4 Basic operation

Dear Customer,

TECHNISAT Technistar S6 - Basic operation - 1

The following section starts by covering basic operation as well as the recurrent steps for operating the device. This should make it easier to read the quick start manual, since it avoids repeated description of identical steps at each individual stage.

If a function or setting for the device needs to differ from the basic operation, the difference in operation is described in detail at the relevant point in the operating manual.

The so-called "On Screen Display" (OSD) is used in your device. This simplifies the operation of your device since the buttons on the remote control can perform different functions. This makes it possible to reduce the number of buttons. On this On Screen Display (OSD) the selected functions or settings can be highlighted.

Furthermore, on the lower edge of the screen there is a line where individual buttons on the remote control are represented with their current functions. In this instruction manual the terms shown in the OSD as well as the buttons to be pressed are distinguished from the rest of the text by the print format used.

Your entry will be displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

As the Teletext pages cannot all be transmitted by the broadcaster at the same time, it may take a few seconds before the page is displayed. This is the case when the requested page cannot be instantly read into the memory, e.g. when using the Teletext search immediately after the channel is changed.

13.5.3 Teletext subpages

If Teletext subpages exist for a selected Teletext page, the subpages already loaded are indicated on the left, alongside the Teletext display. As soon as a new subpage is available, this is automatically displayed.

Use the OK button to show a specific subpage. The column on the left side of the screen is enabled. Subpages that have already been acquired are displayed.
Use the up/down arrow buttons to select the desired subpage.
You can exit the display of specific subpages by pressing OK.

13.5.4 Mixed mode

Pressing the Teletext button again enables mixed viewing mode. This means that the Teletext is superimposed on the TV picture.

13.5.5 Exiting Teletext

Pressing the Teletext button takes you back to normal mode.

14 Software update via USB interface

The update can be performed using a standard USB flash stick which has been formatted in the FAT32 format.

Now copy the software file onto the USB flash stick.
If you only want to run a single update, copy the singleupdate file or, for multiple updates, the autoupdate file to the USB stick.

Please bear in mind that the singleupdate or autoupdate files may not have a file extension. Please also note that, to do this, the folder settings on your PC must be set to hide file extensions.

Do not store multiple software files on the USB stick. Furthermore, the "autoupdate" and "singleupdate" files must not be present at the same time.

Now switch the receiver to standby and insert the USB stick into the receiver's USB port. Now switch the receiver on.

The update process is now displayed in the following steps.

  • The message Loading software from data medium will now appear

  • Then a progress bar appears showing the progress of the software loading operation.

When the update is complete, the TV picture appears again. You can now switch the receiver to standby and remove the USB stick.
