A versatile and future-proof digital receiver Built-in thermostat controlled fan Watchdog (can be de-activated) automatically restarts the receiver after a power cut or other error. Card reader for NDS coding system (embedded). Supplied with or without built-in professional A2 modulator. Can be fitted with an external Nicam encoder. Adjustable audio level. Easy to install in small spaces. Important! Digital signals put great demands on the equipment s LNB. Using an old LNB can result in frozen pictures or text. Install a new microwave head to avoid problems. Before the receiver can display a picture the programme card must be paired to the receiver. REMEMBER! Never open the receiver Place the receiver in a ventilated room The receiver must not be exposed to liquids Menu options and their appearance might be changed in future software Always carry out a new channel search after downloading new software Make sure that the power cable is easily accessible in case the power supply to the receiver has to be switched off The latest software and information can be downloaded from www.macab.com/helpdesk Download Innehåll... 2 Front... 3 Back... 4 Smartcard... 5 Knappar för programmering... 6 Menu overview... 7 Programmering... 8 12 Information menu...13 17 PID setting... 18 Error log... 19 Technical data... 20 Built-in modulator... 21 Broadband amplifier... 22 Frequency CCIR...23 2
