Addendum to instruction manual
Dear Customer,
Your receiver is based on the DigiCom1A units. As your equipment is designed
to be operated by means of 12V DC (direct current), the paragraph 4.1 “Mains
connections” of the instruction manual supplied does not apply to your unit.
Please, therefore, note the following instructions with regard to
the power supply connections!!!
1. Warning note
When operating your receiver, please use only the original accessories and
connections supplied. Any damage brought about through incorrect connec-
tion of the unit cannot be considered within the framework of our unit guarantee.
2. Operation with 12V connection in motor vehicle
(cigarette lighter)
Once you have connected all components with the receiver, connect the 12V
connection of the receiver with the 12V connection of the motor vehicle (cigarette
lighter), using the connection cable supplied.
3. Operation with domestic mains supply (230V/50Hz)
Once you have connected all components with the receiver, connect the 12V
connection of the receiver with the 12V output of the mains adapter supplied.
Thereafter connect the mains adapter with a 230V/50Hz mains socket.

4 Connections
The references in bold type - a b c etc. refer to the diagram on page 8.
4.1 Mains connection
The receiver should only be connected to the mains supply after all connections with other
components and equipment have been made. This helps to eliminate the likelihood of dama-
ge to the receiver or other components.
bOnce all other cable connections have been made, connect the receiver to a mains
supply of 230 V/50 Hz, using the mains cable included.
4.2 External Installation
aUse a suitable coaxial cable to connect the LNB INPUT of the receiver to the LNB
unit of your external installation. Also note Point 5 “Installation”.
4.3 Connection to a Television set
4.3.1 By means of a SCART cable:
In order to obtain the best picture quality possible, we advise you to use a SCART cable to
connect your receiver to the TV set.
The procedure is as follows:
eConnect the receiver (SCART TV connection) with the TV set (SCART connec-
tion), using a SCART cable. If your TV set is fitted with an appropriate connection, the
set will automatically switch to AV mode, and thus receive the satellite signal, whene-
ver the receiver is switched on.
4.3.2 By means of an HF connection
If your TV set is not fitted with a SCART connector, the receiver will have to be connected to
the antenna input of the TV set. If this form of connection is used, sound will only be availa-
ble in mono mode, and not in stereo.
The procedure is as follows:
fUsing a suitable TV connection cable (coaxial), connect the receiver (HF OUT) to
the antenna input connector of your TV set.
cThe cable feeding the terrestrial signal from the antenna should be connected to the
Terrestrial Antenna Input of the receiver.
Now you must tune the TV set to the transmission channel used by the receiver. Select a
free programme slot on your TV set, and select channel 38 (if necessary, refer to the instruc-
tion manual of your TV set for this).
If you do not receive a clear picture on channel 38, this may indicate that either this or a
neighbouring channel are already receiving a programme signal via the antenna. You can
check on this by temporarily disconnecting the antenna cable from the Terrestrial Anten-
na Input of the receiver. If you then temporarily receive a clear picture, you should select a
different transmission channel within the receiver’s range of 21 to 69.

>Select a free UHF channel on your TV set in the range between 21 and 69.
> Finally, use the numeric keypad to enter the new output transmission channel in
your receiver’s memory.
The receiver will now transmit the signal on the UHF channel shown in the display.
Should you still experience interference on the channel selected, please repeat the
procedure until you find a suitable channel, free from interference.
10
bed_anl_DigiCom1A-1plus-englisch.qxd 11.06.01 10:02 Seite 10

>Once you have found a UHF channel with optimal quality, please remember to enter it

