Starting Up the Set-Top Box
Exiting the Installation Wizard
You can view a short demo film on operating the set-top box (depends on variant) on
conclusion of the initial installation.
If no demo film is offered in the
Exit Wizard
menu or if you want to view the demo film
at a later time, your set-top box first performs an automatic channel search and then
switches to the current television programme (live TV).
Initial Operation
The initial startup of your set-top box is concluded with the completion of the installa-
tion wizard.
Please refer to the information on the quick reference card that you received with your
set-top box before you use the device for the first time. Guides and also (depending on
the variant) demo films for operating your set-top box can be viewed directly on the tel-
evision, see "Information on the Television Screen" on page 10.
Common Interface (Optional)
Some channels, so-called Pay-TV channels, transmit their programmes partly or exclu-
sively in encrypted form, i.e. the picture and/or sound for such a channel cannot be
transmitted unless decrypted.
You need a CA module (Common Access Module) to decrypt such programmes as well
as a special chip card (e.g. smart card). You can get these by taking out an appropriate
subscription.
Your set-top box is equipped with a CI slot
Common Interface (CI)
in which you insert
the CA module suitable for your subscribed smart card. Insert the smart card into this
CA module in order to decrypt your subscribed channels.
Information on subscribing to Pay-TV channels as well as on the respective CA modules
and smart cards required is provided for example by specialist retail stores for radio and
television technology or can also be found directly on the Internet pages of the respec-
tive channel.
