and can be controlled with a few key strokes.

Related functions are grouped into a "MENU". The active function is marked by a blue "CUR­SOR" line. In the lower half of the screen a short comment to the marked function is inser­ted.

Terms used in the OSD menu, remote control keys and switches and sockets are printed
bold in this instruction manual.
For example:

> Call Main Menu with the MENU button.

> Choose the menu line Settings by marking the corresponding line red with the help of

the cursor keys up/down
> Confirm with OK.

Connecting the DVB receiver with

a satellite system

a. Connecting the LNB with the LNB input of the DVB receiver.

b. Connecting the LNB output of the DVB receiver with the LNB input of the ana-

logue receiver

c. Mains connection

d.. Connecting the terrestrial antenna with the antenna input ARIAL of the DVB

receiver

e. Connection of an analogue device with the Scart socket AUX IN/OUT of the

DVB receiver.

f. Connection of a VCR with the VCR Scart socket of the DVB receiver.

g. Connection of the TV set with the TV Scart socket of the DVB receiver.

Optional:

h. Connecting the HF output TV of the DVB receiver with the HF input socket of

your TV set.

4 Connection

The letters a b c ... found in the following paragraphs refer to the drawing on page 7.

4.1 Mains connection

The receiver should only be connected to the mains after the cabling with all components is
completed. This eliminates damage to the receiver or other components.
c After completion of all connections use the enclosed power cord to connect the mains

socket of the receiver to the mains power supply 230V/50 Hz.

4.2 Outdoor unit

4.2.1 Single reception

a Connect the LNB input of the receiver with the LNB of the outdoor unit using a suitable

coaxial cable. (See also 5.3 " Installation ".

4.2.2 Use of an additional receiver in a single reception system

b If another unit is to be used in a single reception system (for example an analogue or

ADR receiver) you can connect the LNB input of the additional receiver with the LNB

output of the DVB receiver with a suitable coaxial cable. In order for the additional recei-

ver to also be provided with the satellite signal your DVB receiver must be in the " stand-

by mode ". If the DVB receiver is switched on it takes the LNB signal with priority.

4.3 Connection to a TV set

4.3.1 Via SCART cable:

In order to achieve the best possible picture quality you should connect the receiver and the
TV set with a SCART cable.
Proceed as follows:
g Connect receiver (SCART socket TV) and TV set (SCART socket) with a SCART

cable. If equipped accordingly, your TV set will switch automatically to AV and to satellite

reception when the receiver is turned on.

4.3.2 Via HF cable:

If your TV set is not equipped with a SCART socket the receiver needs to be connected to
the antenna input of the television. With this connection only mono sound will be possible.
For connection proceed as follows:
h Connect the receiverÕs HF output TV with the antenna input of the TV set using a suita-

ble cable. Connect the cable coming from the terrestrial antenna with the terrestrial

antenna input ARIAL of the receiver (d).

Now your TV set needs to be adjusted to the transmitting channel of the receiver. Choose a
free channel position at the TV set and adjust it to channel 38 (see instruction manual of TV).
If no clear picture is received on channel 38 it might already be occupied by a channel recei­ved via antenna. You can determine this by removing the antenna cable from the socket
ARIAL (input terrestrial antenna) of the receiver. If you receive a clear picture now, you
should use a different transmitting channel in the range 21 to 61.

Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2

The quantity of digital data for the transmission of todayÕs TV standard (625 lines and 50 Hz
picture repetition frequency) amounts to 216 Mbit/sec. The bandwidth needed for this quanti­ty is neither available via terrestrial nor via satellite transmission. Therefore the data quantity
is reduced. In Europe the standard (world wide) for the data compression is MPEG2.
MPEG2 is a extension of MPEG1.

Deemphasis

The adaptation of the audio frequency curve to the transmitting signal is fixed by the trans­mitting parameters of the satellite.

DiSEqC
