1 General information
1.1 Package contents
• PRS 1080 CI with 80 Gbyte hard disk
• SAT mouse (infrared receiver)
• Remote control incl. 2 batteries (2 x 1.5 V, Mignon, e.g. UM-3 or AA)
• Euro-AV cable (scart cable)

• Operating instructions
1.2 Accessories for satellite receivers
You can find out more about the extensive GSS range of accessories for satellite receiv-
ing devices at your specialist dealer or at the website of
Grundig SAT Systems GmbH: http://www.gss.tv.
1.3 Digital satellite reception
To use this device you need a satellite receiving device that must be prepared for receiv-
ing digital signals. Unlike analogue satellite broadcasting, digital TV or radio channels
are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, several TV and/or radio channels
are transmitted by a single transponder using the same frequency.
To help you with the choice and settings for satellite stations, a selection of TV and radio
stations have already been programmed for this device. You can use the channel search
to find new satellite channels that are not yet in the channel list of your device.
You can also compile your favourite channels and store them in four separate channel
lists.
1.4 Special features of your digital recorder
This digital recorder can receive and record free satellite channels as well as certain
encoded digital satellite channels via common interface.
To ensure that your digital recorder always uses the latest software, we recommend that
you update the operating software (see page 38).
The electronic programme guide provides an overview of all the stations‘ programmes
for the next few hours. You can call up detailed information on each TV programme at
the touch of a button.
This digital recorder has a comprehensive, easy-to-use menu system. It is displayed on
the television screen and the functions of the remote control buttons are explained. In
addition to the receiver unit, the digital recorder also has a hard disk with a capacity
of 80 Gbyte.
The technology used enables the simultaneous recording of a SAT programme and play-
back of a recorded programme. This procedure is used for the time shift (time-delayed
television).

1.5 The common interface
Common interface (CI) is the interface for DVB receivers (digital recorders, set top boxes
etc.) for decoding encoded channels. The smart card required for decoding is available
at the broadcasting station. This device has a common interface (CI) slot for this smart
card and the corresponding CI module.
2 Set-up and safety
• This digital recorder set is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
• When setting up the device, make sure the mains socket is easily accessible.
• If the digital recorder is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example when
brought in from the cold to a warm room, let it stand for at least two hours before you
connect it to the mains supply.
• Do not expose the digital recorder to any moisture. The digital recorder is designed
for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, please ensure that it is protected from
moisture, such as rain or splashing water.
• Make sure that the digital recorder is ventilated adequately.
• Do not use the device close to heating units or in direct sunlight.
• Place the device on a flat, solid surface for use.
• If placed in a cabinet, make sure there is a minimum space of approx. 10 cm
around it!
• Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off,
it can be damaged by a stroke of lightning to the mains or the antenna cable. There-
fore always disconnect the device from the mains and from the antenna unit during a
thunderstorm.
• Never open the device under any circumstances. No liability is accepted for any dam-
age caused by incorrect handling.
Environmental note
