Checking the receiver status
Press [RECALL] once. The channel frequency will appear on the display then disappear
after a few seconds to show the AUDIO selection (1 — 6) which will also then disappear.
Pressing [RECALL] has no effect on the settings but simply allows you to check them.
Using a Videocrypt™ Decoder
A standard "D" to SCART lead must be used to connect your SRX100/200 to an external
Videocrypt decoder. The decoder will have a “deemphasis” switch on the rear: set this
switch to give a stable picture with the “Please Insert Card” message. A smart card must
be inserted in the decoder slot before the pictures will be unscrambled.
Using a D2Mac Decoder
The SRX200 can not be guaranteed to work with every D2Mac decoder on the market so
this is intended as a brief guide. Try to see it working with your SRX200 in the shop
before you buy the decoder.
The normal PAL video output from your SRX200 comes from pin 5 of the INTERFACE
socket for connection to a Videocrypt™ decoder. A similar signal comes from pin 4 of the
INTERFACE socket for use with D2MAC decoders for some foreign channels. For these
decoders, a standard "D" to SCART lead will not work without modification unless the
decoder will accept a PAL input signal.
Modify a standard lead for your SRX200 as follows:
Remove the cover from the D plug. Locate pin 4 in the plug and cut the wire (if there is
one). Locate pin 5 and cut its wire then reconnect this wire to pin 4.
D2Mac channels are mostly scrambled using the Eurocrypt™ method and require a smart
card which is not legally available in Britain because of copyright reasons. Pirate cards
may be available but can not be relied upon and may damage your decoder.
Channel Lock facilities
The SRX100 has no lock facility.
