NOTE:English-speaking customers - the default setting of your receiver is Arabic. You  
should go directly to Chapter 5 to change the setting to English (point 5.1 on  
Page 12)  
>
Before connecting the receiver, first check that you have received all necessary parts.  
The following are included:  
1 receiver  
1 mains cable  
1 remote control unit  
1 instruction manual  
1 guarantee card 2 batteries (1.5V size AAA)  
>
Insert the enclosed batteries in the battery compartment of the remote control unit,  
ensuring the polarity is correct as indicated.  
>
>
Before switching on the receiver, please first read the safety hints in Chapter 3  
Chapters 4 and 5 show you how to adjust and connect the receiver so that it con-  
forms to the requirements of the external unit (dish antenna, LNB, etc.) as well as to  
those of the TV set, VCR, etc. These settings have to be made only once when com-  
mencing operation, and only need to be augmented when you attach additional  
equipment to the set-up, or if the specifications of your external unit are changed..  
Chapter 6 describes all functions required for everyday usage, such as volume  
adjustment and programme selection.  
>
>
Chapter 7 shows you ways of setting additional programmes, and of changing the  
order of programmes.  
>
>
>
Technical terms used in the instruction manual are explained in Chapter 8.  
Technical data and specifications are to be found in Chapter 9.  
Hints on finding and correcting faults and malfunctions are described in Chapter 10.  
Disposal Instructions:  
The packaging of your receiver consists entirely of recyclable and re-usable materials. Plea-  
se dispose of these in the manner prescribed by your local authorities ("Dual System" in Ger-  
many). Please note that spent batteries (from the remote control unit) as well as general  
electronic components should not be disposed of in domestic garbage, but must be disposed  
of in special containers, or returned to the retail stockist, as local regulations may prescribe.  
Important hints on Usage  
The use of a so-called "On Screen Display" (see example of screen shots) simplifies the use  
of the receiver, and makes it possible to manage with fewer buttons on the remote control  
unit. All functions are displayed on the TV screen, and can be adjusted with a few clicks of  
the button.  
Functions that logically belong together are combined into a single "MENU".  
The function selected is marked by a blue background in the relevant line. A short comment  
on the selected function is shown in the lower half of the display.  
Terms used in the OSD menu are shown in bold type in this instruction manual.  
Example:  
>

Safety Instructions  
For your own safety, you should read the safety instructions carefully before switching on  
your new receiver for the first time.  
The manufacturer can accept no responsibility for damage caused by inappropriate handling,  
or by ignoring the safety advice.  
>
To ensure a sufficient ventilation, place the receiver on a plain, flat underground. Do  
not lay any objects on the upper surface of the receiver. This contains cooling slots,  
which are essential to ensure that the heat generated inside the receiver can escape  
freely.  
>
>
Do not place any burning objects e.g. burning candles on the receiver.  
Do not expose the receiver to drop and splash water. Do not place any liquid filled  
objects e.g. vase on the receiver.  
>
>
The receiver should only be used in moderate climate.  
NEVER open the receiver! You are in danger of receiving an electrical shock. If it is  
ever necessary to open the equipment housing this should be done only by appro-  
priately trained personnel.  
Equipment not in use:  
During an electrical storm as well as during extended periods when the equipment is not in  
use it is advisable to disconnect it from the electrical mains.  
In the following cases you should disconnect the equipment  
from the mains and call a specialist for assistance:  
>
>
when the mains cable or plug are damaged;  
when the equipment has been exposed to extreme damp, or when liquid has entered  
the equipment;  
>
>
when there are serious malfunctions;  
if there is severe external damage to the receiver.

