4 Connections
The items a b c etc. mentioned below refer to the illustration
on page 10.
4.1 Mains power connection
The digital receiver should be connected to the mains power
supply only once all the other connections with other items of
equipment have been made. This will prevent damage to the
digital receiver or to other components.
a When you have made all the other connections. use
the mains power cable supplied to connect the recei-
ver to a mains power supply providing 230 V/50-60 Hz.
4.2 External unit
4.2.1 Single unit operation
b Using a suitable co-axial cable, connect the LNC input
of the digital receiver with the LNC of your external
unit. Please also note Point 6 under “Settings”.
4.2.2 Operating an additional receiver in a single-
receiver installation
c If you wish to operate an additional unit in a single-
receiver installation (e.g. an analogue receiver or an
ADR receiver), you can connect the LNC input of the
additional receiver with the LNC output of the DVB
receiver by means of a suitable co-axial cable. In
order for the satellite signal to be provided to the
additional receiver, your DVB receiver must be oper-
ated in Standby mode. If your DVB receiver is switc-
ched on, it will take over priority in controlling the LNC.
4.3 Connection to a television set
When you have connected your digital receiver with
the television set as described in this chapter, it may be
necessary to adjust the digital receiver to the television standard of your television set.
To do this, please note Point 6.3.5 (Video system).
4.3.1 Via SCART cable
To ensure the best possible picture quality, use a SCART
cable to connect the digital receiver with the television set.
Proceed as follows:
d Connect the receiver (SCART socket TV) and the
television set (SCART socket) by means of a SCART
cable. If your television set is appropriately equipped,
it will switch automatically to AV when the digital recei-
ver is switched on, and will provide satelliote recep-
tion.
11
4.3.2 Via HF cable
If your television set is not equipped with a SCART socket,
the digital receiver will have to be connected to the antenna
input socket of the television set. If this connection is used,
only mono sound reproduction is possible.
To make the connection, proceed as follows:
e Use a suitable TV connection cable to connect the
receiver (HF output) to the antenna input socket of
the television set.
f Connect the cable coming from the terrestrial antenna
to the Terrestrial antenna input of the digital receiver.
You must now set your television set to the transmission (output) channel of the digital receiver. Select a free programme
slot on your television set, and tune it to Channel 38 (if
necessary, consult the operating manual of your television
set).
If you do not receive a clear picture on Channel 38, either this
channel or a neighbouring channel may already be tuned to a
programme being received via the antenna. You can check on
this by temporarily removing the antenna cable from the Input
terrestrial antenna socket of the digital receiver. If you then
temporarily receive a clear picture, you should select a different channel on the digital receiver, in the range 21 to 69.
Setting the UHF output channel
To set an optimum UHF output channel, please proceed as
described in 6.3, and go to the menu Audio/Video Settings
and mark the field UHF output channel. Then proceed as
described in 6.3.7.
4.4 Video cassette recorder (VCR)
g Connect the video recorder to the SCART socket
marked VCR. In Playback mode, the video recorder
will supply a switching signal to the digital receiver.
The video recorder signal will be sent automatically to
the TV set.
If your video recorder does not supply the required
switching current, use the 0/AV key to switch your digi-
tal receiver to the external input AV. Press this key
again to return to normal operation.
4.5 HiFi Amplifier
4.5.1 Analogue
To achieve the best possible sound quality, you may connect
the digital receiver to a HiFi amplifier. To do this, use a suitable cable to connect the cinch sockets Audio R and Audio L
of the digital receiver with an input on your HiFi amplifier (e.g.
CD or AUX; please note that the Phono input is not suitable!).
12
4.5.2 Digital
Should your amplifier be equipped with an appropriate electrical or optical input, you may connect the sockets AUDIO
OUT DIGITAL elektrical resp.. AUDIO OUT DIGITAL optical
with the electrical resp. the optical input of your amplifier.
Depending on the channel selected, sampling rates of 32,
44,1 and 48 kHz are available.
Where broadcast, the Dolby Digital-Signal (AC3) is also available at this output.
4.6 Unit with S-Video input (Hosiden)
h To connect the S-Video output with a unit equipped
with an S-Video input (e.g. beamer etc.).
4.7 Serial Interface (RS 232)
The RS 232 interface serves to carry out pre-programming

When the scan is completed
When the scan has been completed, the number of transponders found, the number of programmes as well as the number
of new programmes found will be displayed. In addition, you
will be prompted (Fig. 5-14) to decide whether you want to
automatically include the programmes found in the TV or
Radio lists. If you decide to include the programmes automatically, you can then decide whether they should be included in
the Favourites list in sorted or unsorted form.
If the programmes found are accepted in sorted form,these
are sorted into the Favourites list in accordance with a preprogrammed system. This means that the order in which the
programmes are included is primarily based on the audio
language, as selected in the installation step Audio language.
If German has been selected as the audio language, the
sorting order can be further differentiated in terms of the country seleced in the installation step Country (Germany, Austria
or Switzerland).
If the new programmes are accepted in unsorted form, then
the newly found programmes are simply added in unsorted
order at the end of the Favourites list.
