About the Smart Card and CA Module
To be able to receive pay-TV channels you will need a CA Mod-
ule and a Smart Card from the Service Provider of your choice.
The Service Provider is the distributor of the programmes.
If you are subscribing to services from more than one Service
Provider, you might have to change between different CA Mod-
ules and Smart Cards.
Please note, that a smart card is connected to a single Service
Provider and due to this, a specific range of channels.
Only "free" channels are available without the Smart Card.
Note:
The mains plug must
not
be plugged in before inserting
the CA module!
• Insert the CA module fully into the slot behind the lid in the
front panel of the Mediamaster so that
the arrow
on the
module faces
upwards and inwards
.
• Insert your card fully into the slot on the CA module, so that
the microchip (the yellow spot) faces
upwards
and
inwards
.
After inserting the card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not
remove it again, unless your Service Provider asks you to do so.
This is important, because if your Service Provider wants to
download new information to the Mediamaster, the card has to
be in the slot.
Please note, that the CA module and the Smart Card may give
special menus not described in this Manual.
PIN Code
The card is loaded with a 4-numbered code, also called a PIN code
(Personal Identification Number). Normally the PIN code is 0000
or 1234.
The code is essential for the future extra services offered by the
Service Provider.
