2Introduction
dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your household electrical wiring, without the
need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.
The available performance and effort required for the
installation also compares favourably to traditional
methods—dLAN technology now attains speeds you
would expect from other LAN technologies, and installing it is a breeze!

8 Introduction
2.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household
power grid to transfer data between computers
equipped with suitable adapters and other network
components. As a result, any power outlet can be used
as a network access point. The data is modulated prior
to transfer and sent as a signal via household power
lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the
power and data networks do not interfere with one another. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key to prevent easy interception by third parties.
With dLAN adapters, not only network signals can easily be transferred via the mains supply. Video signals in
HD standard and audio signals in digital CD quality can
be quickly and easily distributed everywhere in the
house this way.
2.2 What does the dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ offer you?
The dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ is a digital receiver which
transfers video and audio signals via the network to the
attached TV set. The network interface enables transfer
rates of up to 200 Mbps in the HomePlug AV standard.
The device is combined with a TV and radio programme which enables you to watch TV programmes
and listen to radio on your television set.
The highlights:
쎲 Reception of digital satellite TV with encrypted
(pay TV) or unencrypted transmissions in full HD
to DVB S2 standard to any TV set in the home – all
without antenna cables
쎲 HbbTV—modern videotext sent from the Internet
by dLAN to the TV set; an extra dLAN AV adapter
is required.
쎲 Reception of DVB-S2 radio content
쎲 DLNA—dLAN networking with the media server,
e.g., for playing videos and/or music on the TV
set; an extra dLAN AV adapter is required.
쎲 Foolproof installation—connection of the
dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ to your TV set using a conventional HDMI or SCART cable. The connection
to the power and dLAN network is made using the
dLAN 200 AV adapter supplied by devolo and the
included power pack.
쎲 Watch TV and record simultaneously—simply
integrate a second dLAN TV Sat Tuner.
쎲 Electronic programme guide (EPG) for controlling
the integrated video recorder.
쎲 Record TV programmes on an external USB drive

쎲 Digital AV outputs such as HDMI and S/PDIF for
excellent signal transmission to TV and surround

To avoid damage to this or other devices, use the enclosed components only
for their intended purpose:
the dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ is intended
for the reception of DVB-S/S2 satellite
signals and their transfer to the connected TV set(s).
The dLAN 200 AVplus adapter is intended for connecting the
dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ to the dLAN
network.
2.3 Sample applications
dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ and HbbTV via dLAN
HbbTV is a modern kind of video text from the Internet, sent to a TV set. You will need an existing Inter-
net connection which (as shown in figure 2) is
connected via another dLAN AV adapter to the
dLAN home network and therefore to the
dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ and dLAN TV Sat Tuner. This allows dLAN-technology signals and data to be exchanged via the electrical wiring, so the advanced
additional information from the transmitter can be
transferred from the Internet to the TV set. Currently,
not all countries and TV stations offer HbbTV.
You can read how the dLAN TV Sat 2400CI+ operates in Section 4.4.5 Internet set-
tings.
dLAN networking of the dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+
with a media server (DLNA)
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a
standard which simplifies the use of digital
electronic equipment and makes it easy for
them to be used with home networks. For
more information, go to www.dlna.org.
If a DLNA media server (e.g. PC with Windows 7 operating system, a router or NAS (Network Access Server))
is also connected by dLAN to your home network, you
can view photos or videos on your TV and listen to music files stored on this DLNA media server. (see Fig. 2)
Remember you will need an extra dLAN
AV adapter for this system.

쎲 Avoid inserting and removing USB devices in
quick succession. This may damage the USB
device. Do not remove the USB device while a file
is being played back or recorded.
쎲 Also note the following if a high-capacity drive

the dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ to your TV set.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPT./TOSLINK)
You connect the digital audio output on the
dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+ to the corresponding electrical
S/PDIF input on an amplifier.
The sound is normally played back via
the audio output on the TV set. It is
also possible to connect an additional
audio device such as a hi-fi or digitalsurround system to handle playback.
When connecting a device, always
make sure that all other devices are
disconnected from the mains supply.
If you are connecting several devices,
be sure to use the power pack supplied
to provide the electrical device with
12 V DC. Make sure there is a separate
power supply when connecting several
devices.
12 V DC
This is where you connect the dLAN TV Sat 2400-CI+
to the mains supply.
