Firmware for the receiver tricolor drs 4500. Owners of receiving equipment models DRS–4500, DRE–4500, DRE–5500, CI7101s, as well as CAM-Siberia-DRE modules, perform a manual search
In our example, I'm looking at the General Satellite DRS 4500 model receiver, but this also applies to the DRE 5500 and DRE 7300 receivers.
Receiver software updates usually occur automatically from satellite.
Sometimes, if the receiver software update is unsuccessful, the Tricolor TV does not turn on or writes that there is no signal. The reason for this may be that the receiver's power is turned off during the satellite update process.
To flash the receiver's firmware at home, you will need a null modem cable, a computer or laptop with a com output, and the firmware itself. The firmware and firmware program can be downloaded from the official website of the receiver manufacturer at http://general-satellite.ru/support/soft/.
After this, connect the receiver, with the receiver's power turned off, using a cable to the computer. We launch the flasher, press the upload button and plug the receiver into a power outlet. The firmware update process is in progress.
After this, you need to go through the process of setting up the receiver.
Resetting the Tricolor 4500 receiver to factory settings and further configuring it.
1. Press the menu button on the tricolor remote control.
We get to the Main menu of the DRS 4500 or DRE 4500 receiver.
Go to Settings and click OK.
2. The receiver will ask us for a PIN code: Enter the PIN.
The default PIN code is four zeros.
We dial 0000 and should get into the settings menu.
If this does not happen, then the PIN code has been changed and you need to remember it.
3. In the Settings menu, go to the very bottom item: Factory Settings.
4. Read the warning on the TV screen.
Press the red button on the remote control.
Select YES and click OK.
After pressing, a factory reset occurs.
5. After the reset, we are taken to the language selection menu.
Click the OK button twice without touching any settings.
6. We get to the automatic search page.
Here we look at the lower right corner.
Two scales must be greater than 50%.
If this is not the case, we solve the problem with the dish or connection.
If more than 50%, click OK with the Next button highlighted.
7. We wait for the channel search to complete.
After searching, a message will appear that it found 53 channels, you may have 50.
8. We get to the Time settings menu.
Select your time zone and set the date and time.
Select OK and click OK.
Below, the video instructions show and explain how to reset the receiver to factory settings, and then how to configure and search for channels.
In connection with the launch in 2014 of the Express AT-1 (56E) satellite, which will replace the Bonum-1/DIRECTV-1R satellites that have expired their warranty period, subscribers of Tricolor TV Siberia will be faced with the need to configure channels on their receiver (DRS/DRE- 4500) from the new satellite, therefore:
In addition to the presented firmware for the DRS-4500 and DRE-4500 receivers, this article describes the procedure for configuring the receiver to a satellite.
Receivers DRS-4500 and DRE-4500were supplied to the market with an access card for viewing Tricolor TV Siberia channels (the receivers of these models are currently out of production), so we will consider the description using the example of setting up for the Bonum-1/DIRECTV-1R satellites that were still active at the time of writing.
After the launch of the new satellite, we will make changes to the article we offer for your reference with exact data on setting up channels from the new satellite.
