Safety instructions
Please read the safety instructions carefully before
operating the receiver.
Please follow all warnings and instructions on the
equipment and in the operating manual.
Basic safety instructions
Electrical connection
•Separate the receiver from the power source in case of
operational disruptions. Please note: The receiver will
remain live, even if it is turned off with the mains switch
on the rear side.
•Do not expose the receiver to rain or any kind of
humidity to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.
•Never open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of
electric shock.
•Connect the receiver only to a professionally installed
mains socket of 100–240 V~, 50–60 Hz.
•The total power consumption by the antenna
connection of the receiver “LNB IN” must not exceed
300 mA.
•Pull out the mains plug from the socket if the
equipment is not in use for a longer period of time.
Only pull at the mains plug, not at the cable.
•In case of storms pull out the mains plug of the
receiver from the socket.
•In case of a storm, loosen the LNB cable from the
receiver.

7
•If foreign bodies or fluids enter the receiver,
immediately pull out the mains plug from the socket.
Ask a qualified person to check the equipment before
operating it again. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric
shock.
•Ensure that the power source (socket) is easily
accessible.
•Do not bend or crimp the mains cable.
•If the mains cable is damaged, the
receiver must be repaired by an expert before reusing
it. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
•Never allow children to operate the receiver or to play
with the antenna unit unless supervised.
•Always ask qualified personnel to carry out
maintenance jobs. Otherwise, you are putting yourself
and others at risk.
•Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case
of operational disruptions.
•Spare parts must be ordered directly from the
manufacturer
•Modifications of the device lead to an extinction of the
manufacturer’s liability.
•Remove the protection films.
Caution!
Note regarding separation from the mains supply. The
Standby key of this device does not separate the device
completely from the mains supply. In addition, the device
consumes current in standby mode. To

8
separate the device completely from the mains supply,
the mains plug must be pulled out of the socket.
Suitable location
•Place the receiver on a stable and even base.
•Avoid proximity to:
-heat sources, like e. g. heaters,
-naked flames, like e. g. candles,
-devices with strong magnetic fields, like e.g.
loudspeakers.
-Never place receptacles filled with liquid (e. g.
vases) on the receiver
•Avoid direct sunlight and places with an extremely high
amount of dust.
•Never cover ventilation slits. Ensure adequate
ventilation of the receiver.
•Do not place any heavy objects on the receiver.
•Humidity may settle in the receiver if it is brought into
hot surroundings from a cold one. In this case, wait for
about an hour before operating the equipment.
•Arrange the mains and antenna cable in such a
manner that no-one steps or trips over them.

9
Correct battery handling
•Batteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that
batteries are not within the reach of children. Children
may eat and swallow batteries.
•Batteries that are getting discharged may damage the
remote control. If the receiver is not in use for a longer
period of time, remove the batteries from the remote
control.
•Batteries may contain toxic agents. Therefore, dispose
of the batteries immediately in an ecologically
accepted manner according to the prevailing statutory
regulations. Never throw the batteries into normal
household waste.
•Never expose the batteries to open fire or strong heat,
as otherwise there is a danger of explosion.
•Replace the batteries always by batteries of the same
type.

Connecting the receiver
The receiver is connected with your satellite antenna by
means of a coaxial cable. If necessary, you have to
prepare a coaxial cable before connecting the receiver.
 The coaxial cable is not included in the scope of
supply.
Caution!
Connect the receiver to the mains supply only after you
have connected it to all equipment and the antenna
properly. Otherwise, the receiver can suffer damages.
The wire netting and the inner core of the coaxial cable
carry current during operation.

17
LNB cable installation
(cp. installation diagram on the next page)
For the installation of the F connector on the coaxial
cable you will need a knife (ideally a wire stripper) and
side cutting pliers.
 When stripping the isolation, neither the inner
core or the foil nor the wire netting must be
damaged.
Cut 8 mm of the coaxial cable at each end up to the
inner core.
Carefully cut 10 mm of the outer insulation so that the
wire netting is exposed.
Turn the wire netting backwards and wind it over the
outer insulation in such a manner that it does not touch
the inner core.
Remove the inner insulation together with the foil
placed over it up to 2mm before reaching the wire
netting.
Caution!
The wire netting and the foil must not touch the inner
core. The foil must enclose the inner insulation and
must not be damaged.
Rotate the F connector onto the turned-back wire
netting until the connector touches the inner insulation.
 The wire netting must not protrude from the back
of the connector end.

18
Cut the inner core with a cable cutter in such a manner
that it projects maximum 1 mm from the connector.

19
Installation diagram
Fasten the F connector of the coaxial cable onto the
“LNB IN” antenna connection of the receiver. Fasten
the other end of the coaxial cable on the LNB.

20
Connection with the HDMI cable
Insert the HDMI cable in the HDMI socket of the
receiver.
Connect the HDMI-Kabel to the TV set. Follow the
operating manual of the TV set.



 The HDMI cable is not included in the scope of
supply.
Insert the Cinch connector of the Cinch cable in the
“AUDIO-R” and “AUDIO-L” sockets of the receiver if
you want to connect a stereo system.
