Check it before connecting the digital receiver to the mains socket. For the power consumption of the digital receiver, refer to Table 2.1. • The mains outlet should be near the equipment. Do not run an extension lead to the unit. • Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture. The digital receiver is designed for use indoors only.
12 Setup • The top and bottom panel come already assembled. If they become separated, see the following instructions how to reattach. 1. Hook the top panel in the direction shown . 2. Push the top panel down so that it is completely fixed. 3. Turn the digital receiver upside down to attach the bottom panel. 4. Attach the bottom panel in the same way as the top panel. Table 2.
2.3 Rear panel connections 2.3 13 Rear panel connections The SRP - 2100 has a wide range of connections on the back. 2 Check what connections your television set has in comparison with the digital receiver. Satellite broadcasting signal input socket for the first tuner. 1 LNB 1 IN 2 LNB 1 OUT Satellite broadcasting signal output socket through the first tuner. 3 LNB 2 IN 4 LNB 2 OUT Satellite broadcasting signal output socket through the second tuner.
14 Setup 10 AUDIO L/R Stereo audio output sockets for the television set or the audio system. (white/red) 11 VIDEO Composite video output socket for the television set. (yellow) 12 HDMI Audio and video output socket for the high definition television set. 13 eSATA eSATA port for connecting to an external hard disk drive. 14 LAN Local area network port. See § 9.2. 15 USB USB port for firmware update and data transfer. 16 ON/OFF Power on/off switch.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 2.4 15 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.
16 Setup devices to be supplied with power through antenna input connections simultaneously for a long time, your LNBs may lack power to operate. So it is recommended linking the LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector with a loop cable even though the digital receiver is designed to operate over two antennas alternatively. NOTE Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could simultaneously catch all frequencies coming from a satellite and send them to the digital receiver.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 17 To use the HDMI connector If you have a high definition television set, you should use a HDMI cable for the best results. 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.
18 Setup To use the component video connector You need to obtain a component video cable (RCA cable) to use the component video connector. 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 a composite video connector.
2.5 Inserting batteries in the remote control 19 To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television or audio system must be able to decode Dolby Digital audio, and you need to obtain a S/PDIF cable. If you want to use the COAXIAL connector, prepare a coaxial S/PDIF cable (RCA cable); otherwise, to use the OPTICAL connector, prepare an optical 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.
20 Setup NOTE Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metals, may not be disposed with other household wastes. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out the legal regulations which apply in your area. 2.6 Switching on for the first time Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should plug it into a mains socket.

94 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet Chapter 9 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet NOTE The following section describes complex functions that should only be used by owners with advanced computer knowledge. SRP - 2100 provides a web service and FTP service. You can make scheduled recordings or download recording files to your computer via these services. Here you need a router, which will connect the digital receiver to your computer or to the Internet.
9.1 Configuring the router 95 4. Accessing the FTP Server of the digital receiver. NOTE The web server and FTP server of the digital receiver do not work in standby mode. So it must be powered up at all times if you wish to use the web service at any time. 9.1 Configuring the router In this section, the setup program of WRT54G, which is a router manufactured by Linksys, will be referred to as an example of how to configure the router for network access.
96 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet 9.1.2 To access over the Internet When you are away from home, you can access the digital receiver inside your home if your router is configured to route access to the digital receiver by means of port forwarding. Via this feature, your router will lead you to the digital receiver when you access your router with its IP address. Your router may be assigned to a dynamic IP address by an Internet service provider.
9.2 Configuring the network settings on the digital receiver 97 1. Make an account on a web site providing DDNS service, which should be supported by your router. 2. Configure your router with the account so that it can communicate with the web site. Whenever a new dynamic IP address is assigned to the router, it will inform the DDNS service provider of the new IP address. This makes it possible that you access the router with a domain name at any time. 9.
98 Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet You can view the dynamic IP address assigned to the digital receiver by your router at the IP Setting menu. Sometimes when the digital receiver is restarted, the dynamic IP address will be changed and you will have to check it at the IP Setting menu to access the digital receiver.
