Installation and Safety Precautions
Contents
ķ2
This satellite receiver is intended for reception of picture and
sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.
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 re-
duces the receiver´s operating life.
When operating the receiver in a wall unit (or in a camper, for
example), maintain distances of at least 10 cm – see
illustration.
Even when switched off, the unit may be damaged by light-
nings striking the mains and/or aerial lead.
During a thunderstorm, you should always disconnect the
mains and aerial plugs.

Important Information
General
We assume for the description of the functions that the aerial
has been properly installed and that the receiver has been
correctly connected.
Connecting the SAT receiver to the
television set / video recorder
At first, the receiver must be adapted to the oscillator fre-
quency of the aerial system used.
The receiver is factory-preset to a value of 9.75 GHz.
To change the setting to 10 GHz, switch on the receiver with
the V/H button pressed down (display indication "9.75"), use
the >button to select 10 GHz (indication "10.00"), and store
the setting with the MEMORY button.
Connect the TV set and the video recorder via a EURO-AV
cable to the corresponding EURO-AV sockets (TV: socket ´`,
video recorder: socket ´W) at the back of the receiver.
If your TV set should not possess a EURO-AV socket, it can
be connected to the modulator ßUof the SAT receiver. In this
case, switch the modulator to reception unit A (see section
"Mode Functions / SAt A/b").
The modulator output is preset to channel 36. If this channel
should already be occupied by your video recorder or a local
TV station, it is possible to change the channel (see section
"Mode Functions / Setting the modulator channel"). The TV
set must be set to the same channel.
Optimum aerial adjustment
It is possible to measure a control voltage by means of a
simple voltmeter at the sockets ´E (AGC / GND) at the back
of the receiver. Adjust the altitude and azimuth angles so that
a maximum voltage is obtained at the sockets ßU.
Optimum picture adjustment
The Low Noise Converter (LNC), i.e. the electronic compo-
nent in the focus of the parabolic aerial, may have a frequen-
cy difference of +/- 3 MHz according to its specification.
To compensate for this offset, the receiver is provided with an
automatic frequency control (AFC). If the picture should not
immediately lock in place and stabilize when changing the pro-
gramme position, correct the setting as follows:
Press down the P/F button until the 4-digit frequency
indication appears (the last 4 digits of the 5-digit fre-
quency value are indicated, the first digit is always "1").
Change the frequency step by step with the <> buttons
until the picture is exactly displayed then store the setting
with the MEMORY button.
In most cases, one step will suffice for this adjustment
(short pressure on the button).
The above procedure must only be carried out in a few cases
and, if so, only once per programme position to assure an
optimum picture quality.
Operation with a decoder
The reception unit B has priority for a connected decoder.
After having made a video recording, always switch back the
reception unit B to a non-encoded programme position so
that the decoder is available again for the reception unit A.

ķ11
Using the decoder socket as second VCR socket
The decoder socket can also be used as second video recor-
der socket if no decoder is connected to it. For this, change
the programming of the decoder socket as follows:
Press down the A/B button while switching the receiver on.
The display indicates "dEco" (decoder). Keep pressed the A/B
button until "Vcr" (video recorder) is indicated. The decoder
socket now is allocated to the reception unit A.
When now switching a video recorder connected to the deco-
der socket to playback, the signal will automatically be pas-
sed to the TV socket (TV set).
The special functions of the decoder socket in decoder mode
are described in the sections "dEco" and "norm" in the chapter
"Mode Functions".
Note
The receiver is already preset for all current programmes
broadcast by a number of satellites.
See enclosed pages: "Table of the Preprogrammed Satellite
Stations".
If you wish to change the order of the stations on the pro-
gramme positions, this can easily be done.
You will find the information required for this in the sections
about the Mode functions COPY and Sort.
Only the reception unit A can be programmed. The cor-
responding programme positions of reception unit B are
automatically programmed with the same settings and stored
in memory.
If necessary (for example with a very weak signal), you can
individually correct the fine tuning of the reception unit B.
Protect your environment!
Attention!
Do not throw used batteries from the remote control handset
in the household waste. Dispose of the batteries at a special
collecting point.
These operating instructions are printed on chlorine-free
paper which helps to protect the environment.
For reasons of ecology, always switch off the receiver with its
mains switch when it is not used for a longer time.
Always keep in mind: Even with the low standby power con-
sumption of 10 W, you will consume 70 kWh within one year.
Important Information

