1.2 Accessories for satellite receivers
You can find out more about the extensive GSS range of accessories for satellite receiving devices at your specialist dealer or at the website of
Grundig SAT Systems GmbH: http://www.gss.tv.
1.3 Digital satellite reception
To use this device you need a satellite receiving device that must be prepared for receiving digital signals. Unlike analogue satellite broadcasting, digital TV or radio channels
are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, several TV and/or radio channels
are transmitted by a single transponder using the same frequency.
To help you with the choice and settings for satellite stations, a selection of TV and radio
stations have already been programmed for this device. You can use the channel search
to find new satellite channels that are not yet in the channel list of your device.
You can also compile your favourite channels and store them in four separate channel
lists.
1.4 Special features of your digital recorder
This digital recorder can receive and record free satellite channels as well as certain
encoded digital satellite channels via common interface.
To ensure that your digital recorder always uses the latest software, we recommend that
you update the operating software (see page 38).
The electronic programme guide provides an overview of all the stations‘ programmes
for the next few hours. You can call up detailed information on each TV programme at
the touch of a button.
This digital recorder has a comprehensive, easy-to-use menu system. It is displayed on
the television screen and the functions of the remote control buttons are explained. In
addition to the receiver unit, the digital recorder also has a hard disk with a capacity
of 80 Gbyte.
The technology used enables the simultaneous recording of a SAT programme and playback of a recorded programme. This procedure is used for the time shift (time-delayed
television).

1.5 The common interface
Common interface (CI) is the interface for DVB receivers (digital recorders, set top boxes
etc.) for decoding encoded channels. The smart card required for decoding is available
at the broadcasting station. This device has a common interface (CI) slot for this smart
card and the corresponding CI module.
2 Set-up and safety
• This digital recorder 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 socket is easily accessible.
• If the digital recorder 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 recorder to any moisture. The digital recorder 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.
• Make sure that the digital recorder is ventilated adequately.
• Do not use the device close to heating units or in direct sunlight.
• Place the device on a flat, solid surface for use.
•
If placed in a cabinet, make sure there is a minimum space of approx. 10 cm
around it!
• Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off,
it can be damaged by a stroke of lightning to the mains or the antenna cable. Therefore always disconnect the device from the mains and from the antenna unit during a
thunderstorm.
• Never open the device under any circumstances. No liability is accepted for any damage caused by incorrect handling.
Environmental note
If you do not intend to use the digital recorder for some time (for example at night), we
recommend that you switch it with

– If the digital recorder no longer reacts properly to remote
control commands or if the message “Low Battery!” appears, we recommend that the batteries are changed.
– Always remove used batteries.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage result-
ing from leaking batteries.
– The first time you use the digital recorder after changing
batteries, the message “ Low Battery!” appears. Ignore
this message.

5.7 Reception of signals from encoded satellite channels
This digital recorder has a common interface (CI) slot. It allows you to connect a CI
module for various encryption systems and broadcasting stations. Encoded channels
can only be viewed with a CI module suitable for the encoding system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card has all the functions for authorization, decoding
and subscription.
Note:
Follow the operating instructions of the corresponding manufacturer for the CI
module.
• Insert the smart card into the CI module in such a way that
the chip on the smart card faces the thicker side (top) of the
CI module (1.).
• Rotate CI module with inserted smart card 180° around the
longitudinal axis (bottom facing upwards, see illustration opposite).
• Insert the CI module with the bottom facing upwards into the
common interface slot “CI-MODULE” (2.).
