Safety instructions
Please read these safety instructions through carefully, before
operating the receiver.
Please observe all warnings and instructions on the equipment and
contained in these operating instructions.
Basic safety instructions
Electrical connections
• To avoid fire and danger of electric shock, do not expose the
receiver to rain or in other moisture.
• Never open the housing. (Danger of electric shock).
• Only connect the receiver to a 90–250 V, 50–60 Hz power socket
which has been correctly installed by trained personnel.
• The plug must be easily accessible, so that in an emergency the
receiver can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and
easily.
• Pull the plug out of the socket if the equipment is not used over a
long period of time. Only pull out by the plug.
• Avoid exposing the receiver to drops or spraying water. Do not
stand any containers holding liquid s (a vase, for example) on or
over the receiver . (Danger of electric shock).
• If foreign bodies or liquids enter the receiver, then immediately pull
the plug from the socket. Have properly-trained personnel check
the equipment, before operating again. (Danger of electric shock).
• The total power input at the receiver’s antenna connection marked
“ANT INPUT“ may not exceed 400 mA.
• Do not bend or squash the power cable.
• Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. (Danger of electric
shock).
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be repaired by
properly-trained personnel before operating again. (Danger of
electric shock).
• Never allow children to use the receiver without supervision or to
play with the antenna equipment.
6
3BSafety instructions
• Always leave maintenance work to properly-trained personnel, not
to do so could be dangerous.
• Disconnect the receiver from the power source if operating
breakdown occurs.
Correct positioning
• Stand the receiver on a firm, level surface.
• Avoid the proximity of sources of heat, for example, radiators,
open fires, for example, candles, equipment with strong magnetic
fields, for example, loudspeakers.
• Avoid direct sunlight and unusually dusty or humid locations.
• Avoid shaking the receiver.
• Never cover up the ventilation slits. See that there is adequate
ventilation. Do not stand any heavy objects on the receiver.
• If the receiver is brought from a cold into a warm environment,
moisture can form in the interior of the receiver. In this case, wait
around two to three hours before operating.
• Lay the power and antenna cables so that no-one can trip over or
tread on them
The correct handling of batteries
• Batteries can contain poisonous substances, which can harm the
environment. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the
current legal requirements. Never dispose of the batteries in
normal domestic refuse.
• Batteries should not be given to children. Children could place
batteries in the mouth and swallow them.
• Weak batteries can cause damage to the remote control. If the
receiver is not used for a long period of time, then remove the
batteries from the remote control.

Description
With this equipment digital satellite channels can be received using a
satellite antenna.
The receiver does not need to be programmed, all programmes
transmitted at the time of delivery over the Astra, Hotbird and Turksat
satellites are already pre-programmed.
The channels transmitted by a satellite can be received as soon as
the receiver is connected up to an antenna pointing at a satellite. The
receiver searches for the channels as soon as the automatic search
function for this satellite is started.
All functions of the receiver can be operated using the remote control.
All receiver settings can easily be effected by means of the menu on
the TV screen. The on-screen menu supports the following
languages:
• German,
• English,
• Arabic,
• French,
• Italian,
• Russian,
• Spanish
• Turkish,
• Farsi,
• Dutch,
• Greek and
• Hungarian.

Connecting up the receiver
The receiver is connected by means of an LNB cable to the
connection socket of the satellite antenna. Before connecting the
receiver an LNB cable may have to be installed.
L
An LNB cable is not supplied.
Danger!
The braided sheath and the internal conductor of the LNB cable
are under current during operation. Whilst operating, do not touch
the LNB cable. (Danger of injury through electric shock!)
Caution!
Before connecting up, remove all packaging from the receiver
otherwise the receiver could be damaged.
Caution!
Only connect up the receiver to the power source after all
equipment and the antenna have been correctly connected.
Otherwise the receiver could sustain damage.
14
6BOverview of the equipment
Installing the LNB cable
For installing an IF plug on the co-axial cable wire strippers and
cutting pliers will be required.
Cut off 8mm co-axial cable down to the internal core at both ends.
Carefully cut 10mm of external isolation material off, so that the
braided sheath is showing.
Turn back the braided sheath and turn it over the outer isolation
material, ensuring that it does not touch the internal core
Remove the internal isolation material up to 2mm before the
braided sheath.
Turn the IF plug onto the turned-back braided sheath until the plu g
meets the internal isolation material..
L
The braided sheath should not protrude behind the end of
the plug.
Shorten the internal core with cutting pliers, so that it protrudes at
most 1mm out of the plug.
Connection of a SCART cable
Screw the IF plug of the LNB cable on to the receiver’s antenna
input marked “ANT INPUT“.
Plug the SCART cable into the receiver’s SCART connection
marked “TV“.
Connect the SCART cable with the TV set. Observe the operating
instructions of the TV set.
If a video cassette recorder is to be connected, then plug a
SCART cable in the receiver’s SCART connection marked “VCR”.
Connect the SCART cable with the video cassette recorder.
Observe the operating instructions of the video cassette recorder.
If a music centre is to be connected, then plug the cinch cable in
the receiver’s sockets marked “AUDO R” and “AUDIO L”.
15
6BOverview of the equipment

RAPS
What is RAPS?
All currently-transmitted TV and radio channels are already sto red on
the receiver on delivery. RAPS (Receiver Automatic Programme
Search) updates the list of channels and allows the automatic
addition of new channels or the deletion of discontinued channels.
RAPS saves the effort of seeking and programming these changes.
When the receiver is switched on, RAPS checks if there are new
channels available. New channels are automatically included in the
channel listing and shown on the screen as such. When channels are
finally terminated, the corresponding places in the listing are also
automatically deleted.
Parallel to this a personal list can be drawn up (within the list of
favourites) or switch off RAPS at any time using the “Wo rks Settings”.
