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.

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.

12
Subscription:
You can subscribe certain kinds of programmes for a certain period of
time. What you have to pay is independent of what you actually watch.
In the submenu you find a table that tells you which categories you have
subscribed to, for which period of time and at which level.
Extensive lists that do not fit on the screen are divided into several
pages which can be turned over by pressing .
The following kinds of programmes (“categories”) are fixed:
> art > children´s programmes > clublife
> entertainment > movies > lifestyle
> music > news > series
> sports > special programmes > nature
> mini series > science > documentaries
> all programmes
Some programmes come with graded access levels. The issuer can bind
programme categories to bundles.
Subscription/class:
This kind of subscription works in a similar way, the only difference is
that there are “classes” represented by code numbers instead of
“programme categories”.
Booked view:
You can select and buy certain programmes with the help of a
programme preview. The price does not depend on which of the leased
programmes you actually watch.
The submenu shows a list of the programmes you have leased.
Pay per view:
The Eurocrypt card has an account that is reduced when watching TV
(similar to a telephone card). That means you only pay for the
programmes you are actually watching.
The submenu informs you of the programmes that are available and
their price. At the same time the following question is displayed:
If you answer with yes, the decoding procedure starts. Otherwise the
question is repeated in certain intervals.
At the beginning of the submenu a list shows the programmes that you

9.3 New channels
If required, you can add new channels to the pre-programmed set of
channels by using the menu “Programme data”. All adjustments are
valid for one channel position each.
Please note that the 22 kHz modulation of the LNB voltage
and the 0/5 V control signal are being determined by the
satellite to which the new channel has to be added. These
two control signals are set in the installation menu for each
satellite (rf. page 7). They are then valid for all channels
received from that satellite.
The following example explains the procedure:
The desired channel is not included in the pre-programmation. Channel
data is as follows:
Channel name: Pattern TV
Transmission frequency: 11,111 MHz
Audio: stereo on 7.02 and 7.20 MHz
Transmission standard: PAL
Polarisation: horizontal
Satellite: ASTRA
The new channel “Pattern TV” is to be set to channel position 3.
Outdoor unit: V/H LNB with LOF 9750 MHz (type A, see 10.1).
> Press to switch to TV channel
> Press
> Press to move cursor to “Programme data”
> Press
> Press to move cursor to first line
> Press or use the ten-key keypad to switch to
channel position 3
> Press to move cursor to “Sat.”
> Press to select the satellite (ASTRA in our example, see 10.1)
> Press to move cursor to “Frequency”
> Press or use the ten-key keypad to set “11111”
The intermediate frequency changes automatically.
> Press to move cursor to “MAC/PAL”
> Press to move cursor to “PAL” (switch to “MAC” for D/D2-
MAC channels)
> Press to move cursor to “Polarization”
> Press to switch to “H18”
Thus the horizontal polarisation level is being selected and the picture of
“Pattern TV” can be seen.
All necessary adjustments for the above-mentioned example have been
made.
> Press to move cursor to “S t o r e”
> Press
The channel is now stored on channel position 3.
If you do not want to overwrite a channel already pre-programmed, you
can use the copy function (see 9.1) to establish a new storage position.
You copy any channel from the pre-programmation to the desired
channel position number where you can adjust your new channel.
Other channels may require further adjustments:

possible reception frequency. In case of very weak reception signals,
e.g. on the edge of the satellite reception area, it may be advantageous
to switch off the AFC.

