Reading the operating instructions
Carefully read the safety precautions (chapter 3) before connecting the
receiver.
Chapters 4 and 5 explain how to connect and adapt the receiver to the
outdoor unit (antenna, LNB,...), the TV set, etc. The set-up is required
only once; you only need to make amendments in case the outdoor unit
installation has changed or additional equipment has been connected,
e.g. a decoder.
Chapter 6 describes all functions necessary for every-day
use, such as channel selection or volume control.
Chapter 7 describes the Eurocrypt decoder functions.
Chapter 8 gives you information on the teletext.
Chapter 9 gives you information on how to set up new channels or how
to change the channel order.
Chapter 10 lists the pre-programmed channels.
Troubleshooting notes can be found in chapter 11.
Technical terms used in the operating instructions are explained in
chapter 12.
Important notes on device control
The use of a so-called “On-Screen Display” simplifies receiver control
and reduces the number of keys on the remote control. All functions are
displayed on the TV screen and can be controlled with few key strokes.
Related functions have been collected to a “MENU”. A “CURSOR”
marks the function to be controlled. This function then is displayed on a
coloured background.
Example:

4 Connections
4.1 Outdoor unit
a) Use an appropriate coax cable to connect the receiver´s input E1
with the receiving equipment´s LNB output.You may connect a second
LNB to input E2. For further details, see chapter 5 “Installation”.
If an input is overloaded, the display shows “OuLd” for “Overload”
when the receiver has been switched on. In case of a short-circuit on
receiver input E1 or E2 the device switches off automatically. In both
cases, switch off the receiver by the mains switch and eliminate the
malfunction.
4.2 Television
b) Connect the receiver to a 230 V/50 Hz socket and switch it on by
the mains switch.
c) Use a SCART cable to connect the receiver (SCART TV) with the TV
(SCART input). If your television does not switch to AV operation
automatically, you will need to switch over manually.
d) If your television set is not equipped with a SCART socket, you can
also use an antenna cable to connect the receiver´s modulator TV output
with the antenna input. Plug the cable coming from the antenna into the
modulator input ANT.
Your television set has to be adjusted to the transmission channel of the
receiver. Select a free channel on your TV set and adjust it to channel
39.

> Fine tuning on the TV set
4.3 Amplifier
e) In order to achieve maximum sound quality, the receiver can be
connected to a Hifi amplifier. Use an adequate amplifier input (e.g. CD
or AUX; Warning: the “phono” input is not appropriate!) to link it with
the receiver´s audio R/L cinch jacks.
4.4 V ideo Cassette Recorder (VCR)
f) Connect the video recorder to the SCART input marked “VCR”.
When playing, the video recorder gives a switching signal to the
receiver and the audio and video signals are directed to the SCART
output TV and the modulator output TV provided the receiver was not
switched off by the mains switch.
If your video recorder does not produce a switching voltage, the
receiver has to be switched to standby mode by pressing on
the remote control when the recorder is playing. When connected to
SCART, the TV set has to be switched to AV operation.
4.5 Decoder
g) Connect the decoder with the SCART input marked “DECODER”.
You can toggle between six decoder signals to adapt to different
decoder types.
I A: “flat”, audio signal of receiver (internal)
E A: “flat”, audio signal of decoder (external)
I C: video unclamped, audio signal of receiver (internal)
E C: video unclamped, audio signal of decoder (external)
I D: video, audio signal of receiver (internal)
E D: video, audio signal of decoder (external)
Consult the decoder´s user manual to find out which signal is required
and select the signal type according to the description in chapter 9.3.

