Tips

Reloading to Merge Satellite and Firmware Info

Press MENU, and then go to TOOLS submenu, followed by UPGRADE BY USB option.

Scroll over until you see ALLCODE in the Upgrade Mode line near top of screen.

Move highlighter bar to Upgrade File and toggle left or right to select above product-glass.abs file.

Drop down to START and press OK on the remote control. Let the receiver do its updating and wait for it to

power off and then back on. Go back to the UPGRADE BY USB option.

Scroll over until you see USER DB in the Upgrade Mode line near top of the screen.

Toggle until you find the user file (S-3602_all_dump.bin). Select START, press OK on remote control and

confirm to burn flash. Flash should burn and receiver will re-boot.

Satellite/Transponder/Channel data should now be merged with current firmware file.

Press MENU-select TOOLS and check INFORMATION to confirm update version # in MAIN CODE.

Exit out afterwards and resume normal operation.

RECORD and DVR Operation

Study the brief descriptions of functions in the Manhattan RS-1933 user manual, and confirm that your

settings and accessories are appropriate for the purpose that you intend to accomplish.

USB Memory Sticks are limited in storage capacity and in most cases will not function for High Definition

mode recording. You may see a prompt on the screen telling you that USB Speed is too low. For normal

standard definition recording, we recommend a minimum of a 4 Gb memory stick for excerpting a few

episodes of a show. If you intend to do HD recording, or any archiving that requires substantial memory

capacity, it is suggested that a large external hard drive of at least 500 Gb be considered. Results will vary by

brand, but in all cases you should first format the external hard drive before starting any recording. There is a

link on how-to format hard drives on this website. It should also be noted that the maximum capacity that

the RS-1933 receiver will properly function with is 2 Terabytes, and files are separated after 1 Terabyte.

In addition to recording programming received via satellite, the receiver also has the ability to play music

and JPEG files such as photographs, if connected via the USB port to an external hard drive or memory stick.

Operation can be described as intuitive, with simple pressing of the record button on the remote control

starting a recording event. Study the remote control diagram in the receiver manual if unfamiliar with button

placement or function, and become comfortable with menu operation. There are readouts of available free

space, record time and file size in the DVR section. Playback and previewing can be assisted by customizing

Fast-Forward (FF) and Rewind (RW) times, which can be set for intervals of 30 seconds, 1, 5 and 10 minutes.

Once you have mastered such basic recording operation, you can then consider timed recording. If you

depend upon the receiver clock to set a timed recording, be aware that the clock’s accuracy depends upon

the receiver being tuned to a live signal with a time reference, or you can also manually set the time. Please

note that some channels from outside of North America use their local time reference, so check the display

on the menu screen. Setting the clock manually can be done by going into Menu to SYSTEM SETUP. Press

Right arrow to highlight in gold, and the Down arrow to reach Local Time Setting. Press OK. Scroll down so

that GMT USAGE is highlighted. Move left or right until this is changed to USER DEFINE. Scroll Down to GMT

OFFSET and then Left to reach your time zone. Turn Summer Time ON if observed. Exit out of all menus and

Save. Turn power OFF to test the clock setting.
