Associated functions are assembled together in a "MENU". The selected function will be
highlighted in colour. The “Function keys” are displayed in red, yellow, green and blue colour
cursors in the bottom line. These colour cursors have different functions in the separate
menus and these can be executed by pressing the appropriately colour key (“multi-function
key”) on the remote control. The “Function keys” are only active if a brief description is
displayed in the relevant field.
Key names and commands that are displayed in the OSD menu are printed in bold in this
operating manual.
Help:
Help text, if available, can be displayed or suppressed by pressing the blue function key in
the menus.

f
4.1 External unit
a Use the cable comming from the terrestrial aerial (roof or room aerial) to connect up
to the terrestrial aerial input on the receiver.
A roof aerial should be used whenever possible. A room aerial might be sufficient if
reception is very good. The aerial power supply must be switched on if
you are using an active aerial (Section 6.2.4).
4.2 TV connection
4.2.1 Using a HDMI cable
b Use a HDMI cable to connect up the receiver (HDMI output) to the TV (HDMI
input).
If your TV is equipped accordingly it will switch over automatically to the HDMI input
when the digital receivers is switched on.
4.2.2 Using a SCART cable
c Use a SCART cable to connect up the receiver (TV SCART socket) to the TV
(SCART socket). If your TV is equipped accordingly it will switch over automatically to
AV and DVB-T mode when the digital receivers is switched on.
4.2.3 Using a HF cable
The digital receiver must be connected up to the TV's aerial input so that you can also
receive analog programmes. Only analog programmes will be passed to the TV via this
connection. A HDMI connection or a SCART connection must be set up in compliance with
Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 in order to show DVB-T programmes on your TV.
d Use a suitable TV connecting cable to connect up the receiver (Aerial output) with
the TV's aerial input.
4.3 HiFi amplifier
4.3.1 Analogue
e The digital receiver can be connected up to a HiFi amplifier in order to obtain the best
sound possible. Use a suitable cable ton connect up the Audio R and Audio L
Cinch sockets on the digital receivers to an input on your HiFi amplifier (e.g. CD or
AUX; Attention! the record player input is unsuitable for this!).
4.3.2 Digital
e If your amplifier is supplied from an appropriate electrical input, then you can connect
up the Digit audio output (electrical) with your amplifier's electrical input.
Sampling rates of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz are available, but this depends on the
respective station. The Dolby Digital signal (AC3) is also available at this output, if it is
broadcast.
