Dear customer,  
congratulations on your decision to buy the DigiPal 2 digital

as necessary.  
The range of features of your unit is constantly being expan-  
ded in the form of software updates. This may lead to addi-  
tional operating steps becoming necessary which are not yet  
described in this manual, or the operation of existing func-  
tions may be altered. For this reason, you should occasio-  
nally visit the TechniSat homepage in the Internet, to downlo-  
ad the most up-to-date operating manual.  
We wish you many years of enjoyable entertainment with  
your TechniSat DigiPal 2 !  
Your  
TechniSat Team

Important notes on operation  
The use of a so-called "On Screen Display" simplifies the  
operation of the digital receiver, and reduces the number of  
keys required on the remote control unit. All functions are  
displayed on the screen, and can be controlled by a few key-  
strokes. Related functions are grouped together in a "MENU".  
The selected function is highlighted in a different colour. The  
lower line of the display shows coloured bars representing the  
red, green, yellow and blue function keys. These coloured  
bars represent different functions in the various menues,  
which can be executed by pressing the appropriate colour-  
coded key (“multi-function key”) on the remote control unit.  
The function keys are only active when a brief description is  
displayed in the appropriate field.  
The descriptions of keys and terms that appear in the OSD  
menu are printed in bold type in this operating manual.

4 Connections  
The references below to items a b c etc. refer to the illustra-  
tion on page 10.  
4.1 Antenna  
a
The cable coming from the terrestrial antenna (roof-  
mounted or room antenna) should be connected with  
the terrestrial antenna input of the receiver.  
Wherever possible please use a roof-mounted anten-  
na. An internal room antenna may be sufficient under  
very favourable reception conditions. If an active  
antenna is being used, ensure that the antenna feed  
is switched on (Point 6.2.4).  
4.2 Connection to a television set  
4.2.1 Using a SCART cable  
b
Connect your receiver (SCART socket TV) and the  
television set (SCART socket) by means of a SCART  
cable. If your television set is appropriately equipped,  
this will switch automatically to AV mode when the  
digital receiver is switched on, and will thus switch to  
DVB-T operation.  
4.2.2 Using HF cable  
If you wish to continue receiving any analogue programmes  
that may be available, the digital receiver must be connected  
to the antenna input of the television set.  
c
Connect the receiver (antenna output) with the  
antenna input socket of the television set, using a sui-  
table cable connection.  
4.3 Video cassette recorder (VCR)  
d
Connect the video recorder to the SCART socket  
VCR. In playback mode, the video recorder will sup-  
ply a switching signal to the digital receiver. The video  
recorder signal will be supplied automatically to the  
televison set.  
If your video recorder does not supply a switching sig-  
nal, use the O/AV key to switch your digital receiver  
to the external input AV. Press this key again to revert  
to normal operation.

4.4 Hi-fi amplifier  
4.4.1 Analogue  
e
To enjoy the best possible sound quality, you can  
connect the digital receiver to a hi-fi amplifier. Use a  
suitable cable to connect the cinch sockets Audio R  
and Audio L of the digital receiver to an input of the  
hi-fi amplifier (e.g. CD or AUX; please note that the  
Phono input is not suitable!).  
4.4.2 Digital  
e
If your amplifier is equipped with an appropriate  
electrical or optical input socket, connect the socket  
AUDIO OUT DIGITAL electrical with the elec-  
trical input of your amplifier.  
Sampling rates of 32, 44.1 and 48 KHz are provided, depen-  
ding on the broadcasting station.  
In addition, this connection will reproduce the Dolby Digital  
signal (AC3), where available.  
4.5 Mains power connection  
The digital receiver should only be connected to the mains  
power supply after it has been completely connected with all  
other components in the system. This serves to avoid the  
digital receiver or other components being damaged or  
destroyed.  
f
When you have completed making all the connections,  
use the mains cable supplied to connect the receiver  
to a mains power outlet 230 V/50-60 Hz.

7.15 Timer recording  
Your receiver is equipped with both a video recorder timer  
and a programme switching timer. In terms of their program-  
ming, these two timer types differ only with regard to the  
respective categories..  
You can programme your timer manually as described in this  
chapter, or by means of the SFI function, as described in  
Point 7.14.7.  
1. Video recorder timer  
Use a video recorder timer to switch your digital receiver on  
and off in your absence, in order to record a programme by  
means of an external recording unit, e.g. a video recorder.  
Please note that you must also programme your video recor-  
der in order to record the programme.  
If the unit was switched on by means of the video recorder  
timer, this will be indicated by “rec” in the display. Most of the  
remote control functions will be disabled, to avoid an acciden-  
tal interruption of the recording. In stand-by mode, the active  
timer will be indicated by the colon in the LED resp. time  
display blinking.  
2. Programme change timer  
If your unit is in norm,al operating mode, it will switch to the  
pre-selected programme slot at the selected time. Unlike the  
video recorder timer mode, all the functions of the unit remain  
operational, and the unit will not be switched off at the end of  
the programme.

9 Technical terms  
Antenna cable:  
Cable used to connect the modulator of the satellite receiver  
to the antenna input socket of the television set. Used as an  
alternative where no SCART socket is available  
AV: see SCART  
Channel:  
Part of a frequency band, divided and allocated by an agreed  
system. A TV channel consists of two frequencies, one for the  
audio and one for the visual content. Each channel is descri-  
bed in terms of a numeric description (with the exception of  
European television channels broadcast in the frequency  
band 40-230 MHz, these are denoted by letters).  
Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:  
The transmission of the current television standard (625 lines,  
and a picture frequency of 50 Hz) results in a digital data  
volume of 216 MBit/s.  
This would require enormous bandwidths which are simply  
not available, whether via satellite of via terrestrial reception.  
Therefore the data is compressed in order to achieve a  
reduction in the data volume. For Europe,MPEG-2 has been  
laid down as the world-wide standard for data compression.  
MPEG2 is an expanded version of MPEG1  
Coaxial cable:  
Cable used to connect the LNC to the satellite receiver, used  
to transmit the signal received as well as to provide power to  
the LNC.  
DVB:  
Digital Video Broadcasting: A digital universal broadcast tech-  
nology used to transmit pictures, graphics, sound and text,  
i.e. data in any form imaginable form, in appropriate quality.  
Frequency:  
A physical term, indicates the number of vibrations per  
second, expressed in terms of the unit Hertz (Hz)

DVB-T receiver:  
The signals received by the antenna cannot be processed by  
the television set. The DVB-T receiver processes them in  
such a way that audio and video signals (AV) are available  
at its outputs, which can then be passed on to the television  
set.  
OSD:  
On Screen Display - data shown on screen  
PID:  
Packet Identifier, Packet-ID  
Receiver:  
The signals received from the antenna cannot be processed  
by the television set. The signals are processed by the recei-  
ver so that audio and video (AV) signals are generated at its  
outputs that can be handled by the television set.  
SCART:  
Type of connector used on television sets, video recorders,  
satellite receivers and other home electronics components to  
transmit audio and video signals (AV).  
Software Update:  
Digital television is a new medium that provides improved  
sound and picture quality as well as the facility to provide  
interactive services. These new services are constantly being  
developed and improved by the providers. To utilize the servi-  
ces, it may occasionally be necessary to update the software  
of the digital receiver.  
Signal:  
General description for data, for information, sound or pictu-  
res, the content of which is modulated electrically to broad-  
cast the data over a distance, or to connect various suitable  
reception and viewing units with each other.
