C. Preparation: 1. WRITE DOWN YOUR CURRENT TV SETTINGS AND ANTENNA SETTINGS. 2. Make a directory or subdirectory called "jvvh" 3. Unzip full_kit.zip into this directory. 4. In the Needed directory, you should have BL Updater 1.4, 225,280 bytes, jvvh_208_2500to2700.bin, 640KB Jvvh_254_Nkk.bin jvvh_254.bim 5. Straight RS232 DB9 F/F cable. 6. Receiver should be switched off. 7. Connect computer to receiver via serial port using 9 pin F/F DB9 cable above. 8. optional: (may be needed) {b75_m_1.bin, 64KB, jv_205.1.bin, 640KB, jvvh_208.1.bin, 458,752 bytes jvvh_218.bin } 9. Note that you do not need the full jtag files.
D. Action: Go into Windows explorer and find the jvvh directory. Go to Needed directory.. Double click on BL Updater 1.4 1. Methods of installation. There are two methods of burning (installing) these files. They only differ in when to start writing. In Method one, you click on Write at the same time as turning on th ereceiver. In method 2, you turn on receiver, and as soon as receiver shows "b", you click on Write. Method 1: Files that are boot files or contain boot file may be installed with switching on of the receiver and clicking on "Write" at the same time. These files are: jvvh_208_2500to2700.bin, 640KB (Select "BIN" in updater) Preferred jv_205.1.bin, 640KB (Select "BIN" in updater) Good alternative b75_m_1.bin, 64KB (Select "BOOT" in updater) Use only if above two do not install the BOOT Method 2: Files that are pure BIN upgrades are preferably installed after turning on receiver and clicking on "Write" when "b" shows up on the receiver. These files are jvvh_211 onwards to the latest BIN or CS_218T_lightning onwards to the latest BIN file In either method, after clicking on "Write" you must Wait whilst the receiver is showing a anticlockwise rectangle and later the receiver will show b75 flashing and the Computer will show "BURN". The receiver will reboot and show b-7-5 and then stop for a while on 5. Do NOT turn off receiver at this time. When the receiver is showing "ON", then only the process is complete and you can turn off the receiver. Most failures occur because of not WAITING. 2. Exact Procedure of installation. a. Install Boot conversion. Skip this part if the receiver is already converted and showing b-7-5 when it is turned on. If the receiver has never been converted, make sure it has the clone BIN 293T or 294T in it. Install jvvh_208_2500to2700 using Method 1. If this fails, install jv_205.1.bin using Method 1. If this also fails, install b75_m_1.bin, using Method 1. Make sure you select "BOOT" in the updater. b. Install latest BIN. If the receiver has been converted before or has just been converted as in a. above, install latest BIN using Method 2. Use Jvvh_254_Nkk.bin or jvvh_254.bim E. Connection to TV: 1. With receiver switch in off position, connect the Sat antenna, and the cables to TV. Turn on TV Turn on receiver. You will see b75 go across and freeze on "5". WAIT After a little while the TV will come on asking you to confirm Language English. Press OK.
2. First do Menu/ default settings (Factory default) It will ask for PIN -- use 1668 if you have forgotten your PIN, usually a 0000.
3. Next do User setup. The date/time will show as 01/01/2006 12.00 noon. Set time to manual and enter the correct time, date, and time zone. Make sure summer time is off. Make sure closed caption is turned off.
4. Next do Menu/Dish Setup/Antenna setup Select your known dishes and use the known DisEqC port connections. You can connect to ports without knowing which is which using trial and error and the signal strength.
Now do Blind scan (power scan) for each of the selected sats. You must see both Horizontal and Vertical TPs.
F. Watching TV: By the time you finish the blind scan, the new keys will have loaded and you are ready to watch TV. You MUST switch off at the back once and switch on. You can se up the channels alphabetically or in other ways using Channel Edit and Sort. You can and should set up P-lock on some P0RNO channels. You can rename the 5 Favorites using right arrow key. If a channel does not appear, you can do a separate TP scan. Also look for it in the list, e.g. channels 614 -- SET may appear in the list as TV 614, and you can rename.
HAPPY VIEWING If resets occur, try turning autoroll off and Closed Captions off.
