Conditional Access / Reception of Pay-TV
The receiver has the possibility to receive Pay-TV programmes in
3 different standards. The Viaccess standard is embedded, so if
you want to receive programs in this standard, you just insert the
smart card in the card reader.
Additionally to this, there are two so-called Common Interface
slots. Here it is possible to insert different Conditional Access
Modules, for different standards (CONAX, Irdeto, Viaccess, Nagravision, Cryptoworks, etc.) Your program provider or your retailer can assist you in finding the suitable CAM.
The smart card giving you access to the programs is then inserted in the card reader of the appropriate CAM.

Connection
The following indications a b c etc. refer to the drawing on page 5
Mains connection
The receiver must not be connected to the mains until the receiver has been completely connected to the corresponding components. This ensures that you do not damage the receiver or other
components.
Outdoor Unit
Connection of one receiver
a. Connect the LNB-input of the receiver by means of a suita-
ble coaxial cable to your ODU-LNB. Please also note chapter 5 “Installation”.
Connection of an extra receiver to a single reception system
b If an extra receiver is to be connected to a single reception
system (e.g. analog receiver or ADR-receiver), you can connect the LNB-input of the extra receiver to the LNB-output
of the DVB-receiver by means of a suitable coaxial cable.
To provide the extra receiver with satellite signals,
your DVB-receiver must be in the “Stand By” mode.
If the DVB-receiver is switched on, this will take
over the LNB-control with priority.

SET-UP AND CONNECTIONS
Connection to a TV set
By means of a SCART cable:
To have the best possible picture quality you should connect receiver and tv by means of a SCART cable.
Procedure:
g Connect receiver (SCART-socket tv) and tv (SCART-socket)
by means of a SCART-cable. If your tv is equipped accordingly, this will automatically shift to AV and thus to satellite
reception when switching on the receiver.
By means of a HF cable:
If your tv is not provided with a SCART-socket, the receiver must
be connected to the aerial input of the tv. When using this type of
connection, the sound can only be reproduced in mono.
To connect HF cable, proceed as follows:
h Connect the receiver (HF-output) with a suitable tv-connec-
tion cable to the aerial input of the tv. The cable coming
from the terrestrial aerial is connected to the Input terres-
trial aerial of the receiver.
c Having made all connections, you connect the receiver by
means of the power supply cable delivered with the receiver
to a 230V/50 Hz wall outlet. Now switch on the receiver by
pressing the “standby” or “Numeric” buttons.
Now tune in your tv to the transmitter channel of the receiver. Select a free program place on the tv and set it to channel 38 (see the user manual of the tv, if necessary).
If you don't get a clear picture on channel 38, this or an
adjacent channel could already be occupied by a program
which you receive by means of the aerial. You can check
this by disconnecting for a very short time the aerial cable
from the connector Input terrestrial aerial of the receiver. If
you thus for a short time get a clear picture, you should set
another transmitter channel in the range 21 to 61 for the receiver.

receiver, and the receiver now transmits on the channel
shown.
If interference-free reception is still not possible on this
channel, you must repeat the procdure until a suitable channel is found.
When an optimum UHF-channel has been found, be sure to
store this on your tv.
In the menu Audio/Video further settings may now be
made, or you may return to normal mode by means of the
MENU-button. This setting is automatically stored when
you exit from the menu.
If your tv has automatic frequency search, you set your receiver to an arbitrary UHF-channel and start the automatic
frequency search of the tv. Repeat the procedure until you
find a suitable output channel and store this on your tv.
It might now be necessary to fine-tune the channel on the
tv-set.

f Connect the VCR to the SCART-socket VCR. On reproduc-
tion, the VCR delivers a switching signal to the receiver. This
automatically causes the VCR signal to be transmitted to
the tv.
Super VHS - VCR
If you have a Super VHS-VCR, you can record in SuperVHS-quality from your DVB-receiver.
NB: This setting is effective for the SCART-sockets TV and VCR
on your receiver.
AUX IN/OUT
e Auxiliary connector for the connection of an analog receiver,
an extra tv or VCR (AV2).
Amplifier
Analog
To obtain the best possible sound quality you can connect the receiver to a HiFi-amplifier. To do so you must connect the Cinchsockets Audio R and Audio L on the receiver by means of a suitable cable to an input on your HiFi-amplifier (e.g. CD or AUX; NB:
The phono input is not suitable!).
Digital
If your amplifier has a corresponding electric input, you connect the

SET-UP AND CONNECTIONS
Serial port RS 232
The RS 232-port is used to update the software and preprogramming via PC.
USB
The Universal Serial Bus connector is intended for high-speed
data transfer, for example between the receiver and a PC. In case
the satellite receiver is used in connection with “Internet-via-satellite”, this connection is used as data transfer to the PC.
Modem
Your TRIAX DVB 65S has a build-in telephone modem. The modem is designed for connection to the analogue public switched
telephone network (PSTN).
The Modem control is part of the application control of your satellite receiver. The user has no direct access to the modem.
The modem will be used from the application automatically, as
result of user actions via remote control in dialog with the OnScreen-Display, e.g. for ordering of Pay-Per-View services,
Home-Shopping or other software controlled applications.
The modem will never start a call if the telephone line is in use.
(Off hook detection).
The modem interrupts a connection immediately, after detecting
a second telephone device becomes active at the same line,
when connected.

Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2
For the transmission of the present tvstandard (625 lines and 50 Hz image
replication frequency) there is a digital
data quantity of 216 Mbit/s. This would
require band widths which are not available, neither terrestrially nor for satellites. Therefore a reduction of the data
quantity is made through data reduction. In Europe MPEG-2 has been determined as a universal standard of
data compression. MPEG2 is an extension of MPEG1.
Frequency:
Physical quantity, states number of oscillations per second, measured in
Hertz (Hz).
Frequency range:
a) Satellite and LNB, respectively:
11 GHz range from 10,70 GHz to 11,70
GHz
12 GHz range from 11,70 to 12,75 GHz
b) Receiver: IF or 1.MF 950 to 2150
MHz
Frequency unit / Description / Oscillations per second
1 Hz 1 Hertz 1
1 kHz 1 Kilohertz 1.000 Hz
1 MHz 1 Megahertz 1.000.000 Hz
1 GHz 1 Gigahertz 1.000.000.000 Hz
Intermediate Frequency (IF):
The frequency range radiated from the
satellite cannot be transmitted through
a cable and is therefore converted by
the LNB in the IF range from 950 to
2150 MHz. In this way transmission and
processing in the receiver is made possible.
1. IF = Intermediate frequency.
Deemphasis:
Adaptation of the audio frequencies to
the transmitter signal, determined by
the transmission parameters of the satellite.
DiSEqC
Digital Satellite Equipment Control: A
digitalt control signal for the control of
the DiSEqC-compatible components of
the ODU via the coaxial cable.
DVB