nel on your receiver, then start the automatic scan run on your TV set. If necessary,
repeat this procedure until you find a suitable output/transmission channel (as descri-
bed above), and store the selected channel in your TV set’s memory.
It may be necessary to finish off with some fine tuning of the channel on the TV set.
4.5 Video Cassette Recorders (VCR)
dConnect the video cassette recorder to the SCART connection marked VCR on your
receiver. When the video player is set to PLAY, it will send a switching signal to the
receiver, which will transmit the video player signal to the TV set automatically.
If your video recorder is not equipped to provide this switching signal, set your recei-
ver to the external input AV1, using the EXTERNAL key on your remote control.
Pressing this key again will take you back into normal operating mode.
4.5.1 Super VHS Video Cassette Recorders
If you have a Super VHS video recorder, you can use this to make recordings in Super VHS
quality through your DVB receiver. In order to achieve this, make all the necessary settings
as described in 5.3 (Audio/Video Settings).
Note: this setting applies to both the TV and VCR SCART connections of your receiver.
6 Amplifier
4.6.1 Analogue
In order to achieve the best possible sound quality, the receiver can be connected to a hi-fi
amplifier. Use a suitable cable to connect the cinch outputs Audio R and Audio L of the
receiver with an input connection of your hi-fi amplifier (use either CD or AUX inputs, the
Phono connection is not suitable).
4.6.2 Digital
Should your amplifier be equipped with an appropriate electrical or optical input, you may
connect the AUDIO OUT DIGITAL electric resp. the AUDIO OUT DIGITAL optical
connectors with the appropriate inputs of your amplifier.
Sampling rates of 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz are available.
Where broadcast, the Dolby Digital signal (AC3) is also available at this ouput.
4.7 Serial Interface RS 232
The RS 232 interface can be used to update the operating software, and in order to pre-pro-
gramme the receiver via a PC.

Confirm by pressing the OK key.
The menu LNB Settings will be displayed.
The following selections can be made in this sub-menu:
5.4.1 Switching DiSEqC on or off
DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a digital signal that can control the functions
of DiSEqC-compatible components via the antenna connection.
If your external installation features DiSEqC components, you should enable the DiSEqC
control function:
> When this entry is highlighted, use the OK key to switch the function DiSEqC on or
off.
5.4.2 Adjusting the Switching Matrix and LNB Properties
The menu reflects the four switching criteria of the DiSEqC control.
Your receiver is pre-programmed to receive ASTRA broadcasts on switch setting A/A, and
EUTELSAT signals on setting B/A of a Multiswitch. Should the switching matrix of your exter-
nal receiving unit be set up differently, or should you wish to receive satellite signals other
than those mentioned, you can adjust the receiver settings as follows:
> Use the up/down arrow keys to select the DiSEqC switch position (1-4) that you
wish to use for allocation to a satellite (e.g. A/B 3 No Satellite), and highlight the
appropriate entry in blue.
> Press the OK key to confirm.
A list of several satellites will be displayed, from which you can make your selection.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to select the appropriate satellite.
Pressing the up/down arrow keys will move the marker by one line at a time, up
or down, while the left/right arrow keys will take you to the previous or following
pages respectively.
Should the satellite you are looking for not be included in the list, please select one of
the spare settings, which are marked User 1 to User 15.
>Confirm by pressing the OK key.

The highlighted entry will now be inserted in the menu >Settings>LNB at the pre-
viously selected position.
In this way, you can continue to customise the Menu>Settings>LNB until all the informati-
on in this menu corresponds to that of your receiving unit. For those switching criteria you do
not require you should select the setting No Satellite.
5.4.3 Additional Settings
Now that the switching matrix of your DVB receiver has been adjusted to conform to your
external reception equipment, you should also check on the other settings for your receiving
equipment, and adjust the settings where necessary.
> Use the left/right arrow keys to mark the entry LNB Test.
> Using the up/down arrow keys to move around the field LNB Test, select the
satellite position (1-4) that you wish to adjust resp. check on; mark the entry Pro-
ceed in blue.
> Confirm by pressing OK
The menu >LNB>Test will now be displayed, together with the DiSEqC setting sel-
ected (e.g. A/A 1).
The following settings can be made:
LOF low band
LOF (local oscillator frequency) is the frequency used by the LNB to convert the frequency
received into the so-called 1st Intermediate Frequency, which can then be utilised by the
receiver. So-called universal LNBs utilise 2 LOFs in order to cover the whole frequency
range of 10.7 to 11.8 GHz (low band) and 11.7 to 12.75 GHz (high band). Using the numeric
key pad of your remote control, enter here the LOF frequency corresponding to the low band
of your LNB.
LOF high band
As above - using the numeric key pad of your remote control, enter here the LOF frequency
corresponding to the high band of your LNB.
Switchover LOF low/high
Use the numeric key pad of your remote control to enter the frequency at which your LNB
switches from low band to high band.
Transponder Test
The following points of this menu should only be entered if you want to test a satellite signal
by means of a self-generated satellite (User 1 to 15).
Transponder frequency
Use the numeric key pad to enter a frequency at which digital programmes are broad-
cast.

