1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:
In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other equipment; on a surface
which might obstruct the ventilation slots.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
 To direct sunlight or 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.
 Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a re or an electric shock. Do not
touch a power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
 When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power
cord from the wall socket.
 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, and only after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no
foreign objects fall through the ventilation slots because this could cause re or an
electric shock.
 Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper
cooling of the components inside.
Safety Precautions
 Never try to open the receiver. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver
due to high voltages and possible electrical hazards. Opening the receiver will void
the warranty of the product. Refer all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualied
personnel.
 When you are connecting cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the
mains supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching o the receiver before you
move the receiver or disconnect any equipment.
 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
identication plate at the back of the receiver.
If the receiver does not operate normally even after strictly following the instructions in 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 designed to protect against
electric shocks and moisture. When unpacking it, make sure that all the parts are included and keep

To receive broadcasted signals, your terrestrial indoor or outdoor antenna must be connected to the
ANT IN connector on the back of the receiver. Use a properly shielded antenna cable and suitable
connectors.
The ANT OUT connector allows you to loop the antenna signal to a second receiver or TV set.
Please consider that the looped signal might be too weak if you use an active antenna.
NOTE: If the signals at your location are too weak to receive proper signals with
an indoor antenna, we recommend using an outdoor antenna which can
be pointed towards the transmission tower. Ask your local dealer for more
information.
3.2 Connecting to TV with HDMI cable
Fig. 4
The TV set shall be connected with the receiver using a good quality HDMI 1.3 or higher cable. This
connection gives the highest possible quality.
