3.1 Important notes for use
The on-screen display (OSD) makes it easier to use the digital receiver and reduces the
number of remote control buttons that need to be pressed. All functions are displayed on the
screen and can be controlled with just a few buttons. Related functions are grouped together
as a MENU. The selected function is highlighted in colour. The function buttons are represented by four coloured bars (red, yellow, green, blue) at the bottom of the screen. These
coloured bars represent differing functions in the individual menus, which can be activated
by pressing the corresponding coloured button (multi-function button) on the remote control.
The function buttons are only active when a brief designation appears in the corresponding
field. Button designations and terms that appear in the OSD menu are printed in bold text
throughout these operating instructions.
Help:
When available, you can display/hide the help text in the menus by pressing the blue function button.

> Do not expose the device to dripping/splashing water, and do not place objects that
contain fluids (such as vases) on the device.
> Do not operate heaters near the device. This will cause the device to become hotter.
> The device may only be operated in a moderate environment.
> Never open the device. This could give you an electric shock. Any necessary repair
work should be performed only by trained technicians.
You should disconnect the device from the mains and contact a technician in the
following cases:

4.1 Outdoor unit
a Connect the cable that extends from the terrestrial antenna (roof antenna or
indoor antenna) to the terrestrial antenna input on the receiver.
Use a roof antenna, if possible. An indoor antenna may be sufficient if you have
favourable reception conditions. When using an active antenna,
the antenna feed must be switched on (section 6.2.4).
4.2 Connection to a television set
4.2.1 Via HDMI cable
b Use an HDMI cable to connect the receiver (HDMI output) with the television set
(HDMI input).
If your television set is appropriately equipped, it will automatically switch to the HDMI
input when you turn on the digital receiver.
4.2.2 Via SCART cable
c Use a SCART cable to connect the receiver (TV SCART socket) with the televi-
sion set (SCART socket). If your television set is appropriately equipped, it will auto-
matically switch to AV (and therefore to DTT mode) when you turn on the digital
receiver.
4.2.3 Via RF cable
In order to continue receiving existing analogue programmes, the digital receiver must be
connected to the antenna input on your television set. This connection is used exclusively
to transmit analogue programmes to the television set. In order to display DTT programmes
on your television set, you must make the HDMI connection or the SCART connection (see
sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2).
d Use a suitable TV connection cable to connect the receiver (antenna output) with
the antenna input on your television set.
4.3 Video recorder (VCR)
e Connect the video recorder to the VCR SCART socket. During playback, the video
recorder sends a switching signal to the digital receiver. The video recorder's signal
is thereby automatically received by the TV set. If your video recorder does not
provide switching voltage, use the AV button to switch your digital receiver to the
external AV input. Pressing this button again will return the device to normal opera-
tion.
4.4 Hi-fi amplifier
4.4.1 Analogue
f To obtain the best possible sound quality, you can connect the digital receiver to
a hi-fi amplifier. To do so, use a suitable cable to connect the right audio and
left audio RCA jacks on the digital receiver with an input on your hi-fi amplifier
(e.g CD or AUX; Note: the phono input is not suitable).
11
4.4.2 Digital
f If your amplifier is equipped with an appropriate electrical input, connect the digital
(electrical) audio output with the electrical input on your amplifier.
Depending on the particular station, sample rates of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are available. Also, if it is broadcast, the Dolby Digital signal (AC3) is present at this output.
4.5 Mains connection
The digital receiver should not be connected to the mains power supply until after all of the
connections with other components have been made. This helps to avoid damage to the
digital receiver, as well as to other components.
g After all of the connections have been made, use the included mains adapter to con-
nect the receiver to an electrical outlet (230 V/50-60 Hz).
12
5 Initial installation
After you have read through the safety instructions and connected the device according to
the instructions contained in section 4, it is now time to switch on the device (as described
