5Basic Operation
This chapter describes the required steps to be
able to use the offer of radio and TV channels
provided via wide-band cable2F
3.
5.1 First Comissioning
5.1.1 Switch 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).
3. Ensure that the correct audio input is
selected at the connected home cinema or
hi-fi system.
4. Switch on the receiver by using the power
switch (on the rear panel of housing) (I,
ON).
5.1.2 Upgrade of the Receiver Software
The operation software of your receiver will be
updated via the USB port.
3The radio and TV programs available via wide-band
cable depend on your respective cable network
provider.

Basic Operation
11
1. Search for the upgrade file on the internet
page which is mentioned on the extension
page (menu item service) and save it to a
USB data storage.
2. Unpack the file with the ending .abs and
copy it to the USB data storage.

Please note that the upgrade file
(*.abs) is copied directly to the root
directory of the USB data storage
(no subdirectory)!
3. Connect the data storage to your receiver.
4. In the menu
Tools , select the submenu
Upgrade by USB and press the OK key.
5. At
Upgrade Mode , select the upgrade
mode
All code by using the keys
and .
6. At
Upgrade File , select the file copied in
step 2.
7. Select the
Start button and confirm by
pressing OK.
The message on the right will be displayed.
The upgrade will be performed after selecting
Yes by using the keys / and
pressing OK. Then, the receiver will automati-
cally perform new start.
5.1.3 Welcome
After first switching-on or after resetting the
receivers, various windows will open:
The default
Language (Sprache) is
Deutsch. The default Country (Land) is
Deutschland.
Ensure that the entries are correct; you
may change the values, if required.
5.1.3.1 Deutschland - Germany
If you keep
Deutschland your channel list is
sorted and also updated during subsequent
operation using RASS.
5.1.3.1.1 RASS
Your receiver is equipped with RASS (Receiver
Automatic Sorting System).
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 receiver, 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 example, no longer fed
channels), and new channels usually added
just "behind", 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.
5.1.3.1.2 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.

Basic Operation
12
2. Occasionally it happens that cable opera-
tors feed a new channel, or remove any ex-
isting channels from their network. From
this reason it is important that the channel
list is kept up to date. Therefore, your re-
ceiver checks each time that you turn off
your receiver (in standby mode), if there is
a RASS update. If not, the receiver is com-
pletely 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 available, this will be
loaded. Thereafter, the receiver will also
turn off completely.
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.
5.1.3.2 Denmark, Sweden or Norway
If you select the countries Denmark, Sweden or
Norway, Max NorDig, a special kind of LCN
will be used during creation and updating your
channel list. LCN is an acronym for "Logical
Channel Numbering", which means that a
channel list given by the cable TV provider can
automatically be loaded into the receiver (and
therefore be updated at any time).
5.1.3.3 All Other Countries
For all other countries there is no special sort-
ing of the channel list. In case of a new channel
assignment it’s recommended to perform a
new channel search (section 9.1.1, page 27).
5.1.4 Auto Scan
Using the keys PR+ and PR, go to the
button
Start and press OK to start auto-
matic channel search.
The second window of the installation process
displays the automatic channel search. The TV
cable is scanned for any available channels.
Such search then creates the channel lists
TV
Channel
and Radio Channel .
1. After end of search, please confirm the
corresponding message by pressing OK.
2. Leave the menu by pressing the EXIT key
until the screen shows the TV picture.

The menu item Auto
search
can always be accessed via the
menu Installation .
5.2 Select Operation Mode
