Dear customer,

congratulations on your decision to purchase the TechniSat

DIGIT MF4-K digital receiver.

The operating manual you are reading is designed to help you

gain optimum use and enjoyment from the comprehensive

functions of your new digital receiver.

We have designed the operating manual to be as comprehen-

sive as necessary, and as simple as possible.

The range of functions of your receiver is constantly being

expanded, and software updates are available for this. This

may occasionally mean that operating steps are added which

are not described in this manual, or there may be changes to

functions already included. We therefore recommend that you

occasionally visit the TechniSat homepage in the Internet,

from where you can download the current version of the ope-

rating manual.

We wish you many years of listening and viewing pleasure

with your TechniSat DIGIT MF4-K!

Your

TechniSat Team

Important operating instructions

Operation of the digital receiver is simplified by the use of so-

called "On Screen Displays", this also serves to reduce the

number of keys required on the remote control unit. All func-

tions are displayed on the screen, and can be operated with a

few keys. Related functions are combined in a "MENU". The

function selected is highlighted in colour. The “function keys”

red, yellow, green and blue are displayed along the bottom of

the screen in the shape of coloured bars. These coloured

bars represent different functions in the individual menues,

which can be implemented by pressing the

appropriate coloured key (“multi-function key”) on the remote

control. The “function keys” are only active when a brief des-

cription is displayed in the appropriate field.

Key descriptions and terms that appear on the OSD menu

are printed bold in this operating manual.

Help:

Where available in the menues, pressing the blue function

key will cause a help text to be displayed, pressing again will

remove the text from the screen.
