4 Connections
The references in bold type - a b c etc. refer to the diagram on page 8.
4.1 Mains connection
The receiver should only be connected to the mains supply after all connections with other
components and equipment have been made. This helps to eliminate the likelihood of dama-
ge to the receiver or other components.
c Once all other cable connections have been made, connect the receiver to a mains
supply of 230 V/50 Hz, using the mains cable included.
4.2 External Installation
4.2.1 Single unit operation
a Use a suitable coaxial cable to connect the LNB INPUT of the receiver to the LNB
unit of your external installation. Also note Point 5 "Installation".
4.2.2 Operation with an additional receiver connected to a single receiving unit
b Should you wish to operate a further piece of equipment, such as an analogue recei-
ver or an ADR satellite radio receiver, in conjunction with a single receiving unit, you
may use a suitable coaxial cable to connect the LNB input of the additional receiver
with the
LNB OUT connection on the DVB receiver. In order to ensure the satellite
signal is fed through to the additional receiver, the DVB receiver must be kept in
Standby mode. If the DVB receiver is switched on, this will receive priority in directing
the LNB signal.
4.3 Connection to a Television set
4.3.1 By means of a Scart cable:
In order to obtain the best picture quality possible, we advise you to use a Scart cable to
connect your receiver to the TV set.
The procedure is as follows:
g Connect the receiver ( SCART TV connection) with the TV set (Scart connection),
using a Scart cable. If your TV set is fitted with an appropriate connection, the set will
automatically switch to AV mode, and thus receive the satellite signal, whenever the
receiver is switched on.
4.3.2 By means of an HF connection
If your TV set is not fitted with a Scart connector, the receiver will have to be connected to
the antenna input of the TV set. If this form of connection is used, sound will only be availa-
ble in mono mode, and not in stereo.
The procedure is as follows:
h Using a suitable TV connection cable (coaxial), connect the receiver (HF OUT ) to
the antenna input connector of your TV set. The cable feeding the terrestrial signal
from the antenna should be connected to the
Terrestrial Antenna Input of the
receiver.
Now you must tune the TV set to the transmission channel used by the receiver. Select a
free programme slot on your TV set, and select channel 38 (if necessary, refer to the instruc-
tion manual of your TV set for this).
If you do not receive a clear picture on channel 38, this may indicate that either this or a
neighbouring channel are already receiving a programme signal via the antenna. You can
check on this by temporarily disconnecting the antenna cable from the
Terrestrial Anten-
na Input
of the receiver. If you then temporarily receive a clear picture, you should select a
