1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Android receiver by STRONG. It has been produced with the latest new
technology and offers extensive entertainment and great versatility. We wish you many hours of new
great experiences exploring the Android world and watching IP, cable, terrestrial and satellite TV in
High Definition and satellite even in Ultra High Definition quality!
1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:
In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other equipment; on a
surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense moisture; to
intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage to your receiver or to
any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.
Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not touch a
power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power cord
from the wall socket.
Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If you wish, you may clean
your receiver with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution, and only
after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through
the ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an electric shock.
Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper cooling of
the components inside.
Safety Precautions
Never try to open the receiver. Opening the receiver will void the warranty of the product. Refer
all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualified personnel.
When you are connecting cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the mains
supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching off the receiver before you move the
receiver or disconnect any equipment.
It is a necessity that you only use an approved extension and compatible wiring that is suitable
for the electrical power consumption of the installed equipment. Please ensure that the
electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical identification plate at the
back of the receiver.
If the receiver does not operate normally, even after strictly following the instructions in the user
manual, it is recommended to consult your dealer or the appropriate service for your country.
1.2 Storage
Your receiver and its accessories are stored and delivered in a packaging designed to protect against
electric shocks and moisture. When unpacking it, make sure that all the parts are included and keep
the packaging away from children. When transporting the receiver from one place to another or

2.7 Using the remote control and USB adapter
Please first insert the USB adapter of the remote control in a free USB port. This USB adapter receives
the RF (radio controlled) signals from remote control. Without this adapter only the Standby button
will work via the IR sensor (infrared). The remote control has an in-built “G-sensor” which is used as
pointer on your screen in the Android mode. This is called as “Air mouse” function and allows you to
move the pointer by moving the remote control through the air.
NOTE: As this function uses more power as normal pressing of buttons we
Under normal conditions your remote control has been paired with the USB adapter in the factory
and therefore the “Air mouse” function of your remote control will directly work for your receiver.
In case you can only use the q button on the remote control and none of the other buttons have
a function, or in case the red LED on the remote control keeps blinking, it could be that the pairing
between the remote control and the USB adapter is not correct.
In that case you need to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually:
1. Remove the USB adapter from the USB slot on the receiver.
2. Make sure the receiver is switched ON.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control and insert them again. The LED on the remote
control starts flashing.
4. Press and hold the OK and
remote control flashes more quickly.
5. Insert the USB adapter into a free USB port of the receiver and wait until the LED on the remote
control stops flashing (fig. 6).
6. Now the remote control is paired with the USB adapter.
NOTE: The function of Standby on the remote control is limited or not possible

if there are obstacles in front of the remote control sensor on the front
panel of the receiver. If only the Standby button is working and there is no
reaction when pressing any other button it could be that the batteries are
empty or the USB adapter was removed or, as mentioned above, you need
to pair the USB adapter to the remote control manually.

3.1 Basic connection
a. If you use satellite reception, connect the LNB of your satellite antenna to the SAT IN connector
of your receiver using a good quality coaxial cable and suitable ‘F-connector’ plugs.
b. If you use terrestrial or cable reception, then connect the outdoor/indoor antenna or cable wall
socket to the ANT IN connector of your receiver using a good quality coaxial cable and suitable
‘IEC-connector’ plugs.
c. Connect one end of a good quality HDMI cable to the HDMI output on your receiver and the
other end to the HDMI input of your TV.
d. Connect the LAN cable from your router/Internet connection into the RJ45 LAN input.
e. Plug in the power plug from the 12 V adapter and insert the adapter into a suitable wall outlet.
Fig. 7
3.2 Connecting multiple xed LNBs using a DiSEqC 1.0/1.1
switch
a. Connect the LNBs of your fixed antenna to the inputs of a DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 switch
b. Connect the output or “to receiver” connector of the DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 switch to the SAT IN
connector on your receiver.
3.3 Connecting to the Internet
a. For the best performance we advise using a wired connection to your router.
b. Alternatively, you can use the in-built wireless adapter to connect to the Internet via your
wireless router.
NOTE: Be aware that the Internet speed will be reduced by walls or long distance
between the receiver and the router when using wireless connection. This
will lead to lower quality of video streams from the Internet.
Fig. 7
Fig. 8
3.4 Connecting to an analogue amplier
Use the 3.5 mm AV output for a RCA cable to connect your receiver to the analogue input of your
Hi-Fi system or audio amplifier. Use the white and red RCA for an analogue amplifier. Optionally you
can use the yellow RCA as an analogue low resolution video output. To enable this option, you need
to remove the HDMI cable.
NOTE: Android is made for high resolution screens and will only be good to watch
8
and to use on the HDMI output. The yellow RCA video output connector
only supports low quality video.
Fig. 9
Page 13
3.5 Connecting to digital audio (video) amplier
Use the optical S/PDIF output to connect your Android receiver to the digital input of your Hi-Fi
system or audio amplifier. In the Android Digital Sounds menu you can activate this output to select
S/PDIF audio.The Digital audio option can be used to activate Dolby Digital audio by selecting RAW
data or disable and select PCM for down mix to stereo audio. If you have a digital amplifier with HDMI connector, select HDMI. This will offer the best sound up to Dolby Digital Plus!
3.6 Connection of a wireless mouse or key board*
For optimal usage of the Android part we recommend using also a mouse or wireless mouse for
maximum freedom, besides the remote control. This enables tracking and dropping of functions, just
as you can do on mobile phones.
Switch the main power Off and insert a mouse or wireless mouse dongle into one of the free USB
slots. Switch the main power back On. The device will be automatically recognised and you can start
using it.
In the same way you can use a keyboard.* It will make typing of information (web addresses,
searching) much more convenient.
* Not included in the packaging.
3.7 Connection of a USB web camera*
If you like to take pictures or talk to other people and watch with video conference apps as SkypeTM,
you can connect a USB web camera with an in-built microphone to your Android receiver.
Download and install the latest new video app from the Store first. Then switch the main power Off
and insert the USB webcam connector into one of the free USB slots. Switch the main power back On.
The webcam will be automatically recognised and you can start using it.
* Not included in the packaging.
NOTE: Please check on our web site www.strong.tv for the supported webcam
If you like to change the login name, camera model or if you don’t get the webcam running, enter
“Settings – Apps – Skype -- Clear data” first and then login to SkypeTM to test a video call and if the
new login works.