5.3 Standard outdoor unit
The most common outdoor units (dish or flat plate antenna + LNB) are
combined in list 10.1. By selecting the corresponding letter the receiver
can easily and quickly be adapted to your outdoor unit.
Outdoor unit A (ASTRA system with 9.75 GHz LNB) is factory preprogrammed.
> Call the installation menu (rf. page 6)
> Press to confirm language
> Press to move cursor to “Outdoor unit”
> Press to switch over to the corresponding letter (list 10.1)
> Press to quit the menu
5.4 Special outdoor unit
5.4.1 Changing LNB voltage 14/18 V
When using systems with multiswitches it may happen that the standard
adjustments of LNB voltage and polarisation level (14V=vertical,
18V=horizontal) are swapped. To avoid the modification of each single
programme, the assignment can easily be swapped. Swapping has to
be adjusted separately for each satellite.
> Call the installation menu (rf. page 6)
> Press to confirm language
> Press to move cursor to “Outdoor unit”
> Press
> Press to move cursor to “LNB supply 14/18V”
> Press to switch over
> Press to move cursor to “S t o r e”
> Press
> Press to quit the menu
5.4.2 LOF setting
In order to adjust local oscillator frequencies (LOF) which are not
included in the pre-programmation or in order to level out frequency
deviations of the LNB, you can modify the LOF by pressing as
you like.
Should this result in intermediate frequencies (“1. IF”) exceeding the
receiver frequency range of 910 to 2100 MHz, question marks are
displayed instead of the intermediate frequency. Direct input of the LOF
by using the ten-key keypad is only accepted when within the receiver
frequency range.
The LOF modification is valid for all channels of the satellite displayed in
the menu; you do not have to modify every single channel.
Example: > Outdoor unit A (ASTRA with 9750 MHz LNB) is
adjusted
> Channel 3, PRO 7 of ASTRA is on display
> Your LNB has the LOF 9800 MHz
> The LOF adjustment of the receiver has to be
changed to 9800 MHz
This means:
Modification of all ASTRA channels in the 11 GHz frequency range
> Call the installation menu (rf. page 6)
> Press to confirm language
> Press to move cursor to “Outdoor unit”
> Press
> Press to move cursor to “LOF”
> Enter 9 8 0 0 with the ten-key keypad
> Press
The modified LOF is only valid for the satellite shown in line “Sat.”
5.4.3 Individual satellite
combinations (complete example)
This receiver allows you to control any combination of 8 V/H LNBs or
16 single LNBs in an easy way. There is a great variety of possible
combinations particularly for multifeed systems for the reception of
several satellites.
In addition to V/H switching voltage and 22 kHz modulation, a
separate 0/5 V output allows control of external switches.
Additional adjustment possibilities are explained in the following
example:
Up to now you have received the ASTRA satellite with a 9750 MHz
V/H LNB. This is the factory setting (letter A) and did not have to be
changed for the first installation.
Additionally you want to receive “Arte” from Kopernikus. Therefore the
outdoor unit is enlarged with a 11 GHz single LNB and a 22 kHz
switch and is programmed in the installation menu.
> Call the installation menu (rf. page 6)
> Press to confirm language
> Press to move cursor to “Outdoor unit”
> Press
> Press to move cursor to “Sat.”
> Press to switch to “Kopern LB”
(LB stands for the lower frequency range.)
> Press to move cursor to “Input”
> Press to switch to “1”
> Press to move cursor to “LOF”
> Enter 1 0 0 0 0 for the LNB LOF
> Press to move cursor to “Modulation 22 kHz”
> Press to switch to “on”
> Press to move cursor to “S t o r e”
> Press to store modified data
Your receiver is now pre-programmed for the ASTRA satellites and the
lower range of the Kopernikus 23.5° East satellite. As no Kopernikus
channels are pre-programmed, you can programme the desired
channels on your own (rf. 9.3). When selecting a satellite with channels
already pre-programmed (e.g. Hispasat 30° West), those will
automatically appear in the channel list.
Following the description above, you can include or delete every
satellite in your channel list. Setting up new satellites of course is useful
only if they can be received with your outdoor unit. Please note that you
store every adjusted satellite immediately before turning to the next
satellite.
> Press to enter the previous menu, or
> Press to leave the menu
5.5 OSD
You can choose from the installation menu whether to have the OSD
information displayed on your TV screen in the form of video or RGB
signals. If your TV set is able to receive RGB signals, you should choose
this setting. Otherwise you should stick to the “video” setting.
> Call the installation menu (rf. page 6)
> Press to move cursor to “Video/RGB”
> Press to switch between “Video” and “RGB”
> Press to leave the menu
“Video” is set automatically when the installation menu is being called.
