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.
