2.1 Safety advice
For your own protection, you should read the safety precautions carefully before using your
new receiver.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by inappropriate handling, or by
non-compliance with the safety precautions.
Function-related discharge current may occur with electrical equipment. This is
acceptable and poses no risk, even if it is experienced as a slight "tingling". To
prevent such discharge current, mains operated devices (receivers, TVs etc.) must
always be installed or connected with the power switched off, i.e. all devices must be
disconnected from the mains.
- Only operate the receiver in a temperate climate.
- To ensure adequate ventilation, place the receiver on a flat, horizontal surface and
do not place any objects on top of it. There are ventilation slots here to allow heat to
be dissipated from the interior of the unit.
- Do not place any burning objects, such as lit candles, on top of the receiver.
- Do not expose the receiver to water droplets or water spray, and do not place any
objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on top of it. If water gets into the unit,
immediately disconnect the mains plug and inform the service department.
- Do not operate any sources of heat near the device that may also heat it up.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.
6

- Do not open the device under any circumstances! You risk receiving
an electric shock. Any necessary repairs to the receiver should only be carried out
by qualified service personnel.
In the following circumstances, you should disconnect the device from the mains
power and consult an expert:
> the power cable or mains plug is damaged
> the device has been exposed to moisture or liquid has got into it
> there are significant malfunctions
> there is severe external damage
2.2 Periods of non-use
During a storm or lengthy period of non-use (e.g. holiday), the receiver should be
disconnected from the mains and the antenna cable removed.
Before you disconnect the receiver from the mains, you should first switch it to standby
mode and wait until the time appears in the display or the red LED light is displayed.
2.3 Important notes on operation
Operation of the digital receiver is simplified through the use of so-called "On Screen
Displays" (OSD). This also means that the number of keys on the remote control unit is
reduced.
All functions are displayed on screen, and can be controlled by means of a few control
buttons.
Functions that are logically related are combined into a "MENU". The selected function will
be highlighted.
The red, yellow, blue and green "function" keys are indicated by coloured bars at the bottom
of the screen. In the various menus, these coloured bars represent different functions, which
can be implemented by pressing the appropriately coloured keys (multi-function keys) on the
remote control. The "function keys" are only active when a brief description is displayed in
the appropriate field.
The button identifications and terms that appear in the OSD menu are shown in bold type in
this operating manual.
Help: where available, press the blue function key in the menus to display the help text;
press again to close the help window.

2.4 Important information on data security
Before handing your receiver over to your supplier for maintenance purposes, we
recommend that you remove all storage media or data carriers.
The recovery of data is not part of the maintenance and repair work. TechniSat assumes no
warranty for the loss or damage of data during the repair.
2.5 Remote control / Changing the battery
> Open the cover on the battery compartment at the rear of the remote control by
pressing gently on the point indicated and pressing in the direction of the arrow.
> Insert the supplied batteries, ensuring that the poles are the right way around (indicator
visible in battery compartment).
> Close the battery compartment again.
2.6 Disposal advice
The packaging material used for your receiver consists entirely of recyclable materials.
Please sort the components appropriately, and dispose of them in line with your local waste
disposal regulations.
At the end of its useful life span, this receiver may not be disposed of with your regular
household waste. It must be taken to a recycling collection point for electrical and electronic
equipment.
This is indicated by the symbol on the product, the operating manual or the packaging.
The materials used can be re-used in accordance with their labelling.
By ensuring that valuable raw materials in old equipment are re-used, you can make a
valuable contribution towards protecting our environment.
Please contact your local authority for the location of the nearest recycling point.
Please ensure that spent batteries removed from the remote control are not disposed of in
your regular household refuse, but are correctly disposed of either in special bins for
problem waste, or at retail trade collection points.

5 Basic operation
Dear Customer
The following section starts by covering basic operation as well as recurrent operating steps
for the TV. This should make it easier to read the instruction manual, since it avoids
repeated description of identical steps at each individual stage.
If a function or setting for the device has to be different from the basic operation, the
difference in operation is described in detail at the relevant point in the instruction manual.
Your device uses the so-called "On Screen Display". This simplifies operation of the
television since the buttons on the remote control can take on different functions. This
makes it possible to reduce the number of buttons.
In this On Screen Display (abbreviated to OSD), selected functions or settings are
emphasised by means of highlighting.
Furthermore, you will see a line at the bottom edge of the screen in which the various
buttons on the remote control are shown with their current functions.
In this instruction manual, the terms shown in the OSD as well as the buttons to be
pressed are distinguished from the rest of the text by the print format used.
Warning - indicates an important note, which you absolutely should observe in order to
avoid problems with the device, loss of data or unwanted operation.
Tip - indicates a note about the function described as well as other functions
associated with it and any others to be observed with reference to the respective place
in the instruction manual.
5.1 Switching the device on / off
> When the device is on standby, you can switch it on by pressing the On / Standby
button on the remote control / device.
> When operating normally you can switch the device to standby mode by pressing the
On / Standby button.
When switching the device on / off, also note Point 9.1 in your operating manual.
14