4 Connections  
The references in bold type - a b c etc. refer to the diagram on page 8.  
4.1 Mains connection  
The receiver should only be connected to the mains supply after all connections with other  
components and equipment have been made. This helps to eliminate the likelihood of dama-  
ge to the receiver or other components.  
b
Once all other cable connections have been made, connect the receiver to a mains  
supply of 230 V/50 Hz, using the mains cable included.  
4.2 External Installation  
a
Use a suitable coaxial cable to connect the LNB INPUT of the receiver to the LNB  
unit of your external installation. Also note Point 5 "Installation".  
4.3 Connection to a Television set  
4.3.1 By means of a Scart cable:  
In order to obtain the best picture quality possible, we advise you to use a Scart cable to  
connect your receiver to the TV set.  
The procedure is as follows:  
e
Connect the receiver (SCART TV connection) with the TV set (Scart connection),  
using a Scart cable. If your TV set is fitted with an appropriate connection, the set will  
automatically switch to AV mode, and thus receive the satellite signal, whenever the  
receiver is switched on.  
4.3.2 By means of an HF connection:  
If your TV set is not fitted with a Scart connector, the receiver will have to be connected to  
the antenna input of the TV set. If this form of connection is used, sound will only be availa-  
ble in mono mode, and not in stereo.  
The procedure is as follows:  
f
Using a suitable TV connection cable (coaxial), connect the receiver (HF OUT) to  
the antenna input connector of your TV set.  
c
The cable feeding the terrestrial signal from the antenna should be connected to the  
Terrestrial Antenna Input of the receiver.  
Now you must tune the TV set to the transmission channel used by the receiver. Select a  
free programme slot on your TV set, and select channel 38 (if necessary, refer to the instruc-  
tion manual of your TV set for this).  
If you do not receive a clear picture on channel 38, this may indicate that either this or a  
neighbouring channel are already receiving a programme signal via the antenna. You can  
check on this by temporarily disconnecting the antenna cable from the Terrestrial Anten-  
na Input of the receiver. If you then temporarily receive a clear picture, you should select a  
different transmission channel within the receiver's range of 21 to 69.

4.4 Setting the UHF Output Channel  
The procedure is as follows:  
>
Use the Menu key to select the Main Menu.  
>
>
Now select the entry Settings, marking it in blue by using the up/down arrow keys  
Confirm by pressing OK.  
The sub-menu Settings will be displayed.  
>
>
Now use the up/down arrow keys to mark the line Audio/Video Settings  
Confirm by pressing OK..  
The sub-menu Audio/Video will be displayed.  
>
Now select the line UHF Out Channel, marking it in blue by using the up/down  
arrow keys.  
>
>
Select a free UHF channel on your TV set in the range between 21 and 69.  
Finally, use the numeric key pad to enter the new output transmission channel in  
your receiver's memory.  
The receiver will now transmit the signal on the UHF channel shown in the display.  
Should you still experience interference on the channel selected, please repeat the  
procedure until you find a suitable channel, free from interference.

>
Once you have found a UHF channel with optimal quality, please remember to enter it  
into the memory of your TV set.  
You can now select further settings in the Audio/Video Settings menu, or you can  
press the Menu key to return to normal operation. The selected setting will be auto-  
matically stored in memory when you exit the menu.  
>
>
If your TV set is only equipped with an automatic channel scan, select any UHF chan-  
nel on your receiver, then start the automatic scan run on your TV set. If necessary,  
repeat this procedure until you find a suitable transmission channel (as described  
above), and store the selected channel in your TV set's memory.  
It may be necessary to finish off with some fine tuning of the channel on the TV set.  
4.5 Video Cassette Recorders (VCR)  
d
Connect the video cassette recorder to the Scart connection marked VCR on your  
receiver. When the video player is set to PLAY, it will send a switching signal to the  
receiver, which will transmit the video player signal to the TV set automatically.  
If your video recorder is not equipped to provide this switching signal, set your recei-  
ver to the external input AV1, using the EXTERNAL key on your remote control.  
Pressing this key again will take you back into normal operating mode.  
4.5.1 Super VHS Video Cassette Recorders  
If you have a Super VHS video recorder, you can use this to make recordings in Super VHS  
quality through your DVB receiver. In order to achieve this, make all the necessary settings  
as described in 5.3 (Audio/video Settings).  
Note: this setting applies to both the TV and VCR Scart connections of your receiver.  
4.6 Amplifier  
4.6.1 Analog  
n order to achieve the best possible sound quality, the receiver can be connected to a hi-fi  
amplifier. Use a suitable cable to connect the cinch outputs Audio R and Audio L of the  
receiver with an input connection of your hi-fi amplifier (use either CD or AUX inputs, the  
Phono connection is not suitable).  
4.6.2 Digital  
Should your amplifier be equipped with an appropriate electrical or optical input, you may  
connect the AUDIO OUT DIGITAL electric resp. the AUDIO OUT DIGITAL optical  
connectors with the appropriate inputs of your amplifier.  
Sampling rates of 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz are available.  
Where broadcast, the Dolby Digital signal (AC3) is also available at this ouput.  
4.7 Serial Interface RS 232  
The RS 232 interface can be used to update the operating software, and in order to pre-pro-  
gramme the receiver via a PC.

