INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Digital Satellite Receiver (STB).
This Digital Satellite Receiver is fully compliant with the international DVB
standard and thus transmits digital images, sounds, information guides and teletext
directly to your TV through the satellite. Now you can comfortably see and receive
digitally transmitted music, news, movie and sports satellite broadcasts in your office
or at your home.
In the Channel Search section, both the automatic channel search method and the
manual Search mode are provided. Also it supports DiSEqC 1.2, enabling you to move your
antenna in order to focus your preferred satellite. You can save up to 3500 TV and 1500
Radio channels and work around with the Favorite, Lock, Delete, Move and Sort
functions. The Menu is very modern and supports different languages.
All functions can be carried out using the remote control and some of the functions can
also be carried out using the front panel.
The STB is easy to use and adaptable for future advances. Please be aware that new
software may change the functions of the STB.
If you have any difficulties concerning the operation of your STB, please refer to the
relevant section of this manual, including the ‘Troubleshooting’. This Manual will
provide you with useful information on using the STB.
