This short instruction explains the most important functions to ensure that you can directly watch television and make recordings with
your new digital receiver. Please note, additional adjustments may be required.
Please read the general safety instructions carefully.
1.1. Connections
Note:
Do not connect the digital receiver to the main power yet.
1.1.1.Connection LNB (Low Noise Block) with the digital satellite receiver
The LNB on satellite antenna dish can be connected to
a digital receiver in different ways. One of the ways is to
connect the LNB, on the satellite dish, directly to a digital
receiver in the “LNB in” connector of the Tuner 1, by means
of a coaxial cable. Use a loop-through cable to make loop
through between Tuner1 and Tuner2
(see picture 4).
Note: In case of this configuration, user has to set “Loop
1->2” option in installation type of antenna settings (see
chapter 4.1.5 Antenna settings).
A second way is to use two different satellite dishes. One
LNB from the first satellite dish connect directly to the “LNB
in” connector of the Tuner 1 and second LNB, on the second
satellite dish, connect directly to the “LNB in” connector of
the Tuner 2 (see picture 4a).
Note:
In case of this configuration, user has to set “Dual” option
in installation type of antenna settings (see chapter 4.1.5
Antenna settings).
A third way is to use one antenna dish with one twin LNB,
which has two outputs. One output from the twin LNB
connect directly to the “LNB in” connector of the Tuner 1 and
second output from the same twin LNB, connect directly to
the “LNB in” connector of the Tuner 2 (see picture 4b).
Note:
In case of this configuration, user has to set “Dual” option
in installation type of antenna settings (see chapter 4.1.5
Antenna settings).

1.1.2. Connection to the TV set
The Digital receiver and TV set are
usually connected by means of a
SCART cable (supplied with unit).
Simply connect the two ends of the
cable with the main SCART socket
ontheTVsetandwith the TV SCART
socket on the receiver, respectively.
The SCART connection ensures
that audio and video signals are
transmitted to the TV set in optimum
quality.
In addition, connect your antenna,
for analogue TV reception, to the
“RF IN” on the modulator and use an
RF antenn (coaxial) cable to connect
the “RF OUT“ on the modulator with
the antenna input socket of the TV set. In this way, the terrestrial antenna connection is looped through the receiver to the TV set (see
picture 5). If the TV set is not equipped with a SCART socket, it is enough to connect an RF antenna (coaxial) cable as described.
The digital TV programme currently being received is converted in the receiver to a UHF channel (channel selectable via the installation
menu), and is transmitted to the TV set via the RF antenna cable.
In case that your TV set is equipped only with a
S-VIDEO input socket, you can use the S-Video output
on the digital receiver and connect your TV set via
cable to provide optimum quality of the video signal.
To provide an audio signal to the TV set it is necessary
to connect the Audio L/R output on the digital receiver
with audio input on your TV set. In addition, connect
your antenna, for analogue TV reception, to the “RF
IN” on the modulator and use an RF antenna (coaxial)
cable to connect the “RF OUT“ on the modulator with
the antenna input socket of the TV set.
(see picture 6)
In case your TV set is equipped only with a CVBS input
socket, you can use the CVBS output on the digital
receiver and connect your TV set via cable to provide
optimum quality of the video signal. To provide audio
signal to the TV set it is necessary to connect theAudio
L/R output on the digital receiver with the audio input on
your TV set. In addition, use an RF antenna (coaxial)
cable to connect the “RF OUT“ on the modulator with
the antenna input socket of the TV set. In this way, the
terrestrial antenna connection is looped through the
receiver to the TV set (see picture 7).

1.1.3. Connection to a DVD or video recorder
Just as the TV set, the DVD or video recorder is
connected to the receiver via a SCART connection.
Use the VCR SCART socket for this purpose (see
picture 8).
If you also have a video recorder connected to the
terrestrial antenna cable, this terrestrial antenna
connection should run first from the receiver to the
video recorder and only from there to the TV set.
As in a case the audio and video signals have to be
modulated for high-frequency transmission on a UHF
channel, signal quality is not as good compared to a
connection with a SCART cable.
1.1.4. Connection to a Hi-Fi system
The audio quality of digital TV and radio programmes can
be enjoyed even more when reproduced through a Hi-Fi
system. To do this, use a RCA cinch stereo cable to connect
the sockets marked Audio L/R on the receiver to one of the
inputs of your Hi-Fi system marked either Line, Aux, Spare
or Extra (see picture 9).
IfyourHi-Fisystemis equippedwithadigitalaudio input,,you
may use a digital RCA cinch cable to connect the electrical
(Coax) digital audio output of your receiver (socket DIGITAL
AUDIO COAX) to your Hi-Fi or Dolby Digital system. The
receiver is also equipped with an optical digital output. If
your Hi-Fi system is equipped with an optical audio input,
you may use an optical cable to connect your Hi-Fi system
to your digital receiver (see picture 10).

wall connector put the power switch, on the rear panel (17), in position 0.
1.3. Switching on your receiver
Switch the power switch, (17) on the rear panel, to the position “I”.
The satellite receiver is now switched on and starting (the message “Booting up” is shown on the display). This can take around 20
seconds. From now on, you can switch your receiver on or to standby using the “Standby” key on the remote control or on the front
panel of the receiver.
Note:
Behaviour of the receiver after switching on or power up depends on the “Power-up Mode” settings (see chapter 4.1.1.11 Power Up
Mode)
1.4. Starting the unit for the first time:
When you install your receiver for the first time or when you do a factory
