Please follow the instructions in this manual carefully to enjoy all the advantages of high-denition
(HD) digital television. We advise following the user instructions and recommendations supplied
with your set-top box, especially for rst-time use.
Your set-top box fully complies with international DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standards.
In order to view programmes broadcast in high-denition, you must connect your set-top box
to a suitable HDTV or computer monitor. (This is why the menus and screens sometimes refer to
an HD device.) Your set-top box is also compatible with standard-denition televisions and VCRs
equipped with a SCART connector.
RECOMMENDATIONS
STORAGE
If your set-top box is not used directly after
purchase, it can be stored in its original packaging,
in a cool dry place, at a temperature between –25 °C
and +55 °C. Before use, wait until your set-top box
has reached room temperature.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, always disconnect the mains
power from your set-top box and disconnect the
LNB input. To clean your set-top box, dust with
either a clean dry cloth, or one that has been
slightly dampened with distilled water. Never use
detergents of any kind.

IMPORTANT
USING EQUIPMENT SAFELY
Your set-top box has been manufactured to meet
international safety standards, but you must take
care to operate it safely.
It is important that you read these safety
instructions.
WARNING: Remember that contact with AC
mains can be lethal or can cause severe electric
shock. To avoid the risk of electric shock:
Never remove the top cover from your set-top
box as there are high-voltage live parts inside.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside your
set-top box.
On the rear panel of your set-top box there is a
tamper-evident label that states ‘Warranty void
if broken or removed’.
Make sure all electrical connections are properly
made.
Do not connect any equipment to the mains
supply until you have properly connected all
the other leads.
Disconnect your set-top box from the mains
supply (by disconnecting its mains lead from
the mains socket on the wall) before you
disconnect any other equipment from its rear
panel.
Never push anything into holes, slots or other
openings in the case (except a CI module
into the slot provided, and only when you are
requested to do so).
CAUTION:
Do not use or store your set-top box in hot,
cold, damp or dusty places.
Do not block the ventilation holes of your
set-top box. Leave a gap of at least 5 cm above
and around it to allow for adequate ventilation.
Never stand it on soft furnishings.
Do not put anything on your set-top box which
might drip or spill into it. Never stand objects
lled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your
set-top box.
Do not place your set-top box in an
unventilated cabinet or on top of a unit which
emits heat (e.g. a VCR).
Never place naked ame sources, such as
lighted candles, on top of your set-top box.
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY
•Your set-top box operates with a 230V AC, 50Hz
mains supply.
•Do not connect your set-top box to any supply
other than this.
•The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector
at one end and a mains plug at the other. You
should always insert the 2-way connector into
your set-top box before you insert the plug into
the mains supply.
•The only way to disconnect your set-top box
from the mains is to remove the mains lead.
Your set-top box must therefore be installed
near to the mains socket-outlet, which should
be easily accessible.
•If you are in any doubt about the mains lead,
its plug or its connection, consult a competent
electrician.
•Please follow the instructions in the following
sections, which guide you through connecting
and setting it up.
•See also pages 14 and 15, which describe your
set-top box’s remote control.
