Receiver
5.1
Prerequisites and Ambient Conditions
NOTE:
Keep the receiver well away from sources of heat and locations where it might be
subjected to bright sunlight.
Route all cabling such that it will not become damaged by, e.g., sharp edges.
Connect the receiver to a 230 VAC (
±
10%), 50 Hz, electrical outlet.
The antenna assembly should have been installed and aligned in accordance with its manufacturer’s
instructions.
All information needed for programming the receiver’s digital section should be readily available:
−
the local time zone (the departure from CET, or GMT in the UK and Ireland),
−
whether standard time or daylight-savings time is currently in effect
−
the aspect ratio of the television set to be employed
−
the LNB local-oscillator frequency that applies to your locality (which must be entered into the field
entitled “LNB Local Freq.”)
−
if the receiver is to be manually programmed, the channel frequencies and symbol rates for the
channels to be programmed (available from satellite-television magazines or dealers).
The receiver consists of an analog section (analog receiver) and a digital section (digital receiver).
The analog receiver is ready for immediate use, since it has been preprogrammed at the factory.
However, you may make any changes that may be necessary by following the programming instructions
to be given below.
The digital receiver, on the other hand, must be programmed by users prior to use in accordance with the
instructions to be given below.

Connecting the Receiver to the Satellite Antenna and Other Equipment
The receiver may be operated with either a single satellite antenna or a pair of satellite antennae. You
will have to manually set the receiver to either single-antenna or dual-antennae mode, depending upon
whether you will be connecting it to one satellite antenna or a pair of satellite antennae using one or two
(coaxial) antenna cables, respectively. To perform this setting, proceed as follows:
NOTE:
Before proceeding, correctly connect the receiver to the video recorder, television
set, any further (analog) receivers to be employed, and then to an electrical outlet.
•
Press the blue DVB-key on the remote control. The red indicator lamp (LED) on
the remote control will briefly illuminate.
•
Press the A/D-key on the remote control and hold it depressed for 3 seconds,
which will switch the receiver to standby mode..
•
Use the
t
or
u
keys to select either SING (single-antenna mode) or DUAL
(dual-antennae mode).
•
Press the ON/OFF key.
•
If the receiver is to be operated in single-antenna mode, use the coaxial cable
supplied with the receiver to interconnect the “IF OUTPUT DIGITAL“ and “IF
INPUT ANALOG“ jacks on its rear panel (cf. Section 5.2.1, below).
