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 fire 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 qualified personnel.
When you are connecting 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.
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 normally, even after strictly following the instructions in the user manual
available on our website www.strong.tv/downloads/manuals/7504_UM_EN.pdf it is recommended to
consult your dealer or the appropriate service for your country.

3.0 CONNECTIONS
3.1 Basic connection
Fig. 6.
A: Connect the LNB or Mono block for ASTRA 19.2 /ASTRA 23.5 of your satellite antenna to the SAT IN
connector of your receiver using a good quality coax cable and suitable ‘F-connector’ plugs.
9
English

B: Connect one end of a good quality HDMI cable to the HDMI connector of your receiver and the other
end to the HDMI input of your TV set.
C: Plug the power adapter jack to the receiver and the other end to a suitable wall outlet.
Optional: If your TV set don’t have an HDMI connector you can use the SCART connection instead. In
such case connect one end of a good quality SCART cable to the TV SCART of your receiver and the other
end to the SCART input of your TV set.
3.2 Extended connections for your home entertainment
Fig. 7.
A: Connect one end of a good quality coaxial audio cable to the S/PDIF output of your receiver and the
other end to the coaxial audio input of your home theatre, amplifier or any other device supporting
digital audio.
B: Connect your USB 2.0 storage device to this connector by using a good quality USB cable or insert the
device directly.
3.3 Connecting to multiple xed antennas
Fig. 8.
A: Connect the LNBs of your fixed antenna to the desired inputs of a DiSEqC 1.0 switch using a good
quality coaxial cable and suitable ‘F-connectors’.
B: Connect the output or “to receiver” of the DiSEqC 1.0 switch to the SAT IN connector on your receiver
using a good quality coaxial cable and suitable ‘F-connectors’.
C: Plug the power adapter jack to the receiver and the other end to a suitable wall outlet.
3.4 Connecting to your motorised dish via DiSEqC 1.2
Fig. 9
Another possibility for watching programmes from multiple satellites is by mounting a dish to a
motorized DiSEqC 1.2 or GOTO-X positioner. For the correct setup and mounting of your motorised dish
we recommend referring to the advice of a professional satellite equipment installer to ensure correct
alignment and function. Please ensure that all connections are fitting well and are correctly assembled,
then you only need to connect the “OUT” connector of your positioner to the SAT IN connector on the
rear side of your receiver.
4.0 STARTING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME
Ensure that your satellite signal is of good quality and that all connections are properly setup. In
case you encounter difficulties or you have questions, please ask your local dealer for assistance. It is
recommended to follow the First Time Installation step by step. It will guide you through the basic setup
and installation process. You will enjoy digital HD broadcasts within just a few minutes. If your receiver is
not already powered ON, against our expectation, please use the power switch on the rear side of your
receiver to switch it ON. In the unusual/uncommon case that the receiver should not start-up within
the First Time Installation, please reset the receiver with the factory reset. See chapter 7.1.5 of the user
manual on our website: www.strong.tv/downloads/manuals/7504_UM_EN.pdf. Please insert your valid

In this menu the receiver will do an automatic scan for connected LNBs and suitable satellites. The most
common satellites as Astra 23.5E, Astra 19.2E, Astra 28.2E, HotBird 13.0E and Eutelsat 9.0E will be scanned
for availability. Please wait for a short time to let the receiver complete the scan and then apply the

a satellite cable or need to correct anything else that was adjusted before. Once the Auto DiSEqC scan is
finished and you have confirmed with OK you will automatically receive at the next step of FTI. To ensure
reception and to scan the channels from your operator follow the Fast Scan method in the next steps.
For this the reception of Astra 23.5E is essential.
4.4 Satellite Selection
Depending on the results of the found satellites in the previous installation step it is possible to setup
other or additional satellites connected to your installation system. This might be useful if you have other
satellites installed on the LNB which are not commonly used ones or if the found satellites need rework.
To check or change your settings for the satellite(s) connected to the ports, use pq and press OK to
enter the submenu of your choice (LNB and the configured satellite will be according to Auto DiSEqC
Scan result). This you can do for up to 4 satellite positions. For a detailed description of this setup, please
see chapter below. Once all settings have been made, press BLUE Next to continue.
4.5 Channel List Selection
Here you can decide which of the Fast Scan channel lists you want to install. Use pq to highlight your
selection in orange coloured letters. Press OK to choose a list and the receiver will start the scan for the

you need to do a Factory Reset (see chapter 7.1.5 of the user manual on our
website: www.strong.tv/downloads/manuals/7504_UM_EN.pdf.)
If the dish is pointed towards an incorrect satellite or if there is no signal or the signal from the satellite
dish is too low, the receiver cannot install channels and will go to the Main Menu. Please, first check the
cables, the alignment of the dish and the settings and try to setup again.
