Handling storage media
Make a backup of your data on an external storage device after every update. We do not accept any liability for compensation claims arising from loss of data or damages incurred as a result of such losses.
Proper use
The MD 24115 digital satellite receiver is used to privately receive digital satellite TV and radio channels.
It is not intended for use in establishments that are part of public telecommunications networks in the industrial sector.
HDTV
The receiver can pick up free-to-air channels in HD quality.
Encrypted channels can also be picked up via the common interface slot, inasmuch as authorisation has been acquired from the corresponding station. The prerequisite for HD quality reception of both encrypted and free-to-air channels is that these channels are broadcast in HD quality.
The satellite unit
Connect the receiver to your satellite antenna using a coaxial cable. To do so you require a satellite antenna with a universal LNB for digital reception.
Connect and roughly align the antenna
If you have not yet mounted and aligned your satellite unit, you must first find a suitable location for installing the antenna.
Bear in mind, the antenna must be facing in a south-easterly direction. In other words, if you stand behind your antenna you must have an unobstructed view to the south-east. The 90° angle between south and east is home to nearly all of the standard satellite positions, e.g. ASTRA1 19.2°E, Eutelsat Hotbird 13°E, Türksat 42°E.
Please note that the antenna should never be mounted behind a balcony parapet, wall or other barriers (e.g. trees).
After making all the connections, you can begin to set up the antenna. Please recheck that the receiver is connected to the antenna via the LNB and that the receiver is connected to the television. Once these connections have been correctly made, you can switch on the device.
Step one:
Switch your television on. Select the AV channel.
Step two:
Now switch your receiver on. Please note that the receiver is pre-programmed for the most standard satellites and their stations and that you merely have to enter the programme slots via the number pad on the receiver's remote control. Example: If you want to receive ASTRA 19.2°E, you simply have to set your receiver to programme position 1 to align your antenna. The same applies for other satellites, such as Hotbird. If you want to align your antenna for Hotbird, you must call up the pre-programmed channel selection for Hotbird on your receiver.
Step three:
Now align your antenna toward the selected satellite. There are several possibilities for doing this. The simplest and cheapest solution is as follows:
Stand behind your antenna and move it into a vertical position (see diagram B). Ensure that the receiver component of the antenna is pointing south (see diagram A).
| Diagram A. ha (horizontal angle) | Diagram B. va (vertical angle) | |
![]() | ![]() | |
While watching the TV screen, turn the antenna slowly towards the east (left) until the receiver component is facing directly east, in other words 90°.

With digital satellite reception the receiver picks up the signal with a slight time delay. Therefore, turn your antenna very slowly and wait a few seconds in each position until the receiver displays the signal strength in the on-screen menu.
Now steepen the angle by 1° . To do this, pull the top of the antenna. Now move the antenna slowly back to its starting point facing south. Now move the antenna back down by 1° and turn it left again (towards the east). Repeat these steps until the horizontal angle and the elevation angle cross, for example at 19.2° E for ASTRA1, and you can receive the preset programme on your television.
Check again whether you are receiving the preset programme selection on your receiver and use CH button on the remote control to scroll through the channels.
Once you are receiving the desired satellite, you can optimise the antenna alignment until you have a perfect picture on all channels. You can achieve this by adjusting the horizontal and elevation angles (see diagrams A and B).
Finally, tighten all the screws so that the position of the antenna remains firmly fixed.
General
You can use your receiver to watch unencrypted ("free to air") satellite programmes via a satellite antenna. You can receive encrypted satellite channels using the CI module and smart card (not supplied).
The satellite antenna must be pointed at the appropriate satellite.
To receive most German-language channels and many other European channels, you need only a single antenna that is directed at the ASTRA satellite 19.2° east.
Preset channel list
The principal satellites and channels have been pre-programmed. In other words, you do not need programme the receiver after start-up or carry out a station search. You can, however, search for new stations at any time by carrying out a station search for a specific satellite or all satellites.

Connecting the device
Notes on making connections
In order for the appliance to work correctly it is essential that the antenna is installed properly and aligned to the best possible position for digital satellite reception.
▶ Always ensure that:
- the cable is not caught in anything, that it is not touching any sharp or hot objects, and
- that you have unplugged all the appliances for which you are making connections.
This prevents damage occurring due to short circuits or the risk of an electric shock if you make incorrect connections.

