Dear customer,
congratulations on your decision to purchase the DigiCorder
S2 digital receiver.
The operating manual supplied is intended to help you tuilise
the comprehensive functions of your new digital receiver to the
fullest extent.
We have kept the operating instructions as brief as possible,
and have used terminology that everybody can understand.
The range of functions of your receiver is constantly being
expanded in the form of software updates. This means that
additional steps in the operation may be added that are not yet
described in this operating manual, or the operation of existing
functions may be changed. For this reason you should occa-
sionally visit the TechniSat homepage, to download the current
version of the operating manual.
We wish you many years of viewing pleasure with your
TechniSat
DigiCorder S2!
Your
TechniSat Team

>
Before starting to use your receiver, please check that all
the components have been supplied correctly. The follo-
wing should be included:
1 digital receiver, 1 mains connection cable,
1 remote control, 1 operating manual,
1 guarantee card, 2 batteries (1,5V microcells).
Please insert the batteries supplied in the battery com-
partment of the remote control unit, with attention to the
correct polarity as indicated.
>
Important notes on operation
The use of so-called "On Screen Displays" (OSD) means that
operation of the digital receiver is simplified, and the number of
keys on the remote control unit reduced. All functions are display-
ed on screen, and can be controlled by means of a few simple
keystrokes. Functions that are logically connected are combined
in a "MENU". Any function selected will be indicated in a different
colour. The function keys red, yellow, blue and green are indica-
ted by coloured bars at the bottom of the screen. In the various
menues, these coloured bars represent different functions, which
can be implemented by pressing the appropriate coloured keys
(multi-function keys) on the remote control. The function keys are
only activated when a brief description is displayed in the appro-
priate field.
Key names and terms that appear in the OSD menu are shown
in black type in this operating manual.
Help: where available, press the blue function key in the
menues to display a help text; press again to close the help win-
dow.
Disposal advice
The packaging material of your receiver consists entirely of recy-
clable materials. Please sort the components appropriately, and
dispose of them in line with your local waste disposal regulations.
At the end of its useful life span, this receiver may not be dispo-
sed of in your regular domestic refuse bin. It must be taken to a
recycling collection point for electrical and electronic equipment.
The sambol on the product, the operating manual or the packa-
ging will indicate this.
The materials used are recyclable and re-usable in accordance
with their labelling. By ensuring that valuable raw materials are
used again you can make a valuable contribution towards protec-
ting our environment.
Please contact your local authorities for the location of the nea-
rest recycling collection point.

lease ensure that spent batteries removed from the remote con-
trol are not disposed of in your regular household refuse, but are
correctly disposed either in special bins for problem waste, or at
collection points in the retail trade.
Safety notes
For your own protection you should read the safety notes care-
fully before proceeding to operate your new receiver.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by
careless and irresponsbile handling, or by non-compliance with
the safety notes.
>
The receiver is equipped with a fully integrated hard
drive. There is no provision for the hard drive to be repla-
ced or exchanged, unless specifically authorised by
TechniSat. Any unauthorised replacement of the hard
drive will result in TechniSat no longer guaranteeing that
the receiver still complies with legal requirements (e.g.
appliance and product safety laws, law on the electro-
magnetic safety of appliances). The „CE approval“ will
thus no longer be valid. If an altered product is sold
onward, the person who effected the alteration or change
becomes the manufacturer in legal terms, and is respon-
sible as such. In addition, the TechniSat guarantee will
become null and void, and there may be a loss of war-
ranty rights.
To ensure adequate ventilation, place the receiver on a
smooth, horizontal surface and do not place any objects
on top of the receiver, as ventilation slots are located
here to allow heat to be dissipated from the interior of the
unit.
Do not place any burning objects, such as burning cand-
les, on top of the receiver.
Do not subject the receiver to water droplets or water
spray, and do not place any obkects filled with liquid,
such as vases, on top of the receiver.
Operate the receiver only in a temperate climate.
Do not open the reciever housing under any circumstan-
ces! You are in danger of receiving an electrical shock. If it
is necessary to effect repairs in the receiver, these should
only be carried out by trained and qualified service person-
nel.
>
>
>
>
>
In the following cases you should disconnect the receiver
from the mains power, and should consult an expert:
>
>
the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged
the receiver was exposed to liquid, or liquid has run into
the unit
in case of severe malfunctions
in case of significant external damage
>