ķ12
After switching on with the mains button 6, the receiver au-
tomatically switches to the last selected programme position
(Last Station Memory).
Use the ɼɦ buttons, the numeric buttons, or the programme
buttons ]|on the remote control handset to select the
desired programme positions.
The display indicates the current programme position of the
selected reception unit. The programme position number and
the station name are also briefly displayed on the picture
screen of the TV set.
Example:
At the left, the programme position selected on reception unit
A ("TV") is indicated, and at the right that of the reception unit
B ("VCR").
The indication "TV" means that a TV programme is being
received, "RADIO" means that the programme position is set
to a radio programme.
Switching on from standby is done with the ɼɦ buttons or
with the numeric buttons on the remote control handset.
When using the programme buttons ]|on the remote
control handset, the receiver is switched on with the last se-
lected programme position (Last Station Memory).
Selecting programme / frequency
Use the P/F button to switch between programme position
and frequency entry mode.
In programme mode, the display indicates the programme
positions P1 to P199, in frequency mode it indicates 700 to
2050 MHz.
The actual reception range of the receiver depends on the
LNC used.
9.75 GHz LNC:
10.00 GHz LNC:
Indication range
of the receiver:
When selecting the input frequency, make sure that the set
frequency lies within the actual reception range of the LNC.
(10)700 MHz (1)1800 MHz
(10)910 MHz (1)2050 MHz
(10)700 MHz (1)2050 MHz
Attention: Cancel the button blocking (see page 3) In the frequency mode, a direct frequency entry is possible
with the numeric buttons on the remote control handset.
For this, the reception unit A should be selected. The indica-
tion A lights up in the display. The corresponding programme
position of reception unit B is automatically programmed.
It is possible to increase the frequency in 10 MHz steps with
the ɦbutton, and to decrease it in 3 MHz steps with the
ɼbutton.
In this way, you can scan the entire frequency range at high
speed in forward or reverse direction.
When performing single steps, these are reduced to 0.5 MHz
appropriate for finetuning.
As the receiver accepts only 4-digit entries, the first digit of
the transmission frequency is neither to be entered nor is it
indicated.
Examples:
Transmision frequency of ARD on Astra: 11494 MHz
Entry on receiver: 11494
Transmission frequency of ZDF on Astra: 10964 MHz
Entry on receiver: 1964
Enter the satellite transmission frequency. This requires the
correct selection of the oscillator frequency (see section
"Important Information /Connecting the SAT receiver to
the television set/video recorder") of 9.75 and
10.00 GHz, respectively.
For LNCs with an oscillator frequency other than 9.75 or
10 GHz, it is necessary to select 10 GHz. In this case, the pro-
gramme frequency to set does not agree with the satellite's
transmission frequency. Determine the correct frequency to
set by subtracting the LNC frequency from the satellite's
transmission frequency.
Examples:
Transmision frequency of ARD on Astra:
11494 MHz
LNC frequency: –19665 MHz
Frequency to set: = 1829 MHz
Transm. frequ. of PRO 7 on Kopernikus : 12559 MHz
LNC frequency: –11475 MHz
Frequency to set: = 1084 MHz
If necessary (e.g. when the signal is very weak), it is possible
to individually correct the finetuning of the reception unit B.
Select the reception unit B with the A/B button and correct the
set frequency.
Note!
Each later frequency change of a programme position on
reception unit A means that the correction of the same pro-
gramme position on reception unit B is cancelled.

