Tricolor TV offers high quality services. The system is designed in such a way that each client of the company can independently understand the internal functionality. Configuration should be carried out in accordance with current recommendations. It happens that the user, trying to independently perform this or that action, does it incorrectly. In this case, the receiver will not function properly. How to reset Tricolor TV to factory settings yourself?
Resetting Tricolor TV to factory settings - instructions
If the equipment begins to malfunction and produce errors, then there is a need to restore the factory settings. Before starting the procedure, it is recommended that you carefully read the step-by-step instructions for action. This will help you complete the operation quickly without spending a lot of time.
The step-by-step instructions were developed for 8300 receivers (GS8304 and 8306). They differ from each other in design and internal software, so there are also some differences in the menu.
It is better to take into account the model of the receiver, which will significantly simplify the procedure.
What the factory settings mean (default)
The default settings of the receiver are the state of the equipment in which it was at the time of purchase, with the exception of one small change: all installed updates are saved. That is why such a rollback will not help when flashing. It allows you to cancel operating system settings, but cannot change the software state.
That is, resetting to the factory level deletes only the system operating parameters set by the subscriber or dealer. The rest remains unchanged, so if the equipment needs more serious software changes, users will have to contact a service center or flash the receiver. It is not possible to get by with a regular reset in such situations, since it will not bring the desired result.
GS8304 attachment
You need to turn on the receiver and TV, synchronize and perform the following steps:
- Enter the menu in the “Configure” section. To do this, you need to press the 2nd button located after “Search”.
- Enter the PIN code, which by default is 0000.
- Oh and confirm the action being performed by pressing the red button on the remote control.
A warning will be displayed on the screen indicating that TV channels and all set parameters will be reset. In order to activate the action, you must confirm your consent.
Next, the receiver will reboot. After the equipment turns on, a request to select an interface language will appear on the screen. You need to install “Russian” and click the “Next” button. Information on setting the av output will appear in a new window; you need to skip it. Next, you should set the time zone and time, and then move on.
The next step is to select an operator and designate the region. After completing these steps, an automatic search for TV channels begins.
Once the scan is complete, the “Done” button will light up and change its color to yellow.
Clicking on it will complete the operation.
What to do after rolling back settings?
The matter does not end with rolling back settings. After rebooting the receiver, a settings table will appear in front of the subscriber, where it will be necessary to set the basic operating parameters of the receiver. This process is also quite simple. As a rule, all basic values are set correctly by default.
What parameters should you pay attention to:
- menu and sound channel language – Russian;
- time zone – in accordance with the subscriber’s region;
- operator – Tricolor TV (according to region).
In the last window, it is important to select the correct region. The system provides the subscriber with three possible options: Moscow time, +2 hours to Moscow and main. The last point should not be installed under any circumstances. Otherwise, the receiver will be able to find and save only one TV channel, and full access to all connected television services will not be possible.
After filling out all the lines of the proposed tables, the receiver will begin automatically searching for available channels. When it is completed, a list of found content will appear on the screen. It must be saved by pressing the yellow button on the remote control or the “Yes” button in the dialog box. These options will, again, depend on the model of the console.
This concludes the basic operations with the attachment. Well, how to set up Tricolor after resetting the factory settings to a level convenient for themselves, each subscriber decides independently. Sorting channels, installing plugins or parental controls after a system rollback is carried out as usual.
Additional Information
After entering these settings, the default settings will be used. Please note that before resetting the settings on Tricolor TV to factory settings, you should carefully read the recommendations. If the need arises, any client can call the customer technical support service in order to receive more detailed advice free of charge.
In 2021, Tricolor TV improved the interface of the internal settings management system. This made it possible to obtain more convenient functionality that is available to every user. If the need arises, you can reset the settings to factory settings yourself, which helps to cope with most of the errors that arise.
When is a factory reset needed and what does it do?
Sometimes malfunctions in the operation of the set-top box or TV signal reception can be corrected by simply resetting the settings to factory settings.
The procedure is simple, so you can do it yourself, without a specialist.
A factory reset can help in the following situations:
- All channels are gone.
- Shows only 1 or a couple of channels.
- Instead of broadcasting, errors with various numbers are displayed. (I recommend trying to fix them using the instructions first.)
- The console itself is malfunctioning.
Problems with unstable picture or poor sound are most often caused by poor signal quality due to weather.
Also check all equipment connection points: sockets, plugs and connectors.
Navigation
Navigation through the receiver menu (applications) is performed using the ◄/► buttons on your remote control from the Tricolor receiver. To move to a section, you need to press the “OK” or ▼ button on your remote control. Use the ▼/▲ buttons to select parameters, to change the parameter values of the ◄/► button on the remote control. To confirm the selection, press the “OK” button on the Tricolor TV remote control
Due to the fact that your receiver may have a different software version installed, the image may differ.
