WARNING
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for
your mains socket-outlet, DO NOT plug it in.
Remove its fuse and then cut the plug o the

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.

GETTING STARTED
INSERTING YOUR REMOTE
CONTROL’S BATTERIES
Insert the two batteries into your remote control.
Make sure you insert them the correct way round,
as shown by the +and –symbols in the battery
compartment.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN YOUR
REMOTE CONTROL
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Please dispose of batteries in an
environmentally-friendly way.
•Used alkaline batteries must never be thrown
into a re.
SWITCHING ON YOUR SETTOP
BOX
When you have connected your set-top box to
the mains supply, its indicator light, just below the
Standby button (S), will light up.
If your set-top box is in standby, the light will be red;
if your set-top box is out of standby, the light will
be blue.
If the indicator light is red, switch on your TV, then

your set-top box.
Whenever you are not using your set-top box, you
should put it into standby by pressing the Standby
button (S).
SWITCHON CHANNEL SETTING
The factory setting for your set-top box is for it to
always tune to the last-viewed channel when you
bring it out of standby. You can change this setting,
so that your set-top box tunes to a specic channel
instead (see page 31).

10
YOUR SETTOP BOX TOMORROW
Your set-top box comes with the latest digital TV
technology. To keep up with new technology,
new features may be developed which may then
be transmitted to your set-top box as software
updates.
For more information, see page 33.
SETTING UP YOUR SETTOP BOX

GETTING STARTED
RESOLUTION SETTINGS SCREEN
On this screen, you set up your set-top box to match
your HDTV with regard to resolution (how crisp
and clear the picture appears). Generally, higher
resolution settings give better quality pictures.
However, the quality will also always depend on
how the programme was originally transmitted.
YPbPr video
If your HDTV is connected to your set-top box by
component video (YPbPr) leads, use the LR
buttons to set YPbPr video to “On”. Otherwise,
change this setting to “O”.
NOTE: When YPbPr video is set to “On”, CVBS
video is automatically output at your set-top
box’s SCART connector.
Auto zoom
(This feature is not yet enabled.)
HD resolution
You can also choose the method that your set-top
box uses to handle dierent video resolutions. Use
the UDbuttons to highlight the HD resolution
setting. The available settings are.
• Original – your set-top box will always output
the same resolution as the original video input,
with one exception: an input resolution of 576i
becomes 576p at the output.
•Standard – your set-top box will always output
720p, regardless of the input video resolution.
• User-dened – in this case, you can choose
the resolution (576p, 720p or 1080i) that will be
output to your HDTV, regardless of the input
resolution.
Use the LRbuttons to display the setting you
want.
If you need to go back to the previous screen, press
EXIT. Or, press OK to continue.

12
RECEPTION SCREEN
On this screen you must select the method
you have used to connect your set-top box to
your satellite dish(es), and select the associated

rates, rst use the U D buttons to highlight the
one you want to edit. Then use the L R buttons to
underline each digit, and the number buttons to
enter digits.
To change a highlighted Polarisation, use the
L R buttons until the polarisation you want is
displayed.
To start the scan, using the values you have entered,
press the OK button.
