Functions and Installation Functions and Installation
1. Connecting the set-top box to a TV-Set (HDMI)
The HDMI (abbreviation for High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a next generation port, which allows the transmission of digital audio and video signals over a
single cable without any compression. The name “Multimedia interface” is actually
the better designation, since this combination allows the transmission of several
digital audio channels (5.1-channel sound). When connecting via HDMI you do not
have to connect an audio cable. Audio cables are only necessary when you connect via HDMI/DVI.
2. Connecting the receiver to a TV-Set (analog)
Connect the receiver with the SCART cable to your TV, if your TV has a SCART
connector. Alternatively, you can use the AV connector, the TV output (UHF) or the
component video.
The HD receiver is designed for the playback of digital programs. Therefore, a connection via an HDMI cable is recommended. In case of an analog SCART connection, a deterioration of the picture may occur during the playback.
This also applies for the connection of additional equipment through the SCART
interface.
3. Connecting the receiver to a digital audio system
If you have a DA-converter with an S/PDIF coax input, you can connect the
receiver in order to enjoy a higher quality of sound.
Connect the S/PDIF coaxial cable, for example, to a digital surround amplifier.
4. Loop Through
If you have another analogue or digital set-top box and want to use the same
cable line, you can connect another device to loop through. Connect one end
of the coaxial cable to the loop-out port on the first set-top box and the other
end to the CATV ANT-IN jack (cable TV input) on the second set-top box.

a. First installation
Connect the device to the antenna cable and to electricity.
About two minutes later, the picture of initial installation will appear:
About 3-4 minutes after this picture is displayed, the receiver switches to the startup mode.
Important Note
Both indications can be interrupted by screen indications, signifying
that there is no TV signal (“No Signal”). During the transitions between
the initialization phases, the device interrupts the signal transmission.
Please do not react here.
After a few minutes, an indication of the device is displayed once more
on the screen.
You will be asked to select your language for the user interface.

The receiver inquires about the resolution of your TV. For the technical performance parameters, please refer to the manual of your TV set. Generally one
can say that, for CRT monitors a resolution of 576p is necessary. For flat panel
monitors, it should be distinguished between HD ready monitors with a resolution of 720p and full HD monitors with a resolution of 1080i.
If you have used a SCART connector for your Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)
screen, the device will automatically determine the device resolution. In case
of an HDMI connector for your flat screen monitor, the device needs the information concerning the resolution, in which e.g. the user interface, should be
displayed for flat screen monitors.
You can choose between 720p,
1080i and
576p
through the <Left> and <Right> keys. Press the <OK> key to confirm the
selection. Finally, please confirm your input through the <OK> button in the
window that opens.
Normal HD flat screen monitors often support only a resolution of up to 720p, while
Full HD flat screen monitors have a resolution of 1080i.
After selecting the default resolution, you must confirm with <OK> the information
within 30 seconds, otherwise the default resolution chosen will be 720p.
Subsequently, the automatic channel search will be initiated from the device.
Note
During this phase, attention should be paid, so that neither the
SmartCard nor the already connected antenna cable is removed.

b. Automatic Search
During initialization, the receiver performs a full automatic program search and - as
the case may be - if the user chooses so via the user setup sub menu, adds a new
program in the programs list.
This process requires about 20 minutes.
Once a new broadcast station is found, the signal quality and the signal strength
are given. The signal quality and the signal strength are always fluctuant and vary
depending on the station that has just been found. If neither the signal quality nor
the signal strength are displayed, and no values are given in the network ID and the
transport stream ID, please check the cable and, if necessary, restart the unit.
The indication of the number of TV and radio stations found, appears continuously
during the channel scan.
Note
In the event that, after a few minutes, the device still indicates that
no TV or radio programs were found, it is necessary to verify that the
antenna cable and the SmartCard are plugged-in correctly.
The search is successfully completed, if the main menu is displayed on the screen
and a live TV picture is displayed in the window.

The first main menu home page displayed, shows on the upper left side the functional surfaces that you can select through the <Up> and <Down> arrow keys and
the <OK> key. The live television picture is shown on the upper right side and an
information banner appears beneath it. At a later point in time, this is where you can
select the interactive applications.
Important Note on Software Update: If you have already downloaded an updated
software, you will arrive directly and without an additional software download, to
the above-mentioned main menu. Nevertheless, it is possible that new software
updates are necessary. The device then uses the inactive stand-by-phases to perform a download.
Important Note on Activations: The activation signals of the individual programs
are delivered through the program signals. It should be noted that the public channels and the encrypted private programs are immediately activated and visible.
The activations of the pay-TV services require a little longer. If the initializations
have already been carried out, the activations of the pay-TV services will arrive within 5-10 minutes and make the program visible. However, delays of up to 24 hours
may occur.
To ensure the first activation, please switch to an encrypted channel, such as LTV,
but not on a public program.
The device automatically checks whether the corresponding software version is
up-to-date, and automatically loads the latest update, if this is necessary. This
process is repeatedly interrupted by “No Signal” indications. Once again, please
do not react.
Between the different download phases, the broadcasting signal is briefly interrupted for a period of up to 4 minutes.
The software download may take 5-10 minutes. Thereafter, the device is automatically re-initialized before the main menu is displayed.

We recommend not to switch off the HD receiver overnight, but to set it to a standby mode by pressing the <Power> key on the front panel or through the <Power>
key on the remote control. Thus, the receiver continues to receive regularly the
new information accompanying the channel (EPG data) and at the same time, the
starting process will be performed much faster than after a complete switch off of
the set-top box through the main power switch on the rear panel.
After resetting the receiver, a black screen appears for a few seconds and then the
main menu. The main menu home page is displayed only when the receiver is powered up after the “Reboot” or the “Stand-by”.
This function is expected to become available in February 2010.
To explain the many different logos and information displays within the user interface, you can press the Help button on the remote control, to “call up” a simple
portal. This portal will explain the logos on the screens and the remote control.
