GB 13
If you have a single satellite dish equipped with 2 LNBs,
or two dishes with one LNB on each, and want to watch
channels from ASTRA and HOTBIRD:
In the “Antenna Configuration” menu you should find the alter-
native “One Antenna / 2 LNB:s for ASTRA / HOTBIRD”. If you
want to watch channels from these satellites, you will have to
make the following arrangements first.
Connection of the DiSEqC switch:
Connect the cable from the LNB intended for watching channels
from ASTRA to the connector marked LNB 1 on the switch.
Connect the cable from the LNB intended for watching channels
from HOTBIRD to the connector marked LNB 2 on the switch.
Connect the antenna cable to the connector marked Receiver
OUT on the switch. Connect the other end of this cable to the
antenna input marked LNB on the rear of the Mediamaster.
NOTE! Be aware of which LNB is connected to which input
on the switch! ASTRA must be connected to input 1 on the
switch, and HOTBIRD to input 2 for 9600 S.
For 9200 S is the choice HOTBIRD (1) / ASTRA (2).
After completing these connections, you can proceed from the
“One Antenna / 2 LNB:s for ASTRA / HOTBIRD” line in the menu.
Pressing the
OK
button will result in the menu illustrated to the
right coming up on the screen.
From the menu, select ASTRA on the first line, and the appropri-
ate LNB for it on the second line.
Do the same for HOTBIRD.
If everything is correctly configured and the dish(es) are pointing
towards ASTRA/HOTBIRD, you should have programme informa-
tion in the background, from ASTRA and HOTBIRD respectively.
If not, you have to adjust the dish(es) or LNB(s) until you receive
picture and sound.
Press the
OK
button to start the Channel Search for download-
ing channels as described on the previous page.
IMPORTANT!
If you have a combination which consists of more than 1
LNB and/or more than one dish, you must connect the
LNB:s to an external switch. Once installed and configured,
the switch automatically performs the choice of correct
LNB to the desired programme channel.
This external switch is better known as a
DiSEqC
TM
switch
(Level 1 or 2 type). The DiSEqC switch can be located
close
to the LNBs
, which then means you only need
one
cable
down to the Mediamaster.
The following description will explain how to install the
switch.
2 way DiSEqC™ switch.
(Could also be a 4 way
switch. See next page).
