Safety instructions
Beware of dangerous voltages in your receiver. Do not open the box. It may only be repaired by specialist personnel. Never place this Philips satellite-receiver outside in the rain or in a damp room to avoid short-circuits and fire or electrical shocks. Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that mains voltage corresponds to the voltage shown on the underside of the receiver. If not, contact your dealer. Make sure that no objects or fluids enter through the ventilation holes. Should liquid get into the receiver, remove the receiver plug from the contact box and consult a TV-technician. Make sure that the air can freely circulate through the ventilation holes. Leave a space of at least 3 cm all around the receiver. Do not place the receiver near heat sources (radiator, etc...) or a device with a significant magnetic field (such as an engine, transformer). Do not use the receiver in a dusty environment or in a place where it may be subjected to vibrations. Do not use the receiver immediately after having moved it from a cold to a hot place – or vice-versa, or in a very damp room. Avoid significant shocks if you have to transport the receiver. Clean the receiver with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products. The receiver delivers a rated voltage of 14 or 18 V to the satellite dish. Make sure that your satellite dish is only connected up via the inputs for the satellite dish and not with any other input. Never connect or replace a cable when the receiver is connected up to the mains network. Please read the following instructions first before connecting up the receiver.DSX7071/DSX6073

Your 5 in 1 Remote Control enables you to control most of your Philips Audio/Video Equipment through various modes: satellite receiver, TV, VCR, DVD and Amplifier Tuner. Pressing the MODE button once will remind you of the MODE you are in through blinking lights: left for SAT, middle for TV, right for VCR, left/middle for DVD, middle/right for Amp/Turner. To set the MODE, press the MODE button several times until the desired mode is reached. The sequence is: SAT->TV->VCR->DVD->Amp/Tuner. At every keypress, lights blink to indicate in which MODE you are in.Note:
some keys are shortcut keys to other MODES. In this case, the lights do not indicate the current MODE! (e.g. if you are in VCR MODE, pressing the volume keys will light the TV/middle indicator). You will find information about the functions available for TV, VCR, DVD and Amp/Tuner in Chapter 16. SATELLITE MODE (SAT)  - Remove the battery cover. - Insert the two batteries (type LR6/AA - 1.5 V) supplied. - Position them as shown in the diagram, in the battery compartment. - Replace the cover. natural_image
