Gs b520 operating instructions. Let's start the GS B520 review of applications by checking the operation of the receiver with an external drive, for this we need a USB flash drive on which we have prepared various files and folders in which there are videos and pictures in different formats
GS B 520, new receiver for the operator, receiver box.
Today let's take a closer look and talk about a new product for the operator. Not about some advertising magazine copy, but about a real production sample.
Which can already be found freely available throughout the vast expanses of our country.
We could post a photo from a magazine photo or presentation..... But many. Who has been with us for more than one day. You know. What we try to post detailed reviews and depending on the interest in the topic of viewers, readers, subscribers or friends, we post further materials about a particular product.
Today it’s the turn of the receiver, which replaced several models at once. This is the GS B520 receiver.
GS B 520, operator receiver, receiver description.
Let's start, as usual in our similar reviews, with the packaging.
So to speak - a candy wrapper, and whether this candy will be tasty.
We'll find out at the very end. As we can see, the packaging design has not been changed much. Although in such a time it would be possible to try and make small innovations in the packaging concept. Of course, there are reasons for this. But of course it’s too early to say how valid they are here. Perhaps someday we will touch on this topic in more detail.
GS B 520, new, number and date of issue.
You can only note the production date. Judging by the information on the sticker, this receiver that we are dealing with today is still “warm”. Since its production date suggests that it is not even a month old yet. Which of course can be considered a plus. Because in in this case The logistics of this product from the moment of production to the moment it is received by the end buyer are excellent, let's see if this fact will be the only plus or not.
GS B 520, new receiver, new map sticker.
Here, of course, one more detail can be answered: now they have begun to put a sticker on the packaging of the receiver for which part of the country they are intended for.
In this case, we see that the European part of the country is painted over.
Having opened the package, you can notice the very tight layout; this receiver is located in it with a minimum gap. But you can watch about this in our video. We will not post these photos here.
GS B 520, new receiver review, general view.
Let's look at the receiver. We see that this case is made of plastic; on the front panel we see a connector for external connection and one button that turns on this receiver.
GS B 520, receiver for, information on the case.
On the case you can now see several stickers, one of them is the receiver number, the second is the identification number in the operator’s system, and the third is the region for which this receiver is intended.
GS B 520, new operator receiver, connectors for external connections.
Now let's look at the connectors. Everything is standard here, stop at each one and write down what this connector is needed for. This one doesn’t make sense for this purpose, the only thing is that you can note an additional connector for connecting an RJ45 or network connector or figure-eight and isernet or ethernet - whichever is more convenient to call it. We'll talk about how it fits into this receiver later, when we disassemble this receiver.
GS B 520, new receiver, new slot.
And what we also wanted to point out as part of this review is the additional slot on the side wall, what it is needed for and what its functional load is, we will also definitely check it, but that will be a little later.
In the meantime, you can watch a video about the receiver.
Enjoy watching!
We watched the video, now we can continue.
GS B 520, receiver, remote control.
As you can see, the remote control in this receiver is new and small.
GS B 520, receiver, information about connectors in the user manual.
Anyone who has forgotten which button means what can remember by looking at the corresponding page. Here's an example:
1. On/Off button — using this button you can switch the operating mode of the receiver from operating mode to standby mode and, accordingly, back.
2. “Big TV” button - using it you can open the “Popular TV Channels” application
4. “Radio” button - switches between watching television and listening to the radio.
6. “OK” button - Confirm selection in modes where necessary. Using it, you can display a list of TV channels on the screen.
9. The “Subtitles” button, it is yellow and using this button you can call up the info banner or use application prompts to access additional functions.
GS B 520, receiver for operator, information on remote control buttons.
11. Stop button - stop playback in various applications.
18. “Menu” button - using it you can display information from the main menu of the receiver on the TV screen
There are two sheets of description here and we won’t describe all the buttons.
GS B 520, receiver, power supply for receiver.
And also look at the external power supply for this receiver, it has also changed a little visually, while the connection connector and input and output characteristics remain the same as on many other receivers from the GS Group manufacturer.

Another receiver model from the company, created for participants in equipment exchange programs. The device supports the format high definition, which means it is recommended for those who want to change their usual television, adding color and realism to it. The GS B520 receiver from Tricolor promises to be one of the most reliable set-top boxes with a wide range of functions and capabilities.
Equipment characteristics
The GS B520 receiver combines an ergonomic classic design, as well as updated software that takes into account the errors of previous models. At the same time, the characteristics are selected optimally for comfortable use by the modern consumer. The receiver can be connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi router V home network, and will also open up opportunities for viewing content on smartphones and tablets, thanks to mirror streaming features. However, this will require installing the “Play.Tricolor” application on mobile devices.
The provider claims high speed operation of the equipment and absolute security from unauthorized access to information.
This is due to the use powerful processor MStar K5 and a modified software environment from the GS Group holding. The GS B 520 set-top box is equipped with a USB connector for connecting external drives and additional devices. The connector for connecting an external infrared sensor allows you to install the receiver behind obstacles without losing control of the remote control.
