•DVD-R or DVD+R, disks that can be recorded once only.

•DVD-RW or DVD+RW, disks that are rewritable.

Recordings on rewritable DVD disks can be done in several sessions

(prior to disk finalisation).

DVDs recorded can always be played back on this device, but to make a

recorded DVD playable on a computer and other DVD players a process

of “Disk Finalisation” needs to be performed.

DVR Digital Video Recorder. A machine that can record video using digital

(rather than analogue) technology. This term is perhaps not used as

much as PVR, but is probably the better term.

HDD Hard Disk Drive. A storage device for large amounts of data. The

Tevion DVR has an HDD capacity of 400Gb,

Key A key on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. HDD)

PVR Personal Video Recorder. A machine that can record video not just for

you but for anyone else who is around.

Recording Quality This device can record on HDD and DVD in six different densities

giving rise to six different levels of recording quality each taking up

increasing amounts of space:

SPEED DVD HDD QUALITY

SLP (Super Long Play) 6 hrs 562 hrs Low

EP (Extended Play) 4 hrs 371 hrs Moderate

LP (Long Play) 3 hrs 261 hrs Normal

SP+ (Standard Play +) 2.5 hrs 221 hrs Good

SP (Standard Play) 2 hrs 191 hrs Very Good

HQ (High Quality) 1 hrs 94 hrs Best

Title Each recording is called a “Title” or a “program”. The term “Title” is

also used for a text field associated with a recorded TV program in

which you can enter a textual name to identify the program.

TRC TV Remote Control

VCR Video Cassette Recorder. Amachine that can record video on video

tape cassettes.

VRC VCR Remote Control

1.8 Power/Mode Indicator

Alarge circular Power Indicator is located at the right corner on the front of the unit. When the

unit is plugged in and powered on, the power indicator will be lit in one of three different

colours, depending on the current mode of operation:

Red Unit is in stand by mode, meaning the unit is currently not in use. Press STAND

BY/ON button to place it into playback mode.

Blue Unit is in playback mode, meaning the unit is ready for normal operation, such as

watching a TV program or playing a DVD.

HDD or DVD. The unit cannot be used for any other purpose (except watching the

program being recorded) until the current recording task has been completed.

2.2 Connection Details

Cable connections are shown below to facilitate reconnections should that be required. Most

cables are Quad Shielded Radio Frequency (RF) Coaxial type. By utilising the “pass-

through/loop” features on both DVR and VCR, the cabling has been made as simple as possible

giving priority to the DVR and VRC and leaving only Radio/Amplifier and TV to be connected

via a splitter. One socket on Booster and one socket on Splitter are still unused.

3. Initial DVR Set Up Procedure

After all device connections have been accomplished a number of initial setup procedures will

need to be performed. Areas shaded in grey may or may not be needed as part of the procedure

(they are mostly to do with our particular procedures for powering devices up or down).

3.1 Searching for Australian Free-to-Air TV Channels

Since we are (in Australia) still using analogue TV signals, the available channels need to be

configured:

1. On TRC press Power button to turn on the TV (if not already on).

2. On TRC press button until

is shown.

3. On DRC press STANDBY/ON button to turn on the DVR and wait until “No disc”

message is shown.

4. On DRC press SETUP button to enter “Setup” menus and display the “Setup Menu –

Recording”.

5. On DRC press Right Arrow button to actually enter “Setup Menu – Recording”.

6. On DRC press Down Arrow button to “Auto Scan Channel” option and press SELECT

button.

7. On DRC if prompted to confirm the action just press SELECT button.

8. On DRC in “Scan Channels” screen press SELECT button leaving “Tuner input source”

set to “Air”.

9. On DRC press SELECT button to start a search for Analogue TV Channels.

10. The actual scanning will take a minute or two and will probably find six Fre-to-Air TV

channels. Each channel found is identified by a program number (Pxxx) and a channel

number (CHzzz).

11. On DRC press Down Arrow button to “Program Table”. Then press SELECT button to

enter the “Sort” screen where the list of program numbers and channel names will be

visible. The list is as follows:

P003 CH002 (should be renamed ABC01)

P009 CH007

P011 CH009

P013 CH010

P025 CH028 (should be renamed SBS28)

P028 CH031

12. On DRC press Down Arrow button to get to P003 CH002 then press the SELECT

button to enter the “Modify channel information” screen.

13. On DRC press Down Arrow button to move down to the Name field and change it one

character at a time to the desired name (e.g. CH002 changed to ABC01) and leaving all

other settings as they are.

14. Repeat Steps 11-13 renaming CH028 to SBS28.

15. On DRC press SETUP button to exit “Setup” menus.
