Signal HD-507 A99250 is the only device on the market, which offers so much for so little.

A small, practical
case houses DVB-T receiver and multifunctional multimedia device. The use of this digital receiver is one
of the cheapest ways to adapt an older CRT, LCD, or plasma television (if the LCD or plasma TV has only
an MPEG-2 tuner) for the new world of digital television using MPEG-4. Even the owners of fully-featured
televisions equipped with MPEG-4 tuners may also be interested in such a multifunctional device due to its
integrated media player and Personal Video Recorder option (PVR Ready - possibility of recording DVB-T
broadcasts on external USB memory). Signal HD-507 can also play pictures, music and videos - including
those in high definition.
The biggest practical advantage of the A99250 receiver is compact size. The device can be directly plugged
into the SCART input of a TV set - it remains virtually invisible to the user. The receiver is also ideal for any
LCD/Plasma TV placed on a wall - depending on the TV model and mount, the user can arrange the device
so that it fits in between the TV set and wall (adequate ventilation is required).
Hidden behind the television, the device receives commands from remote control via IR sensor on a short
cable. To work properly, the sensor has to be attached somewhere on the front of the TV set.

Remark: The IR sensor of the receiver is equipped with LED indicating status of device - a feature
not available in similar devices in the market!
The receiver is compatible with the most popular MPEG-4 compression standard and with the earlier
version - MPEG-2 - used in some European countries. The device provides excellent image quality both in
SD and HD resolution. The USB port (PVR Ready) allows to record the received broadcasts on external
data storage device, such as a USB hard drive or a flash drive.
HDMI output provides signal of the highest quality, suitable for HD broadcasts. Using this connection, the
receiver can be plugged into the SCART socket or not. With the simultaneous use of both types of
connections, HDMI has priority.
Signal HD-507 A99250 is intended for users who want to hide the receiver behind their televisions.
It is the only model in the market which employs IR sensor and LED status indicator mounted on
additional cable. This way, the user can control the receiver despite it is invisible behind the TV,
being directly inserted to its SCART socket (no need for an additional cable).
Signal HD-527 A99252 is dedicated for users who prefer traditional solutions with set-top-boxes.
The receiver has two SCART outputs and S/PDIF output. The additional SCART and audio output
are used for connecting an audio amplifier.

The receiver is fully compatible with the DVB-T standard (ETSI ETS300744) and allows to receive digital
FTA (Free-To-Air) channels in SD and HD resolution (HDMI output), compressed in MPEG-2 or MPEG-4
standard. It is equipped with functional and clear Electronic Program Guide (EPG) containing detailed
information on programming for the current day and the whole week (depending on the level of the service
from the broadcaster). Navigating the menus of the receiver should not be a problem even for those who
have no experience in the use of such devices.
PVR
Signal HD-507 with PVR Ready function allows to record selected programs on external memory device. It
recognizes FAT32 and NTFS file systems. An external hard drive has to be powered from suitable power
supply.
Available recording modes:
instant recording (of the currently watched program)
timer recording - schedule to start recording at a particular time and record for a certain length of
time
EPG recording - recording of programs chosen from the guide

Files recorded on an external data storage device are recognized by PCs as *. ts files. To play them back,
the user should employ VideoLan Player (VLC) - free application that can be downloaded from the software
developer site.
Multimedia
Signal HD-507 A99250 is also a fully-featured media player. The user can play pictures, audio and video
files.

An interesting feature is the possibility of playing files compliant with open standard Matroska (MKV). This
format allows compression and recording of High Definition channels. It is characterized by good video
quality and comparatively low memory consumption.