7.3 Receiving encrypted programmes
Your receiver is equipped with a “Common Interface” for the
insertion of two CI modules. These can be used to receive
encrypted programmes. To do this, you must first insert a CI
module with a valid Smartcard in one of the two slots provi-
ded for this purpose:
>
>
Insert a CI module in one of the slots.
Insert the Smartcard in the card slot of the CI module.
Ensure that the gold-coloured chip of the Smartcard is
on the upper surface, in the direction in which the card
is inserted.
>
If you now select an encrypted programme, the digital
receiver will automatically check the slot, and will
display tge programm in decoded form, provided the
appropriate CI module, including a valid Smartcard, for
this programme is inserted in the slot.
Special functions
Certain special functions are offered on specific programme
slots, e,g, Premiere (reception only with a valid subscription !)
For instance, multi-feed channels allow you to select various
games in the sports category, i.e. different National League
games in Germany, or you might be able to select different
commentary tracks (e.g. stadium/broadcast), or in some
cases different camera viewing angles may be available (e.g.
Formula 1 racing).
In addition, on some channels you may be able to select the
starting time of a movie you have ordered.
Please also note Point 7.15.7.2 in this regard.
7.3.1 Option channels
Some programmes provide the opportunity of using so-called
option channels. This function allows you, for instance, to
select different camera perspectives in the case of a sports
event (Formula 1) or to switch to different sporty venues
(National League football in Germany).
Where a programme provides channel options, this will be
indicated by a message on screen (Fig. 7-6).
(Fig. 7-6)
>
To select one of the available options, press the key
Option.
A selection window will be displayed, showing the
various options available. (Fig. 7-7)

(Fig. 7-9)
If the programme is validated for the starting time you
have set, you can proceed to view this at the desired
time.
7.3.3 Simultaneous reception of two encrypted pro-
grammes
Your receiver is able to receive two different encrypted pro-
grammes simultaneously, using only a single CI module and
a single valid Smartcard. However, this is only possible when
using a “Dual-Decrypt” compatible CI module (see specifica-
tions given by manufacturer of CI module), and then only if
both desired programmes are located on the same transpon-
der.
Please also note the item CI Dual decoding in the Special
functions Point 6.5.3.
7.4 Volume control
You have the facility to adjust the volume of your digital
receiver. This facilitates the easy operation of the receiver, as
it means you have all the important functions on a single

8 Hard drive operation
Your PVR receiver (PVR=Personal Video Recorder) is
equipped with an integrated hard disk drive. There is no pro-
vision for this drive to be exhanged other than by an authori-
sed TechniSat retailer/technician. Due to the availability of the
hard drive, you no longer require an external storage medium
(e.g. a video recorder). The recording capacity is dependent
on the size of the hard drive and on the volume of data of the
broadcast material.
Where these are available from the provider, the recording
will include the actual audio and video data, as well as any
sub-titles, videotext data and additional sound channels bro-
adcast. These can be called up when you play back the

8.1 Recording
Various recording modes are available for saving recordings
to the hard drive.
1. Instant recording
Use this type of recording to record a currently running pro-
gramme immediately, with just one press of the key.
2. Timer-controlled recording
In the case of this function, your digital receiver will be swit-
ched on and off for the recording, so this can be recorded in
your absence. To do this, you can either programme the timer
manually, or automatically using the SFI function.
3. Timeshift recording
The timeshift recording mode makes it possible to provide
timeshift telvision viewing. While the programme is still being
broadcast, you can already view the recording, shifted in
time.
Please note!
To utilise all the recording facilities of your receiver, you
should ensure it is connected via two independent antenna
connections. This allows you to use the following combina-
tions of recording and playback :
Record one programme, and at the same time view
another programme being broadcast, or a hard drive
recording
Record two programmes simultaneously, even if these
are located in different ranges of the transmission
band
Record two different programmes simultaneously,
even if these are located in different ranges of the
transmission band, plus play back and view an exi-
sting hard drive recording
If only one antenna connection is available for connec-
tion to the reciever, only a limited range of recording and
playback options is available.
Record one programme, and at the same time view
another programme in the same range of the same
reception band, or view a hard drive recording.
Record two programmes on the same reception
band simultaneously.
Record two different programmes on the same
reception band simultaneously, and view an exi-
sting hard drive recording

8.1.2 Timer recordings
You can record programmes on the integrated hard drive in
your absence, using the hard drive timers. In addition, your
receiver is equipped with video recorder timers and channel-
switching timers. In terms of their programming, these timer
types differ only in name.
You can programme the timers manually as described in this
chapter, or using the SFI function as described under Point
7.15.7.2.
1. Hard drive timer
This function will switch the digital receiver on and off, allo-
wing you to make recordings on the hard drive in your absen-
ce.
If the receiver is switched on by the hard drive timer, this will
be indicated in the display by the message “lPVR Timer”.
Some of the functions of the remote control (e.g. calling up
the main menu) will be deactivated. In stand-by mode, the
active timer will be indicated by a clock symbol in the display.
2. Video recorder timer
If the video recorder timer is selected, your digital receiver
will be switched on and off for the selected programme, allo-
wing you to make recordings in your absence on an external
recording unit, e.g. a video cassette recorder. Please note
that you must programme your video recorder accordingly to
record the programme.
If the receiver is switched on by the video recorder timer, this
will be indicated by the message “lVCR Timer” in the display.
Some functions of the remote control (e.g. calling up the
main menu) will be deactivated. In stand-by mode, the active
timer will be indicated by a clock symbol in the display.
3. Channel-switching timer
If your receiver is in normal operating mode, it will switch to
the programmed channel slot at the set time.
In contrast to the hard drive or video recorder timer options,
the receiver and remote control remain fully functional, and
will not be switched off at the end of the programme.

