Dear customer,
We would like to congratulate you for choosing a TechniSat television set, which has been produced according to the most modern, up-to-date technical stan­dards.
The city of Stassfurt in the state of Sachsen-Anhalt has been synonymous with the production of high-quality radio and television equipment for decades, and today guarantees you high quality made in Germany.
Our products are distributed by qualified specialist TechniSat TV service points, who will provide you with qualified guidance and professional service. Whenever you have any questions or possible problems, be sure to
consult your local specialist retailer.
In order to operate the TV set immediately, turn to the chapter Daily Operation on pages 4 to 7.
The Initial Operation procedure (automatic channel scan) on page 3 is only necessary if you want to install your TV set and attach it to the antenna without the assi­stance of a service technician. In this case, appropriate instructions will be displayed on the screen the first time you switch on the set. Should you wish to adjust picture, sound or programme characteristics at a later stage, turn to the chapter on Settings for guidance.
Before going any further, please read the notes on Operation and Safety on page 2, to ensure that you will enjoy problem-free TV viewing for a long time.

The TV set is designed to receive and reproduce
only sound and video signals.
The set is designed to be connected only to audio
and video equipment, antenna installations and computers that comply with DIN standards, and carry a CE certification.
The set may be used for private and commercial
purposes, and must be operated inside a dry room, and under supervision.
Any other form of operation is specifically exclu-
ded.
This equipment complies with the following stan­dards: Radiation (X-Ray) regulations (RöV in Germany) of
08.01.1987, EU guideline 73/23/EEC (low-voltage regulations)
- EN 60065 EU guideline 89/336/EEC (EMV guideline)
- EN 55013, EN 55020, EN 60555-2 And carries CE certification.
Spent batteries should not be discarded with dome­stic refuse. They can either be disposed of by sepa­rate channels, or they will collected by the dealer.
Should the TV set reach the end of its lifespan after many years, specialist retailers will take it back for environmentally-friendly disposal
TechniSat provides a coupon for an old TV set when you purchase a new set.
The housing of a Colani-Line set can be cleaned with a soft, slightly moist cloth. The housing of a Classic Line set can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use spray cleaners or any aggressive chemi­cal detergents for the housing, as this may damage the high-quality surface. The screen can be cleaned while the set is switched off, using a dry or very slightly damp cloth.
If the following safety precautions are ignored, the
manufacturer's responsibility ceases.
Never open the housing!
It is extremely dangerous to touch parts carry­ing high-voltage current.
Only trained personnel may carry out repairs.
Should the set be delivered or transported during
cold weather, do not switch it on immediately, but allow the set to adjust to room temperature first.
Operate the set in an environment where it is safe
from humidity and damp, as well as splashes or drops of water. If water gets into the housing, immediately disconnect the power supply and call a service technician.
Do not place the set in very confined bookshelves
or cupboards, and allow at least 10cm space all round for ventilation.
Do not place the TV set near a heater or other
equipment that will cause the set to heat up more than usual.
Do not expose the set to strong sunlight, and
never cover up the ventilation slots, as this would affect the cooling of the set.
In case of electrical storms, disconnect both the
antenna and power connections, as power surges can damage the set.
Do not stick any objects into or through the ventila-
tion slots.
If you notice a specific defect, or if there is a stran-
ge smell and smoke coming from the set, dis­connect the power supply immediately, and call a technician.
If you are out of the house for an extended period
of time, the TV set should be switched off. This saves energy, and prolongs the lifespan of the pic­ture tube.
If the set is kept in standby mode via the remote
control, power consumption is approximately 1 Watt.

Press the Tele text on key to call up video text.
If the channel provides tele text, page 100 (main introduction) will be displayed by default.
All other pages will be available within a time of 30 seconds maximum. This is the time required by all channels to broadcast their pages. As the TV set has a large memory, sufficient for 512 pages, practically all availa­ble pages can be displayed from memory without delay.
Use the 0 to 9 keys to select a three-digit page
number. The selected page of tele text will be called up, and the page number displayed top left on screen.
Most TV channels broadcast tele text in the form of TOP text. This provides for all pages to be sorted thematically in groups and blocks, so it is easier to obtain an overview of the pages available.

