1. Installation guide
1.1 Connection
1.1.1 Connection to the satellite antenna
In a single-party reception installation, the digital receiver is connected directly to the Universal LNB
mounted on the satellite antenna, by means of a coaxial cable. An F-connector must be mounted on the
end of this coaxial cable.
This must be connected to the “LNB IN” connector of the receiver while the receiver is switched off. In the
case of a multi-party installation, the coaxial cable will be connected to a multi-switch.
1.1.2 Connection to the TV set
Digital receivers and TV sets are usually connected by means of a SCART cable. Simply connect the two
ends of the cable with the main socket on the TV set and with the TV socket on the receiver, respectively.
The SCART connection ensures that audio and video signals are transmitted to the TV set in optimum
quality.
If your TV set is not equipped with a SCART socket: the receiver is also optionally obtainable fitted with
a built-in HF modulator. In this case, use an antenna (coaxial) cable to connect the HF output of the receiver
(socket “RF OUT“) with the antenna input socket of the TV set. The digital TV programme currently being
received is converted in the receiver to a UHF channel (channel selectable via the installation menu), and
is transmitted to the TV set via the antenna cable. The antenna cable previously connected to the TV set
should now be connected to the HF input socket of the receiver (socket “ANT IN“). In this way, the terrestrial
antenna connection is looped through the receiver.
If you also have a video recorder connected to the terrestrial antenna cable, this terrestrial antenna
connection should run first from the receiver to the video recorder, and only from there to the TV set. As
in this case the audio and video signals have to be modulated for high-frequency transmission on a UHF
channel, signal quality is not as good compared to a connection with a SCART cable.
1.1.3 Connection to a video recorder
Just as the TV set, the video recorder is connected to the receiver via a SCART connection. Use the “VCR
SCART” socket for this purpose.
1.1.4 Connection to a hi-fi system
The audio quality of digital TV and radio programmes can be enjoyed even more when reproduced through
a hi-fi system. To do this, use a RCA cinch stereo cable to connect the sockets marked “Audio L/R” on
the receiver to one of the inputs of your hi-fi system marked either “Line”, “Aux”, “Spare” or “Extra”.
If your hi-fi system is equipped with a digital audio input facility, you may use a digital RCA cinch cable
to connect the electrical audio digital output of your receiver (socket DIGITAL AUDIO COAX) to your hi-fi
or Dolby Digital system.
