1 Introduction

• Thank you for deciding to purchase our product. In order to take advantage of all

its possible uses, we recommend that you carefully read these operating instructions

and that you keep them close at hand for quick access.

• Do not touch any parts inside the device and do not change any settings which are

not described in these operating instructions.

• We assume that you familiar with the operation of electronic devices. However,

please take the time to carefully read these operating instructions in order to be-

come familiar with the wide range of options provided.

• Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rub-

bish. In accordance with EU directive 2002/96/EC which addresses

old electronic and electrical devices, such devices must be disposed

of at a designated collection facility. At the end of its service life,

please take your satellite receiver to one of these public collection

facilities for proper disposal.

2 General information

2.1 Packing contents

– DRS 550 HDMI

– Remote control and 2 batteries (2 x 1.5 V, e.g. UM-3 or AA type batteries)

– HDMI cable

– Operating Instructions

Updates for the operating instructions can be found on the website of

GSS Grundig SAT Systems GmbH: ”http://www.gss.tv”.

2.2 Accessories for satellite receivers

You can find out more about the extensive GSS range of accessories for satellite receiv-

ers at your specialist dealer or at the website of

GSS Grundig SAT Systems GmbH: ”http://www.gss.tv.”

2.3 Receiving digital satellite channels

To use this satellite receiver you require a satellite system that must be prepared for

receiving digital signals. Unlike analogue satellite broadcasting, digital TV or radio

stations are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, several TV and/or radio

stations are transmitted by a single transponder using the same frequency.

- 6 -

To help you with the choice and settings for satellite channels, a selection of TV and

radio stations have been preprogrammed for this device. New channels, which are

not yet featured in the channel list on your satellite receiver, can be found using the

channel search.

2.4 Special facilities of your satellite receiver

This satellite receiver allows you to receive both free-to-air as well as encrypted digital

satellite channels from various encryption systems using the Common Interface slots

(see page 56), and to record them using a storage device (e.g. hard disc, USB stick)

connected to the USB port.

To ensure that your satellite receiver always uses the latest software, we recommend

that you update the operating software from time to time (see page 40).

This satellite receiver has a comprehensive, user-friendly menu system. It is displayed

on the television screen and the functions of the remote control buttons are explained.

The technology used allows the simultaneous recording of a SAT program and play-

back of a recorded program when an external storage device is connected. This pro-

cedure is used for the so-called “time shift” (time-delayed television).

2.5 Features of your satellite receiver

• 10-character, alphanumeric display

• Common Interface slot

Your satellite receiver is equipped with a Common Interface slot. It allows you to

connect two CA modules for various encryption systems and service providers.

Encrypted channels can only be decoded with a CA module suitable for the en-

cryption system and the corresponding Smart card. The Smart card contains all the

information for authorisation, decoding and subscription.

The CA module and the corresponding Smart card can be obtained from the de-

sired service provider.

• 4,000 radio and television stations can be stored.

• Blind and fast scan

• You can save your preferred channels in individual lists of favourites.

• DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 and Unicable mode

DiSEqC means “Digital Satellite Equipment Control”. This is a circuit system which

controls the polarisation and the frequency bands. The Unicable mode is used to

control the satellite receiver in reception systems with Unicable-LNBs or Unicable

multi-switches.

• The electronic program guide EPG informs you about the complete range of chan-

nels from the various broadcasters. Detailed information on individual television

programs is available at the touch of a button.

• Using the HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface), high definition

picture signals and sound signals are provided digitally.

• Using the USB port an external storage device (e.g. hard disc, USB stick) can be

connected.

• SCART sockets for connecting TV and recorder

• SAT input with loop-through output

• Analogue audio outlet via Cinch sockets

- 7 -

ENGLISH

• Analogue video outlet via Cinch sockets

• Optical digital audio output

2.6 Environmental note

If you do not intend to use the satellite receiver for some time (e.g. at night), we recom-

mend that you use the

 button to switch to stand-by.

To disconnect the satellite receiver from the mains supply, we recommend switching

this off using the mains switch at the back of the device.

3 Important note on safety and set up

• Only operate the device at the voltage indicated on the back of the device.

• Never open the device under any circumstances. Only specialist qualified specialist

staff may work on the inside of the device.

• Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched

off, it can be damaged by lightning striking into the mains or the antenna cable.

Therefore, always disconnect the satellite receiver from the mains and from the an-

tenna unit during a thunderstorm.

• This satellite receiver set is designed to receive and display video and audio sig-

nals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

• When setting up the device, make sure the mains plug is easily accessible.

• If the digital receiver is subject to sudden changes in temperature, e.g. when brought

in from the cold to a warm room, let it stand for at least two hours before you con-

nect it to the mains supply.

• Never expose the satellite receiver to moisture, as operation is only intended in dry

rooms. Should you however operate it outdoors, protect it from any moisture (rain,

splashing water etc.).

• Make sure that the satellite receiver is ventilated adequately.

• Do not operate the device close to heating units or in direct sunlight.

• Place the satellite receiver on a hard, level surface.

• When operating on a shelf, observe the minimum interval of approx. 10 cm on both

the sides and the top!

• Do not place any vessels containing liquids on the satellite receiver.

• Damages caused by tampering or improper handling are excluded from the war-

ranty.
