SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Power Source:
The receiver should be operated only from an 8 -26 V AC, 0 Hz outlet. Please do
not open the cover by yourself. There is high voltage in the set, which will danger your
life. Please ask closest service for help.
Power Cord:
The power supply cord should be placed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon them or against them. Pay particular attention to cord
where they enter the plug, power outlet, and the point where they exit from the receiver.
Choice Of Location:
 Please do not place the set under direct sun light.
 The set should be placed on a solid and safe base.
 The location should not be selected as a room with high humidity, as the conden-
sation, arising in the kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the
set.
 Heating or other thermal radiations under the set also may cause malfunction or
damage the set.
 The hot air, which arises during the operation should be ventilated with sufficient
air circulation. Please do not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.
 Please avoid the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into opera-
tion near bath, swimming pools.
 Take care for a good air circulation. Do not place the set on beds, sofas, carpets
or similar surface otherwise the air supply of the set though the ventilation-slot
will be interrupted.
 Connect the power supply of the sat- receiver only after the installation is ready.
 The parabolic antenna has to be grounded correctly. For this you have to follow
the appropriate VDE regulations.

SATELLITE ANTENNA
To have an excellent function of the sat-receiver, it is necessary to install the antenna
correctly. Please avoid under all conditions to have a short circuit at the antenna cable
conductor (LNB receiver). The sat-receiver is equipped with a LNB short-circuit pro-
tection.
PUTTING ON THE BATTERIES OF THE
REMOTE CONTROL
First open the battery cover on the underside of the remote control. Put on both bat-
teries 1. Volt (R03/AAA) referring to the imprinted symbols (+/-) in the battery case and
put on the battery cover again.
While using the remote control, direct it towards the front side of the receiver. If the
remote control do not work or the chosen function could not be made, the batteries
are most probably exhausted and they should be replaced as soon as possible.
Please use only the leak proof batteries. It is the best to take out the batteries from
remote unit in case you wouldnt use the remote control unit for long time.
CONNECTION OF YOUR TV WITH THE SATELLITE
RECEVIER
Connection to the TV:
1. Connect your terrestrial antenna to the ANT IN signed socket of the satellite re-
ceiver.
2. Connect an antenna cable between the TV OUT signed socket of the satellite
receiver and the antenna socket of the TV, as it is used for video recorders.
3. Carefully plug in the connector of the satellite antenna cable to the LNB INPUT
(920-21 0MHz) signed socket of the satellite receiver.
Putting into operation:
Be sure that you put through all the cable connection. After plugging in the mains
supply of the set to the mains supply, a red light will be seen on the front panel. Then,
user can turn on the receiver by pressing standby button on remote control or keypad.
The red light in front panel will disappear.

Tuning your TV to the Sat-receiver:
Put the switch Test/TV on the backside of the set to position TEST. The signal of the
sat-receiver is tuned for channel 38(UHF) ex factory. Turn on your TV and tune it with
the channel search (UHF area) to the test signal. The test signal exists of two vertical
white stripes on black background. Memorize this tuning on an unused program on
your TV. You can later receive the satellite on this program.
If needed, please use the operation manual of your color TV.
Remark: If your channel 38 is used by a program, which you receive via an antenna
or another connected set, for example a video recorder, you can tune on the output of
the receiver between 30-39 UHF.
Turn with a small screwdriver carefully the signed output on the back of the set. With
this process you can change the channel of the starting signal of the sat receiver. In
this way you can tune channels 30-39. Tune again your TV for the RF signal and
memorize this adjustment.
Scart socket:
When you additionally connect your set with a scart cable, the satellite programs will
be directly fed in the TV, respectively the video receiver, as far as you have chosen the
AV channel of these sets. The picture and sound quality will be improved better. During
the operation over the scart cable there is no special adjustment needed.
Audio Output socket:
The audio sockets are used to connect the sat-receiver to a hi-fi set. So you can lis-
ten to the TV sound or one of the numerous radio stations via your set or respectively
record on a cassette recorder.
