1 Introduction
These instructions describe the functions of your digital CI satellite
system, including the options "HD" (video recorder function, see page
25) and "DVB-T" (abbreviated "+T" in the following, see page 28).
Optional functions are identified accordingly.
Your ten Haaft digital satellite-reception system is an intelligent and
fully automatic system that does not require any of the manual
adjustments associated with conventional systems.
Unlike normal television antennas for terrestrial reception, a satellite
antenna must be precisely aimed southward into the satellite's signal
beam. This signal beam must not be interrupted by trees or other
obstacles, as this will prevent reception.
Please ensure that the system always has a clear view to the south
towards the satellite. If the signal is blocked — for example by a tree
— it is quite possible that a good satellite signal may be received
without any problems in a position just a few meters away. In
Scandinavia, even mountains in the far distance can interrupt the
satellite signal.
Oyster
®
Digital only
To allow reception even under such adverse conditions, the antenna
unit of the Oyster
®
Digital system can be removed from the vehicle top
and be set up near the vehicle in a position where a signal can be
received. This requires a special pedestal and an extension cable which
are available as an optional "ground assembly kit".
Satellite systems installed on buildings must usually only be adjusted
once. By contrast, a mobile system will need to be readjusted even if it
is moved only a few centimetres. Owners of a ten Haaft satellite
system can perform this adjustment at the push of a button.
5
Our digital CI satellite systems stand for exceptional operating
convenience and a multitude of channels. At the touch of a button, the
system opens and searches for receivable satellites. The microprocessor controlled fine-tuning and the digital receiver technology
ensure the best possible picture quality, providing you with immediate
access via your remote control to the full range of TV and radio
programs broadcast by the new digital satellites. You can even adjust
the volume of your television set with the satellite system's remote
control. This eliminates the inconvenient handling of two remote
controls.
To further enhance the operating convenience, a new function has
been implemented in your satellite system to allow the system to be
switched off with the antenna remaining open. This eliminates the
daily opening and retracting of the antenna when staying in one
location for
several days without having to dispense with the extremely
efficient power-saving stand-by mode.
The first few pages of these instructions explain the general functions
of the receiver and are followed by an explanation of all the functions
specific to the satellite system and the search functions.
Your digital CI satellite system can receive unencrypted "Free-To-Air"
(FTA) programs, but also encrypted (encoded) programs. The integrated
"Common Interface" (CI) accepts decoder modules for the various
different encryption methods. It can hence receive encrypted (pay-TV)
channels, provided that you have procured the corresponding decoder
module and valid "conditional access" smart card. For further
information please refer to section "Common Interface" on page 21.

6.4 Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
DVB-compliant stations broadcast additional information about their
programs, such as titles or details about current or upcoming programs.
Some stations may even broadcast a program schedule for up to 64
days in advance. This service is currently e.g. provided by almost all
German stations transmitting on Astra 1, usually with a preview period
of approx. 5 days. The receiver automatically detects EPG data and
provides the information available.
Please ensure that the correct local time is set in Main Menu Æ Edit
Settings Æ Timezone (+1:00 for Central Europe, +0:00 for Great
Britain), as otherwise wrong starting and end times of the programs
will be displayed.
Status bar
Once you have selected a channel, the status bar will display the title
and a brief description (if available) of the current program. For further
information please start the EPG.

6.5 Subchannels (encrypted/audio)
When watching a multilingual program, press MENU to open a context
menu and to select an audio channel with a different language.
The first menu item is "Audio channel". Press OK to select this option
and then select an audio channel from the list. Alternatively, you can
activate the same function by pressing the blue key. Select the desired
subchannel (channel for original language) from the list.
If the audio channels provide language identifiers, these will also be
displayed.
Options channels
The German pay-TV channel "Premiere" for example transmits its
optional TV channels (Sport and Premiere Direkt) in a process similar to
the audio channels described above. To do this, Premiere provides socalled portal channels which form the basis from which the subchannels can be selected.
To switch to these channels, first select the corresponding portal
channel and then open the selection list via Menu Æ Audio channel Æ
OK. From the selection list, select an optional channel and accept it by
pressing OK. Alternatively, you can reach the selection list directly by
pressing the blue key on the remote control.
Radio stations
Some providers are transmiting several free-to-air radio programs on
separate audio channels of a TV channel. This does not comply with the
usual DVB-S procedure, but however, these channels can also be
selected using the process described above. The station names are also
displayed in the audio channels list.
However, radio stations should rather be stored in a separate radiostations list (RADIO key).
20
6.6 Teletext / videotext

