Important Safety Notice
Do not expose the receiver to dripping or splashing
water.
Do not allow moisture on or in the receiver.
Do not obstruct the receiver's ventilation slots.
Keep the receiver away from excessive heat.
Heat build-up in the receiver is a source of danger and
reduces the receiver's operating life.
When operating the receiver in a wall unit (or in a camper,
for example), make sure there is a space of at least 10 cm
around it for air to circulate.
When not using your receiver for longer periods of time,
é.g., at night, switch it off with the power button.
You will save energy.
Even when switched off, the receiver may be damaged by
lightning striking the mains and/or aerial lead.
During a thunderstorm, you should always disconnect the
mains and aerial plugs.
Clean the casing and the remote control by means of a
soft cloth. Never use abrasive or chemical materials for
cleaning.
Attention!
Exhausted batteries from the remote control do
not belong in the household rubbish. They must be
disposed of at a special waste collecting point.
This operating manual is printed on chlorine-free
paper which helps to protect the environment.
The type plate is on the base of the receiver.

This adjustment can be omitted if you have connected
the receiver via a EURO-AV (Scart) connecting lead to the
television or video recorder.
Select a free channel position on your TV and tune to UHF
channel 37 (the receiver's output channel). For this, refer
to the instruction book of your TV.
If this channel is already being used by a TV channel or a
different unit (say, your video recorder), you will see
interference if the other equipment is operating. Retune
your TV to an unused part of its range close by (channel
number 32 to 42) and then with a small screwdriver
gently and slowly turn the small adjuster on the receiver
rear panel, next to the TV/VCR socket, until your televi-
sion displays a clear picture. Fine tune your TV for the
best picture and sound.
You will also have to tune in your VCR to the same UHF
channel in the same way in order to record satellite TV
programmes.
