Make absolutely sure that your receiver is not exposed to drip-
ping or splashing water. Protect the receiver from moisture.
In addition, ensure that the ventilation openings are never
obstructed. Do not place your receiver near sources of heat.
Heat build-up in the reciever is a source of danger and redu-
ces the receiver´s operating life.
When operating in a wall unit (or in a camper, for example),
maintain distances of at least 10 cm – see illustration.
When not using your receiver for longer periods of time, even
at night, switch it off with the power button.
You will save energy.
Even when switched off, the unit may be damamged by light-
ning striking the mains and/or aerial lead.
During a thunderstorm, you should always disconnect the
mains and aerial plugs.
Attention !
Exhausted batteries from the remote control do not belong in
the household rubbish. Exhausted batteries must be taken to
a special waste collecting point. This operating manual is
printed on chlorine-free paper which helps protect the
environment.

General
Congratulations for selecting your new STR 312 stereo satel-
lite receiver. Please read the operating instructions first. We
assume from the description of the functions that the aerial
has benn properly installed and that the receiver has been
correctly connected.
Connecting the SAT receiver to the
television set
You will obtain the best picture quality by connecting the
receiver and the TV set with a EURO-AV cable (see connec-
tion examples) If you have a TV set without a EURO-AV
socket, the connection can be made with an integrated modu-
lator via a coaxial cable. The module is preset to channel 36.
If this channel is already occupied by your video recorder or
by a terrestrial TV station, you can simply change the channel
(see adjusting the HF modulator). You can choose between
channel 25 and 60. The TV set must afterwards be set to the
same channel.
Aerial input selection
The receiver has 2 aerial outputs. The programming was se-
lected for the customary solution with a 14/18 volt LNC
switch-over. If another solution, such as dual cable distributi-
on in the first intermediate frequency level (H/V separated), or
multi- aerials or multi-feed are desired, the 2 aerial inputs
must be programmed according to programme position and
activated as follows: buttons.
Press the V/H button twice. Then using the ɼɦ buttons, se-
lect input A ´Q or B ´W. The following appears in the display:
or
IH A
IH B
Store the setting with the MEMORY button.
The display shows the current programme position again.
Should disturbances in the form of spikes appear (short black
or white lines) these can be eliminated by pressing the P/F
button and corrected with the ɼɦ button.
Press MEMORY again to store.
Note
The receiver has already been preset to all current program-
mes of various satellites. See yellow pages: TV Station Table.
It is easy if you want to arrange the programme order different-
ly. For information on this procedure, please refer to the detailed
description (see Mode functions COPY and Sort).
Entering the LNC oscillator frequency
The receiver can be switched between the most commonly
used LNC´s with the oscillator frequency 9.75 GHz or
10.00 GHz.
You can tune the inputs of your unit to these frequencies.
Switch the unit on while keeping the button V/H depressed.
Display: "In A
"
Use button V/H to select input A (display: "In A") and input B
(display: "In b
" ).
Use the ɼɦbuttons to select 9.75 GHz and 10 GHz for each
input.
For LNC´s with other oscillator frequencies, refer to the sec-
tion "Selecting the Programme/Frequency".
Important Information

Because the receiver only allows 4-place entries, the first
place is neither entered nor displayed.
Example:
ARD transmission frequency on Astra: 11494 MHz
Receiver input: 11494
ZDF transmission frequency on Astra: 10964 MHz
Receiver input: 11964
Enter the satellite transmission frequency. This requires the
correct selection of the oscillator frequency 9.75 or
10.00 GHz (refer to the section "Entering the LNC Oscillator
Frequency").
For LNC´s with an oscillator frequency other than 9.75 or
10.00 GHz, you must select 10 GHz. When this is the case,
the programme frequency to be set does not agree with the
satellite´s transmission frequency. Determine the correct fre-
quency by subtracting the LNC frequency from the satellite
transmission frequency.
Examples:
Transmission frequency of ARD with Astra: 11494 MHz
LNC frequency: –19665 MHz
Frequency to adjust: = 1829 MHz
Transm. frequ. of PRO 7 with Kopernikus: 12559 MHz
LNC frequency: –11475 MHz
Frequency to adjust: = 1084 MHz
Selecting vertical/horizontal polarization
Press the V/H button. The following appears in the display:
Selection can be made between V1, H1, V2 and H2 using the
ɼɦbuttons.
The LNC power supply amounts to 14 volt "vertical" and 18
volt "horizontal". Note that V2 and H2, a switching frequency
of 22 kHz is superimposed on the LNC voltage 14/18 volt.
For LCDs with magnetic polarizer, the corresponding the
skew optimal value must be adjusted after polarization selec-
tion. (See chapter "ALL" – Accepting the skew value).
Pressing V/H again displays the input ("In A" or "In b"), which
is selected by the ɼɦ button. (See chapter on selcting aerial
input).
10
After switching on with the power button,ßQ the receiver
automatically reselects the most previous programme
position (Last Station Memory).
Select the programme position with the remote control button
ɼɦ or with the numeric or programme buttons “
ǵ“
Ƕ.
The display indicates the selected programme position and
the corresponding programme position number appears on
the screen as well, though briefly.
The receiver is switched on from stand by with the the ɼɦ
buttons or with the remote control numeric buttons. The
receiver is switched on to the last selected programme with
programme buttons “
ǵ“
Ƕ. The Last-Station Memory
applies in this situation as well.
Selecting programme/frequency
You can switch between the programme position and fre-
quency input mode using the P/F button.Programme
positions P1 to P199 and in frequency mode from 700 to
2050 MHz are indicated in the display.
The actual reception range of your unit depends on the LNC
used in each case.
9.75 GHz LNC:
10.00 GHz LNC:
Indication range -
of receiver:
When selecting the input frequency, take care that the set fre-
quency lies within the actual reception range of your LNC.
Adirect. frequency input is possible using the remote control
numeric buttons.
The frequency can be advanced upwards using the ɦbutton
in 10 MHz increments and moved down using the ɼbutton in
3 MHz increments.
You can tune the entire frequency range forward in "rapid
motion" and slower going backwards.
The frequency changes to 0.5 MHz increments with single
steps and corresponds to the finetuning.
Because the receiver only allows 4-place entries, the first
place is neither entered nor displayed.
Example:
ARD transmission frequency on Astra: 11494 MHz
Receiver input: 11494
ZDF transmission frequency on Astra: 10964 MHz
Receiver input: 11964
Enter the satellite transmission frequency. This requires the
correct selection of the oscillator frequency 9.75 or
10.00 GHz (refer to the section “Entering the LNC Oscillator
Frequency”).