Installation diagram
The Tricolor GS-B520 receiver does not have fundamental differences from previous models in functional connectors, so the connection occurs according to the standard scheme.
The primary factor during installation is the installation of the antenna, but given the fact that the equipment is exchangeable, the dish should already be installed. This means it’s worth talking about how to connect the receiver itself directly. A short guide to action is as follows:
Set-top box software update
Tricolor TV plans to soon release an update to the previously installed software for the B520 receiver. It will take into account problems with controllability, and the new environment will also allow accepting satellite signal more confident. The instructions on how to update the software yourself are quite simple. You can do this in three ways:
- via satellite;
- using a computer;
- using a flash drive.
From satellite
According to the manufacturer, updating via satellite is the most logical option.
It is important not to turn off the equipment or interrupt the boot process, otherwise malfunctions may occur.
This option has significant drawback: the process may take time from 5 minutes to several hours, it all depends on the signal quality and weather conditions influencing him.
Via computer
To flash the receiver via a computer:
- It must be connected to the PC using a USB cable in a disconnected state.
- Install the “GS Burner” program by downloading it from the provider’s website, and also do not forget about the corresponding files with the software. They can be found by model name.
- After launching the program, you will need to specify the path to the files by opening the “Open File” tab.
- Click “Upload” and connect the set-top box to the network. The installation completion will be indicated by a 100% loading bar.
Using a flash drive
If for some reason this procedure was not successful, the program version will remain the same. The situation will be corrected by a flash card with the same installation file. The description of the action algorithm is as follows.
When you turn on the GS B522 and GS B520 receiver for the first time, a welcome window appears on the screen. If necessary, you can set the time and date here. But usually this is not required since the receiver receives the date and time from the satellite.
Press the OK button on the receiver’s remote control and go to the “Search for Tricolor TV” page.
In this menu, use the “right” and “left” buttons to select an operator. For the European part the operator is "Tricolor TV" for Siberia "Tricolor-Siberia". If the plate is configured correctly, when you select an operator, the “Strength” and “Quality” scales will be filled.
Use the “down” button to select “continue” and click OK.
After this, the region selection option appears. Select the region using the up and down buttons and press the OK button. For the European part of the country, the region is “Main”. When you select the "Ural" region, in addition to the channels of the main region, federal channels with broadcasting +2 hours.
After this happens automatic search channels. Upon completion of the search, you just need to click the “OK” button and select “Save”.
In order to re-search channels on the configured receiver:
Press "Menu" and Select the item “Search for Tricolor channels”, andClick “Start Search” with the “OK” button
Organization and sorting of channels on GS B522 and GS B520 receivers.
On this moment Tricolor TV has more than 200 different TV channels, and of course, you have those that you love more than others. It will be much more convenient if all your favorite channels are in one, separate list and you don’t have to search for them among other channels.
To create such a list you need:
Press the “Menu” button on the receiver remote control and go to the “Applications” section, and in itSelect the “Channel Editor” application.
When you go to the channel editor, you will see two columns: the list of channels is displayed on the right, and the channels included in this list are displayed on the left.
To create new list press the red button on the receiver's remote control.
The screen will appear screen keyboard. Using the “up”, “down”, “right”, “left” and “OK” buttons you can title the new list, then save the name by pressing the blue button.
Now, to add your channels to a new list, select it using the “up” and “down” buttons and press “right”
Click green button on the remote control to display a list of channels.
After selecting the channel you want to add to the list, click OK. To the right of the channel will appear green tick indicating that the channel has been added to the list.
Once you have selected all channels simply press "exit". The right side of the window now shows your selected channels in the order you want.
Now, when displaying the list of channels, you have a new group, by selecting it you will see your added channels.
Unlike earlier receiver models, when channels are added to the favorites list, in these models the channel numbering changes and corresponds to the order in which they were added to the list. For example, if you add channel 185 first, then it becomes 1 in the list. And when switching channels, the list numbering is now used, and not the channel number that was assigned to it during the initial setup.
Your Tricolor TV GS B520 receiver is configured and ready to work. Enjoy watching.
GS B520 let's see what's inside, review of the new receiver.
Today we continue our acquaintance with a new receiver for the operator. (NJSC "NSK" is a non-public joint stock company "National satellite company"Legal education, brand owner"). Which is mainly created by the manufacturer GS as a receiver that will be used to exchange the operator’s old fleet of receivers (NAO “NSK” - non-public joint stock company “National Satellite Company” legal entity, owner of the brand”) for a new one. This promotion has been going on for a long time in retail specialized stores, it comes in different variations and in different price ranges, but we won’t talk about the exchange today, our task is to add missing information about the GS B520 receiver and collect reviews and comments on this product for yourself.
In the previous review, we already told you about the receiver housing and in this review we will not pay additional attention to this detail.
GS B520 receiver review.
We can only note the following detail - the main board is slightly smaller in size than the tray on which it is located, and here we can note this fact as an event that occurred with the manufacturer. Finally, they began to conserve resources and the case was commensurate with the size of the main board.
