Dear customer,
thank you for selecting the TechniSat DIGIT 4 S digital receiver, and congratulations on your new acquisition.
The operating manual is designed to help you make optimum
use of the comprehensive functions of your new digital receiver.
We have tried to keep the operating instructions as clear and
simple as possible, while at the the same time keeping them
concise and yet comprehensive.
The range of functions of your receiver is currently being
expanded by software updates. This may mean that occasionally operating steps will be added that are not yet described
in this manual, or there may be cases where the operation of
existing functions is changed. For this reason we recommend
that you should visit our Internet homepage from time to time,
as you can download the latest and most current version of the
operating manual from there.
We wish you many years of viewing enjoyment with your
TechniSat DIGIT 4 S digital receiver !
Your
Service Team

Important operating instructions
Operation of the digital receiver is simplified by the use of socalled "On Screen Displays", this also serves to reduce the
number of keys required on the remote control unit. All functions are displayed on the screen, and can be operated with a
few keys. Related functions are combined in a "MENU". The
function selected is highlighted in colour. The “function keys”
red, yellow, green and blue are indicated by colour bars in the
bottom line. These colour bars represent different functions in
the various menues, which will be activated by pressing the
appropriate coloured key (multifunction key) on the remote
control. The “Function keys” are only active when a brief description is displayed in the appropriate field. Key names and
8
terms that are displayed in the OSD menu are printed bold in
this operating manual.
Help: Where available in the menues, pressing the blue
function key will cause a help text to be displayed, pressing
again will remove the text from the screen.
Disposal advice
The packaging for your unit consists entirely of recyclable
material. Please sort the items appropriately, and sort them

candles, on top of the unit.
> Do not subject the unit to water spray or droplets, and
do not place any objects filled with liquuid, e.g. vases,
on top of the unit.
> The unit may only be operated in a temperate climate.
>

external installation. Please also note Point 6
"Settings".
4.2 Connection to a television set
b Use a SCART cable to connect the receiver (SCART
socket TV) with the television set (SCART socket).
If your television set is appropriately equipped, it will
switch automatically to AV, and thus to satellite reception, when the digital receiver is switched on.
4.3 Video cassette recorder (VCR)
c Connect the video recorder to the SCART socket mar-
ked VCR. In Playback mode, the video recorder will
supply a switching signal to the digital receiver, thus
supplying the video recorder signal automatically to

and Audio L of the digital receiver with an input of
your Hi-Fi amplifier (e.g. CD or AUX - note that the
Phono input is not suitable).
4.4.2 Digital
d If your amplifier is equipped with a suitable electrical
or optical input, connect the socket AUDIO OUT
DIGITAL electrical resp. AUDIO OUT DIGITAL
optical with the electrical resp. optical input of your
