the user guide of your VCR how to make a
recording from an external receiver.

5. AERIAL MYTHS

Initially, if you use an existing analogue rooftop
or loft aerial now, often there is no need to buy a
new aerial, provided the aerial is in good
condition.

However, if the current aerial or it’s cabling is in
poor condition which results in unsatisfactorily
reception, you could improve this with a new
aerial suitable for digital terrestrial reception.

You can receive excellent digital TV and Radio:

■ if the service provider delivers enough

signal (level and quality) to your area;

■ if the indoor or outdoor aerial is healthy

(aerial is clean, in good condition and
correctly aimed);

■ if the connection between the aerial and TV

set is healthy (good quality cable, 75 ohm,
no sharp bends or kinks, metal connectors);

You can, in certain situations, improve the
digital TV and Radio reception:

■ if you use an outdoor aerial, which is not

obstructed by the metalwork that is used in
the building construction,

■ if you use an active aerial for situations

where you have a long cable between the
aerial and the receiver.

IF IN DOUBT

Please check with your retailer first in case you
need to upgrade your rooftop or loft aerial.

NOTE
In some parts of the UK, FREEVIEW signals

use a different frequency or trans mitter from
your existing analogue service and therefore
it is recommended to fit a so called
“wide band” type of aerial.

6. CLEANING

1. Switch the receiver to OFF.

2. Wait at least five seconds, to help avoid
possible damage to the receiver’s
electronics.

3. Use a dry, soft and clean lint-free cleaning
cloth to clean the receiver.

4. If you need to use a detergent, make a mild­soap solution. Other cleaning agents can
cause damage to the outside surface.

a. Make a dry, soft and clean lint-free

cleaning cloth a little damp.

b. Carefully wipe the surface and make sure

that no moisture gets into the receiver.

c. Let the receiver dry on the air.

WARNING

R

ISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

REMOVE THE MAINS PLUG FROM THE POWER

SUPPLY SOCKET BEFORE YOU CLEAN THE
RECEIVER. MAKE SURE, IF USED, CLEANING
AGENTS CANNOT GET IN THE RECEIVER.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE (GUIDE)

The key gives access to the Electronic Program Guide from where you can control the timers
and view the program details.

The Electronic Program Guide makes use of the GUIDE and the colour keys on your Remote
Control Unit to allow for quick access to the different functions. The help line shows you which
colour keys are active for the selected Guide pages. When the Guide shows:

■ The (Red) key;

- gives access to the program information of the previous day;

- lets you scroll through the program details of a program (for synopsis only);

- lets you save the timer settings (for timer only).

■ The (Green) key:

- gives access to the program information of the next day, if available from the service provider,
which can be available for a few hours up until 7 days in advance;

that broadcast a guide offer you program information in advance for a certain period of time.
The Guide is not always available. Sometimes the service provider supplies only the program
name, the now/next information or sometimes nothing at all. EchoStar has no influence on this
matter.

4. THE MAIN MENU STRUCTURE

The main menu has a tree structure where each sub-menu has one or
more option pages. Each sub-menu allows you to customise the settings
to match your installation and preferences. Note that the menu contains
dynamic pages which means that options are, or are not available
depending on the selections you make.

The key gives access to the main menu, that gives you control over
the settings in the Installation menu, the User data menu and the

2. TERMINOLOGY

Active aerial An active aerial has a built-in pre-amplifier which means that the

received signal gets amplified before it is fed to the receiver. The
advantage of this aerial type is that (longer) aerial cables become less
vulnerable for interference. This results in better quality audio and video.

COFDM In the DTT area, COFDM is a form of signal transmission as specified by

DVB-T. The result of the COFDM digital transmission is to provide a
received picture that is always free of ghosts and noise (snow).

Constellation A Constellation is a modulation scheme to improve the transmission.

Known digital frequency modulation schemes are:
QPSK means Quadrature Phase Shift Keying;
QAM16 means 16-state Quadrature Amplitude Modulation;
QAM64 means 64-state Quadrature Amplitude Modulation.

CVBS Composite video is a combination of the three basic elements of a video

picture (colour, brightness, and synchronization) into a single cable with
two wires in it as used in SCART and RCA (Video) connections.

Digital Terrestrial TV Digital Terrestri al Television or DTT is basically a digital TV signal

received through a conventional (indoor or outdoor) TV aerial. Digital
broadcasts give you DVD-quality video and CD-quality audio.

FEC A recover-signal mechanism which is part of the transmission that gives

the receiver software the opportunity to correct for missing or corrupted
data in the received digital signal.

FFT A modulation mechanism which is part of the transmission used to make

the transmitted signal less vulnerable for interference.

Frequency band A frequency band is a range of frequencies which are dedicated to a

certain usage. In the terrestrial broadcast area, commonly known bands
are the VHF-band and the UHF-band.

FTA An unscrambled broadcast which you can view without additional

equipment and payments to a service provider.

Guard interval A timing mechanism which is part of the transmission to prevent

distorted signals due to transmission errors and signal echoes.

Local Channel
Number

Some service providers transmit a preferred channel order to make sure
that during a channel search, all channels are re-arranged in a ‘logical’
order. If this selection is active, you are not able to move the channels
according to your personal preferences.

MUX (Multiplex) In analogue television broadcasting a transmission channel (e.g. UHF

channel 42) has only one TV channel (program) or service. In digital
terrestrial television broadcasting, a transmission channel (e.g. UHF
channel 42) is divided into different sections that can have more than
one TV channel (program) or service. Such a transmission channel
used for digital terrestrial broadcasts is called a MUX.

NTSC USA video standard with image format 4:3, 525 lines, 60Hz and 4MHz

bandwidth with a total of 6MHz video channel width.

PAL European video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines, 50Hz and

4MHz bandwidth with a total of 8MHz video channel width.

PID

(Video, Audio, PCR)

A digital signal is divided into so called packages (as suit cases on a
transport belt). Each packet holds certain information for Video, Audio,
timing and completeness of the packet stream so that the receiver can
compose a distortion free signal for your TV or radio.

QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation is a technique where the signal is

polarized and modulated in order to get more TV or Radio channels into
a physical VHF or UHF channel.

RGB RGB is used to transfer a TV signal in DVD quality. The quality is

superior to SVHS and CVBS.

RS-232 connection A RS-232 connection allows you to connect equipment to the receiver

which supports the RS-232 protocol.

SCART cable A SCART cable is also known as ‘Peritel’ cable and is commonly used in

Europe to connect the audio and video equipment. A fully furnished
SCART cable has 21 wires which is at both sides finished with a 21-pin
connector.

SVHS SVHS means Super-VHS and is superior to a CVBS signal but less then

a RGB signal. Normally it is a single cable consisting of four wires
because the black/white (luminance) is separated from the colour
(chrominance).

Transmission mode The COFDM technology spreads the data between many carrier waves.

The 2k mode has 1705 carriers for higher interference environments
and the 8k mode has 6817 carriers for lower interference environments.

UHF-band Parts of this band (471MHz-860MHz) are dedicated for TV and Radio

broadcasting.

VHF-band Parts of this band (171-470MHz) are dedicated for TV and Radio

broadcasting.
