DECODER
HIFI AMPLIFIER
3.1 Outdoor unit and television set
a) Connect the receiver with the LNB of the outdoor equipment using a special coax cable (TechniSat Coax-
Sat 2050).
b) If available,connect the ferrite polarizer to the polarizer terminal clips.To fasten the cables you may want to
remove the polarizer plug from the receiver.
c) Connect the receiver to a socket of 230 V/50 Hz.When the LNB input is short-circuited, the receiver switches
off
the LNB supply voltage and displays
a
blinking danger signal "Sh-C" (short
circuit). Unplug the connector and eliminate the short circuit.
d) Use a SCART cable to connect the receiver (SCART input "TV") with the television set (SCART input). If your
television set does not automatically switch to AV (audio/video) operation, you have to switch manually.
When receiving D or D2 MAC channels the receiver also supplies a so-called RGB signal. If your TV set has corre-
sponding inputs, it automatically switches to RGB operation when the RGB/FBAS switch is in "RGB" position. This
makes best picture quality possible.When PAL channels are received the switch position is ineffective.

e) If your television set does not have an AV input, you can also connect the receiver's antenna output to the
antenna input of the television set using an antenna cable. Plug the cable coming from the antenna into
the antenna input.
Your television set has to be adjusted to the transmission channel of the receiver.
>
>
>
switch to "TSG" (test signal) on the receiver

adjust the television set to channel 39
If channel 39 is occupied by a channel that can be received via antenna, you can adjust a
different transmission channel in the range of 32 to 42.

>
adjust unoccupied channel on the television set
use a little screwdriver to turn " + - " (channel) until the test picture is displayed
CH
>
>

3.2 Hifi amplifier
f)
In order to achieve maximum sound quality the receiver can be connected to a Hifi amplifier. Use an ade-
quate amplifier input (e.g. CD, Aux; Warning, the "phono" input is not appropriate!) to link it with the recei-
ver's audio R/L cinch jacks.
3.3 Video cassette recorder (VCR)
g) Connect the video recorder to the SCART input "VCR".
When the video cassette recorder is used, it supplies the receiver with a switch signal in
order to redirect its audio and video signals to the SCART input "TV" and, when the recei-
ver is switched on,also to the antenna output.When using the video recorder via the SCART
output, the receiver should not be set to a MAC channel in order to avoid image interfe-
rences.
3.4 External decoder
h) In addition to the installed Eurocrypt decoder you can connect another decoder to the
SCART input "DECODER". To adjust to different decoder types you can select "DEC.MODE"
on the receiver's back panel to switch between 4 decoder signals.
A: unapplied, unfiltered, without deemphasis ("flat")
B: unapplied, unfiltered, with deemphasis (baseband)
C: unapplied, filtered, with deemphasis (video unapplied)
D: applied, filtered, with deemphasis (video applied)
Find out from the operating instructions of the decoder which signal is necessary.
When the channel also encodes the audio signals,set the switch "AUDIO INT/EXT" on the recei-
ver’s back panel to "EXT" and the audio signals of the receiver are led to the decoder.
When the external decoder supplies an RGB signal (e.g. text displays) the two left display ele-
ments indicate "= =" on the receiver.

Subscription:
You can subscribe certain kinds of programmes for a certain period of time.What you have to
pay is independent of what you actually watch.
In the submenu you find a table that tells you which categories you have subscribed for which
period of time and at which level.
Extensive lists that do not fit on the screen are divided into several pages.Select PAGE to scroll
from one page to the other.
The following kinds of programmes ("categories") are fixed:
- art
- entertainment
- music
- children´s programmes
- movies
- news
- clublife
- lifestyle
- series
- sports
- mini series
- documentaries
- special programmes
- science
- nature
- all programmes
Some programmes come with graded access levels.The issuer can bind programme catego-
ries to bundles.
Subscription/class:
This kind of subscription works in a similar way,the only difference is that there are "classes" repre-
sented by code numbers instead of " programme categories".
Booked view:
You can select and buy certain programmes with the help of a programm preview.The price
does not depend on which of the leased programmes you actually watch.
The submenu shows a list of the programmes you have leased.
Pay per view:
The Eurocrypt card has an account that is reduced when watching TV (similar to a telephone
card).That means you only pay for the programmes you are actually watching.
The submenu informs you of the programmes that are available and their price. At the same
time the following question is displayed:
Do you want to buy this programme?
Yes
No
If you answer with yes, the decoding procedure starts. Otherwise the question is repeated in
certain periods of time.
At the beginning of the submenu a list shows the programmes that you have payed for befo-
re.
The last two lines give you an overview of your pay per view credit account with the respec-
tive provider.

5.1 Preprogrammed channel tables
The receiver is preprogrammed for the reception of 396 television and radio channels. The
channels are listed on
4 tables which can be found in chapter 6.2.
Table 1: channels from ASTRA 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D: Unysat LNB LOF 9.75 GHz
Table 2: channels from ASTRA 1A, 1B, 1C: LOF 10.0 GHz
Table 3: channels from different satellites for CombySat LNB
Table 4: channels from different satellites for Tripleband LNB
Additionally,there is a user table which you can use to customize your channel collection.This
table is identified with "F" on the display.For a device in factory configuration,this corresponds
to table 1.
You can select individual channels from a table without modifying the user table.

6.2.1 General
On MAC broadcasting services the two numbers of the digital sound channels which are set
when you select "normal" or "favoured" are preprogrammed instead of the two audio fre-
quencies.
This is why the audio column of the table reads
dig n#
f#
(# meaning one of the numbers from 1 to 8).
