1. Safety Precautions
This set-top box has been manufactured in accordance with international safety standards.
For your own safety, youshould read the notes on safety precautions carefully, and take note
of them, before operating your new receiver.
For your own safety, please be sure to follow these safety precautions:
Mains power supply: Connect the unit only to a mains power supply that has the following characteristics:
90-260 V AC, 50-60 Hz
Connection to the TV set and video recorder: Here, too, the receiver must be disconnected from the
mains power supply before using a Scart cable to establish connections to the TV set and video recorder.
Optimum location: Set up your digital receiver indoors, in an area where it is protected from lightning,
rain water and direct sunshine. Ensure a minimum distance of 5 cm around the apparatus for sufficient
ventilation. Ensure that the ventilation is not impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such
as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc… Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles
on the apparatus. Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases on the apparatus.
Do not open the unit: Never open the casing, as you are in danger of electrocution!
Protect from humidity: Ensure that no humidity, dampness or liquid can get into the unit. You should
therefore also not position any liquids near the receiver. Do not use any liquid detergents, as these may
damage the unit, and may subject you to high-voltage shock.
Prevent intrusion of foreign matter: The receiver is fitted with small ventilation slits on the top and along
the sides to assist in circulating air. Small objects could fall into these slits, so please do not put any objects
on top of the receiver.
Ensure adequate ventilation: Never cover the ventilation slits on the unit casing. When in operation, the
digital receiver should be placed on a straight and solid base. It should not be placed in direct sunshine
nor too close to a heater or radiator. Ensure there is sufficient free space around the unit for free air
circulation. Use the apparatus only in moderate climates (not in tropical climates).
Protection from lightning: In case of thunderstorms, switch off the receiver, disconnect from the main
power supply, and disconnect the antenna cable from the unit. This will prevent your appliances being
damaged when there is a thunderstorm in your area.
Use only original parts and accessories: Use only original parts, or parts recommended by a specialist
retailer, as other parts may cause damage to the appliance, or bear the risk of personal injury. Nonobservance of this warning cancels the unit guarantee. Any repairs should only be carried out by qualified
specialist personnel. Take attention to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
Disconnecting power during extended absence: If the appliance is to be unattended for an extended
period of time, e.g. when you go on holidays, you should disconnect it completely from the mains
power supply.
Retain original packaging material: Please retain the original packaging, should it be necessary at some
stage to return the unit.
The manufacturer undertakes no responsibility for damage or injury caused by non-observance
of these safety precautions, or by inappropriate handling of the appliance.

4. Connecting and operating the receiver
4.1 Connections
Your digital receiver provides a multitude of possible connections to other appliances. Here we list the
most important options available.
4.1.1 Connection to the terrestrial antenna
The digital receiver is connected directly to a terrestrial antenna on the ANTENNA IN connector (see page
4, connections on the rear panel item 3). , by means of a coaxial cable. This connection must be done
while the receiver is switched off.
4.1.2 Connection to the TV set
Digital receivers and TV sets are usually connected by means of a Scart cable. Simply connect the two
ends of the cable with the main socket on the TV set and with the TV socket on the receiver, respectively.
The Scart connection ensures that audio and video signals are transmitted to the TV set in optimum quality.
4.1.3 Connection to a video recorder
Just as the TV set, the video recorder is connected to the receiver via a Scart connection. Use the “VCR“
socket for this purpose.
4.2 On/Off switch
Press the On/Off key (Standby), on the remote control. The receiver is now ready for operation. Now switch
on your TV set, if it is not already switched on, and set it to an “AV“ programme slot (“EXT“,”AV“, “External
Source“, or similar).
When you have completed connecting the digital receiver to the terrestrial antenna and the TV set, as well
as to the video recorder where applicable, you can now proceed to switch it on for the first time. In order
to do this, press the On/Off (Standby) key on the remote control. The receiver will now be switched on.
The receiver is now ready for operation.
To switch the unit off, press the Standby key.

4.3 Programme selection
4.3.1 Using the directional Up/Down or Ch+/Ch- keys
You can move up or down the programme list one slot at a time by using the two
Ch+/Ch- or Up/Down keys on the remote control unit. When an interactive TV application is
active, only the Ch+/Ch- keys do allow zapping as the Up/Down keys can have another
functionality within the interactive-TV application.
A screen with the information about the current selected channel
is appearing then. This information screen can also be activated
by pressing the right key.
4.3.2 Using the numeric keys
If you want to select a programme directly, and you know its
programme number, then it is easiest to enter the programme
by means of the numeric keys. As the receiver is equipped to
store many programmes, the programme number might have
two digits. However, you can also enter a number consisting
of only one digit.

4.5 Zapping
Various options exist to facilitate quick switching between programmes:
a) Fast zapping using the directional keys Ch+/Ch- and Up/Down:
Press the directional Ch+ or Up key to select the next higher programme in the
programme list and the directional key Ch- or Down to select the next lower
programme in the list.
b) Direct selection using the numeric keys:
As soon as a numeric key has been pressed, a small display field appears on
screen, which will display the selected channel number. A channel number may
consist of up to two digits. After a digit has been entered, the receiver will wait to
see whether any more digits are going to be entered. If no additional digits are
Menu
entered, the receiver will switch to the programme slot selected.
Example 1: You wish to select channel 1
Press “1“ on the remote control
The receiver will wait for 1 second to find out
whether any more digits are to be entered
The receiver will then switch to channel 1
Example 2: You wish to select channel 12
Enter “1“ on the remote control, followed by
“2“ within no more than 1 second of the first digit
The receiver will wait for 1 second to find out
whether any more digits are to be entered
The receiver will then switch to channel 12.
4.6 Teletext
The teletext or videotext feature
familiar from analogue TV
programmes is also broadcast on many digital
TV programmes. The digital receiver is
equipped to decode the teletext/video text
signal internally, and to display it on the
TV screen.
Press the ”Teletext“ key to display the videotext or teletext of the programme currently being viewed.
The teletext/video text will be displayed as an overlay on the screen over the current TV image.
In order to view a specific page of teletext/video text, use the numeric keys to enter the three-digit page
number. The receiver is capable of storing a large number of videotext pages in a temporary memory,
which reduces waiting times when calling up a new page. Enter “100“ at any time to return to the home
page of the teletext/video text pages of the TV programme being viewed.
You may use the directional keys Up/Down to page quickly through the complete teletext/video text section
of a particular TV programme. The benefit of the temporary page storage function is of particular benefit
when using this function for fast page scanning.
