Operating Hints
This chapter contains excerpts from the operating instructions. For further particulars please refer to the appropriate user instructions the part number of which is indicated in the relevant
spare parts list.
❒
Video recorder
If your video recorder is provided with a EURO-AV
socket (”Euroconnector”), you get the best picture
quality if you connect this socket via a EURO-AV
cable (available from your dealer) to the VCR socket
of your receiver.
w
!
No on-screen displays are output via the VCR
socket of the receiver. That is why video recordings
cannot be affected by calling up menus.
When playing back video recordings, the signals
from the video recorder (VCR socket) are looped
through the satellite receiver (also in stand-by) to
the TV set (TV socket).
❒
Decoder
If you use a decoder which is provided with a
EURO-AV socket (”Euroconnector”), you get the
best picture quality if you connect this socket via a
EURO-AV cable (available from your dealer) to the
DEC socket of your receiver.
After connecting the decoder, please check the
decoder mode selected in the "System setup" menu
("
/ 1 ") and the decoder setting of
every programme position concerned
(
" /
V –
A
").

Check to see whether the preset LNC oscillator
frequency (see pages 10 and 11) corresponds to
the LNC used.
Connection via a EURO-AV cable
❒

Second video recorder or decoder
If you wish to connect a second video recorder
instead of the decoder, use the DEC socket for this.
You can connect a second decoder instead of the
video recorder to the VCR socket, provided the
decoder is suited for the “normal“ decoder mode.
The decoder mode selection (see page 11) is only
possible for the DEC socket.
Terrestrial reception
If you wish to receive also terresrtrial programmes,
connect the terrestrial aerial cable to the AERIAL
socket on the rear of the receiver. The signal for the
video recorder and the TV set is available at the
TV/VCR modulator output of the receiver.
Connection via the
modulator output
If your TV set or video recorder is not provided with
a EURO-AV socket, these sets are supplied via the
TV/VCR socket with the SAT signals. In this case, it
will be necessary to adjust the sets to each other. At
the factory, the modulator of the satellite receiver
has been preset to channel 37.
The following section describes how the TV set and
video recorder are tuned to the receiver.
Tuning the TV set and video
recorder to the receiver
This adjustment can be omitted if you have con-
nected the receiver via a EURO-AV connecting lead
to the television receiver or video recorder.
Press the
.
key and then the
1
key on
the remote control unit of the receiver. The receiver
then will send an on-screen display on channel 37.
Select a free channel position on your TV set and
tune to UHF channel 37 (the receiver's output chan-
nel). For this, refer to the instruction book of your TV
set. You will see the following on-screen display.
If this channel is already being used by a TV chan-
nel or a different unit (say, your video recorder),
you will see interference if the other equipment is
operating. 3

the receiver by means of a small screwdriver until
you see a picture.
Optimize the picture quality by finetuning your TV
set.
Tune in the same way a free programme position of
the video recorder to the receiver's ouptut channel.
How to connect your hifi system
Best sound quality is obtained when connecting the
receiver to hifi equipment.
Connect the AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right)
sockets on the back of your receiver via a phono
(Cinch) cable (available from your dealer) to the hifi
amplifier. 1

Additional Information for Units sold in
Great Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC,
50 Hz mains supply.
In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard
Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains
plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electrician. The fuse and
fuse holder must be removed from the plug as accidental
insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to
cause an electrical hazard.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug,
the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved
BS 1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If
the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must not be
used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers
should be obtained from your dealer.
If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug
is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved
BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected
by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance
may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with
the letter "N" or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked
with a letter "L" or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the
terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol
, coloured
green or green and yellow.
Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.
