and also helps to reduce the number of kews required on the  
remote control unit. All functions are indicated on the screen,  
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.

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.  
11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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)

of new programmes found will be displayed. In addition, you  
will be prompted (Fig. 5-14) to decide whether you want to  
automatically include the programmes found in the TV or  
Radio lists. If you decide to include the programmes automati-  
cally, you can then decide whether they should be included in  
the Favourites list in sorted or unsorted form.  
(Fig. 5-13)  
If the programmes found are accepted in sorted form,these  
are sorted into the Favourites list in accordance with a pre-  
programmed system. This means that the order in which the  
programmes are included is primarily based on the audio  
language, as selected in the installation step Audio language.  
If German has been selected as the audio language, the  
sorting order can be further differentiated in terms of the cou-  
ntry seleced in the installation step Country (Germany, Austria  
or Switzerland).  
If the new programmes are accepted in unsorted form, then  
the newly found programmes are simply added in unsorted  
order at the end of the Favourites list.

your television set. If you experience problems on your televi-  
sion set, e.g. an overlay of video text over the picture content,  
you should change the setting of your digital receiver to FBAS  
mode (Point 6.3.4).  
7.12.2 Using the internal video text decoder

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

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

westerly direction. If there are any obstacles within the  
rotating range of the antenna, such as walls or  
chimnies,these must definitely be considered when setting  
the easterly and westerly limits.  
(Fig. 9-3)  
If there are no obstacles within the rotating range of the dish,  
then set the limits of the rotation in such a manner that the  
dish can move a little further than is strictly speaking required  
to receive signals from the most extremely positioned  
satellites.

follows:  
The full degree figures remain unchanged by the calculation.  
The minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal  
point. The result of this division is added to the degree figure.  
The seconds are not considered at all, as they do not affect  
the first decimal point.

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

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.  
1. IF = Interim frequency
