
If your TV set offers both possi-
bilities then always choose con-
nection via HDMI cable.
This ensures best possible au-
dio and video quality with digital
signals.
4.4 Connecting a Home Cinema Sys-
tem
To improve audio playback, you can connect
to the receiver - additionally to the TV set - also
a multichannel home cinema system or a hi-fi
system. There are various possibilities for
connection. Your type of connection depends
on the connection possibilities of your home
cinema system.
a.
Your home cinema system is able to loop
through an HDMI signal, i.e. HDMI con-
nection for receiver and HDMI connection
for TV set.
Connect the home cinema system and
the receiver by using an HDMI cable as
well as home cinema system and TV set
by using an HDMI cable.
b.
Your home cinema system can process
digital audio data – connection for digital
data is present.
Connect the home cinema system and
the receiver by using a RCA cable.
c.
Your home cinema system cannot pro-
cess digital audio data –
no connections
for digital data present
Connect the home cinema system and
the receiver by using a 2-pole RCA cable
(stereo).

If your home cinema system (hi-
fi system) supports HDMI con-
nection, then use such connec-
tion.
This ensures best possible au-
dio and video quality with digital
signals.
4.5 Connecting Data Storage
Connect a data storage (USB stick or hard
drive with USB connection) at the USB
connector to be able to access MPEG,
MP3, JPG or other media data files.
4.6 Connecting a Home Network
In order to connect the receiver to the
internet (www) or to a home network, con-
nect the receiver’s ETHERNET socket with
a network cable to the appropriate inter-
face of your home network.

See section 8.1.1.1 on page 25
to learn how to configure a
wired LAN.
4.7 Inserting the Batteries of the RCU
This is the procedure to insert new RCU
batteries or to replace empty batteries:
Open the battery cover at the bottom of
the RCU.
Insert two batteries 1.5 V (Type: AAA). Take
care of the right polarity!

Basic Operation


Replace batteries when the
range of the remote control is
decreasing or when the receiver
no longer reacts to all com-
mands.
When not used for prolonged
periods of time, batteries may
leak. Remove batteries from the
remote control if it is not used
for long periods of time (> 1.5
years).
When replacing batteries, al-
ways replace all batteries.
5Basic Operation
This chapter describes the necessary steps to
use easily the radio and television programs
broadcasted via satellite.
5.1 Switching on Receiver
1. Switch on all connected devices.
2. Ensure that the correct AV input is selected
at the TV set (i.e. that the signals from the
receiver are displayed).

5.2 Software Update

Once you have put your re-
ceiver into
operation, you
should first update the operat-
ing software of your receiver!
5.2.1 Update via USB
If you have Internet access, you should update
your receiver via the USB interface.
3Depends on your receiver type.
1. Search for the upgrade file on the internet
page www.avanit.tv (menu item Support).
2. If the version number of the update file
matches with the version number of the
software of the receiver, which is displayed
in the submenu Information of the menu
Tools, you do not need to do anything
else. Your receiver is up to date. Otherwise
continue with step 3.
3. Save the update file to a USB data storage.
4. Unpack the file with the ending .abs.

Please note that the upgrade file
(*.abs) is copied directly to the root
directory of the USB data storage
(no subdirectory)!
5. Connect the data storage to your receiver.
6. In the menu Tools, select the sub-menu
Upgrade by USB and press the OK key.
7. At Upgrade Mode, select the upgrade
mode Allcode by using the keys und
.
8. At Upgrade File, select the file copied in
step 2.
9. Select the Start button and confirm by
pressing OK.
A message saying that you will lose all per-
sonal settings will be displayed.
The upgrade will be performed after selecting
Yes by using the keys und and
pressing OK. Then, the receiver will automati-
cally perform new start.
5.2.2 Software Update via Satellite

ter end of installation you will be asked if
the update should be saved.
4. Select the option

System Setup .
5.4.1 RAPS Start
Your receiver is equipped with RAPS. RAPS
means Receiver Automatic Programming
System. RAPS can automatically update the
channel lists of your receiver.
What is RAPS?
Currently, the satellites Astra 19.2° and 23.5°,
Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East, Eurobird 9° and
Turksat 42° offer a four-digit number of digital
TV and radio channels.
At delivery, state-of-the-art satellite receivers
have all important channels already stored. But
what happens after that? New and interesting
channels are added almost weekly, and there
are channel changes time and again.
Updating the channel list with a present re-
ceiver is not quite easy for most users. When
performing a channel search, invalid data are
not deleted, and usually the new channels are
just added at the end of the list; this requires
time-consuming reprogramming of the channel
list.
The RAPS system of your receiver automatical-
ly performs such programming work.
The window RAPS Automatic Installation is
the second window of the installation process.
Every time you switch off your receiver, RAPS
checks whether there are any changes with the
channel lists (RAPS scan). This only takes a
few seconds.
In case of changes, the new data are automat-
ically included into the new channel list (RAPS
download) and displayed in a table. If a chan-
