7.9.4 EPG- Channel

Your receiver provides the facility of receiving a dedicated data channel with expanded EPG information via the ASTRA satellite system at 19° East. This enables you to preview pro - grammes for up to a week in advance. If you do not wish to receive this additional data, or if it is not available at your location, data reception may be disabled as follows:

>Press the OK key to display the sub-menu EPG.

>Choose the setting Download enabled yes in order to receive the data channel, or Download enabled no in order to disable reception.

Should the parameters of the data channel used for loading the EPG list have changed, they can be corrected in this menu as described under points 7.7.3 and 7.7.4 (search for trans- ponders and programmes). Current transponder information can be obtained from your retai- ler, or from our homepage in the Internet. Under normal circumstances you should not chan- ge the settings in this menu.

7.10 System Configuration

This menu entry allows you to view all specific data relating to the receiver.

>Use the up/down arrow keys to mark this entry in the sub-menu Settings.

>Confirm with the OK key.

>Use the Back or Menu keys to exit this function.

8 Technical Terms

Antenna cable:

Cable connection between the modulator of the satellite receiver and the antenna input of the TV set, used as an alternative where no SCART connection is provided.

AV: see SCART

Coaxial cable:

Cable connection between the LNB and the satellite receiver, transmits the signals received and transmits power supply to the LNBs.

Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:

The transmission of an image in accordance with current TV standards (625 lines with a pic- ture frequency of 50 Hz) results in a digital data volume of 216 Mbit/s. This would require bandwidths not available in terrestrial or satellite systems. The data volume is thus subjected to a process of data reduction. MPEG2, which is an expanded development of MPEG1, has been set in Europe as the worldwide standard for data compression.

Deemphasis:

Making the audio frequency curve conform to the broadcast signal, this is determined by the transmission parameters of the satellite.

DiSEqC:

Digital Satellite Equipment Control - a digital control signal used to control DiSEqC-compa- tible components of the external unit via the antenna connection.

DVB:

Digital Video Broadcasting - a universal digital transmission technology for video images, graphics, sound and text, i.e. for data in any conceivable form and in every possible and appropriate quality.

External unit:

Description for the entire system mounted outdoors, consisting of the parabolic dish antenna as well as one or more LNBs, to receive signals from one or more satellites.
