Installing remote control batteries

The remote control works with 2 AAA batteries, 1.5V (included). On the rear of the remote control, there is the batteries compartment. To open it, push slightly the upper part of the window
(identified by knurling) and slide the lid.
Place the batteries following the right polarity, indicated on the bottom of the compartment. Close the lid, sliding until the end. Use only batteries of the specified size and voltage.
If the remote control is not used for a long time, remove the batteries. Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control.
If liquid is produced from the batteries, wipe it off with a cloth and replace the batteries.
Do not throw batteries into fire, do not short-circuit them, do not open them or subject them to excessive temperature. Batteries are not rechargeable, do not attempt to recharge them. Replace the batteries with others of the same type. Do not use a new and an old battery or batteries of a different type, replace both with new identical ones. Do not disperse batteries in the environment.

Using the remote control
The remote control must be directed towards the front of the appliance, where the IR sensor is. Remove any object that may influence the trajectory from the remote control to the sensor. Exposure to strong sunlight could affect the sensitivity of the remote control.

Connection

WARNING: connect the appliance to the mains only after making all the necessary connections.
Make sure to have inserted the batteries in the remote control, adjustments may only be necessary with the remote control. Refer to the previous diagrams and images (Figure 2)
for the identification of the correct position of the sockets on the decoder.

Antenna connection
Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna connected to the wall socket with the ANT IN socket (see Figure 2) on the back of the device.

Connection to the television
There are two way to connect the appliance to the television: through an HDMI cable or a SCART cable (both cables are not included in the packing). Choose the most appropriate one based on the TV. If the TV is equipped with an HDMI socket, using it to have the maximum video and audio resolution being a digital output.

The SCART cable (not included) must be inserted in the proper socket on the television, following the correct polarity provided by the shape of the connector, and in the socket on the rear of the appliance (see Figure 2), automatically the television will show the home screen of the decoder, once turned on.

The HDMI cable (not included) must be inserted in the proper socket on the television and in the socket on the rear of the appliance (see Figure 2). It is recommended to take note of which TV socket is used (usually it is indicated as HDMI 1, HDMI 2, ….). The TV will not automatically display the initial screen of the decoder, it will be necessary to select the source using the TV remote control (see its manual, usually on the TV remote controls it is indicated as SOURCE, INPUT …; then choose the HDMI 1 icon .. or HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 based on the HDMI input to which the HDMI cable is connected).

Boot

Select the video source via the TV settings (see the TV manual for any information), if the HDMI connection is used; instead with the SCART connection, the selection will be automatic. On the decoder display the “0000” sign will appear.

The home screen INSTALLATION GUIDE allows the choice of the language (“Lingua OSD”) and the country (“Paese”), the possibility to search only the not encrypted (FTA: Free To Air) or also those the pay-per-view ones (ALL). Moreover, it’s possible to choose if supply the antenna or not (for further info see page 13). The factory settings for language and country are
“Italiano” (Italian) and “Italia” (Italy). Both the parameters can be changed via the arrows keys, after selecting what is wanted to modify, using the arrows keys on the remote control skip to the next menu.

Once the choice is made select CHANNEL SEARCH using the arrows key, then press OK to start the automatic search of the channels. Pressing EXIT the main menu is open.
The operation may take a few minutes. At the end of the search, the decoder may require the choice between two channels that would occupy the same position, to make the choice use the arrow keys and finally the OK key. If no choice is made the first channel will be selected.

IMPORTANT NOTES
In the event that the channels stored in the search are not arranged according to the national standard which provides for their ordering according to their importance (RAI 1 on channel 1; RAI 2 on channel 2; RAI 3 on channel 3, RETE 4 on Channel 4 ; CANALE 5 on channel 5; ITALIA 1 on channel 6; LA7 on channel 7 …), means that the LCN function is not active. To activate the LCN order, please follow the instructions in the following chapter (PROGRAM).

Overview of the menus
The main menu is divided in 7 submenus: PROGRAM, PICTURE, SEARCH, TIME, OPTION, SYSTEM and USB. Access to the main menu is by pressing the MENU button on the remote control. Using the arrow keys, you can open the various submenus.

Program
This menu allows you to sort, modify and delete the stored channels. To open the menu PROGRAM, select the first icon bottom from the left.
In this menu it is possible to activate the “LCN” function: select with the arrow keys SORT and select between the different options BY LCN, then activate the LCN, selecting LCN and ON, as in the picture above; so, the channels will be arranged according to national importance. The factory setting provides that the channels are automatically arranged according to LCN, and the LCN sorting is active, just like in the image above.
IMPORTANT: to activate sorting by LCN both the sorting by LCN (SORT: BY LCN) and LCN activation (LCN: ON) must be selected.

Picture
This menu allows you to change the image display format. The format is set automatically according to the TV to which the decoder is connected. If not, select 576I / P or 702P if you are using a TV with only the SCART socket, or 1080i / p if you are using a TV with an HDMI socket (1080p gives the maximum video resolution, but not all TVs support it). This menu also allows you to change the SCART output (TV-SCART), the display on the decoder via

PANEL SETTING (whether to display the channel number or the current time during transmission).
To open the menu PICTURE, select the second icon bottom from the left.
Search
This menu allows you to search the channels, both automatic and manual. To open the menu SEARCH, select the third icon bottom from the left.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the ANTENNA POWER parameter should normally be left OFF unless a portable indoor antenna that requires an external 5Vdc power supply is connected. These indoor antennas are special antennas and are designed to operate at 5Vdc, taking their power from the “RF IN” socket on the decoder. By enabling the ANTENNA POWER function and connecting an antenna cable from the decoder to the indoor antenna, we will supply, through the same antenna cable, the voltage necessary to power the internal amplifier of the antenna. So, if the decoder is connected the antenna to the home TV system or an indoor antenna that does not require a voltage of 5Vdc, the antenna power supply must be left off.

Time
This menu allows the time zone to be adjusted and the decoder to be turned off automatically using the SLEEP (HOUR) function (it is possible to set from 1 to 12 hours), as per European
regulations it is set to 3 hours1. By entering POWER ON/OFF you can set the automatic switching on and off of the decoder. To open the TIME menu, select the fourth icon at the bottom from the left.

This function contributes to energy saving by ensuring that the device turns off after the time set after the last command sent via the remote control. Before switching off, a message is displayed, see the chapter Energy saving.

System
This menu allows you to change the system settings. To open the SYSTEM menu, select the sixth icon from the bottom left.

USB
This menu allows you to manage the multimedia options. To open the USB menu, select the seventh icon at the top from the left.