Instructions for rolling back installations
The subscriber's steps to complete the described procedure may vary depending on the model of his set-top box. On old-style equipment, the menu interface is different from the new one. Therefore, we will describe two versions of the instructions.
Rollback on older console models
Before starting the procedure, you must go to the set-top box menu using the Menu button on the control panel. Next, the procedure will be as follows:
- go to the “Settings” section;
- go to the subsection “About the receiver”;
- Scroll through the table that appears on the screen to the “Reset settings” item;
- select this item;
- In the dialog box that appears, click “Yes” to confirm the operation.
Then you need to wait a couple of minutes while the console reboots. After the reboot, all set parameters will be returned to the factory level.
Rollback on receivers of new models
For new Tricolor equipment, resetting to factory settings also occurs through the menu. The procedure will be as follows:
- go to the “Settings” section;
- enter the PIN code (either standard, or, if it has been changed, set by the user);
- wait for the table to appear on the screen;
- go to the line “Factory settings”;
- press the red button on the remote control to confirm the operation;
- wait for the warning message;
- press the red button again.
As a result of the above actions, the receiver will automatically reboot. After this, all its parameters will return to their original form.
A few words about the PIN code
As is already clear from the description above, resetting settings, like any significant operation (connecting new TV channels, blocking services, etc.), must be confirmed with a PIN code. Usually this code is set by the manufacturer the same for all set-top boxes - 0000. But if this combination does not work, it means that one of the subscriber’s household has set their own password. To carry out the procedure you will have to find out.
If the user PIN code is lost, it can be restored, or rather, returned to the standard form. This procedure also occurs differently on different receivers. Therefore, we will not describe it in detail - we recommend that you refer to the instructions included with the device.
What to do if the Tricolor GS E501 receiver gives error 0?
If you get error 0, you need to do the following:
Check card installation
If a 501 error 0 appears on the TV screen with a Tricolor connection, the first thing you need to do is check whether the card is installed correctly. It also happens that the card is simply not inserted or is positioned incorrectly. Before removing or inserting a card, the receiver must be turned off.
Check card and subscription status
Then you need to make sure that the smart card is functioning correctly and that subscriptions are connected. The satellite may well not have identified the map, which was the cause of the problem.
Check software version
Errors may occur due to outdated software. The satellite receiver must have the latest version installed!
Reset factory settings
Resetting to factory settings quite often solves many problems. If the previous tips didn't help, you can try this step. Then you should configure the receiver to Tricolor TV.
Consequences of rollback
Once the settings are rolled back on the receiving equipment, all previous settings are lost. The channels are reset, the programs and their sorting are also reset, the PIN code returns to the standard option. It is worth noting that the software of the receiving equipment will remain the same. It will take some time to perform a complete reset, during which all information will return to its original form. Depending on the type of receiving equipment, rollback occurs differently. But on average, the reset procedure should take 10-15 minutes.
Why does this happen
One of the most common causes of failures is hardware problems. Some software update comes out, or the dish is accidentally moved - and that’s it, the configured list of TV channels fails, gets lost, or even becomes completely unavailable.
The list of reasons for such failures also includes:
- Bad weather preventing the equipment from receiving a good signal.
- Incorrect location of the dish, obstacles in the path of the signal.
- A software update that has gone wrong.
- Late payment by the subscriber.
- Connecting new channel packages.
- Failure to transmit the correct frequencies for broadcast.
- Failures within the equipment itself.
These are just some of the reasons. In practice, viewing can be difficult due to any, even the smallest, problem. Fortunately, this can be fixed without the help of specialists.
Algorithm for returning to factory settings Tricolor TV
- Using your remote control, open Menu and go to Settings. Use the right key to select the rightmost section in the settings menu.
- In this tab, you will select the “Reset settings” item, which must be selected with the “down” key.
- In some cases, the system may request a PIN code. The default code is 0000.
- Click "Ok" and wait until the equipment reboots.
When you reset the settings, the previous settings and channel list will disappear, so you will have to make the user settings again.
What you need to know before resetting
Before you reset the Tricolor to factory settings, you should make sure that such a step is really necessary. Some subscribers believe that this will get rid of:
- problems with TV broadcast quality;
- restore sound;
- get rid of noise in the image, etc.
In fact, such difficulties are easily eliminated by simply adjusting the antenna. In addition, problems can be caused by poor physical contact between equipment. To solve the problem, you should check the integrity of the cables and plugs, make sure that all plugs are plugged in and there is no damage.
