2.1. POWER SOURCE

The receiver should be operated only from a 230 V AC, 50 Hz outlet. Please do not open the cover by yourself. There

is high voltage in the set, which will danger your life. Please ask the closest service for help.

2.2. POWER CORD

The power supply cord should be placed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon

them or against them. Pay particular attention to cord where they enter the plug, power outlet, and the point where they

exit from the receiver.

2.3. LIQUIDS

Keep liquids away from the receiver. The receiver shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with

liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

2.4. SMALL OBJECTS

Coins or other small objects must be kept away from the receiver as they can fall through the ventilation slots of the receiver

and cause serious damage.

2.5. CLEANING

Disconnect the receiver from the wall socket before cleaning it. Use a dry cloth lightly dampened (no solvents) to clean

the exterior of the receiver.

2.6. VENTILATION

Minimum distance of 10cm, from both sides and a distance of 15cm, to upwards around the apparatus should be kept

for sufficient ventilation. Take care for a good air circulation. The ventilation slots should not be impeded by covering the

ventilation openings with items such as newspaper, tablecloths, soft furnishings, curtains, carpets, etc.

2.7. CAUTION

 Please do not place the set and remote control under direct sun light.

 The set should be placed on a solid and safe base.

 The location should not be selected as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen for example,

may cause malfunction or damage the set.

 Heating or other thermal radiations under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.

 The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do not put the

set into closed areas and do not cover it.

 Please avoid the contact of the set and remote control with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath,

swimming pools.

 Connect the power supply of the receiver only after the installation is ready.

 The parabolic antenna has to be grounded correctly. For this you have to follow the appropriate VDE

regulations.

 Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heating

up of the receiver.

 No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed on the apparatus.

 Never stack other electronic equipment on top of the receiver.

 Remove batteries from remote control when it is not to be used for a long period. Otherwise it can be damaged due to

any leakage of batteries.

3.PREPARING

3.1. SATELLITE ANTENNA

To have an excellent function of your digital set-top box, it is necessary to install the antenna correctly. Please avoid under

all conditions to have a short circuit at the antenna cable conductors (LNB receivers). Your digital set-top box is equipped

with a LNB short-circuit protection.

3.2. REMOTE CONTROL

First open the battery cover on the underside of the remote control. Put on both batteries 1.5Volt (R03/AAA) referring

to the imprinted symbols (+/-) in the battery case and put on the battery cover again.

While using the remote control, direct it towards the front side of the receiver. If the remote control do not work or the

chosen function could not be made, the batteries are most probably exhausted and they should be replaced as soon

as possible. Please use only the leak proof batteries. It is the best to take out the batteries from remote unit in case

you wouldnt use the remote control unit for long time.

3.3. CONNECTIONS

3.3.1. CONNECTION TO THE TV

Connection over scart connector: Connect your set-top box with a scart cable using the TV scart connector on the rear

panel to your televisions scart connector (the one with RGB input, this is usually the first scart). If you use a scart

connector which does not have RGB input, you will not achieve the high performance of your digital set-top box since

your TV will use composite video signal instead of the RGB signals.

See Diagram 1 (Page 35)

3.3.2. CONNECTION TO SATTELLITE ANTENNA

Carefully plug in the connectors of the satellite antenna cables to the terminal of your set-top box labeled as LNB.

See Diagram 1 (Page 35)

3.3.3. VCR SCART CONNECTION

1) Connect one end of Scart cable to TV Scart connector on the STB and the other end of to a Scart connector on your

2) Connect one end of Scart cable to VCR Scart connector on the STB and the other end of to a Scart connector on your

VCR

 When the receiver is in standby mode:

When connected device (i.e., DVD, VCD) is switched on, the device will be automatically routed to TV.

 When the receiver is on:

When connected device (i.e., DVD, VCD) is switched on, the device will be automatically routed to TV. Otherwise the

receiver will remain routed to TV. By pressing 0 button on the remote control receiver is routed back to TV manually.

Some devices which is connected to receiver do not support this feature. In this case routing process is done manually;
