Congratulations! You have purchased a quality product from our SKYMASTER®range. Our products are
subject to continuous, strict quality checks which guarantee product satisfaction. Welcome to the new
era of digital television!
The SKYMASTER®DXH 90 digital receiver is designed to receive uncoded satellite channels. Please note
that
a satellite antenna which is suitable for digital reception is required to operate the SKYMASTER®DXH 90.
This has to be equipped with a digital LNB for the reception of ASTRA or EUTELSAT.
TV reception is not the only thing now going digital! The DXH 90 has a high-quality digital HDMI output
for connecting plasma or LCD TV sets. The digital picture signal provides maximum picture quality.
Visibly better colour clarity and intensity compared to a conventional Scart connection.
The Skymaster®DXH 90 is tuning for every TV set with a HDMI connection.

Information on the use of USB devices
If a USB device without its own power supply is
connected, according to the USB specification
the total power consumption must not exceed
500 mA. Otherwise the USB devices may
malfunction or the receiver may be damaged.
USB memories which require more than 500 mA,
for example hard drives with USB Y-cables or hard
drives with a power supply should only be
operated with their own power supply in order
to prevent damage to the receiver or the USB
memory.
Please note that external influences also affect the
USB memory of the receiver. For example, voltage
spikes or voltage reductions may occur due to bad
weather or the USB memory may destroy the data
structure when writing to the memory, as a result
of large numbers of defective sectors due to age.
In such cases there may be a complete loss of
data. Skymaster therefore recommends that a
back up copy of the memory content is made, so
that your data is not lost in case of data losses in
the USB memory.

