Introduction
This manual will help you learn the basic use of your receiver such as installation,
selecting channels and many other functions of the set top box.

“Satellite Dish Installation Guide”

4.2 Receiver Installation
4.2.1 Connecting your Receiver
Having completed the assembly and erection of your dish connect the satellite cable from
your dish to the LNB IN terminal on your receiver and your HDMI lead from the rear of your
receiver to an available socket on your TV or AV Ampli
fi
er. If you are not using an HD
compatible TV then you will need to connect to your TV using a SCART lead and optionally
the Optical Audio Out to an AV Ampli
fi
er. If you are using the HDMI socket then you only
need to connect this as it feeds both high quality audio and video to your TV. Finally, plug
your Receiver mains plug into a wall socket but
do not
switch it on yet.
4.2.2 Preparing your Remote Control
Your Remote Control requires 2 x AAA (LR03) batteries to operate. Open the cover on the
rear of the Remote Control by sliding it downwards and insert two batteries taking care to
observe the polarity markings inside the compartment.
4.2.3 TV Format Set-Up
You are now ready to switch on and adjust your dish to complete alignment (for this refer
to the separate instructions). Turn on your TV and your Satellite Receiver (both at the wall
socket and on the rear of the unit). Proceed as follows:–
•
Press the POWER button on your Remote Control or the STANDBY Button on the Front
Panel of the Receiver to turn the unit on.
•
If you get a ‘Mode not supported’ message on your TV - You need to alter the Receiver
resolution to match the resolution of your TV – The factory default is 720p.
The Resolution is changed by pressing the ‘V Format’ button on your remote control.
Adjust between 480, 576, 720 and 1080i TV Resolutions as required. 1080i is the
highest available resolution for HD channel reception.
•
Make sure your TV source is set to receive the signal from your Receiver.
NOTE:
If you are using this Receiver in conjunction with a pre-installed dish which is
already aligned to ASTRA/EURO1 then after the unit has powered up you will see “NO
CHANNEL” being displayed. At this point press the “OK” button and your Channel list
should be displayed showing all the programmes that were loaded onto the receiver during
manufacture. Your Receiver is now ready to use.
