Receiving digital stations

To use your new DTR 2540 digital receiver you need a digital outdoor or indoor antenna.

Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every station has its own transmission frequency. Instead, several stations are grouped into what are known as bouquets on a regional or national level.

You can find the current transmission information on teletext from various broadcasters, or look in a TV guide or on the Internet.

Special features of your digital receiver

The DTR 2540 digital receiver can receive and process all unencrypted digital stations. This digital receiver has a built-in digital receiver unit. The receiver unit converts the signals from digital stations to provide outstanding audio and picture quality.

The TV guide tells you of any schedule changes at short notice, and provides an overview of all the stations’ schedules for the next few hours.

If the broadcaster provides it, you can call up detailed information on each 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___________________________

C	°C	2h

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.