7 Common Interface (CI)
At the front of the device there are two slots for modules to decode
encrypted programs.
To prevent damage only modules with the "PC Card" logo must be
inserted. Any other modules may damage the receiver beyond repair.
Do not use excessive force to insert the modules. Rather pull the
module back out of the slot and try inserting it again. Ensure that you
insert the module with the correct side up and correctly inserted into
the slot.
Smartcards are sometimes printed in a confusing way as they are often
designed to be used with other decoders. Most common-interface
modules allow cards with the golden contacts facing upward. Before
inserting a smartcard into the common-interface module, make sure
that the usually gold-coloured contacts on the smartcard are clean and
free of dust.
If a decoder module has been correctly identified, its name is displayed
in the main menu under "Encryption". When you select the entry for
this module in the list and press OK, a menu will be displayed based on
the corresponding decoder module. Please contact the module
manufacturer in case of any questions concerning the module. Note:
Some modules only register completely and provide a menu system if a
valid smartcard is inserted.
The keys OK and EXIT are used to navigate within the manufacturerspecific menus. If a menu does not respond to the OK or EXIT
command, the dialog can be cancelled by pressing MENU. The receiver
then interrupts the connection to the module's menu system.
Please note: Not all encryption systems are available to commoninterface modules yet. Please check with your pay-TV provider, if a
matching module is available.
22
8 Timer
The timer can manage up to 12 recording sessions. Either a defined
recording date or individual days of the week can be selected.
To program sessions, select "Timer" from the main menu. The overview
shows all dates of the 12 entries. Use the OK key to edit individual
entries. To determine whether a fixed date or fixed weekdays are
programmed in the timer, press the LIST key when in the date line. If a
time before the starting time or identical to the starting time is set as
end time, the recording will continue into the following day.
The correct function of the timer requires the internal clock to be set
correctly. Check the time displayed in the status bar to verify.
To exit the timer settings, press EXIT at any time. If any setting has
been changed or added, press OK to confirm the storing of the changes.
Programming programs from the EPG
Programs from the EPG can be directly copied into a free timer position
by pressing LIST in the overview of the day or in the details window of
the EPG. The timer menu then appears so that the new entry can be
edited manually. Press EXIT twice to exit the settings dialog.
Timer recording — receivers without "HD" option
The timer is used to conveniently record programs on the hard disk (see
page 25) at preset times. The timer function is also available on devices
without optional hard disk. This function is particularly helpful if you
want to be sure not to miss a program on a certain channel. The
receiver will then switch over to the channel as programmed in the
timer.
23
Timer and Stand-by
The timer is only active when the system is switched on or has been set
to sleep mode with the antenna open (see page 7). The timer is inactive
in stand-by mode. The antenna does never open automatically and
without direct user control.
In sleep mode, the system checks whether there are timer programs
that have to be processed. In this case, the sat mouse will show four
vertical bars (||||), indicating that the system is in timer stand-by and is
hence being controlled by the timer which will reactivate the system at
the preset time. The power consumption in timer stand-by is higher
than in regular stand-by.
Sleep-timer
The sleep-timer automatically switches off the system at a preset time.
To activate the sleep-timer, select MENU Æ Main menu Æ Extras Æ
Sleep-Timer.
In the configuration settings of the satellite system (see page 49), you
can select whether the system shall retract completely when the sleep
timer is active or whether it shall switch into the sleep mode with the
antenna open.
The sleep-timer works completely independently of the regular timer.
Please note:
When your receiver is switched off by the sleep-timer, the TV set may
remain on and hence consume power. Some TV sets switch off
automatically if no video signal is received or are remote-controlled via
the SCART cable. The digital CI receiver provides the corresponding
control signals at its SCART port. Please refer to the operating manual
of your TV set to determine the options.