Receiver Buttons and Functions
Selecting vertical / horizontal polarization
Press the V/H button to indicate the polarization in the dis-
play, for example:
With the ɼɦbuttons, you can select between V1, H1, V2,
and H2.
The LNC voltage supply is 14 V for "Vertical" and 18 V for
"Horizontal". With V2 and H2, a switching frequency of 22 kHz
is superimposed on the 14/18 V LNC voltage.
This can be used, for example, for the control of an aerial
switching relay for connecting a further LNC or aerial.
Selecting reception unit A/B
The A/B button is used to switch the display and the Euro-AV
TV socket to the other reception unit. The A/B LED indicates
the selected reception unit. The 4-digit display indicates the
programme position selected on the reception unit.
Setting buttons ɼɦ up and down
The programme position number is selected in programme
mode with the ɼɦ buttons.
For SAT reception, the display indicates the programme posi-
tions P1 ... P199, and for radio reception P1 ... P99.
The OSD (On Screen Display) on the TV picture screen indi-
cates for approx. 3 seconds the programme position number
and its station name for the reception unit A or B.
In the other modes, the ɼɦ buttons ar used for changing the
entered data.
Keeping pressed one of these buttons causes the data to be
scrolled at high speed.
Pressing the ɼɦ buttons with the receiver switched to stand-
by will switch to the last selected SAT programme position
(Last Station Memory).
Memory
Pressing the MEMORY button stores all previously set data
into memory.
Audio
Press the AUDIO button to display the current audio mode,
for example:
Repeatedly pressing the AUDIO button switches to:
ton 1 = Main carrier, mono wide,
e.g. 6.5; 6.6; 6.65 MHz
ton 2 = Subcarrier, mono narrow,
e.g. 7.02 MHz
ton 3 = Panda carrier*, stereo,
e.g. 7.02/7.20 MHz
Pressing one of the ɼɦ buttons indicates the sound carrier
in the display, for example:
It is possible to change the frequency with these buttons in
10 kHz steps from 5.00 MHz to 9.77 MHz.
Keeping pressed one of the ɼɦ buttons causes the frequen-
cy values to scroll at high speed.
The frequency can directly be entered with the numeric but-
tons of the remote control handset. Tuning takes place after
having entered the third digit.

Selecting radio mode
The RADIO button is used to switch from the SAT-TV to the
SAT/radio mode and back again. The receiver selects auto-
matically the last used programme position (Last Station
Memory).
In radio mode, the picture screen remains dark and an on-
screen display is visible, for example:
This on-screen display means:
Reception unit A: Radio programme, programme position 1,
Deutsche Welle 1;
Reception unit B: TV programme, programme position 5, NTV
In the display of the receiver appear "r" for radio and the num-
ber of the selected programme position.
To take advantage of the optimum sound quality, it is recom-
mended to connect the receiver to a hifi system. In any case,
you should check the picture quality and correct it if neces-
sary even when being in the radio mode.
To do this, press the P/F button until the frequency is indica-
ted. Then optimize the picture with the ɼɦ buttons and store

narrow bandwidth "IIII" with the ɼɦbuttons.
When this is done, press the P/F button and use the ɼɦbut-
tons to correct the frequency in single steps for minimum
spikes, then store the setting with the MEMORY button.
Hub – Setting the video contrast
The frequency-modulated satellite signals are broadcast with
different deviations (Hub). To ensure an optimum picture, the
receiver must be set accordingly.
Press the VIDEO button. The display indicates the video
deviation (h for Hub) and the video polarity, for example:
With the ɼɦ buttons, it is possible to select between the fol-
lowing video deviations:
h1 = 25 MHz, h2 = 22.5 MHz, and h3 = 16 MHz (e.g. Astra)
as well as h -1, h -2, and h -3.
For the reception of the C and S band with 4 GHz respectively
2,5 GHz LNCs, an inverted video signal is required. Therefore
the setting h -1 ... h -3 must be selected in this case.
dEco – Decoder
The display indicates "dEEco" (Decoder).
With the ɼɦ buttons, you can select beween the settings
"Auto", "On AV" or "On V".
"Auto"matic: Select this setting for decoders which are auto-
matically switched on by an internal switching voltage if an
encoded broadcast is received (e.g. Première).
"On AV" (Audio/Video): Select this setting for broadcasts with
encoded video and audio signal and where the decoder is not
automatically switched on.
"On V" (Video): Select this setting if only the video signal is
encoded and the decoder is not automatically switched on.

