Description With this receiver, you are able to receive digital satellite channels via a satellite antenna. You need not program the receiver. The most common broadcasting stations of the mostly used satellites are pre-programmed. You can receive the channels broadcasted through these satellites as soon as you have connected the receiver to a satellite antenna and oriented it to one of these satellites.
The receiver gets a firmware update program through the Astra 19° satellite.
• Loop-through function for the connection of an analogue receiver, (F connection, loop through) • Super Fast Videotext with a memory of 800 pages • Radio reception, background image for radio • Channel information on the screen, current time • DiSEqC 1.0, 1.
Connecting the Receiver The receiver is connected by means of an LNB cable with the connector box of your satellite antenna. You must install the LNB cable before connecting the receiver, if necessary. The LNB cable is not included in the scope of supply. Caution! Connect the receiver to the mains only after you have connected it to all equipment and the antenna properly. Otherwise the receiver can suffer damages. The wire netting and the inner core of the LNB cable carry current during operations.
