This satellite receiver is intended for reception of picture and  
sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.  
Protect Your Environment!  
Attention!  
Do not throw used batteries from the remote control handset  
in the household waste. Dispose of the batteries at a special  
collecting point.  
Make absolutely sure that your receiver is not exposed to drip-  
ping or splashing water. Protect the receiver from moisture.  
In addition, ensure that the ventilation openings are never  
obstructed.  
Do not place your receiver near sources of heat.  
Heat build-up in the receiver is a source of danger and redu-  
ces the receiver´s operating life.  
These operating instructions are printed on chlorine-free  
paper which helps to protect the environment.  
When operating the receiver in a wall unit (or in a camper, for  
example), maintain distances of at least 10 cm – see illustra-  
tion.  
For reasons of ecology, always switch off the receiver with its  
mains switch when it is not used for a longer time.  
Always keep in mind: Even with the low standby power con-  
sumption of 10 W, you will consume 70 kWh within one year.  
Even when switched off, the unit may be damaged by light-  
ning striking the mains and/or aerial lead.  
During a thunderstorm, you should therefore always dis-  
connect the mains and aerial plugs.

Important Information  
General  
Selecting the Aerial Input  
For the description of the unit´s functions, it is assumed that  
the aerial has correctly been installed and that the receiver  
has correctly been connected.  
The receiver is provided with two aerial inputs. Preprogram-  
ming in the factory has been made for the standard solution,  
comprising one LNC with frequency switching by means of a  
14/18 V supply voltage, and polarization switching by means  
of a magnetic or mechanic polarizer.  
If you wish to implement different solutions, such as, for  
example, two-cable distribution in the first IF level (separate  
H/V), several aerials, or multi-feed mode, it is necessary to  
activate the second aerial input with respect to the program-  
me position.

If this channel should already be occupied by your video

channel (see paragraphe "Modulat. – Adjusting the Modulator  
Channel"). You have the choice between channel 25 and  
channel 60. The televison must also be tuned to this channel.  
Hint  
The receiver is already preprogrammed to all current pro-  
grammes from a number of satellites.  
See the yellow pages: "Station Table of the Satellite Stations".  
16:9 Switching  
If you wish a different programme order, it is very easy to  
change the existing order.  
If a switching voltage (6 V) for the 16:9 picture format is pre-  
sent on the EURO-AV DECODER or VCR socket, this will be  
evaluated and passed to the EURO-AV TV socket. Correspon-  
dingly equipped TV sets then are automatically switched to  
the 16:9 format.  
For detailed information, see the corresponding explanation  
(SORT function in the chapter "The Mode Menu").

Basic Adjustment of the Polarmount Aerial  
General  
A polarmount aerial is constructed so that the imaginary line,  
on which the satellites are orbiting at a distance of 36000 km  
Attention!  
above the equator, can be followed by a single control func-  
tion of the motor.  
There are a number of different motor types and motor  
fixings.  
The action radius of the aerial (max. deflection to the east and  
the west) can be restricted by limit switches inside the motor,  
or by mechanical end stops. This is especially necessary to  
protect the aerial from running against obstructions (walls,  
trees, etc).  
It is not allowed to use these limits to protect the aerial  
from running against obstructions. If a test run should be  
necessary for adjustments at a later date, these limits  
would be overridden and the aerial thus could be dama-  
ged. The following illustration shows the relations.  
In addition, the receiver is provided with electronic limit swit-  
ches (similar to tab stops on a typewriter) for restricting the  
action radius of the aerial.

This represents the zero position of the internal counter and  
is the reference point for all satellite positions programmed at  
a later date.  
For rotary systems, LNC´s with switchable frequency range  
are used. Polarization switching can be effected by means of  
a 14/18V* supply voltage or magnetic/motor-driven polari-  
zers. You can also use feed-in systems (reception systems)  
with 2 separate LNC´s for different frequency ranges (inclu-  
ding a wave-guide separating filter).  
Your receiver is provided with 2 aerial inputs (Input A, Input  
B) which make it possible to connect an additional aerial (for  
example, permanently pointing at the Astra satellite, which  
then is permanently available).  
Setting limits  
When searching new satellites at a later date with the help of  
the manual aerial positioning function, it may happen that the  
limit switches or mechanical end stops (crash) are often run  
to. To avoid this, electronic limits can be set at a short  
distance in front of these end positions. For this, press the

