Dear customer,
congratulations on your decision to purchase the TechniSat
DIGITMod S1 digital receiver.
The operating manual you are reading is designed to help you
gain optimum use and enjoyment from the comprehensive
functions of your new digital receiver.
We have designed the operating manual to be as comprehensive as necessary, and as simple as possible.
The range of functions of your receiver is constantly being
expanded, and software updates are available for this. This
may occasionally mean that operating steps are added which
are not described in this manual, or there may be changes to
functions already included. We therefore recommend that you
occasionally visit the TechniSat homepage in the Internet,
from where you can download the current version of the operating manual.
We wish you many years of listening and viewing pleasure
with your TechniSat DIGITMod S1!
Your
TechniSat 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 displayed along the
bottom of the screen in the shape of coloured bars. These
coloured bars represent different functions in the individual
menues, which can be implemented by pressing the
appropriate coloured key (“multi-function key”) on the remote
control. The “function keys” are only active when a brief des-
8
cription is displayed in the appropriate field.
Key descriptions and terms that appear on 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.

na cable. If your external installation is equipped with DiSEqC com-
ponents, you must switch on the DiSEqC control:
> In this line, use the OK key to switch DiSEqC on or off.
As only one LNC can be addressed if the DiSEqC control is
switched off, the menu is restricted to the configuration of a
single LNC.
6.4.2 Setting the switching matrix
Four switching criteria for the DiSEqC control are indicated in the
menu. You receiver is pre-programmed, so that ASTRA will be recei-
ved at switching position A/A and Eutelsat at switching position B/A
of a multi-switch. Should your receiving installation be configured dif-
ferently, or should you receive other satellites, you can adjust the set-
tings of your digital receiver to your antenna as follows.

Symbol rate
The symbol rate indicates the volume of data being transmitted per
second. This could be, for instance, 27500 (i.e. 27500 symbols per
second). Enter the appropriate symbol rate using the numeric keys.
User LNC
If you have entered User LNC under the DiSEqC type, additional
settings may be made:
LOFlow band
LOF (Local oscillator frequency) is the frequency at which an LNC
converts the frequency received into the so-called 1. intermediate
frequency, which then can be received and interpreted by the digital
receiver. So-called Universal LNCs
work with 2 LOFs, in order to cover the entire reception range from
10.7 to 11,8 GHz (low-band) and 11,7 to 12,75 GHz (high-band).
> In this line, use the numeric keys to enter the LOF of the
Low Band of yourLNC.
LOF high band
> In this line, use the numeric keys to enter the LOF of the
High Band of yourLNC.
Transition LOF low/high
> In this line, use the numeric keys to enter the frequency at
which the LNC makes the transition from the Low Band to
the High Band.
> Press OK to accept the setting.
Signal/Quality
Provided you have entered the data for the test transponder
correctly, these lines will indicate the signal strength and quality.
6.4.4 Rotating antenna
If you are using the digital receiver in conjunction with a rotating
antenna equipped with a DiSEqC motor (Level 1.2), switch the
DiSEqC control (Point 6.4.1) on and please note Point 9 of the
operating manual.
