and can be implemented with a few keys. Related functions
are combined in a "MENU". The function selected will be
marked and highlighted in a different colour. The bottom line
of the display shows colour bars in green, red, yellow and
blue, corrresponding to the function keys in these colours. In
the various menus these colour bars represent different
functions which can be accessed by pressing the
multi-function key of the appropriate colour on the remote
control unit. The function keys are only active if a brief
description appears in the appropriate field.
Key descriptions and other terms appearing in the OSD menu
are shown in emphasized letters in this operating manual.

4 Connections
The items a b c etc. mentioned below refer to the illustration
on page 10.
4.1 Mains power connection
The digital receiver should be connected to the mains power
supply only once all the other connections with other items of
equipment have been made. This will prevent damage to the
digital receiver or to other components.
a
When you have made all the other connections. use
the mains power cable supplied to connect the recei-
ver to a mains power supply providing 230 V/50-60 Hz.
4.2 External unit
4.2.1 Single unit operation
b
Using a suitable co-axial cable, connect the LNC input
of the digital receiver with the LNC of your external
unit. Please also note Point 6 under “Settings”.
4.2.2 Operating an additional receiver in a single-
receiver installation
c
If you wish to operate an additional unit in a single-
receiver installation (e.g. an analogue receiver or an
ADR receiver), you can connect the LNC input of the
additional receiver with the LNC output of the DVB
receiver by means of a suitable co-axial cable. In
order for the satellite signal to be provided to the
additional receiver, your DVB receiver must be oper-
ated in Standby mode. If your DVB receiver is switc-
ched on, it will take over priority in controlling the LNC.
4.3 Connection to a television set
When you have connected your digital receiver with
the television set as described in this chapter, it may be
necessary to adjust the digital receiver to the television stan-
dard of your television set.
To do this, please note Point 6.3.5 (Video system).
4.3.1 Via SCART cable
To ensure the best possible picture quality, use a SCART
cable to connect the digital receiver with the television set.
Proceed as follows:
d
Connect the receiver (SCART socket TV) and the
television set (SCART socket) by means of a SCART
cable. If your television set is appropriately equipped,
it will switch automatically to AV when the digital recei-
ver is switched on, and will provide satelliote recep-
tion.

4.3.2 Via HF cable
If your television set is not equipped with a SCART socket,
the digital receiver will have to be connected to the antenna
input socket of the television set. If this connection is used,
only mono sound reproduction is possible.
To make the connection, proceed as follows:
e
Use a suitable TV connection cable to connect the
receiver (HF output) to the antenna input socket of
the television set.
f
Connect the cable coming from the terrestrial antenna
to the Terrestrial antenna input of the digital receiver.
You must now set your television set to the transmission (out-
put) channel of the digital receiver. Select a free programme
slot on your television set, and tune it to Channel 38 (if
necessary, consult the operating manual of your television
set).
If you do not receive a clear picture on Channel 38, either this
channel or a neighbouring channel may already be tuned to a
programme being received via the antenna. You can check on
this by temporarily removing the antenna cable from the Input
terrestrial antenna socket of the digital receiver. If you then
temporarily receive a clear picture, you should select a diffe-
rent channel on the digital receiver, in the range 21 to 69.
Setting the UHF output channel
To set an optimum UHF output channel, please proceed as
described in 6.3, and go to the menu Audio/Video Settings
and mark the field UHF output channel. Then proceed as
described in 6.3.7.
4.4 Video cassette recorder (VCR)
g
Connect the video recorder to the SCART socket
marked VCR. In Playback mode, the video recorder
will supply a switching signal to the digital receiver.
The video recorder signal will be sent automatically to
the TV set.
If your video recorder does not supply the required
switching current, use the 0/AV key to switch your digi-
tal receiver to the external input AV. Press this key
again to return to normal operation.
4.5 HiFi Amplifier
4.5.1 Analogue
To achieve the best possible sound quality, you may connect
the digital receiver to a HiFi amplifier. To do this, use a suita-
ble cable to connect the cinch sockets Audio R and Audio L
of the digital receiver with an input on your HiFi amplifier (e.g.
CD or AUX; please note that the Phono input is not suitable!).

4.5.2 Digital
Should your amplifier be equipped with an appropriate electri-
cal or optical input, you may connect the sockets AUDIO
OUT DIGITAL elektrical resp.. AUDIO OUT DIGITAL optical
with the electrical resp. the optical input of your amplifier.
Depending on the channel selected, sampling rates of 32,
44,1 and 48 kHz are available.
Where broadcast, the Dolby Digital-Signal (AC3) is also avai-
lable at this output.
4.6 Unit with S-Video input (Hosiden)
h
To connect the S-Video output with a unit equipped
with an S-Video input (e.g. beamer etc.).
4.7 Serial Interface (RS 232)
The RS 232 interface serves to carry out pre-programming
via a PC, and to update the operating software.

adcast material.

Several recording modes are available to record broadcasts
on the hard drive.
1. Instant recording
Use this type of recording to immediately record the currently
selected programme at the touch of a key.

