5.3 Installation
After first switching-on or after resetting the receivers, various windows
will open:
5.3.1 RASS
Your receiver is equipped with RASS (Receiver Automatic Sorting Sys-
tem).
Today, in the networks of the various cable operators, a large number of
television and radio channels in digital form can be received. When you
first install your CX71, RASS ensures that these big number of channels
are stored in the channel list on your receiver in a defined order.
Normally, during a channel scan incorrect data are not deleted (for exam-
ple, no longer fed channels), and new channels usually added just "be-
hind", so that you have to reprogram your channel list.
With RASS the channel list will always be up to date, even if new channels
are added or if there are other changes.

Basic Operation
20 smart CX71
RASS Works as Follows:
1. A RASS list is installed on the receiver already in the factory. This list is
processed during the initial installation after the search, i. e., the found
channels are stored in a predefined order.
2. Occasionally it happens that cable operators feed a new channel, or
remove any existing channels from their network. From this reason it is
important that the channel list is kept up to date. Therefore, your CX71
checks each time that you turn off your receiver (in standby mode), if
there is a RASS update. If not, the receiver is completely switched off
after a certain time, then he goes into the power saving mode (Deep
Standby).
3. However, if the receiver determines that a new RASS-update is availa-
ble, this will be loaded. Thereafter, the receiver will also turn off com-
pletely.
4. Next time you turn on the receiver, you will get a message: "RASS: It is
recommended to perform an automatic tuning". Then you have the
choice between
OK and Cancel .
−If you select
OK , the receiver makes a complete cable-scan and the
channels get re-sorted using the new RASS list.
−If you select
Cancel , the receiver is started normally, no scanning is
done and the above message will even not appear during the next
turning on. You can always achieve a re-sorting of the channels
based on the current RASS list by starting manually a full scan.
5.3.2 Welcome
The default Language (Sprache)
of the smart CX71 is
Deutsch. The
default Country (Land) is
Deutschland.
Ensure that the entries are correct; you may change the values, if re-
quired.
Using the keys PR+ and PR, go to the key Start search and press OK
to start automatic channel search.
