Receiving digital satellite channels

In order to use your new DSR 4530 HDD digital recorder you need
a digital-compatible satellite antenna, which must be installed and
aligned to the satellites (for example Astra and EutelSat/Hotbird).

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

To help you with the choice and settings for satellite channels, a
selection of TV and radio stations have already been programmed
for this device. You can start a channel search to ensure that any
new satellite channels are available on your device.
How this works and what you need to remember can be found on
page 39 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.

Recording digital satellite channels

Television programmes can be recorded on the integrated
hard drive of the digital recorder.

Using the time shift function you can watch television programmes
with a time shift which are stored in the time shift memory. You can
stop these programmes and continue playback at the same point.

Special features of your digital recorder

The DSR 4530 HDD 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.

Television programmes can be recorded on the integrated hard
drive of the digital recorder.

So that your new digital receiver always works with 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 digital
recorder’s software.
How this works and what you need to remember can be found on
page 41 of this operating manual.

The TV guide tells 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 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___________________________

ǵ

ON/OFF

DSR 4530 HDD

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.

When setting up the digital recorder, remember that furniture is often
coated with various types of varnish 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 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. 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. Maximum ambient temperature +5 °C
to +40 °C.

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 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 devices as well before connecting them.
Do not plug in the power cord of your device until you have connected
the external equipment and the antenna.