7.15.1.2 Timer recordings
You can use the hard drive timer to make recordings on the
integrated hard drive in your absence. In addition, your digital
receiver is equipped with a video recorder timer and a pro-
gramme change timer. As far as the programming is concer-
ned, the timer types differ only in their names.
You may programme the timers manually as described in this
chapter, or with the help of the SFI function as described in
Point 7.14.7.2.
1. Hard drive timer
This function will switch the digital receiver on and off for the
selected programme, so that this can be recorded on the hard
drive in your absence.
If the receiver was switched on by means of the hard drive
timer, this will be indicated by “ꢀ PVR Timer” being shown on
the display. Most of the remote control functions are disabled
in order to prevent an accidental premature interruption of the
recording. When the receiver is in standby mode, an active
timer will be indicated by a clock symbol shown on the
display.
2. Video recorder timer
Use the video recorder timer to switch the digital receiver on
and off for a particular programme, so that this can be recor-
ded on an external recorder, such as a video recorder, in your
absence. Please note that you must programme your video
recorder to record the programme.
If the receiver was switched on by the video recorder timer,
this will be indicated by “ꢀ VCR Timer” being shown on the
display. Most of the remote control functions are disabled in

order to prevent an accidental premature interruption of the
recording. When the receiver is in standby mode, an active
timer will be indicated by a clock symbol shown on the
display.
3. Programme change timer
If your receiver is in normal operating mode, it will switch to
the pre-selected programme slot at the designated starting
time. In contrast to the hard drive or video recorder timers,
the full functionality of the unit is not restricted, and the unit
will not be switched off at the end of the programme.

9.3 Setting a satellite position
For each satellite position to be included, work through the
procedures described in Points 9.3.1 to 9.3.3. When pro-
gramming satellite positions, it is recommended that you
begin with the most easterly satellite location. Then, continue
by adding the other satellite positions, working in a westerly
direction, until you have reached the most westerly satellite
position. Your digital receiver has been pre-programmed at
the factory for the most commonly used satellite positions. In
addition, you may enter and configure user-defined (User)
satellite positions (User 1 to User 14) for any orbital position.

10 Technical Terms
Antenna cable:
Connecting cable between the modulator of the satellite
receiver and the antenna input of the television set. Used as
an alternative where no SCART socket is availabe
External installation:
Term used to describe the whole system mounted externally,
consisting of the parabolic or offset dish as well as one or
more LNCs, to provide reception from one or more satellites
AV: see SCART
Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:
The current television standard (625 lines and 50 Hz picture
repeat frequency) provides a digital data volume of 216
MBit/s.
This would require bandwidths simply not available either ter-
restrially or via satellite. The data volume is thus reduced by
means of a data reduction system. For Europe, the internatio-
nally determined standard for data compression is MPEG-2.
MPEG-2 is an expanded version of MPEG-1

Co-axial cable:
Connection cable between LNC and satellite receiver, used to
transmit the signals received and to supply power to the LNC.
LNB/LNC (Low Noise block converter):
Reception unit located at the focal point of the parabolic dish
antenna. Converts the frequency range of the satellite to that
of the interim frequency of the digital receiver.
LOF:
Local oscillator frequency; stated in MHz or GHz; varies
depending on the LNC and the frequency range
Reception frequency of the digital receiver = Broadcasting fre-
quency of the satellite - LOF
22 KHz modulation:
This can be used to switch between 2 LNCs, in addition to
14/28 Volt switching. In Universal LNCs it serves to switch to
the High range
Modulator:
Switch in the satellite receiver or video recorder used to con-
nect the television set via antenna cable

mit neighbouring programmes with opposite polarisation
(horizontal and vertical or laevorotatory and dextrorotatory).
In order to receive the two polarisation planes either two sin-
gle LNCs or one V/H LNC are required.

The signals received and converted by the LNC cannot be
processed by the television set. The signals are processed in
the satellite receiver so that modified audio and video (AV)
signals are available at the receiver outputs that can then be
processed by the television set.
SCART:
A standard plug-in connection used in satellite receivers,
video recorders, television sets and other home electronics
equipment to transmit audio (sound) and video (picture) sig-
nals (AV).
Software update:
Digital television is a new medium that provides improved
picture and sound quality as well as the option of providing
interactive services. These services are continually being
developed and improved by programme providers. To utilise
these services it may be necessary to update the software of
the digital receiver occasionally.
Transponder:
Located on the satellite, used to process one or more pro-
grammes. In other words, it receives the signal from the
ground station, amplifies the signal and transmits it back to
earth.
Universal LNC:
Used to receive the FFS range (10,70 - 11,70 GHz), BBS
(11,70 - 12,50 GHz) and FFS High Band (12,50 - 12,75
GHz). This 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
Service voltage:
LNCs are supplied with power by means of the coaxial cable,
to achieve this the receiver supples either 14 or 18 volt power
Interim frequency:
The frequency range broadcast by the satellite cannot be
transmitted via a cable. Therefore the LNC converts the sig-
nal to the interim frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz. This
makes it possible for the digital receiver to receive and pro-
cess the signal.
