11.3 Biss
Some TV channels are broadcasted with a special encryption named Biss (Basic Input
Scrambling System). You can watch them normally if you have made correct settings. These
setting parameters may require some subscriptions. To enter BISS key related to the channel that
you watch, display Main Menu and enter Biss sub menu. You will see a numeric field that you can
enter Biss key. On this numeric field, a yellow cursor is displayed under first digit and you can
enter each digit by moving this cursor with ◄► buttons. When done, press EXIT button to return
to Main Menu. The key will be saved automatically. If the channel that you watched is not
encrypted with Biss, entering this key will not affect your normal watching.
Note: BISS keys are obtained mostly as 16 hexadecimal digits. Evaluating this key as 8 pieces of two
digits hex numbers is more understandable. Below is an example of BISS key:
A9 23 13 DF 02 28 B4 DE
If two digit hexadecimal numbers in this key are converted to decimal numbers, following array is
obtained:
169 35 19 223 02 40 180 222
The particularity of the array is that the 4th and 8th numbers are sums of their previous 3 numbers:
169 + 35 + 19 = 223 02 + 40 + 180 = 222
Therefore, 4th and 8th number are like supplementary parts (checksums), rather than being a part of the
array. Your device will calculate checksums automatically and writes to corresponding column after each
update of digits. You device will not permit you to enter 7th, 8th, 15th and 16th hexadecimal digits, you will be
able to enter only remaining 12 hexadecimal digits and this will be enough.
Warning: Acquiring these parameters may require some subscriptions and unauthorized use of these may
cause violation of laws.
11.4 Firmware & Channel Information Transfer
Di-Compact 4  4 device operates with a firmware and channel informations that this firmware
reads and processes. When a problem is encountered during the operation of the device or when
you want to install the channels automatically from a database, you can update the firmware and
channel informations via a PC. For this purpose, display Main Menu and enter Firmware and
Channel Information Transfer sub menu. A message concerning that the device will go to firmware
transfer mode and it will ask for your confirmation. If you are not sure, you can return to Main
Menu by pressing EXIT button. If you confirm by pressing OK button, your device will stop
receiving and outputting channels, it will be in a state that only it can communicate with a PC. After
completing the firmware and channel information transfer operation, reboot your device by
switching off and on the power switch on the rear panel.
Note: It is not recommended to make firmware transfer to a device which operates without problem.
Please request a confirmation from manufacturer before performing a firmware update, otherwise the repair
of any functionality loss that you cause during this operation will not be covered by warranty.
11.5 Factory Reset
If you think that the channels in your device became too dense or the device became inefficient
due to some changements on parameters that you don’t remember old values, you can revert your
device to the settings at factory output. For this purpose, display Main Menu and enter Factory
Reset sub menu. At this stage, you will be asked for a password with a numeric field regardless
the state of Setting Lock mechanism. After you enter valid password, a confirmation box stating
that all settings will be reverted back to factory output will appear. If you are not sure, you can

return to Main Menu by pressing EXIT button. If you confirm by pressing OK button, all channels,
the satellites that you have added and transponders related to those will be deleted, and all
settings will be reverted back to factory output states.
When you reboot the device, you will be alerted with a message stating that no channels exist
and you will be asked to perform a channel search. Since your device has various satellites and
transponders related to them, you can easily perform a channel search and you can access the
channels that you wish to watch.