As a number of satellites are not fixed exactly according to

To adjust the optimum skew value for the upper frequency  
range (12.5GHz), it is necessary to search a further satellite  
(e.g., Kopernikus) and to adjust a station with V2 respectively  
H2 following the already explained adjustment method.  
Neutral adjustment  
It is possible to connect in addition to the rotary aerial a fixed  
aerial to your receiver. For example, the rotary system to  
input A and an aerial which is permanently directed at the  
Astra satellite to input B (see chapter "Connection Examples").  
The skew values V2 and H2 have no influence on the values  
of H1 and V1. The SKEW ALL function can be used again and  
greatly facilitates programming.  
The position of the rotary system should not change when  
switching to a programme position used with the fixed aerial.  
Enter "0°" as position for the satellite whose programmes you  
wish to receive by means of the fixed aerial. The display then  
indicates "--" instead of a value for the satellite position. The  
rotary system then will keep its orientation (position).

General  
¢P/F – Selecting Programme/Frequency  
As already stated, the receiver has been preprogrammed at  
the factory for the main programmes from the most impor-  
tant satellites.  
If you wish a different programme order or intend to correct  
adjustments, this can easily be done by means of the buttons  
on the front of the receiver and, in certain cases, with the but-  
tons on the remote control handset. However, this should  
only be done after having carried out the basic adjustment of  
the polarmount aerial.

P/F button to switch between programme posi-  
¢

The display indicates the programme positions 1 to 199 or, in  
frequency entry mode, 10700 to 13000 MHz. Real reception,  
however, is only possible in the frequency range for which the  
used LNC has been designed. In this mode, direct frequency  
entry with the numeric buttons of the remote control handset  
is possible.

If the stop time lies before the start time, Timer operation will  
be terminated only next day (for example, with 15.40 ... 13.20  
hours. However, for recording a programme broadcast bet-  
ween 23.40 and 0.40 hours, this entry makes sense and is  
necessary).

Now, if you press the  
button, the selected Timer position  
is cleared and the Timer menu is automatically exited.

If you press the button instead, the Timer position will

not be cleared and you can change the set values.  
Timer operation  
As soon as the start time is reached, the corresponding pro-  
gramme is switched on. The symbol for the active Timer is  
Indicating the Timer functions

flashing (e.g.  
with Timer 1).  
During normal operation, the symbols of all programmed  
Timer positions are illuminated in the receiver´s display.  
When the Timer menu is active, the indication "TIMER" and  
the symbol of the selected Timer are visible in the display.  
During Timer operation, the symbols of the programmed  
Timer positions are illuminated and the symbol of the active  
Timer is flashing.  
At the same time, a switching voltage is output on the EURO-  
AV VCR socket. Correspondingly equipped video recorders  
switch immediately to "AV recording".  
When the stop time is reached, the receiver switches to  
standby and the Timer concerned is automatically cleared.  
The switching voltage on the EURO-AV VCR socket is  
switched off. Correspondingly equipped video recorders  
switch to "STOP".  
During timer operation (flashing Timer symbol), it is not allo-  
wed to make any adjustments on the recorder or by means of  
the remote control handset. This would interfere with Timer  
recording.  
Remote control via a video recorder  
If you possess a correspondingly equipped GRUNDIG video  
recorder, the receiver can remotely be controlled in a very  
convenient way via the recorder. In this case, preprogram-  
ming of up to 8 Timer positions is possible.  
The necessary remote control cable can be obtained as  
GRUNDIG accessory.  
The cable must be connected to the video recorder and to the  
socket  
q`  
(REM. CONTR. VCR) on the receiver (see "Rear of  
Receiver"). Then, the receiver can be switched to standby.  
When a programme is recorded, the indication "VCR-REC".  
is flashing in the display of the receiver. During a video recor-  
ding, it is not allowed to make any adjustments on the recei-  
ver (or with the remote control handset of the receiver). This  
would interfere with the recording.

Pin Assignment of the EURO-AV Sockets  
If you want to connect auxiliary units (for example, a video  
recorder or decoder), your dealer can make a standard  
connection by means of the following connection table:  
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.
