IN STALLATIO N O F SATELLITE RECEIVER  
A correctly installed satellite antenna is essential for the receiver to operate.  
The satellite antenna coaxial cable must be long enough to reach the desired receiver  
site.  
Install the receiver near your television set, making sure to leave ventilation space of about  
15 cm to the sides and above the receiver. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots of the  
receiver.  
You can install the receiver according to the following example :  
Satellite antenna

- Do n o t y e t co n n e ct the set to the mains.  
- Plug F must be correctly installed on the coaxial cable of the LNB. Remove the cable  
sheath, fold back the braid (ensure that the central strand of the cable does not touch the  
braid, to avoid a short circuit), and manually turn the plug to tighten it on the coaxial  
cable.

IN STALLATIO N O F SATELLITE RECEIVER  
- Connect the LNB coaxial cable to Socket IF INPUT A.  
- You can, if applicable, connect a second LNB to IF INPUT B connector . Plug F must be  
tightened by hand on the threading of the plug. Do not use any tools. Take care not to jam  
the plug.  
- You can now connect your equipment to the mains power supply. To do this, connect one of  
the ends of the mains cable to connector on the receiver and the other end to a mains  
socket.  
Our description of the receiver assumes that the set has been installed according to  
instructions!  
1 . Co n n e ctio n to a Te le visio n Se t :  
- Using a SCART cable (supplied), connect the Socket TV-SCART of your receiver to the  
SCART socket of your Television Set. This connection provides optimum picture and sound  
quality.  
2 . Co n n e ctio n to a VCR :  
- Using a SCART cable (not supplied), connect the Socket VCR-SCART of your receiver  
to the SCART socket of your VCR.  
The equipment is operated using a cascade connection.  
The video recorder images will be transmitted to the TV through the TV SCART connector  
if the video recorder supplies the control voltage when it is in read mode (12V on pin  
8 of the VCR SCART connector ).  
3 . Co n n e ctio n to a d e co d e r  
Using a SCART cable (not supplied), connect the Socket DECODER-SCART of your  
receiver to the SCART socket of your decoder.  
4 . Co n n e ctio n to a ste re o sy ste m :  
Your satellite receiver can be connected to a stereo system using the CINCH connectors .

RECO RDIN G SATELLITE PRO GRAMMES  
If your receiver is connected to a VCR, you can record satellite programmes. Paragraph  
2 : Connection to a VCR in the INSTALLATION OF SATELLITE RECEIVER chapter of the  
present manual describes the procedure for connecting the VCR to the receiver.  
Refer also to your VCR user manual.  
On your satellite receiver, select the channel you wish to record, then, on the VCR, select  
the programme number assigned to the satellite receiver (e.g. AV) and begin recording.  
To avoid recording a different programme or nothing at all, do not change satellite  
channel or switch off the receiver before recording is complete. You may, however,  
change channels on your television set. This does not affect the recording.  
If you wish to record a satellite programme during your absence, select the desired  
channel on the receiver, and programme the recording start and stop times on your VCR.  
You can leave the satellite receiver on without any problem.

PRO GRAMMIN G A N EW CHAN N EL  
Your receiver is already programmed to receive the most important satellite signals. You  
can, however, change the programming or add new channels at any time.  
To store a new channel in memory, you need the following information (found in specialist  
satellite TV magazines):  
1. LNB selection  
and ToneBurst signal  
2. Polarisation  
3. Video frequency  
4. Audio mode  
5. Audio frequency  
First, select the programme number you wish to assign to the new channel, and then follow  
the instructions.  
1 . Se le ctio n o f LN B a n d o f To n e Bu rst sig n a l  
You can connect 2 LNBs to your receiver (e.g. ASTRA and EUTELSAT II-F1 satellites).  
Connect the LNBs respectively to connectors and (IF INPUT A/ B). In addition, your  
receiver can supply ToneBurst (DiSEqC) control signals. This function allows connecting 4  
LNBs to your receiver. The LNBs must be connected in 2s to each of the IF INPUTs and  
, through a ToneBurst switch.

The value displayed on your receiver is not the frequency of the channel; it corresponds  
to the difference between the channel frequency and the local oscillator frequency of your  
LNB.  
You can enter the desired frequency directly (4 digits) via the 0-9 numeric keypad, or  
change the displayed value in steps of 1 MHz using the VOL + and VOL - keys.  
Values outside the 700-2150 MHz band are not accepted.
