INTRODUCTION
Thank you for having chosen this digital receiver. Carefully follow the instructions in this manual to enjoy all
the advantages of satellite TV and radio reception (DVB standard). We advise following the use instructions
and recommendations supplied with the digital receiver, especially for first-time use. This receiver fully
complies with international DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standards and includes one or several
conditional access systems. It is compatible with televisions and video machines equipped with a standard
SCART/Peritel connector.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The packaging of the receiver includes cardboard and plastic which can be recycled to protect
the environment.
Storage If this receiver is not used directly after purchase, it can be stored in its original packaging,
in a cool dry place, at a temperature of between -6° C and +50° C. Before use, wait until the
receiver has reached an ambient temperature.
Electrical power supply
This receiver is designed to operate with 90/240 Volts AC power at 50/60 Hz. Its maximum
energy consumption is 25 watts. The receiver comes with an AC power cable. For your own
personal safety, do not touch the receiver outside normal conditions of use (e.g.: humidity).
Unplug the receiver in the event of prolonged periods of non-use and storms.
Satellite dish installation
Although not supplied with the receiver, we advise reading the satellite dish installation
instructions. When in doubt, contact your satellite dish specialist.
Remote control batteries
The remote control supplied with your receiver comes with two alkaline batteries, type LR03-AAA.
Always replace with batteries of this type. Insert the batteries without forcing and according to the
polarities indicated (+ and -). We wish to remind you that used alkaline batteries must never be
thrown into a fire. To protect out environment, we recommend recycling them.
Location of your receiver
Your receiver has ventilation slots (on the bottom and on the top). To ensure the correct ventila-
tion of your receiver and hence its service life and normal functions (constant and low internal
temperature), these slots must never be obstructed. This receiver is designed to operate with
temperatures of between 0°C to +40°C. Installation in premises which are confined or subject to
changes in temperature or humidity (sheds, attics, small cellars, etc.) may cause receiver
overheating, premature wear or problems not covered by the warranty.
Leave a space of at least 4 centimetres around and above the apparatus. Never cover with
fabric, paper (magazines), plastic bags, etc. Place your receiver in a dry, dust-free location. It is
not designed for outdoor use.
Digital receiver maintenance
To clean your receiver, dust with a dry cloth only or dampen with distilled water for the front face.
Never use detergents of any kind. Before cleaning, always disconnect the receiver from the mains
and from the satellite coaxial cable.

IMPORTANT
We draw your attention to the fact that the recording of programs, pictures, sounds, videograms,
broadcasts, software transmitted via terrestrial, satellite or cable, individual or collective antenna,
and their rebroadcasting or commercial use outside the home may constitute a violation
of copyright laws.
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY
Never open the receiver. It contains no part that can be repaired by the user. The opening,
modification of circuits or connection of any non-compliant equipment renders the warranty null
and void. For maintenance or repair, bring the receiver to your dealer if under warranty, or to a qua-
lified technician in all other cases. In order to limit the risk of fire, electrocution or damage caused
to other equipment or people, protect the apparatus from damp, bad weather conditions, dust,
sand, radiation, sun, cold or high temperature (refer to technical information for more details).
REMARKS CONCERNING ELECTRICAL DEVICE
This receiver complies with the low voltage directive (European standard EN 60.065) and the “electromagnetic
compatibility” directive (European standard EN 55.013). It also complies with the European Community
directive governing radio interference (89/336/CE). The manufacturer declaims all responsibility in the event
of any use which does not comply with the recommendations in this manual and made available to
customers by mail, telephone, telematics, or broadcast. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for direct or indirect fraudulent use of the device (example: counterfeiting, piracy, or illicit copying).
REGARDING THE ASSOCIATED SATELLITE DISH
Our receiver can support a large number of configurations and was designed to facilitate use, even with
a double reception satellite receiver (i.e. Eutelsat 13°E + Astra). This receiver generates DiSEqC (Level 1.1)
control signals to facilitate the reception of these two satellites, as well as DiSEqC 1.2 integrated positioner
handling in order to receive a large number of satellites with only one dish. We recommend the use of a universal
LNB reception head (L.O. : 9.750 and 10.600 MHz). For the installation of the dish and/or an additional
satellite receiver (not supplied), an “installation kit” can be purchased from your dealer which includes coaxial
cable, a light tools and various connectors.
PROGRAM ACCESS RESTRICTION
Access to certain programs is exclusively reserved for adults (18 years of age and over). To block access,
these channels can be locked through the use of a parental code. Moreover, a number of conditionnal
access are designed to indicate a maturity rating, protected by a secret code. In compliance with law,
children under 18 years of age must not be given access to this secret code. We wish to draw the attention
of adults to the above law. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the use of this secret code by
children under the age of 18.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
The reception of Pay TV programs and services is linked to the use of a conditionnal access card.

ADJUSTING RECEPTION
43
Your CD.TV410 makes it easy to
control the quality of the reception and
helps you to point your dish in the
direction of a satellite, even in the case
of a motorised mounting, using a
DISEqC 1.2-compatible positioner.
However, we recommend that initial
settings are carried out by a profes-
sional, who will have all the equipment
and invaluable experience required for
this.
INFO BUTTON
To control program reception quality,
press the Info button. Information on the
current program is displayed, including
the reception level and the digital
signal/noise ratio.
If the signals are weak, this could be
because your dish is badly positioned.
Nevertheless, check the reception of
other programs before changing your
dish positioning.
CONFIGURATION / INSTALLATION
POSITIONING ANTENNA MENU
This menu can be accessed from the
"Configuration” menu and is useful in
a number of ways:
- Standard dish: first installation or if
a violent wind has moved the positioning
of the dish.
- Motorised dish: first installation or to
add new satellites to your receiver; this
screen displays a graphic which repre-
sents the reception level and digital
signal/noise ratio.
You receive digital signals
You must tell your receiver which
transponder these readings should
be taken from (frequency, polarization
and symbol rate). This depends on the
satellite. For example, you can choose:
Hotbird 13° E 12245 H 27500
Astra 19,2° E 12402 V 27500
You can use the buttons to choose
different operating modes. The first thing
to do is to position your dish. Use a
plumb line to check that the mounting is
vertical. Adjust the elevation by following
the instructions.
FIRST INSTALLATION
STANDARD DISH

Free TV
When scanning a satellite, the CD.TV410
detects unencrypted channels. You can
access these channels from the "Free
TV" list.
Important : a channel may be free at
certain times and encrypted
at others. The operator is
also free to decide to
change access to a
channel. Therefore, there
is no guarantee as to
whether a channel is free
or encrypted. Moreover,
some unencrypted channels
are not suitable for all
viewers, especially young
or sensitive people.
Therefore, we advise you
to lock these channels (see
end of chapter).
