Digital satellite reception

In order to use your new DSR 2530 digital receiver you need a
digital-compatible satellite antenna, which must be installed and
aligned to the required satellites (for example Astra and
EutelSat/Hotbird).

Unlike analogue satellite broadcasting, digital TV or radio stations
are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, several TV
and/or radio are “transmitted” by a single transponder.

To help you with the choice and settings for satellite stations, a selec­tion of TV and radio stations have already been programmed for
you. So that all the satellite stations that have since gone on air are
available to you, you can start a station search.
To find out how it works and what you have to do, read page 26 of
this manual.

Of course, you can easily program “new” stations yourself. 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 receiver

The DSR 2530 digital receiver can receive and process all unen­crypted digital satellite stations.

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

To ensure that your digital receiver always uses the latest station
information and operating software, you must first perform an
update.
Using the Astra 19.2° East satellite, you can update the device soft­ware of the satellite receiver.
To find out how it works and what you have to do, read page 32 of
this manual.

The TV guide also tells you of any schedule changes at short notice,
and provides an overview of all the stations’ schedules for the next
few hours.
You can call up detailed information on each TV programme at the
touch of a button.

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

SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________

To ensure that that this high quality, easy-to-use digital receiver
gives you lasting entertainment and enjoyment, please note the
following information.

This digital receiver is designed to receive, record and play back
video and audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

When setting up the digital receiver, make sure it is in a horizontal
position and that the mains socket is easily accessible.

Please note when setting up the digital receiver that furniture sur­faces are coated with various types of paint and plastic, which often
contain chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to
the feet of the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the
furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

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

Do not expose the digital receiver to any moisture.
The digital receiver is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it
outdoors, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as
rain or splashing water. Do not place any vessels such as vases on
the digital receiver. These may be knocked over and spill fluid on
the electrical components, thus presenting a safety risk.

Do not place the digital receiver close to heating units or in direct
sunlight, as this will impair cooling. Place the digital receiver on a
hard, level surface. Do not lay any objects such as magazines on
the digital receiver. When placed in a cabinet, make sure there is a
minimum space of 10 cm around it.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the
digital receiver player 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.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected
the external devices and the antenna.
