How to set up digital channels on a Shivaki TV: when to buy a set-top box, as well as tuning old and modern TV models to receive DTV

Checking DVB-T2 on a Shivaki TV receiver

There are several ways to find out whether Shivaki's TV supports DVB-T2: the simplest is to open the instructions and look at the technical specifications. There will be an inscription about support for DVB-T/T2 MPEG-4. There are two more options:

1. Go to the Yandex Market website. Type the TV model in the search section and find the “all characteristics” field. In the item called “signal reception” we are looking for DVB-T/T2 MPEG-4.
2. You can simply call the equipment manufacturer's service center.

What to do if the TV stops turning on?

It will be much more comfortable and better to call a specialist who has been dealing with these problems for a very long time, and who will fix your problem easily and quickly.

The TV turns on with a delay.

Does your AIWA TV turn on with a delay and you can't wait to turn it on? These problems indicate that your device is not working properly and need to be fixed immediately. The beginning of the long-awaited film will definitely be missed, and no one will recover the nerves spent because of this problem. Malfunctions can be due to several reasons:

• The power supply is not working correctly
• There are problems that need to be fixed, for example in the motherboard
• There are problems with the radio channel

When should you buy a set-top box?

Purchasing a set-top box is necessary if the old TV model does not have the DVB-T/T2 MPEG-4 function. A digital receiver offers many benefits to users:

1. It has a large memory capacity, which allows you to save any number of channels.
2. Digital television improves picture quality and resolution.
3. By purchasing a digital receiver, you can save a lot of money without having to change your TV.

It is important that before purchasing a set-top box, you need to make sure that the TV is in normal working condition. If the board works with difficulty and the chips are old, then the digital set-top box may not function on this TV model. To connect, it is enough to use a decimeter antenna. It needs to be connected to the TV using a cable and directed towards the nearest aerial platform.

If there is no built-in tuner and a set-top box is purchased, then the antenna is first connected to the set-top box, and then to the TV.

Who is the manufacturer

The Shivaki company appeared in 1988 in Japan and was engaged in the production of audio and video equipment, including televisions. The equipment of this brand was sold in many countries. In the USSR, the Shivaki brand was well known thanks to black marketeers who sold VCRs and cassettes.

In 1994, the Shivaki brand was acquired by the international company AGIV Group, whose head office is in Germany. After this, the range of products was significantly expanded. Shivaki equipment is produced in many countries around the world. TVs coming to our market are assembled in Russia.

Feedback from Shivaki TV users and answers to questions

The order of channels on Shivaki is confused

Vitra stv-24ledgr9 channels installed in a certain order after some time spontaneously reboot as during auto-tuning. Couldn't this be auto-tuning with an update in the TV's firmware? I would like to get rid of this problem. 11/14/2018.

Your TV has three ways to create your own channel list, described in the instruction manual. 1) Editing the channel number after auto-tuning. 2) Manually adjust each position number of the list to the desired channel. 3) Formation of a favorite list of FAV channels from the available ones. Try changing the setup method. It is always useful to update the firmware; this can be done at an authorized service center. However, such behavior of the TV due to the old firmware version is unlikely. This situation occurs if the LCN option is enabled on the TV - tuning channels according to the priority of the transmitting station, or the option of periodically updating channels. Look carefully among the sections of the STV-24LEDGR9 Menu - they should be disabled if available.

How to launch the initial setup menu

The fact is that there is no separate button for calling up the initial setup menu on the Shivaki STV-39LED20W (first time setup) and this setup starts only when the TV is turned on for the first time! The TV menu has buttons for setting the language, country, and channel settings. And the point of re-running first time setup is that only there there is an Auto channel update option, which I need to disable! I didn’t know what it was before and missed this position by leaving it on, now I’m tormented by the fact that the TV constantly updates satellite channels, crashes them and loses my settings! I tried to reset the settings to factory defaults and turned it off from the network, but I couldn’t run the “first time setup”!!! How can I repeat this procedure again so that the TV calls up this setting when turned on? 05/02/2018

Your TV probably needs to update its software. We recommend that you contact the Shivaki service center with this question rus.shivaki.com/support.html

How to remember the password on your TV

I set a password on the SHIVAKI STV-32LED13 TV and forgot it. Now I can’t set up channels or change the password, since I don’t remember the old one. Please tell me how to knock down the locks. 03/30/2018

Unfortunately, we do not have specific information on the STV-32LED13 model. Methods for recovering a password for various TVs are described in the section How to recover a password. Perhaps, in your case, the only way to reset the password and restore the ability to retune television channels will be to reflash the memory chip in a service workshop.

