1.0 INSTRUCTION
1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:
n In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any another equipment; on a
surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots
DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
n To direct sunlight or near any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense moisture;
to intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage to your receiver or to
any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.
n Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Do not touch a
power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
n Never open the cover. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver due to high voltage
currents and possible electrical hazards. Your warranty will be void if the receiver has been opened.
n When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power cord from
the wall socket.
n Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If you wish, you may clean
your receiver with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution, only after
disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through the
ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an electric shock.
n Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper cooling of the
components inside.
Safety Precautions
n Do not open the receiver cover, as you will be exposed to a shock hazard. It will also void your
warranty. Refer all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualified personnel
n When you are connecting the cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the mains
supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching off the receiver before you move the receiver
or disconnect any equipment.
n It is a necessity that you only use an approved extension and compatible wiring that is suitable for
the electrical power consumption of the installed equipment. Please ensure that the electrical power
supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical identification plate at the back of the receiver.
If the receiver does not operate normal even after strictly following the instructions of this user manual, it
is recommended to consult your dealer.
1.2 Storage
Your receiver and its accessories are stored and delivered in a packaging, protected against electric
damage and moisture. When unpacking, make sure all parts are included. Keep packaging away from
children. For transportation from one place to another or if you are returning the receiver under warranty
make sure it is repacked in its original packaging with all accessories. Failing to comply with such
packaging procedures could void your warranty.

2.1 Connecting to Terrestrial Antenna
Fig. 1
To receive the broadcast signal, the terrestrial antenna cable should be connected to the ANT IN
connector at the back of the receiver.
2.2 Connecting to TV and VCR with SCART cable
Fig. 1
The TV set should be connected with the receiver through a SCART cable. This terrestrial receiver may
also be operated together with a VCR using the loop through function. The loop-through function of this
terrestrial receiver is active when the receiver is in Stand-By Mode. As soon as the VCR is turned on, its
video and audio signals are looped through the terrestrial receiver.
Optional 1: using coaxial cable, connect TO TV output of the receiver to terrestrial input of your TV set.
This will allow you to watch digital programs from your receiver on an analogue TV set.
Optional 2: using coaxial cable, connect TO TV output of the receiver to terrestrial input of your VCR and
terrestrial output of VCR to terrestrial input of your TV set. This will allow you to record the
digital program you are watching.
Optional 3: using coaxial cable, connect TO TV output of the receiver to aerial input of your VCR and
terrestrial output of VCR to terrestrial input of your TV set. Using a short loop coaxial cable,
connect LOOP OUT output to LOOP IN input at the back of your receiver. This allows you to
watch and record analogue and digital terrestrial programs on your VCR.
2.3 Connecting to TV with RCA cable
Fig. 2
On the back of your receiver you will find the RCA connectors (Audio Left & Right - Red& white, Video

Packaging
When disposing of this
product packaging, please
ensure that it is recycled.
Packaging material is to be
depolluted in waste
separation.
Power Saving
To save power and money,
please put the product into
standby mode when not in
use. We also recommend
disconnection from mains
supply when not in use for longer
periods of time.
Batteries
Do not dispose of the batteries
from your handset with your
domestic waste.
Where they are available,
participate in your local municipal
or retailer collection schemes
for spent batteries. Batteries
discarded in landfill sites or
incinerated increases the chances
of pollutants being dispersed into
the atmosphere.
