Frequently Asked Questions - SRT 6780 STRONG

How do I connect the STRONG SRT 6780 to my TV and VCR?

Use the supplied SCART lead to connect the TV SCART socket on the receiver to your TV's SCART input. For a VCR, use an additional SCART lead (not supplied) to connect the VCR SCART socket on the receiver to your VCR's SCART input. Also connect the satellite dish cable to the RF input. Ensure all equipment is disconnected from mains before connecting.

How do I change the menu language on the SRT 6780?

Press MENU, then use ▲/▼ to highlight Preferences and press OK. Select Languages and press OK. Use ▲/▼ to select the language line (e.g., Menu language) and ◀/▶ to choose your preferred language. Press EXIT to confirm.

How can I set up parental controls on my STRONG satellite receiver?

Press MENU, go to Preferences > Parental Control. Enter the receiver PIN (default 0000). Then you can enable Decoder Lock to lock the entire receiver, or go to Channels Locking to select specific channels to lock. Use OK to tick/untick channels. You can also change the PIN under Receiver PIN Code Modification.

How do I record a satellite program with a VCR?

Ensure the receiver is on and tuned to the channel you want to record. Set your VCR to record at the correct time from its appropriate AV input (the one connected to the receiver's VCR SCART). The receiver must be on that channel during recording. You cannot watch a different digital channel while recording – the VCR will record whatever channel the receiver is tuned to.

What should I do if my remote control stops working?

First, ensure nothing is blocking the IR signal on the front panel. Press the SAT key on the remote – the red LED on the receiver should blink when any button is pressed. If not, replace both batteries (AAA). Check they are inserted with correct polarity. If still not working, try re-pairing? (not applicable – standard IR). Also ensure you are in SAT mode, not TV or DVD.

How do I perform a first-time installation and channel search?

Connect the receiver and switch on. If the Language screen appears, select your language and proceed. Follow the on-screen screens: set time zone, configure antenna (e.g., One LNB, Universal LNB type), then check signal strength (aim for >60% on both power and quality). In Channels Search, select Network for pre-defined channels and press OK to start scanning. After completion, press OK to watch TV.

How can I update the software of the SRT 6780?

Press MENU, go to Configuration > Software Upgrade. Choose Automatic to use default settings or Manual to enter satellite, frequency, polarization, symbol rate, and FEC. Press OK to start the upgrade. Ensure your dish is properly aligned and signal is good during the process.

How do I reset the receiver to factory defaults?

Press MENU, go to Configuration > Default Configuration Restoration. You will be prompted for the receiver PIN (default 0000). Press OK to confirm – all settings, including channel lists and preferences, will be erased. The receiver will restart with factory settings. Use with caution.

How can I check the satellite signal strength and quality?

Press MENU, go to Information > Signal Quality. The screen shows bars for power and quality. For proper reception, both should be at least 60%. If low, adjust your satellite dish or LNB. You can also access signal check during installation from Antenna System Adjust screen.

How do I insert the smart card correctly?

Hold the smart card with the picture facing up and the arrow pointing toward the receiver. The gold 'smart' patch should be facing downward and at the end away from you. Insert it gently into the smart card slot on the front panel until it clicks fully in. Do not force it. Avoid bending the card or exposing it to liquids.

Precautions

Never open your set yourself. It could be dangerous and you risk electric shock or damaging the set. The opening of the box is protected by a warranty sticker on the rear panel. Any noticed damage will invalidate the warranty conditions of your equipment.

Installation - Ensure that the voltage from the mains in your room complies with that indicated on the back of your set (identification label, screen marking, etc.). Do not connect an AC or DC power supply other than that from the mains. Ensure that the electric plug is fully connected into the wall socket. Leave the mains socket accessible so that you can unplug the set quickly. Place the set horizontally, away from any source of heat (sunlight, radiator, fireplace, etc.) or from equipment which produces high magnetic or electrical fields (motors, non-insulated loud speakers, etc.). If you install your set in a cabinet, ensure that it has enough ventilation. Leave 7 to 10 cm around the set, as shown in the enclosed drawing. The openings on top and underneath the set are for ventilation purposes. They must not be obstructed.

Use - The set is designed for use in a dry place. If, under exceptional circumstances, you happen to use it outdoors, (e.g. on a balcony or in a tent), make absolutely certain that it is protected from humidity (dew, rain, splashes) and from heat. If the set has spent some time in a cold atmosphere, (after transport during winter), wait until the condensation has evaporated from the metal parts before connecting it. The set is intended to operate at an ambient temperature of less than 40^ Celsius and a maximum humidity level of 95%. It must not, under any circumstances, be used for industrial purposes, as it was designed for domestic use only.

In case of a storm - It is recommended that you unplug the set from the mains and from the socket connected to the outside aerial. As a general rule, it is preferable to unplug the set from the mains if you are away for a prolonged period. If you smell any suspicious odours or see smoke coming from the set, unplug the set immediately and have it checked by an approved technician.

Maintenance - Use a dry, clean, soft cloth with no cleaning, solvent or abrasive products, etc. The openings on top of and underneath the set are for ventilation purposes and must not be obstructed. Clean the ventilation grilles regularly. If an object or liquid gets into the set, unplug the set immediately and have it checked by an approved technician.

This symbol on your set guarantees that your product complies with the European directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC on safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

This symbol indicates “Dangerous voltage” in the set. It represents the risk of electric shock or bodily injury.

Note:

This product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components which can be recycled and reused.

This symbol means that electrical and electronic equipment, at their end-of-life, should be disposed of separately from your household waste.

Please, dispose of this equipment at your local community waste collection/recycling centre.

In the European Union there are separate collection systems for used electrical and electronic product.

Please, help us to conserve the environment we live in!