Polarisation
Use the OK key to enter the appropriate polarisation plane (horizontal or vertical) on which
the selected programme is broadcast.
Symbol rate
The symbol rate is an indication of the volume of data being transmitted per second. A typi-
cal rate might be 27000, indicating that 27000 symbols per second are being transmitted.
Use the numeric key pad to enter the appropriate symbol rate.
FEC Rate
The FEC function adjusts error correction to the requirements of the selected transponder.
Use the OK key to enter the appropriate FEC. This can be 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 6/7 or 7/8.
If the FEC rate is not known, use the Auto setting.
Signal
This line will indicate the signal strength, provided the details of the transponder have been
entered correctly.
Red bar: poor reception, digital reception not possible
Yellow bar: good reception
Green bar: excellent reception
6 Operation
6.1 Switching on and off
>Use the key On/standby on the receiver or on the remote control to switch the
receiver on.
> Pressing the same key on the receiver or on the remote control again will switch the
receiver off again.
> The receiver is now in standby mode, the display on the receiver will now show the
time.
If the time is not shown, this must still be acquired by the receiver. In Germany, it is
sufficient to switch the receiver on, and to select Channel 2 (ZDF) of the public servi-
ce broadcast system for approx. 1 minute, for the time to be acquired automatically.
6.2 Programme Selection
6.2.1 Using the Programme up/down keys
> Use the Programme (Channel) up/down keys either on the receiver front panel or
on the remote control to move up or down the list one channel at a time.
6.2.2 Using the Numeric Key Pad
Use the numeric key pad to enter the desired programme/channel number directly:
For example:
1Programme/channel 1
1, followed by 4Programme/channel 14
2, followed by 3, followed by 4Programme/channel 234
When entering programme numbers consisting of more than one digit, you have about 3
seconds after pressing one digit to enter the next digit, in order to complete the entry in such
a way that the receiver recognises all digits as part of one selection.
If you are entering a programme number with only one or two digits, you can speed up the
selection process by pressing OK after entering the last digit.

6.2.3 Using the Programme List
> Press the key OK.
A list of programmes will now be displayed.
If the receiver is in TV mode, only TV programmes will be shown, and in Radio mode only
radio programmes will be displayed. The programme currently selected is highlighted in red.
> You can now proceed to mark the desired programme in blue by using the up/down
arrow keys.
>Press the OK key, and the desired programme will be shown.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to move up or down the programme list one line at
a time.
> Use the left/right arrow keys to move forward or back one page at a time.
6.2.4 Selecting blocked programmes
If a programme is selected that is subject to parental lock, the words PIN Number will
appear on the screen.
> Use the numeric key pad to enter your PIN number.
The desired programme can now be viewed.
In order to make this function easy to use, the PIN number needs to be entered only once
during each operational phase. The parental lock feature is only activated again next time
the receiver is switched on.
6.2.5 Information (Info) Box
Every time the programme is changed, an info box will be displayed temporarily, showing the
programme number and name. In addition, any special programme features will be shown,
e.g. TxT for video text, 16/9 for a 16/9 widescreen broadcast, A/B for various audio channels
(e.g. movies with several language soundtracks, or various radio programmes), the Dolby
symbol for Dolby Digital broadcasts, for encoded programmes or the symbol
for sub-titles.
6.3 Adjusting sound volume
You can adjust the volume of your receiver. This facilitates use of the receiver, as it means
you have all important functions combined in one remote control, and will have to revert to
the remote control of your TV set only very rarely. Whenever the receiver is switched on, the
volume setting used last will be set again.
> Use the keys Volume + to increase the sound volume, and Volume - to reduce the
volume.
> Press the key Sound on/Off to mute the sound. Repeated pressing of this key will
restore the sound.
