> 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

7.3 Reception of encrypted programmes*
Your receiver is equipped with an integrated decoding
system* as well as with a Common Interface*. This allows
you to receive and view encrypted programmes. To use this
feature, you must first either insert a valid Smartcard in the
integrated card reader or you must insert a CI module together with a valid Smartcard in the slot provided:
> Insert the valid Smartcard in the card slot of the inte-
grated card reader*.
or
> Insert a CI module in the slot* provided.
> Insert the Smartcard in the card slot of the CI module.
Ensure that the gold chip is located on the upper side
of the card, in the direction in which it is inserted.
> If an encrypted programme is selected, your digital
receiver automatically checks on the card reader and
the slot, and will display the programme in unencryp-
ted form provided you have a valid smart card for this
programme, resp. an appropriate CI module containing
a valid smart card.
Manual Initialising of the CI module*
> You can initialise the CI module manually in normal
operation by holding down the red function key for
some time.

pushing it carefully as far as it will go into the card reader
located on the back panel.
Certain programme slots provide specific special functions.
Multi-feed channels allow you, for instance, in the case of
sports broadcasts to choose from various venues (National
League soccer), or you can select different sound channels
(stadium vs. TV commentary), or you can choose from several camera positions available at a single event (Formula 1
racing).
In addition, you can select the preferred starting time for your
movie selection.
* Only for receivers equipped with
this feature

Parental Control*
The entry of a PIN code allows you to view programmes with
restricted access for children even during the daytime,
without compromising the basic tenet of parental control. In
Germany, for a programme to be accessible to children and
teenagers, the programme must be coded with an age group
release which is part of the television self-control programme
monitored by the state youth authorities. To view a pre-blokked programme you must enter the 4-digit Smartcard PIN
code. You will obtain this PIN code together with your
Smartcard.
27
* Only for receivers equipped with
this feature
(Fig. 7-10)
7.3.1.3 Smartcard PIN-Code*
Your digital receiver is equipped with a parental control function that allows you to block individual programmes as well as
access to the main menu (see Points 6.2.1 and 8.1.6).
In addition programmes not suitable for viewing by children
are pre-blocked by means of an age group code. This parental control for programmes is permanently active, and cannot
be de-activated as described in Point 8.1.6. To unblock a particular programme, you must enter the Smartcard PIN
code. This PIN code is stored on the Smartcard. You will
receive it when you receive the card.
The Smartcard PIN code is thus not the same as the
Receiver PIN code of the digital receiver (Point 8.2) and
should not be confused with this.
As soon as you have inserted a Smartcard in the card reader
slot, only the Smartcard PIN code will be active.
If you switch to a channel currently broadcasting a pre-blokked programme, or if you attempt to call up the main menu, a
message will be displayed.
> To view the programme, or to call up the main menu,
use the numeric keys to enter the 4-digit
Smartcard PIN code.
> As soon as the correct code has been entered, you
will be able to view the programme or to access the
main menu.
If the PIN code has been entered incorrectly, you can
repeat the entry, or you can exit the menu by pressing
Back.

The coordinates of your location must be entered as a
decimal value, correct to one decimal place. As the coordinates are usually stated in degrees, minutes and
seconds, these must be converted to a decimal value as
follows:
The full degree value is not affected by the calculation. The
minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal place.
The result of this division is added to the degree value.
Seconds are not considered for the calculation, as they do
not influence the first decimal place.
Example: Coordinates of Daun/Germany
Latitude 50° 11‘(45“) N
Longitude 06° 50‘ (10‘‘) E
Converting the degrees latitude (LA):
LA = 50 + 11/60
LA = 50 + 0,2 (rounded)
LA = 50,2
To enter the geographic latitude in the menu, use the value
rounded to one decimal place (50,2).
The same method is used to calculate the decimal value of
the longitudinal position.

