Safety references 

Important ! 

Read the manual before you begin to work with the receiver. 

Caution: never open the device; else danger exists through 

electric stroke. 

When you work with the receiver, you have to move 

always the power plug (230V) from the mains voltage. 

Unplug the receiver from the mains in case of long periods 

without operating the receiver (for example, during holidays) 

To prevent shock hazard, do not touch the power plug with wet 

hands. 

Unplug always the receiver before cleaning the device or work 

on the connections. 

Do not install the receiver close to strong heat sources, and 

ensure a good aeration if you plan to install it in a small cabinet. 


1.1 

Safety references 

Important ! 

Before you start operating the receiver, make sure that the 

receiving antenna is properly built up, connected and aligned 

optimally. 

The correct place to install the receiver is, of course, near your 

TV set and any other A/V signal sources (DVD, VCR; CD; 

game console, etc). 

Choose an stable support, where you can easily lay the 

necessary connecting cables without stumbling-danger. The 

receiver should be installed near to an easily accessible outlet. 

Do not install the receiver in a place where it can be reached by 

liquid spills. 

Do not put any heavy objects as, for example, a TV-device over 

the receiver because the receiver could be damaged. 

Do not install the receiver: 

- On an unstable surface 

- Subject to direct sunlinght 

- In a high humidity environment 

- Outside the receiver’s temperature range (+5°...+40°) 

If the receiver is subjected to severe temperature changes, it 

can suffer from water condensation inside. Switch off the

4.1 

The following steps assume, that ... 

... the receiver is properly set up. 

Important: 

The installation 

Unplug the receiver if you wish to carry out connection tasks. 

Connection ... 

... for connecting your receiver to the antenna you need a long coaxial cable suitable for 

digital reception (for example, FTE K 290). If the F connectors are not mounted into the 

connecting cables yet, please proceed to mount the connector as follows: 

Please connect the F connector from antenna, to connection 1 of the back side of the 

receiver. Install the small connecting cable between the connectors 10 and 2 . 

Indoor antenna will be supported by IRD 420T/SM on connector 3. 

To use 5V , you need a DC injector. It will be placed between connector 1 and the F 

connector of the coaxial cable. 

Connecting television receiver and video tape recorder 

You will achieve an optimal transmission quality if you connect the television receiver and 

the video tape recorder with an Scart-cable using the corresponding socket of the 

receiver. 

a) Use a scart cable 

A single scart-cable is enough for the connection to the TV set. 

First steps 

b) About the antenna cable 

Here you can also combine the terrestrial receiver with your TV set or video tape recorder. 

However, the transmission quality is a little poorer. 


4.1 


c) RCA connectors 

The video and audio signals that you have with the scart-cable are available again 

through this connector. It will be interesting to connect an additional monitor or stereo set. 

You combine the 5 RCA-video connector with the corresponding input at your monitor 

and the 13 RCA-audio connector with the input at your Stereo set. 

Home Cinema System ... 

... like Dolby Digital 5.1 system can be connected at the connections 6 and 7 . 

Connection to the 230V mains 

The power cord is built into the receiver. Be careful when you work with the power cord 

and pay attention to the following guidelines: 

... never put objects over the power cord. 

... never use the power cord over sharp objects. 

... be sure that the power outlet is easily reachable, in order to be able to unplug the 

device in case of danger. 

Never pull at the power cord ! 

… if you plan to unplug the cord, pull directly the plug, not the cord. 

… be sure the power plug is securely and firmly connected. 

… do not use wobbly plug adapters to avoid fire risks.

Troubleshooting 

Self help 

In case of problems with the receiver, and before further search, check first that ... 

... the receiver’s set up has been carried out accordingly to the instructions of this 

manual and that the connections are accurate. 

... the satellite antenna conforms to the requirements of the installation, is well 

mounted and aligned. 

Without these two requisites, the following troubleshooting guide cannot lead to success. 

In the case that the problem persists, please refer to your authorized local dealer... He will 

help you with pleasure! 

The receiver’s leds do not light up, and there is a malfunction ... 

a) Is the power plug properly connected? 

Check that there is a good contact and that the plug is firmly seated in its socket. 

a) Is the main power switch on the receiver’s back in the position? 

b) Is the socket / house protection functional? 

Connect another device (for example, a radio) to the same socket and check it 

works. 

d) Is the power cord damaged? 

Pull the power plug off the socket under the greatest caution ! 

Only a specialist may repair this damage ! 

There is no picture, no audio, or bad quality 

a) Check that the combination between the receiver and the TV set and the antenna is 

correct. Check the connections to the TV set and to the antenna as well. 

b) Is the satellite antenna optimally aligned? 

The receiver shows, at the INFO menu, whether the signal level is weak or enough. 

Please, refer also to the installation guide of your satellite antenna. 

If problems persist, please, ask a specialist. 

c) How mucho strong is the DVB-T signal in your zone? 

It is possible that you need a bigger antenna. 

Ask to your dealer what antenna do you need. 

d) Have you pressed the MUTE button? 

Please, press this same button in order to restore the audio. 

f) Does the picture flicker or colour is gone? 

Please, refer to chapter System Menu>System Setting and check the values 

corresponding to TV System, RF System and Scart output.

Troubleshooting 

Self help 

The remote control does not work or works badly, the receiver turns on randomly... 

a) Are there any obstacles between the remote control and your Sat-receiver? 

b) Have you placed the receiver too far away from you? 

Make sure that the distance between the receiver and its remote control does not 

exceed eight meters, and that the angle is not wider than 15º. 

c) Are the batteries exhausted? 

Then, replace the batteries. 

Battery Type: AAA UM-4 1,5 V 

Caution: Batteries should always be thrown away in specially designated containers, 

for their disposal, not in the house waste bin! 

d) Does the receiver operate randomly due to another device’s remote control? 

This is possible since all remote controls must use the same frequency range. 

You can change the transmission code as described in chapter System>System 

Setting.