USB
GB 7
An external hard drive can be connected via the USB port. If correctly installed, this enables the
recording and playback of TV and radio programmes. Please note the installation information for the
USB hard drive and the information for the use of USB devices on page 55.
Please note that due to the large number of different computer hard drives and the wide variety of
IDE/SATA-USB adapters, there may be compatibility problems, which are not caused by the receiver. If
there are functional problems, we recommend that the hard drive is first exchanged as well as the use of
the Skymaster IDE/SATA–USB adapter (Article-No. 8632).
The receiver supports the use of hard drives up to 500GB in FAT32 format.
The following hard drives have been successfully tested:
Hitachi 160GB, Samsung 160GB, Seagate 250 GB, 2,5" Seagate Momentus 40 GB.
The USB port of the receiver is also active in standby mode, in order to enable recording with the timer
from the standby mode, i.e. the hard drive is still supplied with power. If the receiver is not to be used
for a longer period, both it and the hard drive should be completely disconnected from the mains.
Initial installation:
Switch the receiver to standby mode with the Power key on the front of the device. Connect the hard
drive to the USB port at the rear of the receiver and switch the receiver on again. After the receiver has
started, the contents of the hard drive should be displayed on the screen after a short time.
If this is not the case, first check whether the receiver has recognised the hard drive via the menu item > Recording management -> Hard drive information If this does not contain any information, the hard
drive must first be formatted with a format which can be read by the receiver.
To do this, press the menu key and switch to “Recording management” using the navigation keys.
Select the item “Format hard drive". If this is confirmed with the OK key, the hard drive will be
formatted.
CAUTION! The formatting process deletes all existing data on the hard drive!!! Once the hard drive has
been formatted, exit from the menu via the EXIT key and select “Hard drive information”. This displays
the amount of space which is available on the hard drive.
In order to prevent loss of data from the hard drive, it should never be disconnected from the receiver
while running. First switch the receiver to standby mode in order to disconnect the hard drive from the
receiver.
SKYMASTER accepts no liability for loss of data or damage as a result of the use of the
USB port.
The total available recording time on a hard drive depends on the size of the hard drive as well as the
programmes to be recorded.
HDMI
GB 8
HDMI Connection
Connect the receiver and the TV set via a HDMI connection cable. This connection provides you with
perfect and lossless picture and sound quality for your TV set.
The receiver automatically switches to the HDMI output as soon as a TV is connected to the receiver by
means of an HDMI cable.
The screen resolution at the HDMI output can be optimised using the MODE button. Please note that
the picture may disappear when the resolution is changed. In order to maintain an overview in this case,
the resolution is briefly displayed in the display of the unit (e.g. 480i, 720P, 1080). For optimum display
on a modern flat screen device we recommend the setting 1080i_50 or 720p_50.
To achieve the connection, we recommend the use of a conventional Scart and a HDMI connection
cable, since the HDMI input is not preset as standard on every TV set. It is also possible to access and
adapt the set-up menus via the conventional Scart cable should the screen remain blank.
Setting up the picture and sound connection:
All the necessary possibilities can be found in the section “System Settings”.
The following video signals are supported:
HDMI: The HDMI output provides you with perfect picture and sound quality. Note: The device has a
standardised HDMI output. Nevertheless, picture and sound interferences may occur at TV sets with
first generation HDMI inputs.
In this case, select one of the following connection options.
RGB: Extremely high-quality picture and sound transmission via a conventional (21-pole) Scart cable.
YUV: Very high quality image output via the 3 cinch sockets “YPbPr” for connecting a TV or a beamer.
Dolby Digital Sound (AC3)
Please note that if the channel broadcasts Dolby Digital Sound, this is only available via the digital
sound output or the HDMI output if this is connected to an external AV receiver.
5. The OSD menu: The most important functions
GB 9
OSD = On Screen Display
Open and close the OSD: Carry out all your receiver
settings via the OSD. Press the MENU button to open the
OSD. To close the OSD, press the MENU or EXIT button
until all the menus have been closed.
Navigate in the OSD: Use the control buttons or
specific buttons to navigate through the OSD. These
buttons and their functions are displayed in the OSD. The
number buttons on the remote control are usually used
for this task.
General OSD information: The receiver has been
preset and usually no or only a few changes are
necessary. The OSD is clearly structured and the buttons
required for changing a certain setting are shown on the
screen. These are the best prerequisites for putting the
operating instructions to one side and referring to them
again at a later date, e.g. after extending the antenna
installation.
If you are a novice to digital satellite reception, please
take time and carefully read through the entire operating
instructions once. The instructions contain several
possibilities to extend your antenna installation.
5.1
The OSD menu: Info screen, audio channels and volume
GB 10
Channel information:
After switching the device on and changing channels, an
info window appears. This window provides you with
information about the respective channel:
Date/Time
Channel name
Title of the programme (current and next programme)
Teletext available/not available
EPG
Subtitles
Storage location (e.g. CH 0189)
Satellite name and position
Type of programme list (e.g. all satellites, favourites)
The amount of information displayed depends on the
channel provider. If no additional information about the
channel is transmitted, a respective message is displayed (e.g. “no channel information”). The info window
can be opened at any time* by pressing the INFO button.
The duration of the display (1 - 10 seconds) can be
changed under (see System settings/OSD setting).
Note: If you cannot access certain channels, the
favourites list is most probably active. To select the
desired list, press the OK button and the
왗 or 왘 button
until the desired overview appears.
Select audio channels:
Some channels are broadcast with multiple audio
channels. These audio channels can be multi-language
channels or various radio stations.
Press the AUDIO button to select an audio channel or a
language. Select the desired selection from the list and
close the selection via EXIT.
In addition to this, it is possible to set whether the left or
right audio channel is played. The default setting is stereo.
In order to reproduce Dolby Digital-/AC3 sound, the TV must
be equipped with a suitable decoder, or the SAT receiver
must be connected to an AC3 enabled hifi amplifier. For
further information, please refer to page 58.
Volume settings/mute:
Use the VOL왗 and VOL왘 control buttons to control the
volume. Press the MUTE button to turn off the sound.
Reactivate the sound by pressing this button again or by
pressing the volume buttons.
*Not when Timeshift/Recording is active!
The ever increasing number of channels has created a satellite channel jungle: Many channels are only
of interest in certain regions (e.g. foreign language channels), are coded and can only be received via
special receivers and after pre-payment or are just not interesting. In order to achieve a clear overview
in the channel lists, there are various channel groups and sort criteria. Access to the channels can
occur in various ways:
Direct channel selection via the numeric buttons 0 - 9:
If you know the position of the desired channel in the channel list, you can enter it directly via the
number buttons (e.g. 108 for “Example TV”). The desired channel is then displayed by the receiver after
a few moments. TIP: Press the LAST button to toggle between the current and the last channel.
5.2 The OSD menu: Direct channel selection, etc.
GB 11
Display the channel list:
An overview of all the stored channels is opened by
pressing the OK button. Use the CH 왖왔 control buttons
to navigate through this list. Use the PG+/PG- buttons to
“leaf through” the list faster. Once you have found the
desired channel, press the OK or EXIT button to hide
the list.
An extremely comfortable way to quickly access specific
channels is provided by the channel groups: Once you
have opened the TV channel or radio station list, use the
왗 and 왘 button to select the various groups: The group
“All Satellites” displays all the stored channels of all the
available satellites. Open the “Edit Channel” menu to
accept channels in the favourites list. The procedure is
explained in the course of these instructions.
To quickly find certain programmes, after calling up the
programme list, you can open the search field with the
FIND key.
Via the numeric keys of the remote control, enter the
letters of the channel which you are looking for. The left
hand window is then restricted to the programmes which
agree with the sequence of letters. As soon as you see
your channel, press the blue key in order to switch to the
left hand window and select the channel.
Display subtitles:
Sometimes subtitles are available for the current
programme, e.g. for audibly challenged people or in
various languages. Press the SUB-T button to open the
subtitle selection. Note: DVB subtitles are extremely rare
and are different to conventional teletext subtitles.
5.3 The OSD menu: Teletext and EPG
GB 12
Teletext:
Most channels broadcast additional information and
services. Teletext pages are “electronic magazines”
which provide the latest news, sports results, weather
forecasts, commercial offers and much more. The
quantity and content is regulated by the channel
provider. Page 100 always displays a table of contents.
From here you can select an overview of further
subpages (e.g. page 200, sports overview). Always
enter the three-digit page number or use the control
buttons. Use the EXIT button to exit teletext.
EPG – Electronic Program Guide:
The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is – like teletext –
not broadcast by each channel provider. The content can
also vary significantly. Therefore, statements such as “if
provided by the channel provider” are not expressly
stated in the following.
The EPG displays a daily or weekly overview of current or
future programmes with the corresponding air times. Use
the OK button to open information about the programme
in a new window.
If you find an interesting programme, you can accept it
in the timer via the [green] button! The satellite receiver
is then switched on at the selected time and the
programme can be recorded using a VCR. The timer
functions are described below.
Press the [red] button to switch to the “Schedule”.
Navigation in the EPG overview occurs as follows:
Back to the normal view
Jumps back to the current time
One channel previous/next
Two hours previous/next
One day previous/next
6. Everyday use
Menu
In order to keep the controls as simple as possible, we
have divided the menu into the sections Simple and
Expert. The Simple section provides the basic functions
of the receiver. The Expert section provides all the
functions of the receiver. This is described in detail in
Section 8.
If you press the MENU button and select the Expert
Mode, the main menu appears on the screen. It is
possible to open submenus or change settings at your
receiver via this menu. You can change the layout of the
OSD, add or delete channels, adapt the receiver to your
satellite system, update new software via satellite and much more. But it is also possible to
inadvertently change everything and be left with just a black screen. Therefore, read the following pages
carefully before carrying out any changes.
Navigation and opening of submenus:
After opening the main menu the most recently selected menu is highlighted. Use the 왗왘 control
buttons to toggle between the main and submenu items. Press OK to open the submenus. Use the
왖왔 control buttons to highlight the desired submenu and open it via OK.
Close the menus:
Menus are either closed automatically after confirming your changes via OK or by closing each opened
submenu individually via the EXIT or MENU button.
For everyday use you only need a few functions – as you do with your TV set: switching channels,
adjusting the volume and a few special ones such as Teletext. You will hardly ever need to use your
TV set's remote again because you can regulate all its present and additional functions with the
SKYMASTER remote control.