weak or in case of signal distrubances.
Then press P/F again, correct the frequency in individual
increments until spikes are at a minimum, and store by pres-
sing MEMORY.
dEco – Decoder
dEEco (Decoder) is shown in the display. The ɼɦbuttons can be
used to switch the decoder to the signal path. You can choose
between "Auto" and "On".
Select "Auto" for decoders which deliver a switching voltage
for encoded transmissions, such as the case with the station
Premiere.
Select "On" for decoders without switching voltage evaluation.
The receiver is preset to "Auto".
Switch off the receiver.
With the AUDIO button depressed, switch off the receiver. The
current status appears in the display, for example, "External
audio" (video and audio signals are externally routed).
Keep the AUDIO depressed until the display changes to
»Internal audio« (only the video signal is externally routed).
On the EURO-AV decoder socket, either the video and audio
signal can be taken for decoding, or only the video signal if
the audio signal is not encoded.
AU I
AU E
nor 1 / nor 2 / nor 3 – norm
The preset mode point is shown in the display.
Using the ɼɦbuttons, the signal on the decoder´s pin 19 can
be switched between
nor 1 = clamped video signal,
nor 2 = base band with PAL deemphasis and
nor 3 = base band with linear deemphasis.
dEE – with sound 1
This mode point is only called up if, in the AUDIO Mode, you
have selected "Main sound, Mono, Sound 1"; you can then
switch between audio deemphasis between J 17 and 50 µ sec
with the ɼɦbuttions.
This mode point is not required for "Sound 2" and
"Sound 3".
HF – setting the modulator channel
"HHFF" is shown in the display.
Using the buttons ɼɦyou can select a HF channel between
C 25 and C 60 of the PLL modulator. Channels C 21 through
C 24 are not specified.
This receiver's special feature is parallel playback of VCR
recordings via the EURO-AV cable and the connected televisi-
on set while simultaneously allowing the SAT signal to be fed
by the receiver's modulator to a separate television set or to
an available house aerial system.

ATS – Automatic Tuning System
The automatic tuning system (ATS) is especially suited if you
use LNC´s with oscillator frequencies other than 9.75 or
10 GHz. It saves you lengthy conversion calculations.
The next receivable station in direction of increasing frequen-
cies will be searched and tuned to.
To use this function, first start the tuning function in the ATS
mode with the ɦbutton. The picture is optimally tuned when
the programme position number and the frequency flash in
the display.
Make a note of this station and its frequency.
Using the MEMORY button stores all signals with sufficient
qualtiy strength. This process automatically shifts the pro-
gramme positions by one position.
Restart ATS by pressing ɦ.
If the tuning function tunes to a signal which cannot be recei-
ved (D2 MAC or encoded signals), restart the search without
storing the signal by pressing ɦ.
This process continues until you arrive at the initial position
of the noted frequency. Do not store this programme position
as it was stored at the beginning of the procedure.
Now select the other polarization with the V/H button.
Call up ATS again with the MODE button and as described
above, restart the tuning function.
Note: the displayed frequency is different from the first one
and must be registered for the first time.
Restart the tuning function again until the new initial position
is reached.
The tuning function is continuous, which means that when it
reaches the highest frequency (2050 MHz), it automatically
starts again at 700 MHz.
Only carry out desired picture and sound corrections after
the ATS function is complete, and never during the course of
the function.
You can now easily set up the programme position sequence
as desired.
CodE – Child lock
You can protect your receiver against unauthorized use (child
lock).
Using the numeric buttons on the remote control, enter your
personal 4-place identification number, for example 2222.
Activate the programme lock with the Obutton.
"SSEETT" is shown in the display for approx. 3 seconds, followed
by the current programme position display.
The "lock" is activated after you switch the receiver off.
"CodE" appears when you next switch the receiver on, regard-
less of whether you switch it on with the mains power button
or out of stand by.
You are prompted to enter your personal identification num-