12 Technical terms
Antenna cable
Cable connection between the satellite receiver´s modulator and
antenna input of the television set; may be used alternatively when there
is no SCART connector attached.
Audio bandwidth
Ability to separate two subcarriers; it is determined by the broadcasting
parameters of each satellite. An excessive audio bandwidth results in an
interference between the desired subcarrier and adjacent subcarriers; a
very small bandwidth may lead to distortions.
AV
See SCART
Coax cable
Cable connection between LNB and satellite receiver which is used to
transfer the signals received and for the power supply of the LNB.
DBS
Direct Broadcasting Satellite; refers to satellites with a very high
broadcasting power in the DBS frequency range, e.g. TV-Sat.
Decoder
Individual device or electronic circuit incorporated into the satellite
receiver which is used to decode encoded channels (e.g. Premiere).
Deemphasis
Adaptation of the audio frequency waveform to the broadcast signal;
determined by the satellite´s broadcasting parameters.
Eurocrypt
Method of encoding television signals transmitted in MAC standard;
there are two variants: Eurocrypt M and Eurocrypt S.
Frequency
Physical quantity; indicates the number of vibrations per second; unit of
measurement is Hertz (Hz).
Frequency range
a) Satellite or LNB:
11 GHz range 10.7 to 11.7 GHz
DBS range 11.7 to 12.5 GHz
12.5 GHz range 12.5 to 12.75 GHz
b) Receiver: Intermediate frequency or 1st IF 950 to 2050 MHz
Hz
Frequency unit of measurement
1 Hz (Hertz) = 1 vibration per second
1 kHz (Kilohertz) = 1,000 vibrations per second
1 MHz (Megahertz) = 1,000,000 vibrations per second
1 GHz (Gigahertz) = 1,000,000,000 vibrations per second
Horizontal polarisation
See polarisation level
Intermediate frequency
The frequency range used for satellite broadcasts cannot be transported
over cabling systems; this is why the LNB converts these frequencies to
an intermediate range between 950 and 2050 MHz. This makes
frequency transfer and processing in the receiver possible.
1. IF
= intermediate frequency
LNB (Low Noise Block Converter)
Receiving unit centred in the focus of the parabolic antenna. It converts
the frequency range of the satellite into the intermediate frequency of the
receiver.
LOF
Local Oscillator Frequency; specified in MHz or GHz, depending on the
LNB and the received frequency range. Receiving frequency of the
receiver = Broadcasting frequency of the satellite LOF
Correlation between frequency range and LOF:
11 GHz range LOF 9.75 or 10 GHz
DBS range LOF 10.75 GHz
12.5 GHz range LOF 10.75 or 11.475 GHz
MAC
Abbreviation of “Multiplexed Analog Components”; method of
transmitting analog video and digital audio signals via satellite;
the following variants exist: B-, C-, D- and D2-MAC.
Mode
Determines if a channel is received in mono or stereo quality.
Modulation with 22 kHz
Additional control signal, e.g. for an external switching device used to
toggle between two LNBs.
Modulator
Electronic circuit in the satellite receiver or video recorder which is used
to connect to a television set via antenna cable.
Multyfeed
Outdoor unit consisting of a parabolic antenna and multiple LNBs for
the reception of several satellites.
Outdoor unit
Term used to describe the entire system which is mounted outdoors. It
consists of a parabolic antenna and one or more LNBs which are used
to receive the broadcasts from one or more satellites.
Parabolic antenna
Reflector of parabolic shape made from metal or coated plastic which is
used to focus the electromagnetic waves which are transmitted from a
satellite.
Polarisation level
For an efficient use of the available frequency range satellites broadcast
adjacent channels with opposite polarities (alternately horizontal and
vertical, or left-circular and right-circular). To receive both polarisation
levels, two single or one V/H LNB are necessary.
Radio channels
Apart from the television channels, satellites also broadcast radio
channels which are transported on subcarriers. In addition to the
subcarrier´s frequency further parameters have to be set: audio
bandwidth, deemphasis and mode.
Receiver
See satellite receiver
Satellite
Name and position of the satellite relative to the orbit,
e.g. name: Eutelsat position: 13° East or - 13°
Telecom 2B 5° West or +5°
Satellite receiver
The signals received and converted by the LNB cannot be used by the
television. The satellite receiver re-processes the signals so that its
outputs provide common audio and video signals (AV) that can be
transferred to the television.
SCART
Connector on television sets, video cassette recorders, satellite receivers
and other consumer electronic equipment used to produce audio and
video signals (AV).
MultyMac 6
27
Single LNB
LNB used to receive one polarisation level.
Subcarrier
Carrier frequencies for television sound or radio channels which are
being transmitted together with the television picture; a stereo channel
requires two subcarriers, e.g. 7.38 and 7.56 MHz.
Supply voltage
LNBs are powered via the coax cable; the receiver supplying a voltage
of 14 or 18 volts.
Vertical polarisation
See polarisation level
V/H LNB
LNB which allows the reception of both polarisation levels on one or
two frequency ranges. The supply voltage of 14/18 V (18 V =
horizontal level, 14 V = vertical level) switches between polarities. In
some LNBs the 22 kHz modulation toggles between the frequency
ranges (off = 11 GHz, on = DBS range and 12.5 GHz range).