DANGER!
Never make connections during a thunder storm! Power surges in the metal parts of the appliance may occur via the external antenna or power lines during a thunderstorm. There is a risk of electric shock.
Connect satellite antenna
Connect the receiver to your satellite antenna using a coaxial cable. To do this you require a satellite antenna with a universal LNB for digital reception.
Assembling the antenna cable
Before connecting the receiver you may need to assemble the antenna cable.

The wire mesh and the inner conductor of the antenna cable conduct electricity during use. Never touch the antenna cable during operation. There is a risk of electric shock.
To attach the F plug onto the coaxial cable you will need a wire stripper and wire cutters.
▶ Strip 8 mm off each end of the coaxial cable down to the inner conductor.
▶ Carefully remove 10 mm of the outer insulation to expose the wire mesh.
▶ Fold the wire mesh back and over the outer insulation so that it cannot touch the inner conductor.
Remove the inner insulation up until 2 mm from the wire mesh.
▶ Screw the F plug onto the folded-back wire mesh until the plug abuts against the inner insulation.
The wire mesh should not protrude beyond the end of the plug.
- Trim the inner conductor with a wire cutter so that no more than 1 mm extends from the plug.

Connecting the antenna cable

- Connect the antenna cable to the LNB IN input socket.

Follow the assembly instructions for the satellite antenna and the antenna cable.
Connecting more than one antenna
If you use a switching box, you can connect several antennas or an LNB with multiple outputs to the receiver. This is can be necessary for multiple subscriber systems or the interconnection of satellites using satellite antennas with different alignments.
Connect the multi-switch as described in the multi-switch documentation.
- Connect the multi-switch to the LNB IN input socket.
Connecting the TV
The appliance has several types of video output with various signal qualities and allocations.

You may need to refer to your TV documentation to make the correct connections and to select the right source.
Connecting with a HDMI cable
The HDMI output provides the best-quality pictures and sound. You will need a HDMI connection to be able to play high-resolution digital television.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) in consumer electronics is the only interface that transmits audio and video data simultaneously. It can process all current picture and sound formats, including HDTV (High Definition Television).
You can connect your SAT receiver to a television set with either an HDMI input or a DVI input (HDMI is downwards compatible to DVI – Digital Visual Interface). To connect to a HDMI input you simply need a HDMI cable.
If your television set has a DVI socket, you will also need an adapter (HDMI – DVI): these are available in specialist stores.
Please note that a DVI connection will only carry pictures and no sound. Sound must be carried over a separate cable (e.g cinch).
Connection scheme for the HDMI connection:

Connect HDMI cable to the HDMI connection on the receiver and the corresponding HDMI connection on the television.

Once you have connected the television set with the HDMI or DVI input then start

by switching on this appliance only. Wait approximately 30 seconds and only then switch on the SAT receiver.
The SAT receiver is pre-configured for a resolution of 1080i, 50 Hz. If your television has a different protocol or picture format, you can set this in the menu: MENU > System settings > AV settings > Resolution.

Please note: The HDMI output has been certified according to the valid HDMI standard. It is possible, however, in certain cases that the connection is not compatible with the DVI or HDMI connection on another device, which will make error-free transmission impossible. This is not a fault in the SAT receiver.
Connecting with a component cable
The second-best picture quality is offered by the component connections Y Pb Pr (also called YUV). This connection type also requires an additional sound connection.
Connection scheme for the component connection:

Connect the component cables (red/green/blue) (not supplied) to the Y Pb Pr outputs on the device and the corresponding inputs on the TV set.
▶ Also connect the audio cable (red/white) to the R-AUDIO and L-AUDIO connections on the device and the corresponding audio inputs on the TV set.
Connecting with a S-Video cable

Connect the S-VIDEO connection on the device to the TV's video input.
▶ Also connect the Audio L R connections on the device and the corresponding audio inputs on the TV set.
Connecting with a SCART cable
On the TV SCART connection there are good quality video and audio signals. The colour signals (RGB), in particular, are provided separately from each other here.
Connection scheme for the SCART connection:

Connect a SCART cable (not supplied) to the TV SCART connection on the receiver and the corresponding SCART connection on the television.
Connecting with cinch cable
You can also connect the satellite receiver solely via cinch cable (not supplied). The CVBS cinch connection provides only video signals with integrated colour signal (FBAS). Use this connection for devices with a single video input.
Connection scheme for the cinch connection:

- Connect the CVBS connection on the appliance to the TV's video input.
▶ Also connect the audio cable (red/white) to the R-AUDIO and L-AUDIO connections on the device and the audio inputs on the TV set.
Sound system – analogue
If you would like to hear the TV sound via a sound system, you can use the L/R cinch outputs.