The TV set has an internal clock, as well as several timers.
You will generally not have to set the date and time, as the internal clock is set automa­tically each time the set is switched on. The correct time is downloaded from the tele text information of whichever programme has been stored in programme slot 1. So that the timer function is available to you even under unusual reception conditions, (e.g. if your TV set is to be used in a distant foreign country, or if the SCART connection is used to supply the TV signal to the set), pro­vision is made for this to be set manually in the menu Clock. The time setting is retained while the TV set is in standby mode.

When a timer has been set, the TV screen and sound section are switched off, so that the TV set draws less current than during regular opera­tion. The times set for the various timers may not overlap, i.e. each timer block must be completed before the start of the next block. As the internal clock may be slightly inaccura­te, and as broadcast times for TV program­mes may differ slightly from published times, you should plan for a slight reserve in your timer settings. The exact recording time will be determined by the video recorder.

As the TV set is equipped with a VGA interfa­ce, a computer image in VGA mode (640x480 dots/ 60 Hz) can be shown as a full-screen image. To do this, you will require a monitor cable with 2 x Sub-D 15-pin plugs, in order to connect the monitor output of the graphics card with the VGA input of the TV set. Before the connection is made, you will have to set the PC to the required resolution (640x480 pixels) as well as picture frequency. If you are using Windows 95/98, you will need to follow the steps: Start > Settings > System Settings> Display> Settings under Monitor. The picture frequency can be set to 60 Hz under the option "Further Options". The required procedure may vary slightly according to the operating system.

numeric keys to return to the TV picture.
If you want to listen to PC sound via the TV set, you can use an appropriate connection cable with adapters to connect the output from the sound card of the PC to the SCART1 socket of the TV set. In order for the sound transmitted via this connection to be audible via the TV loudspea­kers, the VGA mode must be selected from a programme slot in which a TV programme is also stored.
Use the Volume keys to adjust the volume.Use the Sound Mute key to switch the sound off
(mute).
If your TV set is fitted with a satellite module, you can listen to (analogue) satellite radio while you are working at your PC.

Basically, a new ADR programme will be sto­red in the same way as a satellite TV pro­gramme (see page 11). When entering the menu item "Audio type", one of the types ADR1 to ADR12 must be entered, these are to be found following on after the audio types 1…32 in the list. An allo­cation of the various audio types to the corre­sponding sound sub-carrier frequency can be found in the list "Audio types".
Use the Programme keys to go to a different
menu line, then press the OK key to store in memory.

on of neighbouring colours on the screen
Decoder- Additional item of equipment required for receiving
scrambled (encoded) audio and video signals
DiSEqC- Digital Satellite Equipment Control - a digital control signal
used to control DiSEqC-compatible components of the external unit via the antenna connection, enables recepti­on of more than one satellite via a single cable.
Dual channel sound- Two different sound tracks are broadcast,
e.g. the original language plus one synchronised language
EC1- Euroconnector 1 - another name for SCART1 External unit- Description for the entire system mounted outdoors,
consisting of the parabolic dish antenna as well as one or more LNBs, to receive signals from one or more satellites.
FBAS signal- German abbreviation for Colour Image Sensing
Synchronous Signal, this contains, among other data, the complete picture information of the TV picture
Fine tuning- Fine tuning of station/programme - this optimizes the
image even in the presence of transmission errors from the transmitter. It also influences the quality of video text

undistorted reproduction of 16:9 images on 16:9 TV sets. This switching is usually automatic
FLOF tele text- A tele text format used by several programmes, but
not in Germany
Hi-Fi- High fidelity, refers to high quality sound reproduction LNB/LNC (Low Noise Block converter)- Receiving unit at the
focal point of the parabolic dish antenna, converts the sig­nal from the frequency range of the satellite to the inter­mediate frequency of the receiver.
LNB Supply- Power supply to the LNB LOF- Local oscillator frequency, measured in MHz or GHz,
varies according to the LNB and the frequency range received. Can be set via the menu "outdoor unit"> "Satellite" Receiving frequency of the receiver = transmitting fre­quency of the satellite - LOF.
Megatext- Convenient form of tele text providing good graphics as
well as a large page memory, facilitating rapid access to pages
