2 General information

2.1 Packing contents

– DRS 550 HDMI – Remote control and 2 batteries (2 x 1.5 V, e.g. UM-3 or AA type batteries) – HDMI cable – Operating Instructions Updates for the operating instructions can be found on the website of

GSS Grundig SAT Systems GmbH: ”http://www.gss.tv”.

2.2 Accessories for satellite receivers

You can find out more about the extensive GSS range of accessories for satellite receivers at your specialist dealer or at the website of GSS Grundig SAT Systems GmbH: ”http://www.gss.tv.”

2.3 Receiving digital satellite channels

To use this satellite receiver you require a satellite system that must be prepared for receiving digital signals. Unlike analogue satellite broadcasting, digital TV or radio stations are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, several TV and/or radio stations are transmitted by a single transponder using the same frequency.

- 5 -

ENGLISH

Page 6

- 6 -

To help you with the choice and settings for satellite channels, a selection of TV and radio stations have been preprogrammed for this device. New channels, which are not yet featured in the channel list on your satellite receiver, can be found using the channel search.

2.4 Special facilities of your satellite receiver

This satellite receiver allows you to receive both free-to-air as well as encrypted digital satellite channels from various encryption systems using the Common Interface slots (see page 56), and to record them using a storage device (e.g. hard disc, USB stick) connected to the USB port. To ensure that your satellite receiver always uses the latest software, we recommend that you update the operating software from time to time (see page 40). This satellite receiver has a comprehensive, user-friendly menu system. It is displayed on the television screen and the functions of the remote control buttons are explained. The technology used allows the simultaneous recording of a SAT program and playback of a recorded program when an external storage device is connected. This procedure is used for the so-called “time shift” (time-delayed television).

2.5 Features of your satellite receiver

• 10-character, alphanumeric display

• Common Interface slot

Your satellite receiver is equipped with a Common Interface slot. It allows you to

connect two CA modules for various encryption systems and service providers. Encrypted channels can only be decoded with a CA module suitable for the encryption system and the corresponding Smart card. The Smart card contains all the information for authorisation, decoding and subscription.

The CA module and the corresponding Smart card can be obtained from the de-

sired service provider.

• 4,000 radio and television stations can be stored.

• Blind and fast scan

• You can save your preferred channels in individual lists of favourites.

• DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 and Unicable mode

DiSEqC means “Digital Satellite Equipment Control”. This is a circuit system which

controls the polarisation and the frequency bands. The Unicable mode is used to control the satellite receiver in reception systems with Unicable-LNBs or Unicable multi-switches.

• The electronic program guide EPG informs you about the complete range of channels from the various broadcasters. Detailed information on individual television programs is available at the touch of a button.

• Using the HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface), high definition picture signals and sound signals are provided digitally.

• Using the USB port an external storage device (e.g. hard disc, USB stick) can be connected.

• SCART sockets for connecting TV and recorder

• SAT input with loop-through output

• Analogue audio outlet via Cinch sockets

• Never open the device under any circumstances. Only specialist qualified specialist staff may work on the inside of the device.

• Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off, it can be damaged by lightning striking into the mains or the antenna cable. Therefore, always disconnect the satellite receiver from the mains and from the antenna unit during a thunderstorm.

• This satellite receiver set is designed to receive and display 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 sudden changes in temperature, e.g. 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.

• Never expose the satellite receiver to moisture, as operation is only intended in dry rooms. Should you however operate it outdoors, protect it from any moisture (rain, splashing water etc.).

• Make sure that the satellite receiver is ventilated adequately.

• Do not operate the device close to heating units or in direct sunlight.

• Place the satellite receiver on a hard, level surface.

• When operating on a shelf, observe the minimum interval of approx. 10 cm on both the sides and the top!

8.5 Adjusting the satellite receiver to the reception system

This satellite receiver was factory pre-programmed to be ready for operation with most satellite antennas and Universal-LNB configurations. For operation on satellite receiving systems with a Unicable-LNB or a Unicable multi-switch the satellite receiver must be set accordingly. Unicable refers to a type of installation allowing several satellite receivers can be connected to a Unicable-LNB or to a Unicable multi-switch using one cable. For each of the satellite receivers connected, the independently-selectable satellite channels are transmitted on a frequency assigned to the respective satellite receiver. Changes in this menu have a direct effect on the reception characteristics of the satellite receiver and should therefore only be made by an expert. This menu allows you to set the following parameters for adjusting the satellite receiver to the reception system:

- Selection of the LNB-type (Universal/Unicable)

- Satellite selection

- Lower oscillator frequency of the LNB

- Upper oscillator frequency of the LNB

- Band changeover

- DiSEqC settings

- IF frequency (Unicable only)

- IF channel (Unicable only) Signal quality and signal strength are also displayed.

Next to the menu line all the relevant, current settings can be viewed. The lettering in non-active lines is displayed in grey.

The setting “ Unicable LNB” is necessary when the satellite receiver is to be connected directly to a Unicable-LNB. Use the setting “ Unicable Switch” when the satellite receiver is to be connected to a satellite reception system with a Unicable multi-switch.

17 Recording programs

17.1 Preparations

17.1.1 Conn ecting a storage device

A hard disc as well as a USB stick can be connected to the USB port. The storage devices must be formatted to FAT32.

• Connect the storage device as per chapter 5.3, page 12.

17.1.2 Formatting storage devices

In case the storage device to be used does not comply with the required data format, you can format this accordingly.

17.2 General to the recording functions

The technology used for this satellite receiver allows the simultaneous recording of a SAT program and playback of a recorded program when an external storage device is connected. This procedure is used for the so-called “ Time shift”. Time shift means that you can record a program and start to play it from the beginning e.g. delayed in time by 30 minutes while it is still being recorded. Another option for using the time shift is e.g. the following situation: You are watching a film and the telephone rings. Now simply switch “Time shift” on and continue to watch the film, from the time of the interruption on, after returning. The saved programs are stored in the “ Video/Video library” memory.
