3BSafety instructions

Safety instructions Please read these safety instructions through carefully, before operating the receiver. Please observe all warnings and instructions on the equipment and contained in these operating instructions.

Basic safety instructions Electrical connections • To avoid fire and danger of electric shock, do not expose the receiver to rain or in other moisture. • Never open the housing. (Danger of electric shock). • Only connect the receiver to a 90–250 V, 50–60 Hz power socket which has been correctly installed by trained personnel. • The plug must be easily accessible, so that in an emergency the receiver can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and easily. • Pull the plug out of the socket if the equipment is not used over a long period of time. Only pull out by the plug. • Avoid exposing the receiver to drops or spraying water. Do not stand any containers holding liquids (a vase, for example) on or over the receiver. (Danger of electric shock). • If foreign bodies or liquids enter the receiver, then immediately pull the plug from the socket. Have properly-trained personnel check the equipment, before operating again. (Danger of electric shock). • The total power input at the receiver’s antenna connection marked “ANT INPUT“ may not exceed 400 mA. • Do not bend or squash the power cable. • Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. (Danger of electric shock). • If the power cable is damaged, it must be repaired by properly-trained personnel before operating again. (Danger of electric shock). • Never allow children to use the receiver without supervision or to play with the antenna equipment. 6

3BSafety instructions

• Always leave maintenance work to properly-trained personnel, not to do so could be dangerous. • Disconnect the receiver from the power source if operating breakdown occurs. Correct positioning • Stand the receiver on a firm, level surface. • Avoid the proximity of sources of heat, for example, radiators, open fires, for example, candles, equipment with strong magnetic fields, for example, loudspeakers. • Avoid direct sunlight and unusually dusty or humid locations. • Avoid shaking the receiver. • Never cover up the ventilation slits. See that there is adequate ventilation. Do not stand any heavy objects on the receiver. • If the receiver is brought from a cold into a warm environment, moisture can form in the interior of the receiver. In this case, wait around two to three hours before operating. • Lay the power and antenna cables so that no-one can trip over or tread on them The correct handling of batteries • Batteries can contain poisonous substances, which can harm the environment. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the current legal requirements. Never dispose of the batteries in normal domestic refuse. • Batteries should not be given to children. Children could place batteries in the mouth and swallow them. • Weak batteries can cause damage to the remote control. If the receiver is not used for a long period of time, then remove the batteries from the remote control.

5BDescription

Description With this equipment digital satellite channels can be received using a satellite antenna. The receiver does not need to be programmed, all programmes transmitted at the time of delivery over the Astra, Hotbird and Turksat satellites are already pre-programmed. The channels transmitted by a satellite can be received as soon as the receiver is connected up to an antenna pointing at a satellite. The receiver searches for the channels as soon as the automatic search function for this satellite is started. All functions of the receiver can be operated using the remote control. All receiver settings can easily be effected by means of the menu on the TV screen. The on-screen menu supports the following languages: • German, • English, • Arabic, • French, • Italian, • Russian, • Spanish • Turkish, • Farsi, • Dutch, • Greek and • Hungarian. The receiver can update software over the Astra satellite.

6BOverview of the equipment

Connecting up the receiver The receiver is connected by means of an LNB cable to the connection socket of the satellite antenna. Before connecting the receiver an LNB cable may have to be installed.

L

An LNB cable is not supplied.

Danger! The braided sheath and the internal conductor of the LNB cable are under current during operation. Whilst operating, do not touch the LNB cable. (Danger of injury through electric shock!)

Caution! Before connecting up, remove all packaging from the receiver otherwise the receiver could be damaged.

Caution! Only connect up the receiver to the power source after all equipment and the antenna have been correctly connected. Otherwise the receiver could sustain damage.

14

6BOverview of the equipment

Installing the LNB cable For installing an IF plug on the co-axial cable wire strippers and cutting pliers will be required. Cut off 8mm co-axial cable down to the internal core at both ends. Carefully cut 10mm of external isolation material off, so that the braided sheath is showing. Turn back the braided sheath and turn it over the outer isolation material, ensuring that it does not touch the internal core Remove the internal isolation material up to 2mm before the braided sheath. Turn the IF plug onto the turned-back braided sheath until the plug meets the internal isolation material..

L

The braided sheath should not protrude behind the end of the plug.

Shorten the internal core with cutting pliers, so that it protrudes at most 1mm out of the plug.

Connection of a SCART cable Screw the IF plug of the LNB cable on to the receiver’s antenna input marked “ANT INPUT“. Plug the SCART cable into the receiver’s SCART connection marked “TV“. Connect the SCART cable with the TV set. Observe the operating instructions of the TV set. If a video cassette recorder is to be connected, then plug a SCART cable in the receiver’s SCART connection marked “VCR”. Connect the SCART cable with the video cassette recorder. Observe the operating instructions of the video cassette recorder. If a music centre is to be connected, then plug the cinch cable in the receiver’s sockets marked “AUDO R” and “AUDIO L”.

15

6BOverview of the equipment

Caution! Never connect the phono input of the music centre to the receiver, as this can damage the music centre. Do observe the instructions regarding the connection of a cinch cable contained in the operating instructions of the music centre.

L

Cinch cables for audio and video are not supplied

Connect the cinch cable to the music centre.

L

The TV set does not need to be switched on for radio reception.

Connection of a digital audio receiver If the 5-channel audio transmission (Dolby Digital Sound/AC3) is to be used, then the digital audio receiver must be connected to the optical or co-axial output of the receiver..

Caution! Please observe the instructions regarding the connection contained in the digital audio receiver’s operating instructions.

L

An optical cable and co-axial cable are not supplied.

Connecting the co-axial digital output Remove the protective cap from the receiver’s socket marked ”DIGITAL AUDIO (CO-AXIAL)“. Plug the optical cable in the receiver’s socket marked “DIGITAL AUDIO (CO-AXIAL)“. Connect the optical cable to the digital audio receiver.

RAPS What is RAPS? All currently-transmitted TV and radio channels are already stored on the receiver on delivery. RAPS (Receiver Automatic Programme Search) updates the list of channels and allows the automatic addition of new channels or the deletion of discontinued channels. RAPS saves the effort of seeking and programming these changes. When the receiver is switched on, RAPS checks if there are new channels available. New channels are automatically included in the channel listing and shown on the screen as such. When channels are finally terminated, the corresponding places in the listing are also automatically deleted. Parallel to this a personal list can be drawn up (within the list of favourites) or switch off RAPS at any time using the “Works Settings”.
