receiver installation (e.g. an analogue receiver or an
ADR receiver), you can connect the LNC input of the
additional receiver with the LNC output of the DVB
receiver by means of a suitable co-axial cable. In
order for the satellite signal to be provided to the
additional receiver, your DVB receiver must be
operated in Standby mode. If your DVB receiver is
switched on, it will take over priority in controlling the
LNC.
4.3 Connection to a television set
When you have connected your digital receiver with
the television set as described in this chapter, it may be
necessary to adjust the digital receiver to the television standard of your television set.
To do this, please note Point 6.3.5 (Video system).
4.3.1 Via SCART cable
To ensure the best possible picture quality, use a SCART
cable to connect the digital receiver with the television set.

You must now set your television set to the transmission (output) channel of the digital receiver. Select a free programme
slot on your television set, and tune it to Channel 38 (if
necessary, consult the operating manual of your television
set).
If you do not receive a clear picture on Channel 38, either
this channel or a neighbouring channel may already be tuned
to a programme being received via the antenna. You can
check on this by temporarily removing the antenna cable
from the Input terrestrial antenna socket of the digital
receiver. If you then temporarily receive a clear picture, you
should select a different channel on the digital receiver, in the
range 21 to 69.
Setting the UHF output channel
