The Spark 2 Combo is a versatile multimedia receiver designed to provide a comprehensive entertainment experience, integrating various functionalities for television viewing, media playback, and interactive features. This quick start guide outlines its setup, operation, and troubleshooting, ensuring users can maximize its capabilities.
The Spark 2 Combo serves as a digital receiver capable of processing satellite (DVB-S/S2) and terrestrial/cable (DVB-T/T2/DVB-C) signals, allowing users to access a wide range of television channels. Beyond its primary function as a TV receiver, it acts as a powerful media player, supporting numerous audio and video formats. It also incorporates smart features, enabling network connectivity for online content, multi-screen interaction, and application management. The device is powered by a quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, ensuring smooth performance for its various operations.
Upon first power-on, the Spark 2 Combo initiates an easy installation process. This begins with language selection, where users can choose their preferred language using the UP/DOWN keys and confirm with OK. Following this, network settings are configured. The device supports both wired (LAN) and wireless (WIFI) connections. For wired connections, users can configure network settings via the Ethernet submenu, with options for DHCP on (automatic IP detection) or DHCP off (manual IP entry). For wireless connections, the WIFI submenu displays available WLANs, requiring a password for secure networks. Additionally, the device supports 3G network connectivity via an external 3G USB dongle, with specific parameters needing to be entered.
Time settings are the next step, allowing users to set the time manually or automatically via DVB or network mode. This includes selecting the time mode and GMT offset. Finally, resolution settings are configured, where users select the desired resolution (e.g., 720P 60HZ, 1080P 60HZ, 2160P 30HZ) based on their HD TV set.
After initial settings, the Simple Install menu appears. This allows configuration of satellite and terrestrial/cable tuners. Users can configure one satellite with direct connection, up to 4 satellites with DiSEqC 1.0, or up to 16 satellites with DiSEqC 1.1. For terrestrial/cable, one tuner can be configured. The process involves selecting the DiSEqC type, LNB type, and the desired satellite. A scan can then be initiated to search for channels, displaying progress and found programs. If the initial installation is exited without completing the channel search, the Advanced Install App can be used later to find more channels.