5.2 Calling up the main menu and navigating through the menus / functions
The following example will illustrate how you reach the main menu and call up a submenu.
The objective of the example is to call up the Picture settings menu.
> Press the Menu button. The main menu appears on the screen.
> Select the Settings menu item by using the arrow keys to move the highlight to
this item.
> Press the OK button to open the Settings menu.
15

> Now use the up / down arrow keys to highlight the Picture settings item.
> The Picture settings menu is opened by then pressing the OK button.
You can also highlight the individual menu points in the same way as you highlight an
item on a submenu to open it and alter the respective settings.
The menu items in some menus have to be highlighted by moving sideways. This is
done by pressing the right / left arrow keys.
By pressing the up / down arrow keys it is possible to move the highlight from line
to line, and to move upwards and downwards page by page using the page up /
down buttons.
You will see the so-called menu path in the uppermost line of the menu. This shows
you the menu you are currently in and the path you took to reach this menu. In the
example shown this is Main menu > Settings > Picture settings. The menu
path is also shown throughout the instruction manual and shows you how you can
reach the respective menu with the settings described.
If the blue function key with Help is displayed in the bottom line on the screen, a
Help page can be displayed by pressing this button and hidden by pressing it again.
16

5.3 Accepting settings / Exiting menus and functions
In some menus and functions the changes made must be accepted manually
in order to save them permanently. If this does not happen, the function or the values that
existed before the change was made will be reset automatically on exiting the menu.
If an Accept field or the green function key with Accept is displayed in the bottom
line of the screen, you can see that the changes made must be saved manually to be
accepted.
> By highlighting Accept using the right / left arrow keys and confirming with the
OK key or by pressing the green Accept function key, the changes are saved and
you are returned to the next menu level up.
Alternatively:
> Press the Return button.
A request appears asking whether the changes you made should be applied.
> Use the right / left arrow keys to highlight Yes or No and confirm using the OK
button.
Depending on your selection, the changes will now be saved or discarded and you are
returned to the next menu level up.
Alternatively:
> Press the Menu button to leave the menu directly.
The settings that need to be saved manually will be reset in this case.
If the green function key with Accept is not displayed on the bottom line of the
screen, the changes are saved automatically on exiting the menu.
5.4 Changing a setting
You can apply settings by means of arrow selection, using the selection list, the
numeric keypad and the virtual keypad. The television specifies the method that can
be used to change a highlighted setting. You can see this from the following displayed

5.4.3 Entering numbers
> Enter the new setting you want using the numeric keypad key if a question mark
or a number value is shown inside the highlight.
5.4.4 Virtual keyboard
If is shown on the right next to the set value, the value can be changed using the selection
list. You have three different keyboard options when using this data entry method.
You can switch the keyboard layout between the so-called QWERTY keyboard and the
alphabetic keyboard; an SMS keyboard can also be used at any time.
The functionality of the QWERTY keyboard is identical to that of the alphabetic keyboard.
They only differ in the arrangement of the various letters, numbers, characters and symbols.
> Press the OK button to open the virtual keyboard.
The keyboard now appears in alphabetic form.
> You can switch to the QWERTY keyboard and back to the alphabetic keyboard by
pressing the Option button.
You can now enter the term you want as follows.
Arrow keys: Moves the highlight to the keys of the virtual keyboard.
OK: The highlighted character is added to the end of the term, or
the highlighted function is executed.
/ Yellow function key: the keyboard switches between upper / lower case.
/ Red function key: pressing / holding deletes the symbol before the blue highlight
/ entire entry.
/ Green function key: the entered term is accepted.
/ Blue function key: the keyboard switches to alternative symbols.

The SMS keyboard is operated using the numeric keypad on both the alphabetical and
the QWERTY keyboard and can be used at any time. The coloured buttons thus incorporate
the functions described above.
19

> Press one of the numeric keypad keys 0 - 9, to select the various letters,
numbers, characters and symbols.
After the initial pressing of a numeric keypad key, the first letter of the
corresponding character sequence is highlighted.
> The highlight then moves one field to the right for every additional press of the same
numeric pad key.
Press as many times as necessary to reach the desired character. This will be added
to the entered term after a short delay.
The various numeric pad keys are assigned the following displayed letters, numbers,
characters and symbols.
0:
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
Once you have reached the field you want with the highlight, you can then begin
selecting the next character immediately since, in this case, the character is directly
added to the term. If you wish to continue directly selecting a character from the same
numeric pad key, you can add the previously highlighted character to the term by
pressing the right arrow key.
5.5 Options selection
In some menus and operating modes (e.g. TV mode, music / images playback etc.), you
have the option of calling up additional functions and options via the options selection
function.
> Pressing the Option button opens the option selection in the lower right-hand corner
of the screen.
In this example we can see the option selection for the channel list.
> Every additional press of the Option moves the highlight down one line each time.
