Important notes on the operati on
The use of a so-called "On Screen Display" (Display inserts) simplifies the digital receiver operation
and reduces the number of remote control keys. All functions are displayed on the screen and can be
controlled with only few keys. Related functions are summarized as "MENU". The selected function is
highlighted in colour. The "function keys" are represented by red, yellow, green and blue colored bars in
the bottom line. These color bars represent different functions in the individual menus, which can be
initiated by pressing the accordingly coloured key ("Multi-function key") on the remote control. The
Function keys" are only
activated, if an abbreviated name is indicated in the corresponding field.
Key designations and terms, which appear in the OSD menu, are printed bold in this operating manual.
Hel p:
If available, a help text can be displayed or exited in the menus by pressing the bl ue function key.
Di sposal notes
The packing of your equipment is completely made up of recyclable materials. Please dispose of
these sorted accordingly by means of the Dual System. This product may not be disposed via
normal household waste at the end of its service life, but must be delivered to a collection point for the
recycling of electrical and electronic devices. This is indicated out by the symbol on the product, the
instruction manual or the packing. The materials are recyclable according to their designation.
You help to protect the environment, if you enable recycling, reuse of material or other types of
utilisation of end-of-life equipment. Please ask your municipal administration, where the next waste
disposal is located.
Ensure that the drained batteries of the remote control are not put into the household waste, but are
properly disposed (given to the specialised trade, hazardous waste).
Safety notes
For your own protection, please read the safety precautions carefully, before putting your new device
in operation. The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damages caused by inappropriate
handling and by noncompliance with the safety precautions.
>In order to ensure sufficient ventilation, put the device on a flat, level underground and do not place
any items on the cover of the device. The louvers are located there to enable the interior heat to
disseminate.
>Never place burning items, e.g. burning candles, on the device.
8

>Never expose the device to dripping or splash-water and do not place any items filled with liquid, e.g.
vases, on it.
>Only operate the device in a moderate climate.
>Never open the device! There is the danger of an electric shock. A possibly necessary intervention
may only be accomplished by training personnel.
Di sconnect the devi ce f rom t he mai ns i n t he fol l owi ng cases and request hel p f rom an expert:

Operati onal i nterrupti ons
The device should be disconnected from the mains during a thunderstorm or during longer operational
interruptions (e.g. vacation).

4 Connections
The following references a b c etc., refer to the drawing.
4.1 Connect ing to the cabl e network
a Connect the c abl e i nput of the receiver by means of a suitable coaxial cable to the cable
connection outlet.
4.2 Connect ing to a TV set
b Connect the receiver (SCART soc k et TV) and TV set (SCART socket) with a SCART cable.
Your television set, if appropriately equipped, will automatically switch to AV and therefore to receiver
operation when the digital receiver is turned on.
d Connect the receiver (Cabl e out put ) by means of a suitable TV connection cable to the aerial input
of the TV set. To be able to watch digital cable programs on your TV set, switch to the external Scart
input (AV). The analogue cable programs continue to be set on the channel memories of your TV set
4.3 Videocassette recorder (VCR)
c Connect the videocassette recorder to the SCART socket VCR. The videocassette recorder
provides a switching signal to the digital receiver during playback. This enables the videocassette
recorder signal to be supplied automatically to the TV set. If your videocassette recorder does not
supply a switching voltage, switch your digital receiver by means of the EXTERN key to the external
input AV. Return to normal operation by pressing this key again.
