Installing the software and drivers
The software for your PVR is called Topfield Windows Applications Setup, and can be downloaded from the UK Topfield
web site at www.topfield.co.uk.
It will run on most recent versions of Windows that support
USB connections, but for best results you should have a PC
with a USB 2.0 connection, which is much faster.
The software is distributed as a Zip file, which is a type of
archive that you will need to extract it from; you can do this
automatically by double clicking on the downloaded file on
most Windows computers. After extracting the file from the
archive, double click on it to start the setup wizard.
Read the instructions carefully, then click next to TF5xxx series,
and then click Next. Now you can choose which Topfield
applications you want to install, and which model you have.
From the drop-down menu at the top of this screen, you should
choose TF5xxxPVRt.
In the list of optional components below, this should automatically select the correct files for your PVR, which are the base
files, the USB driver, Altair, which is used to transfer files to
and from your PC, TFDN USB and TFD Down, both of which
can be used to update the system software on the PVR.
Click the Next button to start installing the selected software on
your computer. You’ll need to choose the folder where you’d
like the software stored, and then click Install.

Connecting the PVR to your PC
