Receiving digital satellite channels

In order to use your new DSR 1750 MICRO digital receiver you need a digital-compatible satellite antenna, which must be installed and aligned to the desired satellites (for example Astra and EutelSat/Hotbird).

Unlike broadcasts of analogue satellite channels, not every digital TV or radio station is assigned to one transmission frequency, but several TV and/or radio stations are broadcast by one transponder.

To help you with the choice and settings for satellite channels, a selection of TV and radio stations have already been preprogrammed for this device. You can start a channel search to ensure that any new satellite channels are available on your device. You can find out how this works and what you need to observe on page 29 of this operating manual.

Of course, you can easily program new satellite channels. You can find the latest transponder information on the teletext pages of various broadcasters, in a current satellite TV magazine or on the Internet.

Special features of your Digital Satellite Receiver

The DSR 1750 MICRO digital receiver can receive and process all unencrypted digital channels.

This digital receiver has a built-in digital receiver unit for satellite channels. The receiver unit converts the signals from digital satellite channels to provide outstanding audio and picture quality.

To ensure your new digital receiver always uses the latest program data and operating software, it is first necessary to conduct an update. Using the Astra 19.2° East satellite, you can update the device software of the satellite receiver. You can find out how this works and what you need to observe on page 32 of this operating manual.

The TV guide informs you of any schedule changes at short notice, and also provides an overview of all the channels’ schedules for the next few hours. Detailed information on individual television programmes is available at the touch of a button.

This digital receiver has a highly comprehensive, user-friendly menu system. The menu is displayed on the television screen, and the functions of the remote control buttons are explained.

This receiver is fitted with the Digi 200 chassis for upgrading GRUNDIG televisions. The user guide for the receiver can be integrated into the television user guide by following a brief installation procedure. The receiver can be controlled with the television remote control once it is installed. The remote control, infrared receiver and power supply for the receiver will then no longer be necessary.

GENERAL INFORMATION__________________

SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________

To ensure that this high-quality and user-friendly digital receiver provides you with many years of entertainment, please observe the following instructions:

This digital receiver set is designed to receive video and audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

When setting up the device, make sure the mains plug is easily accessible.

If the digital receiver is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for example when brought in from the cold to a warm room, leave it to stand for at least two hours before you connect it to the mains supply.

Do not expose the digital receiver to moisture of any kind. The digital receiver is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as rain or splashing water.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the digital receiver is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

Never open the digital receiver casing under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Note:

Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on.

Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it. Do not plug in the power supply of your device until you have

connected the external equipment and the antenna. Make sure the power supply is freely accessible.

BASIC SETTINGS __________________________________

Initial setup

There are several way to set stations on your Digital Satellite Receiver

In option 1, you select the menu language for your device, the country in which your Digital Satellite Receiver is situated and any alterations required for your TV device. The Digital Satellite Receiver is already preprogrammed with stations of the Astra 19.2° East satellite. No further settings are necessary. The preprogrammed stations are transferred to the channel list.

You should use Option 2 if you wish to receive stations from various satellites and are familiar with the configuration of the reception system (antenna, LNB frequencies, multiswitch). The settings are described on page 14.

Searching for new stations

New satellite channels are frequently added or satellite data is changed. We therefore recommend that you start an automatic search from time to time on the digital receiver. The settings are described on page 29.

If the station search does not find a particular station automatically, it can search for it using the manual search. To do this all the parameters for the station must be correctly entered. You can find the latest transponder information on the teletext pages of various broadcasters, in a current satellite TV magazine or on the Internet. These settings are described on page 30.