To avoid mechanical damage to the satellite dish or the LNB
by physical obstacles, you must first set the maximum degree
of rotation to both East and West. If there are any obstacles
in the rotating field of the dish (e.g. a wall or chimney), these
must definitely be considered when setting the East-West
limits.
If there are no obstacles in the rotating range of the dish, set
the limits so that the dish can be rotated a little further than
the most extreme locations of the satellites to be received.

ordinates are often stated in degrees, minutes and seconds,
these must be converted to decimal values as follows:
The value for degrees is not affected by the conversion. The
minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal
place. The result of this division is added to the value for full
degrees.
The seconds are not taken into consideration, as they do not
affect the first decimal place.

10.3 Setting a satellite position
For each satellite position to be added, consecutively work
through Points 10.3.1 to 10.3.3. When programming satellite
positions, we recommend you start with the satellite that has
the most Easterly orbital position. Continue by adding the
other satellites, working your way through in a Westerly direc-
tion, until you have reached the satellite with the most
Westerly orbital position. Your digital receiver is pre-pro-
grammed at the factory for the most popular satellite posi-
tions. In addition, you can configure user-defined satellite
positions (User 1 to User 13) for any orbital position desired.

11 Technical terms
Antenna cable:
Cable connection between the modulator of the satellite
receiver and the antenna input of the television set. Used as
an alternative where no SCART socket is available
External unit or installation:
Description used for the entire system of components located
outdoors, consisting of the parabolic/offset dish as well as
one or more LNBs used to receive signals from one or seve-
ral satellites
AV: see SCART
Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:
Example:
To transmit the current television standard (625 lines and 50
Hz image refreshing frequency), one arrives at a digital data
volume of 216 MBit/s.
This would require bandwidth that is not available for either
terrestrial or satellite transmission. Therefore, the data is
reduced to decrease the volume of data. For Europe, MPEG-
2 has been determined as the international standard for data
compression. MPEG2 is an expansion of MPEG1

LNB/LNC (Low Noise Block converter):
Reception unit at the focal point of the antenna, converts the
frequency range of the satellite into the intermediate frequen-
cy of the digital receiver.
LOF:
Local oscillator frequency: stated in terms of MHz or GHz;
varies depending on the LNB and the frequency range recei-
ved.
Receiving frequency of the digital receiver = broadcasting fre-
quency of the satellite - LOF
Modulation at 22 KHz:
Apart from the 14/18 Volt switching facility, this serves to
switch between two LNBs. In the case of a Universal LNB it
serves to switch to the High-Band range
Parabolic dish:
Dish made of metal or coated synthetics, with a parabolic
shape, to focus the electromagnetic waves broadcast by the
satellite at a focal point
Polarisation plane:
To better utilise the available frequency range, satellites are-
configured so that neighbouring transponders broadcast with
opposite polarisation (horizontal and vertical or laevo-rotatory
and dextro-rotatory). To receive both polarisation planes you
will require two single LNBs or a V/H LNB.
Receiver: see satellite receiver
Satellite:
Description of the satellite, usually consisting of the name and
the orbital position,
ASTRA

EUTELSAT
Satellite receiver:
The signals received and converted by the LNB cannot be
processed by the television set. They are processed by the
satellite receiver so that the audio and video (AV) signals pro-
duced at its outputs can be transmitted to the television set.
SCART:
Plug-in connection on television sets, video recorders, satelli-
te receivers and other consumer electronics appliances, used
to transmit audio (sound) and video (picture) signals (AV).
Software update:
Digital television is a new medium that provides not only
improved picture and sound quality, but also provides the faci-
lity of providing interactive services. These new services are
continually being developed and improved by the service pro-
viders. To use these services, it may therefore be necessary
to update the software of the digital receiver.

Transponder:
Located on the satellite, processes one or several program-
mes there, ie. it receives the data from the transmitting sta-
tion on the ground, amplifies the signal and broadcasts it
back to earth.
Universal LNB:
Designed to receive the ranges FFS (10,70 - 11,70 GHz),
BBS (11,70 - 12,50 GHz) and FFS High Band (12,50 - 12,75
GHz). The entire range is divided into two bands:
Low Band: 10,70 - 11,80 GHz; LOF 9750 MHz
High Band 11,70 - 12,75 GHz ; LOF 10600 MHz
Supply current:
LNBs are supplied with electrical current via the co-axial
cable. To do this, the receiver provides a current of 14 or 18
Volt
Intermediate frequency:
The frequency range transmitted by the satellite cannot be
transmitted via cable, and is therefore converted by the LNB
to the intermediate frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz.
This makes transmission possible, and allows the digital
receiver to process the signal.