ferences, it may still be necessary to make some adjustments for the receiver to work opti-  
mally with your antenna/satellite dish. The default factory setting is pre-programmed for  
reception of ASTRA and EUTELSAT broadcasts by means of a universal LNB (see Glossary  
at end for technical terms). Once the receiver has been connected to an external reception  
unit and switched on, these programmes can be received without any further adjustments.  
Should you also wish to receive signals from other satellites, or if you have a different type of  
LNB, you can make the following adjustments in your receiver to provide for these program-  
mes:  
>
Press the Menu key to display the Main Menu.

The following selections can be made in this sub-menu:  
5.4.1 DiSEqC ein- ausschalten  
DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a digital signal that can control the functions  
of DiSEqC-compatible components via the antenna connection.  
If your external installation features DiSEqC components, you should enable the DiSEqC  
control function:  
>
When this entry is highlighted, use the OK key to switch the DiSEqC function on or  
off.  
5.4.2 Adjusting the Switching Matrix and LNB Properties  
The menu reflects the four switching criteria of the DiSEqC control.  
Your receiver is pre-programmed to receive ASTRA broadcasts on switch setting A/A, and  
EUTELSAT signals on setting B/A of a Multiswitch. Should the switching matrix of your exter-  
nal receiving unit be set up differently, or should you wish to receive satellite signals other  
than those mentioned, you can adjust the receiver settings as follows:  
>
Use the up/down arrow keys to select the DiSEqC switch position (1-4) that you  
wish to use for allocation to a satellite (e.g. A/B 3 No Satellite), and highlight the  
appropriate entry.  
>
>
Press the OK key to confirm.  
A list of several satellites will be displayed, from which you can make your selection.  
Use the up/down arrow keys to select the appropriate satellite.  
Pressing the up/down arrow keys will move the marker by one line at a time, up or  
down, while the left/right arrow keys will take you to the previous or following  
pages respectively.  
Should the satellite you are looking for not be included in the list, please select one of  
the spare settings, which are marked User 1 to User 15.  
Confirm by pressing the OK key.  
>
The highlighted entry will now be inserted in the Menu >Settings>LNB at the pre-  
viously selected position.

In this way, you can continue to customise the Menu>Settings>LNB until all the informa-  
tion in this menu correspond to those of your receiving unit. For those switiching criteria you  
do not require you should select the setting No Satellite.  
5.4.3 Additional Settings  
Now that the switching matrix of your DVB receiver has been adjusted to conform to your  
external reception equipment, you should also check on the other settings for your receiving  
equipment, and adjust the settings where necessary.  
>
>
Use the left/right arrow keys to mark the entry Check LNB.  
Using the up/down arrow keys to move around the field Check LNB, select the  
satellite position (1-4) that you wish to adjust resp. check on; mark the entry Pro-  
ceed in blue.  
>
Confirm by pressing OK.  
The menu >LNB>Check will now be displayed, together with the DiSEqC setting  
selected (e.g. A/A 1).  
The following settings can be made  
LOF low band  
LOF (local oscillator frequency) is the frequency used by the LNB to convert the frequency  
received into the so-called 1st Intermediate Frequency, which can then be utilised by the  
receiver. So-called universal LNBs utilise 2 LOFs in order to cover the whole frequency  
range of 10.7 to 11.8 GHz (low band) and 11.7 to 12.75 GHz (high band). Using the numeric  
key pad of your remote control, enter here the LOF frequency corresponding to the low band  
of your LNB.  
LOF high band  
As above - using the numeric key pad of your remote control, enter here the LOF frequency  
corresponding to the high band of your LNB.  
Transition LOF low/high  
Use the numeric key pad of your remote control to enter the frequency at which your LNB  
switches from low band to high band.  
Transponder Test  
The following points of this menu should only be entered if you want to test a satellite signal  
by means of a self-generated satellite (User 1 to 15).  
Transponder frequency  
Use the numeric key pad to enter a frequency at which digital programmes are broad-  
cast.  
Polarisation  
Use the OK key to enter the appropriate polarisation plane (horizontal or vertical) on which  
the selected programme is broadcast.

