Dear customer,

congratulations on your decision to purchase the MultyMedia TS 1 digital receiver.

The operating manual supplied is intended to help you tuilise the comprehensive functions of your new digital receiver to the fullest extent.

We have kept the operating instructions as brief as possible, and have used terminology that everybody can understand.

The range of functions of your receiver is constantly being expanded in the form of software updates. This means that additional steps in the operation may be added that are not yet described in this operating manual, or the operation of existing functions may be changed. For this reason you should occasionally visit the TechniSat homepage, to download the current version of the operating manual.

We wish you many years of viewing pleasure with your TechniSat

MultyMedia TS 1!

Your

TechniSat Team

3 Please read this first

>Before starting to use your receiver, please check that all the components have been supplied correctly. The following should be included:

1 digital receiver, 1 mains adapterr and connection cable,

1 remote control, 1 operating manual,

1 guarantee card, 2 batteries (1,5V microcells)

1 SCART cable.

>Please insert the batteries supplied in the battery compartment of the remote control unit, with attention to the correct polarity as indicated.

Important notes on operation

The use of so-called "On Screen Displays" (OSD) means that operation of the digital receiver is simplified, and the number of keys on the remote control unit reduced. All functions are displayed on screen, and can be controlled by means of a few simple keystrokes. Functions that are logically connected are combined in a "MENU". Any function selected will be indicated in a different colour. The function keys red, yellow, blue and green are indicated by coloured bars at the bottom of the screen. In the various menues, these coloured bars represent different functions, which can be implemented by pressing the appropriate coloured keys (multi-function keys) on the remote control. The function keys are only activated when a brief description is displayed in the appropriate field.

Key names and terms that appear in the OSD menu are shown in black type in this operating manual.

Help: where available, press the blue function key in the menues to display a help text; press again to close the help window.

Disposal advice

The packaging material of your receiver consists entirely of recyclable materials. Please sort the components appropriately, and dispose of them in line with your local waste disposal regulations. At the end of its useful life span, this receiver may not be disposed of in your regular domestic refuse bin. It must be taken to a recycling collection point for electrical and electronic equipment. The symbol on the product, the operating manual or the packaging will indicate this.

The materials used are recyclable and re-usable in accordance with their labelling. By ensuring that valuable raw materials are used again you can make a valuable contribution towards protecting our environment.

Please contact your local authorities for the location of the nearest recycling collection point.

Please ensure that spent batteries removed from the remote control are not disposed of in your regular household refuse, but are correctly disposed either in special bins for problem waste, or at collection points in the retail trade.

Safety notes

For your own protection you should read the safety notes carefully before proceeding to operate your new receiver.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by careless and irresponsbile handling, or by non-compliance with the safety notes.

>To ensure adequate ventilation, place the receiver on a smooth, horizontal surface and do not place any objects on top of the receiver, as ventilation slots are located here to allow heat to be dissipated from the interior of the unit.

>Do not place any burning objects, such as burning candles, on top of the receiver.

>Do not subject the receiver to water droplets or water spray, and do not place any obkects filled with liquid, such as vases, on top of the receiver.

>Operate the receiver only in a temperate climate.

>Do not open the reciever housing under any circumstances! You are in danger of receiving an electrical shock. If it is necessary to effect repairs in the receiver, these should only be carried out by trained and qualified service person-

nel.

In the following cases you should disconnect the receiver from the mains power, and should consult an expert:

>the mains cable or the mains plug are damaged

>the receiver was exposed to liquid, or liquid has run into the unit

>in case of severe malfunctions

>in case of significant external damage

Operating breaks

In case of electrical storms, or in case of extended operating breaks (e.g. while on holiday), the receiver should be disconnected from the mains power supply.

4 Connecting the DVB receiver

a.Connecting the LNB with the LNB input (LNB IN) of the DVB receiver.

b.Connection of the terrestrial antenna input with the DVB-T antenna.

c.Scart connection of the DVB receiver with the television set.

d.Scart connection of a video recorder with the VCR Scart socket of the DVB receiver.

e.Connection from the audio outputs to a hi-fi system.

f.Mains power connection

VCR

The following references a b c etc. refer to the illustration on page 10.

4.1 External unit

a Use a suitable co-axial cable to connect the LNB input of the digital receiver with the LNB of your external unit. Please also note Point 6 "Settings".

4.2 Antenna

bThe cable coming from the terrestrial antenna (indoor or roof-mounted antenna) must be connected to the

Input terrestrial antenna of the receiver.

If possible, you should give preference to using a roofmounted antenna. Under favourable conditions, an indoor antenna may also be sufficient. When using an active antenna without an external feed, the antenna feed must be switched on (Point 6.5).

4.3 Connection to a television set

cUse the SCART cable supplied to connect the receiver (SCART socket TV) with the television set (SCART socket). If your television set is appropriately equipped, this will be switched to AV mode automatically when the digital receiver is switched on, and is thus switched to receiver operation.

4.4 Video cassette recorder (VCR)

dConnect the video recorder to the SCART socket VCR. In playback mode the video recorder will supply a switching signal to the digital receiver. This allows the video recorder signal to be fed automatically to the TV set.

If your video recorder does not prtovide a switching current, switch your digital receiver to the external input AV using the EXTERN key. Press this key again to return to normal operation.

4.5 Hi-fi amplifier

4.5.1 Analogue

eTo achieve the best possible sound quality, you can connect your digital receiver to a hi-fi amplifier. To do this, use a suitable cable to connect the cinch sockets Audio R and Audio L of the digital receiver with an input of your hi-fi amplifier (e.g. CD or AUX; note that the phono input is not suitable!).

4.5.2 Digital

eIf your amplifier is equipped with a suitable electrical or optical input, you should connect the socket AUDIO OUT DIGITAL electrical resp. AUDIO OUT DIGITAL optical wmwith the electrical resp. optical input of your amplifier.

Depending on the signal provided by each individual channel, sampling rates of 32, 44,1 and 48 kHz are available.

In addition, where broadcast, the Dolby Digital signal (AC3) is also available.

4.6 Serial interface (RS 232)

The RS 232 interface is used in conjunction with updating the operating software or pre-programming via a PC.

4.7 Mains power connection

The digital receiver should only be connected to the mains power supply once you have completed making all the connections with the various other components. This will avoid possible damage to the digital receiver or other components.

fOnce you have made all the other connections, use the mains adapter supplied to connect the receiver to a mains power outlet 230 V/50-60 Hz.

5 Initial installation

Once you have read the safety notes, and have connected the digital receiver as described in Chapter 4, you can now switch on the receiver as described in Chapter 7. When switching on the receiver for the first time, the starting window of the installation assistant AutoInstall will be displayed. The installation assistant allows you to make the most important settings of your digital receiver in the simplest way possible. To make the settings in each respective step of the installation procedure, the keys on the remote control required for this will be marked.

At each step of the installation there will be an explanation, which settings can be made.

You can interrupt the initial installation by pressing the red function key in the starting window of the installation assistant. In the following steps of the installation, you can then confirm the settings made by pressing the green function key; you will then be taken to the next step of the installation procedure. If you press the red function key you will be taken to the previous step of the installation, thus giving you an opportunity to correct errors at any time.

If the initial installation is not performed, or if it is aborted, the receiver will commence operation with a standard pre-pro- grammed procedure.

The initial installation process shown here serves merely as an example. The exact process of the initial installation will depend on the settings you select.

Please therefore follow all instructions displayed on screen carefully.