GS B520 home motherboard receiver
When removing top cover There are a few elements that stand out that we'll talk about and look at in more detail a little later. Now we specifically show both color and black and white photos of the main board in general form, for an initial acquaintance with the product.
GS B520 full analysis of the new receiver.
As you can immediately notice, this receiver is fundamentally different from receivers... Which have been offered until today. And here it becomes interesting, why did they change everything so radically? Now let's look at everything carefully, we hope that in the final part of the review we will fully answer this question.
GS B520 main board, factory markings.
First, let's look at the markings... Which is present on the board. Here we see that there are marks.
GS B520 we disassemble the receiver and see what's inside.
But there is information about... What kind of board is this and for what purpose? model range it is intended. Our copy is marked B520_r.0.04, released in 2015. Everything is clearly visible and everything is easy to read.
GS B520 main receiver board for operator
Here it is worth noting a moment that is very clearly visible in the photo. On the edge printed circuit board the fibers are clearly visible, it’s strange that the edges of the printed circuit board are still not processed; if you remember the first DRE 4000 that sailed to the country from far away, then this was not the case. Okay, we hope that this fact will not affect the performance and durability of the device as a whole.
GS B520 we consider the main board.
Now let's look at CPU this receiver for digital satellite television. Here we see that there is a cooling radiator on it to remove heat, the dimensions of the radiator are impressive and by its size we can judge how much heat will be generated.
GS B520 central processor.
But let’s immediately look at the density of the elements and here everything is very clearly visible, how they decided to do it in order to reduce losses as much as possible. Let's remove the radiator and see what's underneath, advertising is one thing.
GS B520 CPU heatsink.
But what it costs is something completely different. The radiator can be removed without much difficulty and we put it aside.
GS B520 heatsink for the receiver's main processor.
Of course, there are methods for accurately calculating radiators, and here the developers take into account the required power dissipation in their methods.
For this, many parameters are important, for example, you need to clearly understand the temperature environment in which the device will be used, what configuration is used in the device, of course you need to look at the materials from which both the radiator and the housing are made. We don’t need this, there are developers and they get paid, it is important for us that the power of this radiator is sufficient for our processor to different modes did not overheat and showed maximum performance.
GS B520 processor MSD 7C77-R00-NAO
We see the marking of the MSD 7C77-R00-NAO processor, but we don’t know anything about this product today, even the manufacturer from Taiwan has nothing about this processor. Isn’t it true, this turns out to be very interesting and there are two options: either this processor was specially prepared for the GS receiver, or it is so bad that no one uses it in their equipment anymore. And if so, then let's wait and see what happens next. In general, it is of course very strange that there is no information about this product.
GS B520 coprocessor GSDDSGS1A000B
Now let's look at the development from GS Nanotech, coprocessor GSDDSGS1A000B. So there is nothing on it either and GS Nanotech are silent about it, here we can assume that they themselves know nothing about it. Here, of course, it is also very interesting and it is possible that we will soon learn something about him in detail.
GS B520 processor and memory combination on the main board.
And so it turns out to be a very interesting combination in this product and the decision to insert such a large radiator becomes completely understandable from a theoretical point of view, because we don’t know the real indicators of what this processor can do.
Memory 25Q032
Of course, indirectly, we can judge the processor by the 25Q032 permanent memory; this product is already well known.
But the fact that it is used is not very encouraging, in the sense that it does not have a product that would show us that the processor operates at some new speeds.
RAM H5TQ4G63CFR
Right next to it we see that there is SKhynix H5TQ4G63CFR RAM, which is not so bad; for such a receiver today this is a good solution.
demodulator MSB1310
Here I would like to note the use of the MSB1310 demodulator, where it is not used now; this microcircuit is probably now found on almost all receivers that are sold on our market, both satellite and terrestrial.
tuner EARDATEK 11670RE
Let's immediately see what kind of tuner is installed here, and here we see - the EARDATEK tuner and this immediately explains the peculiarity of the receiver with visual low level signal on transponders. Input NIM modules (Network Interface Module) from Chinese company This is not the first time that EARDATEK has been used by GS, and not only are they intended to work in digital satellite receivers many manufacturers, but the fact that they showed themselves to be good during operation as in the digital satellite standard DVB television S, and in the digital satellite television standard DVB S2. In theory, this tuner is capable of showing high sensitivity and ability to operate under conditions ranging from -65dBm ~ -25dBm
chip RA523
Of course, it's time to wrap up this review. But let's look at a couple more places as part of this review... And we'll watch the rest another time.
I would like to note that as protection against thunderstorms or short circuit from HDMI the same TPD13S523 RA523 chip is used. Explosion or damage, which is saved by the processor. But it shows... That the owner of the receiver did not follow the rules. Prescribed by the manufacturer. Therefore, it is better for owners to follow the rules.
SIM card slot on the GS B520 receiver
Let's finish for today with the SIM card slot. Which is currently not yet used for its intended purpose and will be in demand. If everything works out soon.
Here you go. Today we can say that the plan that was initially implemented. There are still points that I would like to talk about... But this will not happen today. In any case... As you can see, there is a lot to see in this receiver.
