1 Safety regulations
We advise you to read the following advice concerning the safety regulations carefully in order to ensure safe use of the appliance.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
- The appliance should only be supplied by a current of 230 Volt AC, 50Hz.
- The appliance must not be repaired in any way by the user, in case of breakages or failures please refer to the nearest centre for assistance.
- Do not remove the cover. The inside of the appliance could contain higher voltages than that of the supply voltage which could endanger the user. High voltage is also present when the appliance is on standby. The receiver should be disconnected from the electrical supply before performing any intervention. Non-authorised removal will mean that the warranty is no longer valid!
POWER CABLE
- Before installing the appliance make sure that the cable is intact, paying particular attention to its connection to the power supply and to the receiver. If the cable is damaged do not attempt to connect the appliance and refer the problem to an authorised centre for assistance.
- When installing the cable make sure that it can not be flattened in any way by items placed above or next to the appliance. Avoid placing the cable in an area where it could accidentally be stepped on, removed from the wall or damaged in any way.
- If the cable is damaged in any way carefully disconnect from the appliance and refer to specialised technicians or the centre for assistance to get a replacement.
LIQUIDS
- Keep the appliance far from any liquids. Do not place any objects containing liquids on the appliance, such as vases, humidifiers etc. The appliance must not be installed in areas where it could come into contact with sprays or drops of water or in an environment with a high level of humidity where condensation could occur.
- If the receiver should accidentally come into contact with liquids, disconnect immediately from the wall. DO NOT TOUCH the device until it has been disconnected.
SMALL OBJECTS
- Keep the receiver away from coins or other small objects. Objects which fall into the appliance via the ventilation gaps could cause serious damage.
CLEANING
- Before cleaning, disconnect the device from the power supply.
- To clean the outside of the receiver use a soft and dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using products which contain chemicals or solvents.
VENTILATION
- Make sure that the area where the appliance is to be installed has good air circulation so that the heat can be dissipate well in order to avoid overheating.
- In order to allow enough ventilation it is necessary to have a distance of at least 10 cm on either side of the appliance and 15cm above the appliance.
- The vents must be kept clear from any obstructions such as newspapers, table cloths, furniture material, curtains, carpets etc.
- Avoid installing the receiver close to any heat sources (i.e. radiators, stoves etc) or on top of any other appliances which omit heat (video players, DVD etc).
WARNING!
- Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
- The plastic bags used for packaging can be dangerous. To avoid suffocating keep the bags out of reach of children.
- Do not expose the receiver or remote control to direct sunlight.
- The appliance must be placed on a solid and stable base.
- Connect the device to the power supply only after installation is complete.
- Remove the batteries from the remote control if they will not be used for a long period of time. The remote control could be damaged by any eventual battery leakages.
- Dispose of the product correctly so as to avoid damage to the environment and human health as well as to facilitate recycling of the components/materials used in the appliance. If the product is not disposed of properly this could be punishable according to the involved law.
- The manufacturers recommend that the parts are recycled separately and are taken to sites which conform to current regulations.
- Take the product, including its accessories and batteries, when no longer usable to a collection point which is authorised to handle waste from electrical or electronic appliances that should be kept separate from regular household waste.

3 First time installation
When all the connections on the receiver are ready (section 2.2) and the power lead is plugged in, the receiver will start up automatically. If this does not happen, press the ⏻ button on the front panel of the receiver or on the remote control.
An easy installation menu will be displayed where you can set different parameters and then run the channel scan:
Step 1 – OSD Language
Use the arrow ◀/▶ button to select a language for the On Screen Display menu (OSD). Press ▼ to go to the next parameter.
Step 2 – Region
Use the arrow ◀/▶ buttons to select your Country. Press ▼ to proceed.
CAUTION
If a wrong Region is selected the channel scan may not detect all the channels available.
Step 3 - LCN Mode
When the Logical Channel Numbering option is active, after the scanning, the TV/Radio services will be automatically stored in the list following the order requested by the broadcasters. Press ▼ to go forward.
NOTE
When LCN mode is turned on, we suggest to not change the channel positions in the TV/Radio Channel List menu.
Step 4 – Tuner Power
If you are using an active antenna press ◀/▶ to power the antenna; this is necessary when, for instance, an indoor amplified antenna has to be powered by the receiver.
CAUTION
With a traditional antenna, like typical rooftop models, or an independently powered antenna, the antenna power option must be set to off: risk of overload!
Step 5 – Password Definition
Press OK on New Password field and input a 4-digit numeric password (PIN), then reinsert the same password on Confirm Password and push OK again. Press ▼ to proceed.
CAUTION
Password definition for Parental Control (par. 4.2) is mandatory for completing the installation.
Step 6 – Channel Scan
Press OK item to start the automatic channel scan. When the scan is completed, if there are no LCN conflict the receiver will enter the viewing mode, otherwise see below step.
Step 7 – LCN Conflict Resolution
When the LCN function is active and more than a service asks for the same channel list position, the system will recognize that conflict and display on screen a list of the involved services. Choose the preferred channel by using ▼/▲ arrow buttons e confirm with OK. As an alternative, go to the automatic solution. Also, if the user doesn't make a choice, after a few time the appliance will carry out a solution by itself. After these actions, the receiver will enter the viewing mode.
Step 8 – Time Setting
We suggested to check the time setting. Press MENU and go to Setup - Region and Time menu, choose the proper Summer Time option (Off/On) or change another type of time regulation (par. 4.5).
Step 9 – Video Configuration
For TV SCART output settings, go to Setup - TV System menu and regulate Aspect Ratio (16:9 Full Screen/Pillar Box or 4:3 Letter Box/Pan Scan) and Video Output (RGB or CVBS) respecting the technical characteristics of the connected screen.
4 Receiver settings
The first time installation procedure (chapter 3) will allow the receiver to be used with its basic functions. However the receiver offers many more advanced features and options that are illustrated in the following sections.
4.1 Password
To access settings and events locked by the Parental Control (par. 4.2), a password has to be entered. The password is defined by the end-user at the first time installation (cap. 3), but it can be changed by pressing MENU and selecting the Setup - Parental Lock.
CAUTION
If you forget your personal password, you have to reset the device by using Tools - Load Factory Default menu.
4.2 Parental Control
The Parental Control protects children by the viewing of sensitive contents. When an event is broadcasted with a parental rating equal or higher than the parental lock level defined on receiver menu, a system message will notify that the channel is locked. To see that channel, you have to enter the password (par. 4.1).
The factory set level is Age=18 and it can be changed by the user on Setup - Parental Lock - Channel Lock menu.
4.3 Advanced menu protection (Hotel Function)
The Hotel Function is a hidden utility, which consists in an advanced protection of the receiver. It allows to enter the main menu only by typing a password.

- User Define: the receiver will automatically set the time according to Greenwich Mean Time offset (GMT Offset parameter).
CAUTION
Some digital terrestrial services transmit information, which is strictly linked to a correct time setting of the receiver. In addition, under GMT usage, the receiver will follow the time data transmitted by the broadcaster.
4.6 Software Upgrading
Since this receiver is made to last, the time may come when its software needs to be modified or improved by updates. These updates will optimise the receiver's functions or correct minor flaws. Updates may be distributed to the receiver Over The Air (OTA).
