Daily and weekly repeated switch-on

Receiver operation

If the programmed recording time has ended the following message appears:

	Press the “0”, key if you want the receiver to return to normal operation, otherwise
	the unit switches off after 5 minutes.
	The programme number in the timer menu is set to “00“.
Attention	If the timer is programmed for a recording, the unit may no longer be switched off
	via the mains switch or else it must be switched on again in good time prior to the
	scheduled time of recording. Both the time and the timer settings are maintained
	even if the mains is disconnected.
Tip	When specifying switch-on and switch-off times, add some leeway to the times so
	that the entire broadcast will still be recorded even if programmes are shifted
	slightly.

This receiver also allows an optional daily or weekly repeated switch-on..

Daily repeated switch-on

∙Enter “00.00“ in the Date column, and also the switch-on and switch-off times.

Weekly repeated switch-on

∙Enter the relevant date of the first switch-on day in the Date column, and for the month enter “00“.

Example:

12.00: the timer is activated for the first time on the 12th day of the month and weekly thereafter.

Video recorder playback (VCR)

For playback from the video recorder the satellite receiver does not need to be switched on. Standby mode is sufficient to ensure the signal path is switched through from the VCR Scart socket to the TV Scart socket.

On playback from the video recorder the LED display shows:

-with the receiver switched on-	VCR
-in standby mode-	- VCR

On playback from the video recorder, you have the possibility of a brief switchover to satellite reception, in order to check the start of a broadcast, for example, without needing to switch off the video recorder.

Press the key for this.

If you press the key once again, each key-press then switches the TV picture in the following order:

- VCR playback→ Sat mode → TV mode.

Switching back to last programme (swapping)

With the (last) key you can switch back to the previously selected programme and, by a further pressing, switch back again. If you changed programme using the

keys , the programme needs to have been set for at least 10 seconds in order for it to switch back to this programme slot. Otherwise it switches back to the pro- gramme slot last selected with the programme keys.
