WARNING !!!
Ferguson satellite receivers support recording on external hard disk drives (HDDs) and
flash memories (pendrives). In all instances, the correct operation of the recording
function depends on the type of connected memory! You must read the following
limitations.
REMEMBER:
1. In order to use an external USB memory, the memory must support the USB
2.0 standard. To ensure stable recording and playback, you must use a
memory with a recording speed of 9.0 MB/s or greater. Slower hard disk
drives and flash memories may not function properly, have problems with
recording (image jitter), or not function at all!!!
2. Only disks with one basic NTFS or FAT32 partition (we recommend using the
NTFS format) will function properly. If you do not have such a format, prepare
the disk on your computer before connecting it to the receiver.
3. Highly fragmented or used memories may also not operate smoothly or
correctly.
4. External hard disk drives should be autonomously powered, since the built-in
USB port is unable to provide sufficient power.
CAUSION
1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect the USB device from the receiver during
recording or playback. Disconnecting during operation may cause damage to the receiver and/or
flash memory, and to the recorded data.
2. Do not touch the working device (and in particular the USB connector) with wet hands. Risk
of electric shock and permanent damage to the receiver!

If you move the device from a room that is warm to one that is cold (or vice
versa), wait at min. 1 hour before connecting it to the mains. Otherwise,
problems may arise.
The device should be placed away from vases, bottles, aquariums and other water
containers in order to avoid damage. Do not touch the mains plug with your bare
hands.
Do not place any objects on the housing of the device. This may cause
overheating and reception problems.
Before commencing maintenance or installation work, disconnect the receiver from the mains.

3. Important instructions concerning handling of the receiver
The screen menu (OSD) simplifies operation of the receiver and has made it possible to reduce
the number of keys on the remote control. All of the functions are displayed on the screen and
may be controlled by means of a small number of keys. Common functions have been
connected in one "MENU". The selected function is coloured. Depending on the selected option,
various "function keys" are displayed: red, yellow, green, blue and white in the form of graphics
and descriptions. The colours represent various functions in individual "Menus". The selected
function is activated by pressing a key on the remote control unit. The so-called function keys
are active only when in the appropriate field there is information about it. The user interface
makes it possible to navigate within a menu and between functions in a number of different
ways. Certain buttons on the remote control allow direct access to functions. The buttons are
multi-functional, i.e. their functions depend on previously activated elements.

7. Connecting the cable receiver
The following illustrations show cable connections for a television and other devices connected
with the receiver. If you require any assistance in connecting individual devices, contact your
local technician. Before connecting or altering cabling, disconnect the receiver from the
mains !!!
7.1 Connection by means of an HDMI cable (recommended)
1. Connect the antenna to the Cable IN socket of the receiver.
2. Connect the HDMI to the receiver out and the television in.
Connection by means of an HDMI cable allows you to obtain the highest image quality.
10
If you have an amplifier with an HDMI out and in, which supports sound sent over HDMI,
connect the devices by two HDMI cables. As in the following figure: one cable to theamplifier,
and the other from the amplifier to the television set.
7.2 Connection by means of the YPrPb (component) sockets
1. Connect the antenna to the Cable IN socket of the receiver.
2.Connect the video and audio by means of five cinch cables to the television set.
Three cables, coloured green, blue and red, are used to send the three colour
components. The two remaining cable, red and white, are used to connect sound (right
and left channel).
7.3 Connection by means of SCART cables
1. Connect the antenna to the Cable IN socket of the receiver.
2.Connect the television to the port in accordance with the description. We recommend
using shielded SCART cables.
11
7.4 Connection of an audio system
1. Digital sound (including surround sound, if broadcast) may be obtained through two
sockets: electrical (SPDIF) or optical (OPTICAL). The following figure presents the SPDIF
connection.
2.Stereo sound may be obtained by connecting cinch cables (white and red) for the left and
right channels
7.5 Connection of an external memory
1. The receiver supports all types of hard disk drives in housings that are equipped with an
independent power supply. The sole condition is that the hard disk has to have a single
basic partition that is formatted in the NTSF (recommended) or FAT32 system.
2.We recommend that you regularly archive data on your PC computer. A large number of
files with recordings may slow down cooperation with the receiver (slow loading of the file
list).
3.Connect the memory through the USB port located on the front panel under a tab.