10 Technical Terms
Antenna cable:
Cable used to connect the modulator of the satellite receiver
to the antenna input socket of the television set. Used as an
alternative where no SCART socket is available
External installation:
Term used to describe those components of the total system
located outdoors, consisting of the parabolic or offset dish
antenna, as well as one or several LNCs, used to receive signals from one or more satellites
AV: see SCART
Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:
The transmission of the current television standard (625
lines, and a picture frequency of 50 Hz) results in a digital
data volume of 216 MBit/s.
This would require enormous bandwidths which are simply
not available, neither via satellite nor via terrestrial reception.
Therefore the data is compressed in order to achieve a
reduction in the data volume. For Europe,MPEG-2 has been
laid down as the world-wide standard for data compression.
MPEG2 is an expanded version of MPEG1
Deemphasis:
Adaptation of the audio frequency band to the broadcast signal, this is determined by the broadcast parameters of the
satellite
DiSEqC:
Digital Satellite Equipment Control: a digital control/switching
signal used to control DiSEqC-compatible components of the
external installation via the antenna cable. An example of an
installation utilizing DiSEqC components can be seen in
.

Coaxial cable:
Cable used to connect the LNC to the satellite receiver, used
to transmit the signal received as well as to provide power to
the LNC.
LNB/LNC (Low Noise Block Converter):
Receiving unit located at the focus of the parabolic dish
antenna, converts the frequency range of the satellite to the
intermediate frequency of the digital receiver.
LOF:
Local oscillator frequency; expressed in terms of MHz or
GHz; varies depending on the LNC and the frequency range
received. Receiving frequency of the digital receiver =
Broadcast frequency of the satellite - LOF
Modulation at 22 KHz:
Apart from 14/28 Volt switching, this also serves to switch
between 2 LNCs. In the Universal LNC it serves to switch to
the High Band
Modulator:
Switch in the satellite receiver or the video recorder, used to
connect the television set via antenna cable
Parabolic dish antenna:
Dish antenna made of aluminium or coated synthetics, has a
parabolic shape to focus and concentrate the electromagnetic
waves broadcast by the satellite in a focal point
Polarisation plane:
To improve utilization of the available frequency range, satellites broadcast neighbouring programmes using opposite polarisation (horizontal and vertical or laevo-rotatory and dextrorotatory, i.e. left-turning and right-turning). To receive both planes you require either two Single LNCs or a V/H-LNC.
Receiver: see Satellite receiver
Satellite:
The satellite is usually described in terms of its operator and
its orbital position,
ASTRA 19° East
EUTELSAT 13° East
Satellite receiver:
The signals received and converted by the LNC cannot be
processed by the television set. The signals are processed by
the satellite receiver in such a way that its outputs provide
audio and video signals (AV) which can be interpreted by the
television set.
SCART:
Type of connector used on television sets, video recorders,
satellite receivers and other home electronics components to
transmit audio and video signals (AV).
Software Update:
Digital television is a new medium that provides improved
sound and picture quality as well as the facility to provide
interactive services.
60
These new services are constantly being developed and
improved by the providers. To utilize the services, it may
occasionally be necessary to update the software of the digital receiver.
Transponder:
Located on the satellite, serves to process one or several
programmes. It receives the signal from the ground station,
amplifies it, and broadcasts the signal back to earth.
Universal LNC:
Used for reception of the frequency ranges FFS (10,70 11,70 GHz), BBS (11,70 - 12,50 GHz) and FFS High Band
(12,50 - 12,75 GHz). The entire range is divided into two
bands:
Low Band: 10,70 - 11,80 GHz; LOF 9750 MHz
High Band 11,70 - 12,75 GHz ; LOF 10600 MHz
Operating voltage:
LNCs are supplied with power via the coaxial cable. To this
end, the receiver provides a voltage of 14 or 18 Volts
Intermediate Frequency:
The frequency range broadcast from the satellite cannot be
transmitted via cable. It is therefore converted by the LNC to
an intermediate frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz. This
allows the signal to be transmitted, and processed in the digital receiver.