2. Installation
The installation menu contains all the required settings
for adapting the satellite system and saving the channels.
2.1 Antenna connection
2.1.1 Rotating system (DiSEqC-LNB required) or
permanent alignment
If the device is to be used to control systems which are
capable of receiving more than one satellite, it is necessary to use a DiSEqC-LNB instead of a universal LNB.
If you own a motor-controlled rotating system, select the
option rotating system in the antenna connection menu.
Subsequently open the antenna setting menu and select
the LNB and rotor type. If you are not sure whether you
own a DiSEqC 1.2 or DiSEqC 1.3 (USALS) rotor, please
refer to the operating instructions of your antenna rotor.
If you own an USALS rotor, you can enter the coordinates
of the antenna location under the local longitude and
latitude (e.g. Hamburg 10.03 E and 053.57 N). Press the
OK button prior to entering the coordinates.
Delete all: For deleting all the stored satellite positions.
After deleting all the stored position, you have to reset
the positions for the DiSEqC 1.2.
8. The OSD menu – Installation
GB 26
Rotor settings (DiSEqC 1.2):
Satellite: Select the desired satellite for setting the
rotating system. Note: If any satellites are missing here,
add them to the satellite list menu.
Transponder: It is possible to select a pre-programmed
transponder to search for the satellite.
Position & saving: Allocate a position number to each
satellite. Important: After successful alignment of the
satellite, you have to confirm the number via the OK
button!
Note: You can skip the following points if you are using
an USALS rotor. The satellite positions have already been
stored automatically.
Go To X: In order to facilitate the search for further
satellites, you can directly access already stored
positions from the list. The “reference” value represents
the central position and should face due south.
West/East: Use the
왗왘 control buttons to move the
antenna westwards or eastwards. Always observe the
signal indicators. Note: If a signal level is not achieved
during the search, select another transponder.
Recalculation: This is where the internal counter for the
individual satellite positions is recalculated starting from
the central position of the rotor (south). Deviations can
occur over time due to frequent rotation, mechanical
tolerances and external influences (wind).
It is possible to restrict the swivel range of the antenna in
order to prevent obstacles causing damage to it. Under
the limit setting select a direction (westerly or easterly
limit) and press the OK button. The following selection is
used for controlling the antenna to the outermost rotating
range. Use the

pressing the PVR key on the remote control. In this
menu, you can edit recordings which have already been
made.

