Specification
You can use a special antenna switch
with DiSEqC commands.
When changing channel from ASTRA
to EUTELSAT for example, a DiSEqC
command is sent with the 22KHz tone
through the antenna cable.
The antenna switch will change from
using ASTRA to EUTELSAT.
The concept of DiSEqC is a protective
trademark of EUTELSAT.

STB Connection
There are several ways of connecting the STB to your existing Audio/TV system.
We recommend using one of the following set-up for best results:
Set-up 1
TV only
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the
STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.
Finally connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB.

STB Connection
Set-up 2
With Hi Fi System
Connect an RCA/Cinch stereo cable from the AUDIO L, R sockets on the STB
to the LINE, AUX, SPARE OR EXTRA input sockets on your Hi Fi System.

STB Connection
Set-up 3
TV with VCR
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the
STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the VCR SCART connector on the
STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your VCR.
Finally connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB.

Set-up 4
TV with VCR and Motorised System (DiSEqC 1.2)
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the
STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the VCR SCART connector on
the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your VCR.
Connect one end of your coaxial cable to the LNB IN connector on the STB and
the other end to the REC or Receiver connector on the DiSEqC 1.2 motor.

Set-up 5
TV with VCR and Motorised System with Positioner
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the
STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.
Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the VCR SCART connector on
the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your VCR.
Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB of your motorised system to the LNB IN
socket on the STB.
Connect the motor cables to your positioner (please refer to the manual for your
positioner and actuator)
Connect your positioner to your TV if necessary.
Reference
DiSEqC 1.0 Connection
All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows
multiple antennas to be connected to the STB at the same time.
If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs then we recommend you
use a DiSEqC 1.0 swtich.
Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input
connector of the DiSEqC swtich.
Do the same for any other LNBs that you have.
Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RX output connector of the
DiSEqC swtich, connect the other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB.
DiSEqC 1.2 Connection
Please refer to 34 page.
Connection of satellite antenna
To the digital receiver, you can connect either a single satellite antenna
directly or LNB of multi-feed equipment.

Upgrade via Satellite and Personal Computer
To maintain the STB up-to-date, it will be possible to
upgrade the software of the STB via satellite and personal
computer. New versions of the software may include new or
improved functions for the current one.
If you want to download and upgrade the software via
satellite, first of all tune your signal to ASTRA Satellite.
When the STB switches into Presentation from Standby
or you choose the STB Upgrade menu, the STB detects
the new software.
If the new software is available, the STB will ask you
whether it downloads the software or not.
If you want to download and upgrade the software via
personal computer, visit our homepage to get more information and the new software.