How to connect the receiver to the TV

05/22/2020 Shivaki STV 2937 The TV is located in a country house in the suburbs, 5 km from the city, in working condition, we wanted to connect the receiver, but there is no signal, the receiver is new.

Tuning to channels is carried out using the receiver's remote control. The TV should not respond to the receiver's remote control. The receiver itself must respond to the receiver's remote control.

It is enough to connect the equipment yourself and carry out automatic configuration.

If you have any problems, you can call the free 24-hour hotline: 8−800−220−20−02. There is also a portal on the Internet “See Digital”. There you can find answers to most of your questions. On the hotline, specialists will be able to answer questions or provide assistance with technical problems when connecting digital TV.

Digital TV is increasingly becoming part of the everyday life of modern people. Therefore, the government developed a Federal program for connecting to digital television and improving television broadcasting. Owners of the Japanese brand Shivaki, regardless of whether their TV model is old or new, can independently set up the main digital channels.

If the model does not have the DVB-T/T2 MPEG-4 function, then you need to connect a digital receiver. It costs from 800 rubles and provides stable viewing of digital television on different TV models. For Smart TV Shivaki, such a receiver is not needed, since it has a built-in tuner for digital reception.

Operation and repair

Of course, as in the instructions for any other TV, Shivaki recommends:

• place the device only on a stable support;
• avoid moisture, vibration, and static electricity;
• use only equipment that is compatible with the technical specifications;
• do not arbitrarily change the layout of the TV, do not remove or add details;
• do not open the TV yourself and do not try to repair it at home;
• prevent direct exposure to sunlight;
• Strictly comply with electrical regulations.

If the TV doesn't turn on, there's no reason to panic. First you need to check the serviceability of the remote control and the batteries in it. Next is to test the front on and off button. If she does not respond, they find out whether there is power in the house. When it is not broken, they examine the functionality of the outlet, all network wires and the internal wiring of the TV, as well as the plug.

If there is no sound, you must first check whether it was turned off normally, and whether this is due to a broadcast failure or a defect in the file being played. When such assumptions are not justified, the search for the real cause of the problems may take longer. In this case, be sure to check that the power supply to the speakers is working correctly and that all speaker cables are intact. Sometimes “muteness” is associated with a failure not of the acoustic subsystem, but of the central control board.

But such cases should be dealt with by a qualified specialist.

Theoretically, a universal remote control is suitable for any Shivaki TV model. But a specialized control device will definitely be a more valuable acquisition. When using it, you must always be careful to ensure that the screen is not scratched. But it is always delicate and can even suffer from contact with the surface of furniture. Only a VESA format bracket can be used to mount TVs on the wall.

Connecting your phone to Shivaki TV via USB port is quite simple. To do this, you just need to use a special cable. But this is only possible if the television receiver itself supports some programs. Synchronization is also possible via a Wi-Fi adapter. True, this device is also usually placed in a USB port, and will be of little use if it is busy.

Sometimes an HDMI cable is used for the same purpose. This mode is supported by many Shivaki TVs. But not all smartphones have yet implemented it technically.

You can find out the necessary details about your mobile device in its technical specifications. You will need an MHL adapter for this to work.

Antennas with a resistance of 300 Ohms can only be connected via a 75 Ohm adapter. In the image settings menu you can change the brightness, contrast, sharpness, color and hue. Through the screen settings you can adjust:

• color noise suppression;
• Colorful temperature;
• frame rate (120 Hz is better for sports, fast-paced films and video games);
• picture mode (including HDMI).

How to setup?

Setting up Shivaki TVs is not too difficult. First you need to make sure that the TV signal source is set correctly. A regular terrestrial antenna is designated in the menu as DVBT. Then you need to enable the main settings menu. Next, go to the “Channels” section (Channel in the English version).

Now you need to use the Auto item, also known as “Automatic search” in the Russian version. You will have to confirm your choice of this option.

It is strictly not recommended to interrupt the auto search. Useless channels are removed as needed. Individual broadcast programs can be configured manually.

Manual search is similar to automatic tuning. But catching channels in this mode is, of course, somewhat more difficult. You will have to select the channel number that you plan to change. Subsequent scanning will be performed automatically. However, users have the ability to manually adjust the frequency, adapting to the broadcasting features more subtly.

Searching for satellite channels is done by selecting the DVB-S signal source. In the “Channels” section you will have to indicate the satellite you are using. If you have any difficulties, it is better to contact your provider and check with them about the satellite. Sometimes the necessary data can simply be taken from the settings of older equipment.

It is recommended to leave all other options unchanged - they are set optimally by default.
