Instructions for connecting and setting up the Cadena digital set-top box

Comparison of Cadena console models

To date, the company has developed more than 20 models of digital set-top boxes that work with the DVB-T standard and receive a digital signal. Their main difference from each other is the presence of certain connectors through which they are connected to the TV. For example, earlier models can be connected via more wires than new ones.

A list of all consoles is presented in the table below.

Connection diagram to a TV using the example of Cadena CDT-100 and 1711SB

For clarity, we specifically took the 2 most popular models of Cadena set-top boxes and will try to understand the procedure for connecting them to any TV.

First, we need a general connection diagram for a digital set-top box for receiving over-the-air broadcasts through a conventional external or indoor antenna. As you can see, the antenna cable output must always pass through the set-top box.

The point here is that the digital signal is transmitted in encrypted form. To put it simply, it’s just a set of ones and zeros. To decrypt it and provide it to the user, a decryptor is needed. In modern TV models it is already built-in. However, in older ones you have to pass this signal through additional converters, which are set-top boxes.

Connecting models like Cadena CDT-100

As a first example, let's take the CDT-100 . This set-top box has only 1 output through which it can be connected to a TV. This is HDMI. This is an interface that allows you to view images in high definition.

If your TV has one, you will need to purchase a wire from the store to connect the set-top box via this interface. Its cost is not high and starts from 100 rubles. It's better to pay a little more so that the cable lasts longer.

However, not all TVs that do not have the ability to independently receive digital numbers have an HDMI input. Usually this is RSA or SCART. If this is your case, then for a Cadena set-top box with connectors like the CDT-100, you can purchase a signal converter for RSA.

In our stores, this can cost a decent amount, around 700-1200 rubles. Here you will have to think several times whether it is worth it.

Connection options for 1711SB

Cadena set-top boxes of this type are more preferable, because they can be connected to almost any TV. At least you will have at least 3 options that can configure digital broadcasting 90% of the time.

1. HDMI. If the TV is capable of directly (without a converter) receiving a signal via hdmi, you should choose it first, as it provides the best image.
2. RSA. Tulips should be connected by color. In this case, 2 colored wires will be responsible for the sound, and 3 for displaying the image on the screen.
3. SCART. It occurs very rarely and in quite old TV models. If this input is available, you must additionally purchase a special adapter with RSA cables.

Search 20 digital channels on the Cadena set-top box

To check that the Cadena set-top box is connected correctly, you need to switch to the display mode on the TV through which the connection took place. Depending on the manufacturer, the choice of source may be done differently. Typically in practice the situation is as follows:

• Select HDMI if you connected the set-top box via this cable.
• AV. In case of using RSA.
• SCART. Again, if one was used.

After this, you can turn on the power of the console. When you turn it on for the first time, the auto-tuning window should open. Usually it is enough to find all 20 digital channels. To carry out the operation you need:

1. Set the initial menu language and country.
2. Specify “Open” in the channel type.
3. Click on the “Search for channels” button.

After the set-top box scans the entire frequency range, all found TV channels will be saved. The menu will exit automatically.

Manual search on the Cadena console

If the TV tower is located at a considerable distance from you, then a situation may arise when you have to configure the digital number manually, according to the data you have on the channel number and frequency. In this case, you will need to do the following:

1. Find out the exact frequency of digital broadcasting in your region. To do this, you will need an interactive CETV map.
2. After that, you can go to the device menu. Here we are interested in the channel search section. We select manual search in it.

3. In the menu that appears, you need to select the reception frequency you need. You just need to indicate the channel number that you received in the first step. After specifying this parameter, non-zero marks should appear in the signal level and quality column.

During the manual search, the set-top box will only pass through the frequency band you specified and scan the digital channels available on it.

Possible malfunctions of the Kadena console

No one is immune from troubles. However, for a number of possible problems with the operation of the set-top box, there are already several solutions available. We will provide some of the most popular errors.

The set-top box is not searching/Too few channels/No signal

1. Look for a problem in the antenna. Perhaps it is selected incorrectly or one of the wires has come loose.
2. Try to manually search for channels using the broadcast frequency specified for your region.

Forgot password

In order to reset all settings to factory settings, including the password, you need to search for all channels again. Just run auto-tuning.

There is sound, but no picture / Vice versa

1. Check that the correct display source is selected on your TV.
2. Carefully examine the cable connecting the set-top box. If it is RSA, then you need to look for the problem in the plugs responsible for sound (R and L) or image (Video).

The set-top box turns off/reboots on its own

Check the device's power cord. If it is working, then reset the set-top box to factory settings or restart the auto-tuning of channels.

Reviews

Currently, Cadena products are in demand. The company additionally produces various cable and broadcast equipment. Digital set-top boxes have not yet become so popular, with the exception of some models.

For example, many praise the simplicity and reliability of the CDT-100. This attachment is made as simple as possible and setting it up will not be difficult. In addition, those who have already used it claim that it can work around the clock.

In the future, the company's digital set-top boxes will only develop. Judging by the reviews, buyers will sooner or later appreciate all the advantages of these devices over similar ones already available in our markets.