Connect the R-AUDIO and L-AUDIO connections to the corresponding inputs (or AUX inputs) on the sound system.
Sound system – digital
Although your receiver receives the signals digitally it has to convert them first to analogue signals for traditional hi-fi systems. This may reduce the quality slightly. You can avoid this loss of quality if you use the receiver's S/PDIF output, e.g. for an amplifier or a Dolby Surround decoder.

Connect the S/PDIF output to the digital input on your amplifier or Dolby Surround system using a suitable cable.
Connecting a USB device
You can connect a USB device to show images or listen to audio files or to record programmes.
▶ Open up the panel on the front of the device.
Insert the plug of a USB cable or a USB device into the USB connection.
▶ If necessary, connect the other plug to the external USB device.
Operating the appliance
Insert batteries into the remote control
▶ Open the battery compartment.
▶ Insert two batteries (1.5V Micro, AAA/LR03) into the battery compartment. Pay attention to the polarity +/- (the negative terminal faces the spring).
▶ Close the battery compartment.

Mains connection
▶ After making the connections, plug the mains plug into a properly installed socket (230V \~ 50Hz).

DANGER!
Only use sockets that are in perfect condition. Unstable plugs or sockets can cause fires. Reception may be impaired if the plugs or sockets are defective. Do not use defective sockets under any circumstances. Have defective plugs or sockets repaired by a specialist before using the appliance.
DANGER!
Pull the plug out of the socket immediately if the plug or power cable is damaged. Arrange for customer services to exchange the mains cable for a new one with a sealed plug.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains power until the damage has been repaired. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock.
DANGER!
Never cover the ventilation openings on the base and upper side of the appliance.
The appliance produces heat even when in standby mode. Covering the ventilation openings may cause fires.
Do not leave electrical appliances unattended while they are switched on.
Unplug the appliance if you plan to leave it unattended for an extended period (e.g. holiday).
Unplug the appliance and remove the aerial cable if a thunderstorm is expected.
This prevents a local lightning strike from damaging your appliances.

Common Interface and Smart Card
On the front of the device behind the panel you will find the slot intended for Common Interface modules. The CI modules are equipped with Smart Cards for decoding encrypted channels.
CI module
Before inserting the Common Interface (CI) module, shut down the receiver completely using the power switch at the rear of the device.
▶ Open the panel and slide the CI module into the slot as far as it will go. The press stud on the right of the slot appears.

In order to avoid damage, only modules that bear the PC Card logo may be inserted. Other modules can cause irreparable damage to the receiver. Do not use force to insert a module. Instead, remove the module from slot and insert it again. Ensure that the correct side is facing upwards.
Smart card
- Insert the smart card in the CI module
Smart cards often have confusing labelling as they have been designed for other decoders. Most Common Interface modules expect the cards to be inserted with the shiny, gold contacts facing upwards.
▶ Afterwards, switch the receiver on again. The module will be initialised. Depending on the programme provider, a message on your screen. Please follow these instructions.

If you possess a CI module which only accepts the chip from your smart card, then you must first insert the chip and the CI module into the Common Interface slot.
Now close the panel of the Common Interface slot (if no external USB device is connected). This will help you to protect the interior of your device from contamination.
As long as you want to watch the encrypted channels, the CI module and its smart card must remain correctly inserted into the Common Interface slot.
The CI module (with or without smart card) can be left in the Common Interface slot when the device is switched to standby mode or turned off at the power switch.
To remove the CI module from the Common Interface slot, open the panel and push in the press stud on the right-hand side of the slot. You can now remove the CI module with its inserted smart card.

If you have any questions, please refer to the module's manufacturer.
