To start up just inserting the included batteries into the remote control and the plugging of the stand is necessary. This engages itself in its plastic guide screws are not necessary. With this configuration, you can now already watch DVDs that are inserted on the right narrow side into a slot, similar to CDs in the car radio. The control is of course on the device's remote control and is no different from an external DVD player. As usual with these devices, of course, MP3 files can be played.
To receive a TV program every three standard procedures are implemented.
- A TV-cable, you can connect a satellite dish
- To an antenna input can be a standard antenna plug, is possible with the DVB-T reception
- The antenna input and an existing cable is wired.
Satellite dish and antenna are also usable.
I have first an old (reinforced) indoor antenna connected and actuated the option to search DVB-T channels and had to my surprise, after a short time the complete range to choose from. (With an older small appliance by ALDI that never works) So I had the "little ones" ever to my heart.
That's why I tried immediately from the satellite connection. Now I must mention that I had chosen the first purchase my system for a "Multytenne" of Technisat, which has all the charm, with a tiny bowl to receive 4 different satellites simultaneously and I was curious to see how the small Telefunken could handle it. He has done the job with flying colors. On the one hand it has stored from home a long list of around orbiting satellites from which I "my" 4 could pick a click me just after I had informed the configuration a DiSEqC connection. Now I had to start only for each satellite a search, where you have to apply a few minutes patience. After that I had but saved more than a thousand TV channels and radio stations in my list, all (well, the one I use) so perfectly worked, as I'm used to it by Technisat Original receiver.
You can filter the channel list according to various criteria, such as satellites, favorites, etc.
Concomitantly obtained also a nice program list for channels that provide the disposal. In my Technisat I have the desired station into configure there, here they are all naturally present. Cable channels, I can not try, but these two techniques described have very convincing. A slot for a CI Plus module for HD satellite programs is also already installed.
The picture is for my needs (and for the purpose) outstanding as you would expect from a Full HD - can expect resolution, the colors are inconspicuous normal, you can of course as the "big" play to all controllers, if you want, and use pre-configured color settings or himself the RGB components vary when you hold it because of the difficulty value.
Apart from the usual TV reception capabilities, the device offers a number of inputs for PC, laptop, cameras, as well as a modern HDMI input. A USB connection can not missing and can be equipped with sticks and hard drive. A media player is available in the device, the .mpg and .vob - Files is happening, but also mkv, avi and flv - files, as they are often provided by digital cameras in H.264 HD format. Even a SCART input has not been forgotten, so that the old Betamax from the basement could be honored again. For such a little "aside" device that is an incredible facilities in my opinion.
The only thing you could complain a little, is the sound, which at the small, narrow enclosure of course painful lack bass. One can not stop even a hi-fi speakers hide it. But it is also not a big problem to remedy. About a coaxial output can be connected an amplifier, even easier, it is a sound bar or one of the newer small boxes as XORO Hxs etc. to connect a small mini-plug cable to the headphone output. Which one is invisible behind the screen and has a great sound to film.
For this product, I give with a clear conscience full 5 stars.
