Dear customer,
congratulations on your decision to buy the DigiPal 2 digital
receiver.
This operating manual is designed to assist you in using the
comprehensive functions of your new digital receiver to the
optimum.
We have tried to keep the instructions as brief as possible,
while making them as comprehensive, and comprehensible,
as necessary.
The range of features of your unit is constantly being expan-
ded in the form of software updates. This may lead to addi-
tional operating steps becoming necessary which are not yet
described in this manual, or the operation of existing func-
tions may be altered. For this reason, you should occasio-
nally visit the TechniSat homepage in the Internet, to downlo-
ad the most up-to-date operating manual.
We wish you many years of enjoyable entertainment with
your TechniSat DigiPal 2 !
Your
TechniSat Team

3 Please read this first
> Before you set up your unit for operation, please first
check that the package contains all the components
that should be there. The following are supplied as
standard:
1 digital receiver, 1 mains power cable, 1 remote con-
trol unit, 1 operating manual, 1 guarantee card, 2 bat-
teries (1,5V AAA size).
> Insert the batteries provided in the battery compart-
ment of the remote control unit. Note the correct pola-
rity when inserting the batteries.
> Before connecting the digital receiver, please first read
the safety notes in Chapter 3.
>Chapters 4, 5 and 6describe connection of the
receiver, and adjusting it to the external installation
(dish antenna, LNC, etc.), to the television set, VCR,
etc. These settings need only be made once during
initial installation, and need only be adjusted or chan-
ged when there are any changes in your equipment,
i.e. if a different external unit is connected, or additio-
nal appliances are connected.
>Chapter 7 describes all the functions necessary for
day-to-day operation, such as programme selection or
volume adjustment.
>Chapter 8 contains information on how to add new
programmes, and how to change the programme
order.
> Technical terms used in the operating manual are
explained in Chapter 9.
> Technical data may be found in Chapter 10.
> Assistance in finding and eliminating problems can be
found in the trouble-shooting guide in Chapter 11.
Important notes on operation
The use of a so-called "On Screen Display" simplifies the
operation of the digital receiver, and reduces the number of
keys required on the remote control unit. All functions are
displayed on the screen, and can be controlled by a few key-
strokes. Related functions are grouped together in a "MENU".
The selected function is highlighted in a different colour. The
lower line of the display shows coloured bars representing the
red, green, yellow and blue function keys. These coloured
bars represent different functions in the various menues,
which can be executed by pressing the appropriate colour-
coded key (“multi-function key”) on the remote control unit.
The function keys are only active when a brief description is
displayed in the appropriate field.
The descriptions of keys and terms that appear in the OSD
menu are printed in bold type in this operating manual.

priate handling.
> To ensure adequate circulation of air, place the unit on
a smooth horizontal surface and do not place any
objects on top of the unit. The top cover contains air
slits which permit heat to escape from the interior of
the unit.
> Do not place any burning items, such as burning
candles, on top of the unit.
> Do not place any containers filled with liquid, such as
vases, on top of the unit, and ensure the unit remains
dry, i.e. it must not be subjected to water spray or dro-
plets.
> The unit may only be operated in a temperate climate.
> Do not open the cover of your unit! You are in danger
of receiving an electric shock. If it becomes necessary
to open the unit, this should only be done by trained
personnel.
In the following cases you should disconnect the unit
from the mains power and consult a specialist repair ser-
vice:
> the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged
> the unit has been exposed to humidity, or liquid has
entered the casing
> in case of severe malfunction
> in case of significant external damage
When not in use
The unit should be disconnected from the mains power sup-
ply if it will not be operated for an extended period (e.g. when
you are away on holiday), or during an electric storm.

4 Connections
The references below to items a b c etc. refer to the illustra-
tion on page 10.
4.1 Antenna
aThe cable coming from the terrestrial antenna (roof-
mounted or room antenna) should be connected with
the terrestrial antenna input of the receiver.
Wherever possible please use a roof-mounted anten-
na. An internal room antenna may be sufficient under
very favourable reception conditions. If an active
antenna is being used, ensure that the antenna feed
is switched on (Point 6.2.4).
4.2 Connection to a television set
4.2.1 Using a SCART cable
bConnect your receiver (SCART socket TV) and the
television set (SCART socket) by means of a SCART
cable. If your television set is appropriately equipped,
this will switch automatically to AV mode when the
digital receiver is switched on, and will thus switch to
DVB-T operation.
4.2.2 Using HF cable
If you wish to continue receiving any analogue programmes
that may be available, the digital receiver must be connected
to the antenna input of the television set.
cConnect the receiver (antenna output) with the
antenna input socket of the television set, using a sui-
table cable connection.
4.3 Video cassette recorder (VCR)
dConnect the video recorder to the SCART socket
VCR. In playback mode, the video recorder will sup-
ply a switching signal to the digital receiver. The video
recorder signal will be supplied automatically to the
televison set.
If your video recorder does not supply a switching sig-
nal, use the O/AV key to switch your digital receiver
to the external input AV. Press this key again to revert
to normal operation.

4.4 Hi-fi amplifier
4.4.1 Analogue
eTo enjoy the best possible sound quality, you can
connect the digital receiver to a hi-fi amplifier. Use a
suitable cable to connect the cinch sockets Audio R
and Audio L of the digital receiver to an input of the
hi-fi amplifier (e.g. CD or AUX; please note that the
Phono input is not suitable!).
4.4.2 Digital
eIf your amplifier is equipped with an appropriate
electrical or optical input socket, connect the socket
AUDIO OUT DIGITAL electrical with the elec-
trical input of your amplifier.
Sampling rates of 32, 44.1 and 48 KHz are provided, depen-
ding on the broadcasting station.
In addition, this connection will reproduce the Dolby Digital
signal (AC3), where available.
4.5 Mains power connection
The digital receiver should only be connected to the mains
power supply after it has been completely connected with all
other components in the system. This serves to avoid the
digital receiver or other components being damaged or
destroyed.
fWhen you have completed making all the connections,
use the mains cable supplied to connect the receiver
to a mains power outlet 230 V/50-60 Hz.
4.6 Serial interface (RS 232)
The RS 232 interface is used to update the operating system,
and to facilitate pre-programming by means of a personal
computer.
5 Getting started: initial installation
When you have read the safety notes, and have connected
the unit as described in Chapter 4, you can proceed to switch
on the receiver as described in Chapter 7. When switching on
the unit for the first time, the Start window with the AutoInstall
installation assistant (Fig. 5-1) will be displayed. The
installation assistant will guide you through the most important
settings of the digital receiver quickly and in an easy-to-follow
manner.
The keys on the remote control required to make the appro-
priate step in the installation are marked.You can break off
the initial installation procedure at any time by pressing the
red function key.

vious step of the installation procedure. This allows you to
correct any entries made in error.
If the initial installation is not carried out at all, or is interrup-
ted, your unit will start operation with its standard pre-pro-