7.7 Programme Search  
As mentioned previously, your receiver has been pre-programmed to receive signals from  
the ASTRA and EUTELSAT satellites. In order to add new channels, or those received from  
other satellites, there are four possibilities of carrying out a programme/channel search.  
Please note that your Basic Settings (5.2 - search mode) will determine whether only free-  
to-air or all (free-to-air and scrambled) channels will be searched.  
1. All:  
All satellites and transponders selected will be searched.  
2. Satellite:  
Choose this option to find specific channels or bouquets.  
3. Transponder:  
Choose this option to scan a specific transponder of a specific satellite. You can search for  
all or selected programmes of a particular transponder.  
4. Program:  
This option is intended specifically for cases where the desired channel could not be found  
by any of the other options. Please note that to utilise this search method, you will have to  
enter the specific Service ID Number of the channel, which you can obtain from the broadca-  
ster, or from the Internet.  
Once the search has been completed, the number of channels identified by your receiver will  
be displayed on your screen, also stating how many of these are new channels. New chan-  
nels are shown in red type in the Total List, and can be transferred to the User List in accor-  
dance with Point 7 (Changing the Basic Programming).

8 Technical Terms  
Antenna cable:  
Cable connection between the modulator of the satellite receiver and the antenna input of  
the TV set, used as an alternative where no SCART connection is provided.  
AV: see SCART  
Coaxial cable:  
Cable connection between the LNB and the satellite receiver, transmits the signals received  
and transmits power supply to the LNBs.  
Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:  
The transmission of an image in accordance with current TV standards (625 lines with a pic-  
ture frequency of 50 Hz) results in a digital data volume of 216 Mbit/s. This would require  
bandwidths not available in terrestrial or satellite systems. The data volume is thus subjected  
to a process of data reduction. MPEG2, which is an expanded development of MPEG1, has  
been set in Europe as the worldwide standard for data compression.  
Deemphasis:  
Making the audio frequency curve conform to the broadcast signal, this is determined by the  
transmission parameters of the satellite.  
DiSEqC:  
Digital Satellite Equipment Control - a digital control signal used to control DiSEqC-compa-  
tible components of the external unit via the antenna connection.  
DVB:  
Digital Video Broadcasting - a universal digital transmission technology for video images,  
graphics, sound and text, i.e. for data in any conceivable form and in every possible and  
appropriate quality.  
External unit:  
Description for the entire system mounted outdoors, consisting of the parabolic dish antenna  
as well as one or more LNBs, to receive signals from one or more satellites.

Frequency:  
Physical unit for measuring the number of oscillations per second, expressed in Hertz (Hz) or  
cycles per second.  
Frequency range  
a) Satellite or LNB  
11 GHz range from 10.70 GHz to 11.70 GHz, 12 GHz range from 11.70 to 12.75 GHz

