This satellite receiver is intended for reception of picture and
sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.
Make absolutely sure that your receiver is not exposed to dripping or splashing water. Protect the receiver from moisture.
In addition, ensure that the ventilation openings are never
obstructed.
Do not place your receiver near sources of heat.
Heat build-up in the receiver is a source of danger and reduces the receiver´s operating life.
When operating the receiver in a wall unit (or in a camper, for
example), maintain distances of at least 10 cm – see illustration.
Even when switched off, the unit may be damaged by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial lead.
During a thunderstorm, you should therefore always disconnect the mains and aerial plugs.
Protect Your Environment!
Attention!
Do not throw used batteries from the remote control handset
in the household waste. Dispose of the batteries at a special
collecting point.
These operating instructions are printed on chlorine-free
paper which helps to protect the environment.
For reasons of ecology, always switch off the receiver with its
mains switch when it is not used for a longer time.
Always keep in mind: Even with the low standby power consumption of 10 W, you will consume 70 kWh within one year.

Connection Examples
Two aerial systems can be connected to the aerial inputs of
the SAT receiver, for example:
Input A: Rotary system. Control takes place via the
"Ant. Control." connections.
Input B: Fixed aerial being directed at the Astra satellite.
EURO-AV sockets for 1 VCR, 1 decoder, and TV
1) Terr. TV reception/SAT VCR recording.
2) SAT TV reception/terr. VCR recording.
3) Terr. TV reception/terr. VCR recording/SAT radio hifi recep-
tion.
4) For VCR playback, the signal path is automatically swit-
ched via the SAT receiver to the TV receiver (also in standby).
To 1) and 2)
If a decoder is connected, this is automatically switched on
(evaluation of the switching voltage).
On decoders without switching voltage, this can be activated
with respect to the programme position when programming
the receiver.

Important Information
General
For the description of the unit´s functions, it is assumed that
the aerial has correctly been installed and that the receiver
has correctly been connected.
Button Lock
When switching the receiver off by means of the POWER
¢
IǼswitch, or with the remote control handset to standby,
the lock is activated again.
Connecting the SAT Receiver to the Television
Best picture quality is obtained when the receiver and the
television are connected by means of a EURO-AV cable (see
connection example). If you possess a television without
EURO-AV socket, make the connection via the built-in modulator with a coaxial cable. The modulator is preset to
channel 36.
If this channel should already be occupied by your video
recorder or a terrestrial station, it is possible to change the
channel (see paragraphe "Modulat. – Adjusting the Modulator
Channel"). You have the choice between channel 25 and
channel 60. The televison must also be tuned to this channel.
16:9 Switching
If a switching voltage (6 V) for the 16:9 picture format is present on the EURO-AV DECODER or VCR socket, this will be
evaluated and passed to the EURO-AV TV socket. Correspondingly equipped TV sets then are automatically switched to
the 16:9 format.
Attention!
Except of the
¢
</>
and ¢Radio buttons, all buttons
are locked to prevent inadvertent operation.
To clear the lock, press one of the locked buttons for more
than 3 seconds.
Selecting the Aerial Input
The receiver is provided with two aerial inputs. Preprogramming in the factory has been made for the standard solution,
comprising one LNC with frequency switching by means of a
14/18 V supply voltage, and polarization switching by means
of a magnetic or mechanic polarizer.
If you wish to implement different solutions, such as, for
example, two-cable distribution in the first IF level (separate
H/V), several aerials, or multi-feed mode, it is necessary to
activate the second aerial input with respect to the programme position.
Press the
¢
V/H button twice, then use the
¢
</>
buttons
to select input A qZor B qU. The display indicates, for example:
Store the setting with the
¢
MEMORY button.
The display indicates again the current programme position.
See also section "Adapting the Polarizer, Installation Menu".
If there should be interferences visible in the form of spikes
(short black or white lines), these can be eliminated by optimizing the input frequency setting. For this, press the
¢
P/F
button and adjust the value giving the best picture on the TV
screen by means of the
¢
</>
buttons.
Store the corrected value in memory by pressing the
¢
MEMORY button.
Hint
The receiver is already preprogrammed to all current programmes from a number of satellites.
See the yellow pages: "Station Table of the Satellite Stations".
If you wish a different programme order, it is very easy to
change the existing order.
For detailed information, see the corresponding explanation
(SORT function in the chapter "The Mode Menu").
