2.1 Intended use

The digital satellite receiver is used to receive digital satellite channels in the private

sector. It is intended exclusively for this purpose. Observe all the information in this

quick start manual, in particular the safety instructions. Any other use is considered

improper and can lead to property damage or personal injury. No liability is accepted

for damage resulting from improper use.

2.2 Safety instructions

For your own protection you should read the safety notes carefully before using the

device. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by inappropriate

handling, or by non-compliance with the safety precautions.

Function-related discharge current may occur with electrical equipment.

This is acceptable and poses no risk, even if it is experienced as a slight tingling.

To prevent such discharge currents, mains operated devices (receivers, TVs etc.)

must always be installed or connected with the power switched o, i.e.

alldevices must be disconnected from the mains.

- The device must only be operated in an appropriate climate.

- To ensure adequate ventilation, place the device on a ﬂat, horizontal surface

and do not place any objects on top of it. There are ventilation slots here to

allow heat to be dissipated from the interior of the unit.

- Do not place any burning objects, such as lit candles, on top of the receiver.

- Do not expose the device to water droplets or water spray, and do not place

any objects ﬁlled with liquid, such as vases, on top of it. If water gets into

the unit, immediately disconnect the mains plug and inform the service

department.

- Do not operate sources of heat near the device that can additionally heat it

up.

- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots with any objects.

- Never open the device! You risk receiving an electric shock. Any necessary

repairs to the receiver should only be carried out by qualiﬁed service

personnel.

In the following circumstances, you should disconnect the device from the mains

power and consult an expert:

> the power cable or mains plug is damaged

> the device has been exposed to moisture or liquid has got into it

> there are signiﬁcant malfunctions

> there is severe external damage.

2.3 Operating breaks

During a storm or lengthy periods of non-use (e.g. holiday), the device should be

disconnected from the mains and the antenna cable removed.

Before you disconnect the receiver from the mains, you should ﬁrst switch it to

standby mode and wait until the red LED light is displayed.

2.4 Important notes on operation

Operation of the digital receiver is simpliﬁed through the use of a so-called "On

control buons.

Functions that are logically related are combined into a "MENU". The selected function

will be highlighted. The red, yellow, blue and green function buons are indicated

by coloured bars at the boom of the screen. These coloured bars represent

dierent functions in the various menus, which can be implemented by pressing

the appropriately coloured buons (multi-function buons) on the remote control.

The function buons are only active when a brief description is displayed in the

appropriate ﬁeld.

The buon identiﬁcations and terms that appear in the OSD menu are shown

inboldtype in this operating manual.

Help: where available, press the blue function buon in the menus to display the

help text; press again to close the help window.

2.5 Important information on data security

4 Basic operation

Dear Customer,

The following section starts by covering basic operation as well as the recurrent steps

for operating the device. This should make it easier to read the quick start manual,

since it avoids repeated description of identical steps at each individual stage.

If a function or seing for the device needs to dier from the basic operation, the

dierence in operation is described in detail at the relevant point in the operating

manual.

The so-called "On Screen Display" (OSD) is used in your device. This simpliﬁes the

operation of your device since the buons on the remote control can perform

dierent functions. This makes it possible to reduce the number of buons.

On this On Screen Display (OSD) the selected functions or seings can be

highlighted.

Furthermore, on the lower edge of the screen there is a line where individual buons

on the remote control are represented with their current functions. In this instruction

manual the terms shown in the OSD as well as the buons to be pressed are

distinguished from the rest of the text by the print format used.

Warning - indicates an important note which you absolutely should observe in

order to avoid problems with the device, loss of data or unwanted operation.

Tip - This identiﬁes information relating to the described function, as well

as to another related function that may have to be taken into account, with

reference to the corresponding section in the manual.

4.1 Switching the device on and o

> When the device is on standby, you can switch it on by pressing the On/

Standby buon on the remote control.

> When operating normally you can switch the device to standby mode by

pressing the On/Standby buon.

To switch the device on/o, also take note of further instructions in the

instruction manual.

4.2 Retrieval of the main menu and menu navigation

numbers, characters and symbols. Aer ﬁrst pressing a numeric keypad key,

the ﬁrst leer of the corresponding row is highlighted.

> Every time the same numeric pad key is pressed, the highlight moves one

ﬁeld to the right. Press until you reach the character you want. This will be

added to the entered term aer a short delay.

The various numeric pad keys are assigned the following displayed leers, numbers,

characters and symbols.

Once you have reached the ﬁeld you want with the highlight, you can

then begin selecting the next character immediately since, in this case,

the character is added directly to the term. If you wish to continue directly

selecting a character from the same numeric pad, you can add the previously

highlighted character to the term by pressing the right arrow key.

8 Timer recordings

Your device has the timer functions (timer type) listed below:

1. DVR timer

This function is used to switch your digital receiver on and o for the selected

broadcast to record the selected programme onto the recording medium while you

are out. If the device has been switched on by the DVR timer, this will be indicated

on the display.

Some menu items are blocked and can therefore not be retrieved or modiﬁed. Please

take into account that under certain circumstances not all programmes can be

recorded.

2. Video recorder timer

This function is used to switch your digital receiver on and o for the selected

broadcast so it can be recorded onto a connected video recorder in your absence.

Please note that, to record programmes, an external video recorder must also

be programmed accordingly. To do so, follow the instructions in the recorder

instruction manual.

3. Channel switching timer

If your device is in normal operating mode, it will switch to the programmed channel

slot at the set time.

In contrast to using thevideo recorder timer option, the device remains fully

functional and will not be switched o at the end of the programme.

4. Alarm timer

If your device is in standby mode, it is switched on to the programmed channel slot

when the set time is reached.

In contrast to using thevideo recorder timer option, the device remains fully

functional and will not be switched o.

5. Series timer

To make it easier to ﬁnd programmes, you can search for programme data

highlighted in the SFI using any terms.

The series timer function is used to automatically generate ongoing DVR timer

seings for the programmes you ﬁnd. Timer generation is also continued aer the

SFI data has been updated. This means that there is no need for repeated manual

programming of timers, e.g. to record episodes in a TV series.

In order to ensure that DVR timers are only automatically generated for the

programmes you want, you must apply the seings with as much detail as

possible. Otherwise the number of generated timers can become very high.

With automatic DVR timer generation, there could be overlaps with other

timers with the possible result that not all timers are executed.

With series timer generation, the seings for the timer lead-in and lead-

out times and Perfect Recording will be taken into consideration. For more

detailed information please consult the instruction manual.

Caution!!!

Ensure that the receiver has read the correct time. This will be displayed in the info

box during normal operation. If this is not the case, leave your device switched to a

major channel such as ZDF for approx. 30 seconds, to read the time.

changing seings.

11 DVR mode

With the DVR function (DVR= Digital Video Recorder) you no longer require an

external recording device to record a programme (e.g. video or DVD recorder), since

you can use this function to record to a connected USB memory.

The recording capacity thus depends on the volume of data in the broadcast material

and the size of the aached storage volume (USB memory).

When recording, the Teletext data and subtitles (where broadcast) are also

recorded as well as the actual audio and video data. You can access these

during subsequent playback.
