INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Personal Video Recorder (PVR).
This PVR 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. The PVR records and playback satellite
broadcasts. You can enjoy interesting games embedded in PVR.

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 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 PVR is easy to use and adaptable for future advances. Please be aware that new
software may change the functions of the PVR.
If you have any difficulties concerning the operation of your PVR, please refer to the
relevant section of this manual, including the ‘Troubleshooting’. This Manual will provide you
