Safety notes
For your own protection, please read through the safety precautions carefully before
proceeding to operate your new unit.
The manufacturer will accept no liability for injuries or damage caused by inappropriate
handling or non-compliance with the safety precautions.
-
The appliance has a fully integrated hard drive.
There is no provision for this drive to be exchanged other than by an authorised
TechniSat retailer/technician. Any unauthorised replacement of the hard drive will mean
that TechniSat will no longer guarantee that the appliance complies with legal
requirements (e.g. laws relating to appliance and product safety, laws relating to
electromagnetic compatibility of appliances). The CE mark will no longer be valid. When
the altered product is sold on, the person responsible for the alteration will become the
manufacturer and will be liable accordingly. The TechniSat guarantee will no longer
apply either and warranty rights may be lost.
-
The appliance should only be operated in a moderate climate.
-
To ensure adequate ventilation, place the appliance on a flat, even surface and do not
place any objects on top of it, as there are ventilation slots here to allow heat to escape
from the interior.
-
Do not place any burning objects, e.g. lit candles on top of the unit.
-
Do not expose the unit to dripping or sprayed water and do not place any objects filled
with water, e.g. vases, on top of it. If water gets into the unit, pull out the mains plug
immediately and contact Customer Service.
-
Do not operate any sources of heat near the unit, which could heat it up additionally.
-
-
Do not poke any objects through the ventilation slots.

in case of severe malfunctions
in case of significant external damage
When not in use
During a storm or when not in use for a long period (e.g. holiday), the unit should be
disconnected from the mains and the antenna cable should be removed.
Before disconnecting the unit from the mains, you should first switch it to standby and then
wait until the time appears in the display and the red LED lights up.
Important notes on operation
The use of so-called “On Screen Displays” (OSD) means that operation of the digital receiver
is simplified, and the number of keys on the remote control unit reduced. All functions are
displayed on screen, and can be controlled by means of a few simple keystrokes. Functions
that are logically connected are combined in a “MENU”. Any function selected will be
indicated in a different colour. The function keys red, yellow, blue and green are indicated by
coloured bars at the bottom of the screen. In the various menus, these coloured bars
represent different functions, which can be implemented by pressing the appropriate
coloured keys (multi-function keys) on the remote control. The function keys are only
activated when a brief description is displayed in the appropriate field.
Key names and terms that appear in the OSD menu are shown in black type in this
operating manual.
Help: If present, help text can be shown and hidden by pressing the blue function key.
Important note on data security
We recommend that you save a backup copy of the data on your DigiCorder before handing

(1 programme in HD format and 1 programme in SD format or 2 programmes in
SD format) or call up any recording on the hard drive.
Simultaneously record two programmes (1 programme in HD format and
1 programme in SD format or 2 programmes in SD format) even if these are received
in differing reception fields.
Simultaneously receive two different programmes (even differing fields of reception;
1 programme in HD format and 1 programme in SD format or 2 programmes in
SD format) and at the same time show a previously recorded programme.
If only one antenna connection is available for connection to the receiver, only a limited
range of recording and playback options is available.

8 Hard drive operation
Your PVR receiver (PVR=Personal Video Recorder) is equipped with an integrated hard
disk drive. There is no provision for this drive to be exchanged other than by an authorised
TechniSat retailer/technician. Due to the availability of the hard drive, you no longer require
an external storage medium (e.g. a video recorder). The recording capacity is dependent on
the size of the hard drive and on the volume of data of the broadcast material.
Where these are available from the provider, the recording will include the actual audio and
video data, as well as any subtitles, videotext data and additional sound channels broadcast.
These can be called up when you play back the recording, as described in Points 7.5, 7.12
and 7.13.
8.1 Recording
Various recording modes are available for saving recordings to the hard drive.
1. Instant recording
Use this type of recording to record a currently running programme immediately, with just
one press of the key.
2. Timer-controlled recording
In the case of this function, your digital receiver will be switched on and off for the recording,
so this can be recorded in your absence. The timer can be programmed either manually or
automatically using the EPG function.
3. Timeshift recording
The timeshift recording mode makes it possible to provide timeshift television viewing. While
the programme is still being broadcast, you can already view the recording, shifted in time.
To utilise all the recording facilities of your receiver, you should ensure it is connected via two
independent antenna connections. This allows you to use the following combinations of
recording and playback:
-
-
-
Record a programme and simultaneously reproduce another programme
(1 programme in HD format and 1 programme in SD format or 2 programmes in
SD format) or a recording of your choice from the hard disc.
Simultaneously record two programmes (1 programme in DH format and
1 programme in SD format or 2 programmes in SD format) and reproduce a pre-
recorded programme. of reception.
Simultaneously record two programmes (even programmes from differing fields of
reception, 1 programme in DH format and 1 programme in SD format or
2 programmes in SD format) and simultaneously reproduce a pre-recorded
programme.
If only one antenna connection is available for connection to the receiver, only a limited
range of recording and playback options is available.
-
Record a programme and simultaneously reproduce another programme from the
same field of reception (1 programme in HD format and 1 programme in
SD format or 2 programmes in SD format) of reproduce a hard disc recording of your
choice.

menu).
2. Video recorder timer
A video recorder timer is used to switch your digital receiver on and off for the selected
programme in order to record it on an external recording unit, e.g. a video recorder, in your
absence. Please note that you must programme your video recorder to record the
programme.
If the unit was switched on by the video recorder timer, this will be indicated by “ꢀ VCR
Timer” in the display. Some of the remote control functions will be deactivated.
3. Channel-switching timer