HF – Setting the modulator channel
The display indicates "HHFF".
With the ɼɦbuttons, you can select an HF channel between
C 25 and C 60 of the PLL modulator. The channels C 21 to
C 24 are not specified.
SAt A/b – Allocating the Cinch audio output
and the modulator
It is possible to pass the sound signals to a hifi system via the
sockets ´? at the back of the receiver. At the factory, these
sockets and the modulator are allocated to reception unit A.
Using the ɦbutton, they can be allocated to reception unit B.
The display then will indicate "SAt b"
ATS – Automatic tuning system
The automatic tuning system (ATS) is especially useful if you
use LNCs with oscillator frequencies other than 9.75 or
10 GHz. It avoids the need of complex conversions.
The system searches in the direction of increasing frequen-
cies for the next receivable station and tunes to it.
Start the AATTSSmode with the ɦbutton. The picture is optimally
tuned to if the programme position number and the frequency
indication flash alternately in the display.
Please note down the station name and the frequency.
Press the MEMORY button to store every station which has a
good reception quality. This will automatically switch to the next
programme position.
Press the ɦbutton to restart the AATTSSfunction.
If the tuning system finds a signal which is not worthy of
reception (e.g. D2 MAC or encoded signals), start the tuning
system again without storing by pressing the ɦbutton.
The station is not stored in memory.
This will be continued beyond the frequency range limit
(2050 MHz) until the system arrives again at the starting
point with the frequency that you have noted down. Do not
store this programme position as this has already been done.
MODE Functions Step-by-step selection with the MODE button
nor ... – Norm
With the norm function, it is possible to set the norm of the
output signal (Pin 19) of the decoder socket and to allocate
the decoder socket to the reception unit A or B.
Norm 1: PAL signal from reception unit A.
Norm 2: Baseband with non-clamped PAL deemphasis from
reception unit A or B.
Norm 3: Baseband with non-clamped linear deemphasis
from reception unit A or B.
Norm 4: PAL signal from reception unit A or B.
Note:
As your twin receiver has two separate reception units but
only one decoder socket, the reception unit B has priority for
the decoder with the norm settings 2/3/4. As long as the
decoder is to decode only one programme (e.g. Première),
this is without importance. However, if Première should
encode a second programme according to the same system,
the reception unit B (video recorder) has automatically priori-
ty if both reception units happen to be set to programmes
using the same encoding system (a number of english trans-
mitters operate with the Videocrypt encoding system). Refer
also to the hints given in chapter "Important Information".
Attention!
After having recorded an encoded programme via the recep-
tion unit B you should always select a non-encoded pro-
gramme position. The decoder then is available again for the
reception unit A (reception unit B has priority if a decoder is
connected).
dEE – Audio deemphasis
The display indicates "dEE".
The deemphasis function can only be selected if you have
selected "Main carrier, Mono, ton 1" in the AUDIO mode. If
this is the case, you can select between the audio deem-
phasis J 17 and 50 µs with the ɼɦbuttons.
For the settings "ton 2" and "ton 3", this function is not re-
quired and therefore not indicated.

The receiver remains in standby until the correct number is
entered. Entering the correct number unlocks the receiver
and switches it to the last selected programme position.
The lock nevertheless remains active, which means that
the lock is activated again the next time you switch the
receiver off.
Clearing the programme lock
Select the mode point "CodE",
and enter the correct identification number (2578) – visible in
the display – and delete it by pressing the Obutton.
The following appears in the display for approx. 3 seconds:
The receiver is unlocked and switches to the current pro-
gramme position.
Do not forget your personal identification number!
If you should forget your personal identification number, the
key Éon the last page (cover) will help you. You can use this
key combination to delete the number, thus allowing you to
put the receiver into operation again.
Now select the other polarization with the V/H button.
Call up the AATTSSfunction with the MODE button and restart
the tuning system as already described.
Please note that the starting frequency differs from the first
one and must be noted down anew.
Restart the tuning system as already desribed until you arrive
again at the new starting point.
The automatic tuning system function is endless. After having
reached the upper limit frequency (2050 MHz), it is restarted
at the bottom limit frequency of 700 MHz.
Carry out eventually required picture and sound corrections
such as, for example, settings of the sound carrier and mono/
stereo selection, only then and not during the ATS tuning
function.
You can easily change the order of the stations on the pro-
gramme positions according to your personal requirements
by using the Sort mode.
CodE – Child lock
You can protect your recorder against unauthorized use
(child lock).
Using the numeric buttons on the remote control, enter your
personal 4-place identification number, for example 2578.
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 from standby.
You are prompted to enter your personal identification num-
ber. Your inputs cannot be seen in the display (hidden entry).
