Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you very much for choosing our Satellite Receiver.
You have selected a receiver of our new generation – the experience of 10 years
of digital transfer technology go into our FaVal Receivers.
Please read through the operating instructions carefully to prevent
malfunctioning of the device. Please particularly observe the safety information.
Non-observance can lead not only to damage in the device, but also to personal
injury.
Your receiver is preinstalled in the delivery condition and changes do not
normally need to be made in the satellite settings. This makes the first
installation especially convenient.
Should unexpected problems arise, see the chapter entitled “Eliminating
malfunctions”. Your specialized dealer will also be glad to speak with you and
provide assistance.
Our dedication in the development of high quality entertainment electronics will
certainly ensure your satisfaction in the future with our range of products.
We wish you good reception.

Safety Information
Read the operating instructions thoroughly before connecting the device.
• Operate the device only on mains with a corresponding power connect ion.
• Operate the device near an outlet and configure it freely accessibly for safety
reasons.
• The digital receiver must be disconnected from the mains before it is
connected to an LNB, Mult iswitch or TV set and video recorder. Otherwise
the device could be damaged.
• Make sure the device stands free. Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm to the
left and right and 50 cm above from other devices and furniture parts where
you operate the device.
• Make sure all ventilation holes are free and adequate air can circulate
through the device. Do not put other electronic devices on the receiver. Do
not place objects such as newspapers, magazines, table cloths on the device.
Make sure the ventilation grids are not covered by net curtains or curtains.

• To make the device completely free of tension, you must unplug the power
cable from the outlet. If you do not use the device for a long time, unplug the

• To protect your receiver, switch it off during thunderstorms and unplug the
power plug and antenna cable. This protects your receiver from damage.
• Do not touch the power cable with wet hands!
• Make sure you have made all connections before you connect the device to
the power network.
