Using your Viasat box
Installation
❖
Switching on for the first time
When you connect your box to the mains, your box’s front panel lights go through a start-up
sequence. After about 20 seconds, your box is switched on and out of standby, and the standby light
is green.
◆
Make sure your TV is switched on.
If the Welcome screen below displays, your TV is ready for digital satellite channels.
You can now continue the installation by turning to the section ‘Making the installation settings’ on
page 15.
If the Welcome screen does not display...
If you have connected your box to your TV (and VCR) via SCART leads, try selecting your TV’s ‘AV
input’.
If you have connected your box to your TV (and VCR) via RF leads only, you need to tune a ‘channel
for satellite TV’ (see ‘RF Tuning’ on page 15).
Caution
Your box operates with 230V AC, 50Hz mains supplies.
Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the other. You
should always insert the 2-way connector into your box
before
you insert the plug into the mains
supply.
The only way to disconnect your box from the mains is to remove the mains lead. Your box must
therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a competent electrician.
Note
If you have a VCR connected to your box via an RF lead (as in connection method 1), to be able to
record satellite programmes, you may need to perform RF tuning for your VCR - see page 15.
