> Do not place any burning items, such as burning
candles, on top of the unit.
> Do not place any containers filled with liquid, such as
vases, on top of the unit, and ensure the unit remains
dry, i.e. it must not be subjected to water spray or dro-
plets.
> The unit may only be operated in a temperate climate.
> Do not open the cover of your unit! You are in danger
of receiving an electric shock. If it becomes necessary
to open the unit, this should only be done by trained
personnel.
In the following cases you should disconnect the unit
from the mains power and consult a specialist repair service:
> the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged
> the unit has been exposed to humidity, or liquid has
entered the casing
> in case of severe malfunction
> in case of significant external damage

4 Connections
The references a b c etc. mentioned below refer to the illustration on page 10.
4.1 Mains power connection
The digital receiver should only be connected to the mains
power supply after it has been completely connected with all
other components in the system. This serves to avoid the
digital receiver or other components being damaged or
destroyed.
a When you have completed making all the connec-
tions, use the mains cable supplied to connect the
receiver to a mains power outlet 85-288 V/50-60 Hz.
4.2 External unit
4.2.1 Single operation
b Use a suitable coaxial cable to connect the LNC
input of the digital receiver to the LNC of your
external unit. Please also note Point 6 “Settings”.
4.2.2 Operation with an additional receiver in a sin-
gle-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 coaxial cable. In order
for the additional receiver to receive the satellite sig-
nal, your DVB receiver must remain in Standby mode
at all times. When the DVB receiver is switched on,
this will take over the priority control over the LNC.
4.3 Connection to a television set
When you have completed connecting your digital receiver to
the television set as described in this chapter, it may be
necessary to adjust the digital receiver to the television broadcast standard of your TV set before proceeding with further
settings.
See also Point 6.3.5 (Video system).
4.3.1 On SCART cables
In order to enjoy the optimum picture quality you should connect the digital receiver to your television set by means of a
SCART cable.
11
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,
this will be switched automatically to AV, and thus to
satellite reception, when the digital receiver is switched
on.
4.3.2 On RF cables*
If your television set is not equipped with a SCART socket,
the digital receiver must be connected to the antenna input of
the television set. In this case, sound can only be reproduced
in mono mode.
Proceed as follows:
e Use a suitable TV connection cable to connect the
receiver (RF output) to the antenna input of the television set.
f The cable coming from the terrestrial antenna must be
connected to the Terrestrial antenna input of the
digital receiver.
You must now set the television set to the output channel of
the digital receiver. Select a free programme slot on the television set, and tune it to Channel 38 (if necessary, refer to the
operating manual of the television set).
If you cannot obtain a clear picture on Channel 38, this channel or a neighbouring channel may already be tuned to a
channel being received via the antenna. You can confirm this
by briefly removing the antenna cable from the Terrestral
antenna input socket of the digital receiver. If you then
temporarily receive a better picture, you should select a different channel in the range of 21 to 69 for the digital receiver.
Setting the UHF output channel
To set an optimum UHF output channel, call up the menu
Audio/Video Settings, as described in 6.3., and select the
field UHF output channel. Then proceed as desribed
under 6.3.7.
4.4 Video cassette recorder (VCR)
g Connect the video recorder to the SCART socket
VCR. When set to Play, the video recorder will deliver
a switching signal to the digital receiver. The video
recorder signal will thus be provided automatically to
the TV set.
If your video recorder does not provide a switching sig-
nal, press the key EXTERN to set your digital recei-
ver to the external AV input. Press this key again to
return to normal operation.
* Only for receivers equipped with
this feature