In order to prevent recordings from being accidentally
deleted, or for reasons of parental protection, these can
be locked.
Select the relevant recording with the navigation keys
and press the green key. Once the password has been
entered, the file is protected. The recording can only be

6.2 HDD information
Here you can obtain information about the connected
USB data carrier.
6.3 HDD Format
If the hard drive is not recognised by the receiver, it must
first be converted to a format which the receiver can
read.
Select “Format hard drive” and confirm this with the
OK key.
CAUTION!
If you confirm the safety query, all data on the data
carrier will be deleted. If necessary, back up existing files
on a PC beforehand.
After formatting, the status of the hard drive is displayed
under “Hard drive information”.
6.4 DVR Configuration
All the relevant settings for the hard drive can be set with
this menu.
6.4.1 Timeshift
Here you can set whether the receiver should always
record the currently selected channel on order e.g. to
rewind the current program at any time.
In this case, set Timeshift to “On”.
Please note that with this setting, after a short time the
display switches from the current channel number to the
display "TSFT" for Timeshift.
Also, switching channels takes place more slowly than
when the Timeshift function is switched off.
6.4.2 Timeshift recording
If Timeshift recording is activated, you can press the Record button on the remote control at any time and the
current programme will be saved as a recording from the
time that you switched to the channel. Please note that
this function also depends on the amount of memory
which has been reserved (Timeshift file size). If the recording has not been saved from the time that you switched
to this channel, please increase the Timeshift file size.

6.4.3 USB Speed Detect
The suitability of a USB data carrier is checked on
connection or on recording. If the USB data carrier has
proved itself in normal use, this option may be switched
off in order to suppress unnecessary messages and
increase performance.
6.4.4 Record Type
Select the setting TS (Transport Stream), if you wish to
retain the original format. Select the setting PS, if the
format is to be displayed on a PC. However, on
conversion, some channel information is lost.
6.4.5 Subtitles on
With some channels, the programme is also transmitted
with subtitles. If you also wish to record these, switch
this item “On”
With the SUB-T key on the remote control, you can then
switch in the subtitles during playback.
6.4.6 Recording partition
If the connected USB data carrier is divided into several
partitions, the required partition can be selected with the
왗왘 buttons.

30sec. • 1min • 5 min • 10min • 30min
No antenna signal (No signal display on the unit or via the signal displays in the OSD):
1. Check the antenna cable first: the mesh wire shield and aluminium insulation must be in contact with the f-plug and should not
touch the cable conductor.
2. Check the LNB settings. For ASTRA satellites LNB1 should be
on. If you use an digital LNB, the lower and upper frequencies
have to be 9750 MHz and 10600 MHz respectively. To trace an
error you should connect the LNB directly to the receiver and
first remove the switch and splitter.
Malfunctions 1. The unit displays incorrect broadcasting times in the EPG or the
incorrect time: after the receiver is switched on the data has to
be read and evaluated. Depending on the transponder this process may take some time. Sometimes it is necessary to call up
the EPG again or to switch channels.
2. No response from the unit: Pull out the power plug and wait a
few seconds before starting the unit again.
Only a few channels 1. The antenna is aligned to the wrong satellite position. When ali-
gning the antenna you may be receiving one of numerous satellites, which is transmitting on a similar frequency and interfering
with the receiver's signal displays. When switching channels foreign stations will often appear as well as a notification of “No
Signal”. It is often enough to turn the antenna a few degrees to
the east or west to receive the channels you want.
2. Check to see if you have activated the right list of channels.
Press BROWSE to call up the list. Press the
왗 or 왘 buttons to
select the channel list you require (e.g. “All Satellites”).
No sound, poor sound quality 1. If there is no sound, or only interference can be heard, your TV
or AV receiver is unable to decode the Dolby Digital/AC3 sound
from the HDMI connection. Remedy: Press the AUDIO button
and select stereo sound. If the channel does not provide stereo
sound, connect the digital sound output SPDIF to your
Surround/AC3/Dolby Digital system.