Intermediate Frequency:  
The frequency range broadcast by satellite cannot be transported by cable, the LNB therefo-  
re transforms the incoming signal to the intermediate frequency range of 950 to 2050 MHz,  
thus allowing the signal to be transmitted to and modulated in the receiver.  
1.IF = Intermediate Frequency  
LNB/LNC (Low Noise Block converter)  
Receiving unit at the focal point of the parabolic dish antenna, converts the signal from the  
frequency range of the satellite to the intermediate frequency of the receiver.  
LOF:  
Local oscillator frequency, measured in MHz or GHz, varies according to the LNB and the  
frequency range received.  
Receiving frequency of the receiver = transmitting frequency of the satellite - LOF.  
Mode:  
Determines whether a mono or stereo programme will be received.  
Modulation at 22 KHz:  
Apart from the 14/28 Volt switching mode, this also serves to switch between 2 LNBs. In uni-  
versal LNBs it is used to switch into the High range.  
Modulator:  
Switch in a satellite receiver or a video recorder that is used to connect the TV set by means  
of an antenna cable.  
Multyfeed  
External unit consisting of a parabolic dish antenna as well as several LNBs, suitable for  
receiving signals from several satellites.  
Operational voltage:  
The LNBs are supplied with power by means of the coaxial cable. In order to provide this,  
the receiver must supply power at 14 or 18 volt.  
Parabolic dish (antenna):  
A reflector of metal or coated plastic, shaped in a parabolic form, used to focus the electro-  
magentic waves broadcast by a satellite in a focal point.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
40  
Polarisation plane:  
In order to better utilise the available frequency range, satellites will transmit neighbouring  
programmes with opposite polarisation (horizontal and vertical, or dextro-rotatory and laevo-  
rotatory). In order to receive both polarisation planes, either two single LNBs or one V/H LNB  
are required.  
Receiver: see Satellite receiver  
Satellite:  
Description of a satellite usually includes its name as well as its orbital position.  
ASTRA  
EUTELSAT  
19° East  
13° East  
Satellite Receiver:  
The signals received and modulated by the LNB cannot be processed by the TV set. The  
receiver alters the frequency of these signals so that usable audio and video signals (AV) are  
generated at its outputs, which are transmitted to the TV set.  
SCART:  
Type of connector used in conjunction with TV sets, video players, satellite receivers and  
other electronic equipment in order to transmit audio and video signals (AV).  
Software update:  
Digital television is a new medium, which offers improved sound and image quality as well as  
the facility to utilise interactive services. These new services are constantly being developed  
and improved by providers. In order to use these services optimally, it may be necessary to  
update the software of your receiver occasionally.  
Transponder:  
Piece of equipment in the satellite that processes one or more programmes, including recei-  
ving the data from the ground station, amplification, retransmission of data back to earth.  
Universal LNB:  
Name given to a three-band LNB. It is able to receive the following ranges: FFS (10.70-11.70  
GHz), BBS (11.70-12.50 GHz) and FFS High Band (12.50-12.75 GHz). This whole range is  
usually divided into two bands:  
Low Band:

Switching on and off  
>

Switch the receiver on by pressing the On/Standby key on the front panel of the  
receiver, or on the remote control unit.  
Press the key again, either on the front panel of the receiver or on the remote control,  
to switch the receiver off.  
The receiver is now in standby mode, and the display will show the current time.  
Selecting a programme/channel  
Using the up/down arrow keys:  
>
You may use the up/down arrow keys, either on the receiver or on the remote con-  
trol, to move up or down the selected programmes/channels one step at a time.  
Using the numeric key pad:  
>
Use the numeric keys to directly enter the number of the programme/channel you  
wish to view. For instance  
for programme slot 1  
1
1, then 4  
2, then 3, then 4  
for programme slot 14  
for programme slot 234  
When entering programme/channel numbers with more than one digit, you have approx. 3  
seconds after pressing the last key to continue with the entry.  
If you are entering a channel number with only one or two digits, we recommend you press  
the OK key after entering the digit(s) in order to speed up the process.  
Using the programme/channel list:  
>
Press the key OK.  
A list of programmes will be displayed.  
When operating in TV mode, a list of TV programmes only will be displayed, when operating  
in Radio mode, a list of radio programmes only will be displayed. The programme/channel  
currently selected will be displayed in red.  
>
You can now proceed to select a programme by using the up/down arrow keys;  
the selected programme will be displayed in blue.  
Press the OK key for the selected programme to be viewed.  
The up/down arrow keys allow you to scroll through the programme list one entry  
at a time.  
>
>
>
The left/right arrow keys allow you to page through the programme list one page  
at a time.  
Volume adjustment  
You have the facility to adjust the volume directly in your receiver, as opposed to adjusting  
this via your TV set controls. This makes operation even more convenient, as you now have  
all important functions combined on one remote control unit, and will have to use the remote  
control of your TV set only very rarely. Whenever the receiver is switched on, the volume set-  
ting used last will be set again.  
>
Use the Volume + key to increase the volume of your receiver, and the Volume -  
key to reduce the sound volume.  
>
Press the Sound on/off key to mute the sound completely. Pressing the same key  
again will restore the sound.
