INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Introduction

There are several ways of connecting the STU to an existing
entertainment system.

The following more common examples enable you to view satellite
services and terrestrial channels, record and playback from a
VCR and listen to CD quality stereo sound on a Hi-Fi.

Consult FOXTEL for assistance in setting up an audio/video
configuration best suited to your requirements.

Hints to Quality TV System Configurations

Where possible, connect cables via audio/video outputs/
inputs (SCART or AV) instead of RF connectors.

Use an appropriate, correctly installed satellite dish system.

Use high quality stereo TV and Hi-Fi equipment.

Use high quality screened cables.

NOTE:

When Video and Audio connectors (AV) are used,
it may  be necessary to select a Video mode (AV)
on the VCR and TV  in place of a TV mode.

STU, TV (using SCART or RF Interface)

NOTE:

As the LNB connection cable carries a small
voltage on its centre connector, it is
recommended that the mains supply to the
STU is switched off before connecting or
disconnecting the LNB cable.

1

Connect the terrestrial antenna connector to the RF IN socket
 on the STU.

The following instruction applies if your TV has a SCART
connector.

2

If using a SCART-to-SCART cable (not supplied), connect
theTV SCART socket on the STU to the SCART socket on the
TV.

OR

Using a SCART to RCA connector (not supplied), connect the
TV SCART to the A V connectors on your TV. If only one audio
socket is available on your TV, the mono audio connector
should be used.

3

If required, use an RF signal flylead to connect the RF OUT
socket on the STU to the RF IN socket on the TV.

4

Connect the coaxial cable connector from the LNB on the
satellite dish into the socket marked LNB IN on the STU. The
connector on the coaxial cable should be turned until it is finger
tight.

5

If your TV has a S Video connector, connect to S VHS
connector on the decoder. Also, connect Mono Audio on
decoder to Audio In on the TV, or variable audio if you have a
stereo TV.
