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
- 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

• Analogue video outlet via Cinch sockets
• Optical digital audio output
2.6 Environmental note

To disconnect the satellite receiver from the mains supply, we recommend switching
this off using the mains switch at the back of the device.
button to switch to stand-by.
3 Important note on safety and set up
• Only operate the device at the voltage indicated on the back of the device.
• 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!
• Do not place any vessels containing liquids on the satellite receiver.
• Damages caused by tampering or improper handling are excluded from the warranty.
