Connection and Start-up

The following section is specifically intended for the specialist dealer. You only need to read this section, if you are carrying out the installation yourself. You will find sample configurations in the section "Connection example". First, carry out all installation work before connecting the receiver to the mains power supply. Refer to the information provided in the section "Safety instructions.

Connecting receiver

Sat-IF connection
Connect the Sat-IF input of the receiver to the satellite receiving system (satellite dish). Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector for this purpose. If you need to fit the F-connector onto the cable, strip the cable insulation as shown in the diagram and slide the F-connector onto the cable, then carefully turn it clockwise until it locks.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires of the shield braid make contact with the inner conductor. This could otherwise cause a short-circuit. The quality of the reception signal depends on a good connection!
Preconditions for receiving signals
Make sure that your satellite antenna system is equipped with at least one universal LNB to facilitate digital reception in the high band range.
Presetting of receiving system
The control signals for conventional receiving systems (satellite dishes) are preset, i.e. 14/18 V for polarisation changeover and 22 kHz switching signal for LOW/HIGH band changeover on multifeed reception systems. The presetting will need to be changed in the installation menu, menu item "DiSEqC," if UFOmicro or tone burst switching matrices are used in the receiving system. Refer to the section "Installation menu, DiSEqC menu for this purpose. It is important, that you observe the operating manual for the used matrix.

LNB supply voltage

If the feed system (LNB) is powered by an external supply voltage and the LNB supply voltage is not used for switching polarity, the LNB supply of the receiver must be set to "OFF" (see section "Installation menu, LNB configuration").
TV and video recorder connection
Use a SCART cable to connect the satellite receiver (TV SCART socket) and TV set. If your TV set is equipped for stereo output, you can receive the sound in stereo via the SCART connection.

Audio connection

If you wish to reproduce the sound via a hi-fi system, connect a corresponding Cinch cable from the audio Cinch sockets on the receiver to the input sockets on your hi-fi system.

Dolby connection

The Dolby digital data stream output (AC3) is for the connection to a Dolby digital system.
Inserting batteries in the remote control
Remove the cover on the battery compartment on the underside of the remote control. Insert the two supplied batteries in the remote control. Ensure correct polarity of the batteries, the + and markings are indicated inside the battery compartment. Slide the cover back into the casing and lock it into position. Used batteries are special waste! Therefore, do not throw batteries into the household waste, but rather deposit them at a collection depot for old batteries! Electronic equipment is not household waste - in accordance with directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL of 27th January 2003 on used electrical and electronic equipment, it must be disposed of properly.

password, if one is saved. Select the menu points with the buttons.

LNB configuration

The first submenu is the "LNB configuration". Press to open this menu. Normally, you should not make any changes in this submenu. Before making any changes, however, you should make a note of the settings in the form provided at the end of this operating manual. Your receiver is set at the factory to the satellites of the ASTRA and HotBird systems. The other basic settings are shown in the illustration. Oscillator frequency L.O. Satellite receiving systems consist of the parabolic antenna (satellite dish) with the actual receiving system mounted in front of it (LNB Low Noise Block Converter or LNC - Low Noise Converter), which converts the RF signals of the satellite to a lower frequency, so it can be processed by a satellite receiver. 55
The satellite transmission frequencies are within the following ranges: 10.711.7 GHz 11.712.75 GHz Low-band ( Low-band / analogue transmission) High-band (High-band / digital transmission) (valid for ASTRA satellites at 19,2 E)
The reception frequency of the receiver, however, is in the range from 950 to 2150 MHz. The high frequencies are therefore converted with the aid of the oscillator frequency (LO frequency / LO = Local Oscillator of the LNB) to a lower frequency. Various oscillator frequencies are used for this purpose depending on the satellite frequency range and the type of system. For ASTRA and Eutelsat receiving systems, this frequency is normally 9.75 GHz (9750 MHz) for the lower frequency range (low-band) and 10.6 GHz (10600 MHz) for the upper frequency (high-band). Older receiving systems still operate in the low-band range with a 10 GHz oscillator frequency (not suitable for digital reception). The receiver generates its required frequency by subtracting the oscillator frequency from the satellite transmission frequency stored for each channel. You only need to set the respective oscillator frequencies, which your receiving system uses. Therefore, before changing the LO frequency, make sure that this is at all necessary. The oscillator frequencies listed above are factory settings. Changing the oscillator frequency Move over to the right-hand side in the LNB configuration menu by

