4 Connections  
The references a b c etc. stated below refer to the  
illustration on page 10.  
4.1 Mains power connection  
The receiver should only be connected to the mains power  
supply when the unit has been completely connected with all  
other relevant components. This will eliminate the danger of  
damage to the receiver or other components.  
b
When you have effected all the connections, use the  
power connection switch supplied to connect the  
receiver with a 230V/50 Hz power supply.  
4.2 Connection to the antenna  
a
The cable coming from the terrestrial antenna must be  
connected to the terrestrial antenna input of the  
receiver.  
Where possible you should use a roof-mounted anten-  
na. A room antenna may be sufficient where reception  
conditions are particularly favourable. When using an  
active antenna be sure to switch on the antenna feed  
(Point 5.2).  
4.3 Connection to a television set  
Once you have connected your receiver to the television set  
as described above, it may be necessary, before you can  
make further settings or adjustments, to adapt the receiver to  
the TV standard of your TV set.  
Please note Point 5.3 (Video system).  
4.3.1 Via SCART cable:  
Using a SCART cable connection between the receiver and  
the TV set will ensure optimum image quality.  
c
Connect the receiver (SCART socket TV) and the  
TV set (SCART socket) via a SCART cable. If your TV  
set is appropriately equipped, it will switch automati-  
cally to AV mode, and thus to DVB-T mode, when the  
receiver is switched on.  
4.3.2 Via HF cable:  
If your TV set is not equipped with a SCART socket, you will  
have to connect the receiver to the antenna input socket of  
the TV set.  
If this type of connection is used, sound reproduction will be  
in mono only.  
d
Connect the receiver (Antenna output) to the  
antenna input socket of your TV set by means of a  
suitable TV connection cable.  
11  
You must now tune your TV set to the transmission channel  
of the receiver. Select a free programme slot on your TV set  
and tune it to channel 41 (refer to operating manual of the TV  
set if necessary).  
If you do not receive a clear image on channel 41, this may  
be the result of a neighbouring channel being set to a pro-  
gramme being received from the same antenna. You can  
check on this by temporarily removing the antenna cable from  
the Input terrestrial antenna socket of the receiver. If  
you then temporarily receive a clear image, you should select  
another transmission channel for the receiver in the range of  
21 to 69.  
4.4 Setting the UHF output channel  
Proceed as follows:  
>
>
>
Press the Menu key to display the Main Menu. (Fig.  
4-1)  
Now select the line Settings, using the arrow keys  
up/down to mark the appropriate line.  
Confirm by pressing OK.

>
>
Now use the arrow keys up/down to highlight the  
line Audio/Video Settings.  
Confirm by pressing OK.  
The sub-menu Audio/Video Settings will now be  
displayed. (Fig. 4-3)  
Now, use the arrow keys up/down in order to hig-  
hlight the blue field, thus selecting the menu line UHF  
output channel.  
Now tune your TV set to a free UHF channel in the  
range of 21 to 69.  
Then set the new output channel of the receiver by  
means of the arrow keys right/left.  
The receiver will now transmit on the UHF channel  
shown on the display.  
(Fig. 4-1)  
(Fig. 4-2)  
(Fig. 4-3)  
>
>
>
12  
Your receiver will now check automatically whether the  
channel you have selected, as well as the lower neig-  
hbouring channel adjoining it, are free (Fig. 4-4). If the  
channel is already occupied, a note to this effect will  
be displayed (Fig. 4-5). In this case, please repeat the  
procedure until you find a suitable free channel.  
When you have found the optimum UHF channel,  
please remember to store this in your TV set memory.  
You can now make further adjustments in the menu  
Audio/Video Settings,or you can press the Menu  
key to return to normal operation. This setting will be  
automatically stored when you exit the menu.  
If your television set is equipped only with an automa-  
tic search function, then simply set any UHF channel  
on your receiver, then start the automatic search pro-  
cedure of your television set. If necessary, keep  
repeating this procedure until you have found a suita-  
ble output channel, then store this in your TV set  
memory.  
(Fig. 4-4)  
>
>
(Fig. 4-5)  
>
At this stage it may be necessary to fine-tune the  
channel on your TV set.

8 Technical Terms  
Antenna cable (co-axial cable):  
The connecting cable used between antenna and receiver, to  
transmit the signal received  
Data compression/MPEG-1/MPEG-2:  
Using the current television standards (625 lines, and 50 Hz  
image repeat frequency) means that a data volume of 216  
MBit/s. This would require bandwidths simply not available  
with either satellite or terrestrial transmission. Therefore it  
was decided to reduce the data volume by using a data com-  
pression programme. In Europe, MPEG-2 has been agreed  
upon as the international standard for data compression.  
MPEG-2 is an expanded version of MPEG-1  
DVB:  
Digital Video Broadcasting: A universal digital broadcasting  
technology used for pictures, graphic images, sound and text,  
i.e. for data in any form, and always in every possible quality  
suitable to the type of data  
DVB-T Receiver:  
The signals received by the antenna cannot be processed by  
the television set. The signals are processed in the DVB-T  
receiver in such a way that an audio-visual (AV) signal is pro-  
vided at the receiver’s outputs in a form suitable for the tele-  
vision set  
Frequency:  
A physical measurement indicating the number of waves or  
oscillations per second. The unit of measurement is called  
Hertz (Hz)  
Channel:  
Part of a frequency band which is apportioned according to a  
specific allocation procedure. A TV channel consists of two  
frequencies, one for the visual content and one for the sound  
content. Each channel is designated by means of a numeric  
abbreviation (except for those European television channels  
in the frequency range 40 - 230 MHz, which have been given  
letters of the alphabet as designations).  
Modulator:  
Switch in the receiver facilitating the connection to the TV set  
by means of antenna cable  
33  
Mode:  
determines whether a mono or a stereo programme is  
received  
OSD:  
On Screen Display (messages shown on TV screen)  
PID:  
Packet Identifier, Packet-ID  
SCART:  
Type of plug/socket connection used in television sets, video  
recorders, satellite receivers and other entertainment electro-  
nics products to transmit both sound and picture (audio and  
visual, or AV) signals.  
Software Update:  
Digital television is a new medium. It provides not only impro-  
ved sound and picture quality, but also the facility for provi-  
ding interactive services. These services are continually  
being developed and improved by programme providers. In  
order to utilise these services it may become necessary to  
update the receiver’s software.
