Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the TechniCorder ISIO STC.
The operating manual supplied is intended to help you to utilise the comprehensive functions
of your new digital receiver to the fullest extent. We have kept the operating instructions as
brief as possible and have used terminology that everybody can understand.
The range of functions of your receiver is constantly being expanded by means of software
updates. This means that additional steps in the operation may be added that are not yet
described in this operating manual, or the operation of existing functions may be changed.
For this reason you should occasionally visit the TechniSat homepage to download the lat-
est version of the operating manual.
We wish you many years of viewing pleasure with your TechniCorder ISIO STC!
Your

2 Please read this first
Before connecting and using the device, first check that everything has been supplied
and familiarise yourself with the safety instructions.
The delivery includes:
1 digital receiver, 1 Quick Start Manual, 1 CD-ROM,
1 remote control, 1 mains cable, batteries (2 x 1.5V microcells)
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 these discharge currents, mains operated devices (receivers, TVs etc.)
must always be installed or connected with the power switched off, i.e. devices must
be disconnected from the mains power supply.
- 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.
- Never place any burning objects, such as lit candles, on top of the unit.
- 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, imme-
diately disconnect the mains plug and inform the service department.
- Do not operate any sources of heat near to the unit which may also heat it up.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.

7
- Never open the receiver housing 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 unit 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 discon-
nected 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 but-
tons.
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 activated 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 help text and
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 recom-
mend that you remove all storage media or data carriers.
Restoring data is not part of maintenance or repair work. TechniSat accepts no responsibility
for the loss of, or damage to, data during repair work.
2.5 Remote control/Changing the battery
> Open the cover on the battery compartment at the rear of the remote control by press-
ing gently on the point indicated and pushing in the direction of the arrow.
> Insert the supplied batteries, ensuring that the poles are the right way around (indica-
tor 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 valu-
able contribution towards protecting our environment.
Please contact your local authority for the location of the nearest recycling point.
Please ensure that dead batteries from the remote control and electronic waste items are
not sent to your regular household refuse site, but are correctly disposed of (either in special
bins for problem waste, or at collection points at specialist dealers).

Your DVB receiver can also be equipped with optional hardware, such as various tuner
modules and an internal 2.5” hard drive.

e. Now slide the drawer into the unit until you feel slight resistance. Now carefully push
the drawer further in using slight pressure to connect the disk drive with the unit. If it is
not possible to push in the drawer as far as the stop using slight pressure or until the