pressing and the setting for L.O. High is highlighted in colour. Using the number buttons, you can now enter a frequency matching your system. The same also applies for the L.O. Low setting. Here, press the buttons to go to this setting.
Exit the menu by pressing 4 times. The receiver will simultaneously confirm that the values have been saved. If a setting is incorrect, the following message appears on the screen : Operation Bad or no signal Factory setting is "On." Normally, the power supply should be switched on. For communal or party systems, you must check whether the supply voltage must be switched off!
Standby Under this menu point, the supply voltage for the LNB in the receivers standby mode can be switched on and off. It can be switched off for individual and communal systems. The factory setting is "Off." Reception of two satellites If your receiver is connected to a multifeed antenna that is also aligned with the HotBird satellites for instance, you will need to change the receiver settings for the DiSEqC signal. The same, of course, also applies to other satellites (DiSEqC = Digital Satellite Equipment Control). 56
Different control signals are required for the purpose of selecting the satellite signals. To date, the LNB supply voltages 14/18 V and the 22 kHz signal (superimposed on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for signal selection in the majority of applications. With these four switching signals, it is possible to switch between horizontally and vertically polarised signals as well as between satellites (multifeed reception). However, additional control signals are now required for LNB activation and signal selection in view of the expansion of the frequency range to 12 GHz (high-band range) and for receiving more than two satellites. The "DiSEqC" control signal is responsible for this task. This signal represents a special modulation of the already existing 22 kHz signal. DiSEqC setting The precondition for this setting is that you have made no changes in the DiSEqC (UFO) set-up, refer to the section "DiSEqC UFO Set-up". When you are in the LNB configuration menu (see above), press the

Press the menu buttons menu. 22 kHz signal In this menu point you can determine whether the 22 kHz signal is to be used to switch over between the low and high frequency range of a satellite or between 2 satellite positions. Tone burst and DiSEqC signal A DiSEqC control signal is necessary if more than four control criteria are required in a receiving system. The setting option, i.e. tone burst or DiSEqC, which is required, depends on the components of the receiving system.

Short Technical Lexicon

DiSEqC DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication system between the Sat receiver (master) and the peripheral Sat components (slaves), such as LNBs, multi-switch, motorised antenna systems. This is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is always only one master in the Sat system. All activities emanate from the master. DiSEqC components When DiSEqC switching matrices are cascaded, the master receiver must send out the DiSEqC signal several times so that all DiSEqC multi-switches in the cascade receive their commands. Nowadays, DiSEqC components (slaves) must be retro-compatible, i.e. they must also respond to the analogue switching criteria of receivers which are only equipped with the control signals H/V and 22 kHz. A DiSEqC switchover matrix operates with analogue switching criteria until the DiSEqC command is received from the master. All analogue switching criteria are then ignored. DVB MPEG-2 DVB is the abbreviation for digital video broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the type of transmission (S=satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group which draws up internationally valid standards for the digital compression of video together with audio. MPEG-2 has been promoted to the standard for the compression of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 operates at a data rate of up to 100 MBit/s. Eb/No ratio The Eb/No ratio is a measure for the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital signal. This value is not identical to the C/N value as known from analogue reception technology. As a rule, reception is no longer possible at Eb/No levels below 5 dB. FEC FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The FEC error rate corresponds to the viterbirate. PID The PID number (Package Identification) is an identification number for video signals and audio signals in the digital data stream of DVB MPEG-2 signals. The receiver uses the PID number to establish distinct allocation of the video and audio data transmission. PID-PCR is the identification number for the synchronisation signal. PID-PCR is normally identical to PID video. In the case of multi-language channel transmissions, by means of manual entry of the audio PID, it is possible to allocate another language to the TV broadcast. After entering the PID, the digital receiver automatically selects audio data from the data stream identified by the PID number and allocates these data to the video signal. Programme package The programme package of a digital transponder mostly contains several TV and radio channels. Each channel package has a fixed allocation with regard to the transponder transmit frequency, the polarisation (horizontal or vertical), the symbol rate and the viterbirate or error rate. Symbol rate The symbol rate describes the amount of data transmitted per second. 75
