2. Putting It All Together

This section describes the basic connections you need to operate your set-top
box. Your HDS-600RS rear panel has connections for many types of audio
and video equipment as well as two dish inputs. In particular, there are
connections for two types of video output:

 TVs with HDMI input

 TVs and videos with SCART connectors

There are also connections for two types of audio output and USB ports for
connecting memory sticks.

Satellite Inputs

The HDS-600RS is designed to use two satellite LNB inputs. It will operate
with a single input but many of the advanced functions will not be available. If

you intend to use a single input ensure that is connected to LNB1 (see
page 8). We strongly advise that two feeds are connected.

Your satellite dish should be aligned to the Astra 2 satellite at 28.2…E.

Connecting to the Internet

The HDS-600RS is designed to work with a wired Ethernet connection. If your
router is not in the same room as your HDS600RS you can used a pair of
‘Power-line’ devices (for example: Sling Link, see www.myechostar.com for
details) which use the home electrical wiring to carry the Ethernet signal.

Before connecting an Ethernet cable to the HDS600RS, unplug the HDS­600RS from the mains. With the connection to your router in place, reconnect
your HDS-600RS to the mains. It may take the HDS-600RS a few minutes to
start up the first time once connected to a router – thereafter it should start up
quickly.

To check your internet connection, see page 42.

11

Remote Control

1. Remove the wrapping from the two AAA batteries supplied with the unit.

2. Turn the remote control over. Open the battery cover by pressing down on

the symbol and pushing the cover (as shown below).

3. Slide the two AAA size batteries into the compartment so that ‘+’ and ’-‘
marks on the batteries and inside the remote control match up.

4. Replace the battery cover.

The unit displays a warning message on screen when the batteries need
replacing. Also, the LED on the remote will make an additional flash after a
button has been released.

Tip. When changing the batteries, remove the cover and gently tap the remote
into the palm of you hand and the batteries should drop out.

12

HDMI-TV Connections

3. Getting Started

Before you switch on the power to your HDS-600RS, check the following:

 Have you put batteries in the remote control (see page 11)?

 Is the unit connected correctly (see page 10)?

 Is the TV switched on?

Switching on for the First Time

Press (On/Standby button) either on the remote or on the front of the unit.

Please be patient - the HDS-600RS may take up to a minute to initialise.

When you switch on your HDS-600RS for the first time, the Setup Wizard is
displayed. This will guide you through the process of setting up your satellite
signal and detecting freesat channels.

During this procedure, use the arrow keys (either on the remote or the front of
the unit) to highlight the option you want and press the OK button to select it.

Press OK to start the installation process.

16

STEP 1: Enter your Postcode

1. Using the numbered buttons on the remote*, enter your postcode. The
HDS-600RS needs your postcode to be able to download programme
information relevant to your area.

2. If you make a mistake, press the RED button to delete the last character
you entered.

3. When you’ve entered a valid postcode, you’ll be prompted to press the

BLUE button to continue. Check that the postcode is correct before you do
so.

*This method of text input is called SMS (Short Message Service): the same
system used to enter text messages on mobile phones. Each key represents 3
or 4 characters. For example, the “2” key represents a, b, c and 2. To enter a
b character, you would press the “2” key twice. To enter a number 2, you
would press the key four times. If you need two successive characters that are
on the same key, enter the first one, then pause for a few seconds before
entering the second one. So, to type b2, you would press the “2” key twice,
pause, and then press the “2” key a further four times.

17

STEP 2: Set the PIN (optional)

The unit now gives you the option to set a PIN code to restrict the viewing of
any programmes broadcast or recorded with parental guidance advice. Before
a user can view these programmes, they will need to enter the PIN code.

Tip. You don’t have to worry about setting the PIN now, you can change it or
turn this feature off at any time through the Settings menu (see page 50). If
you prefer to Set Pin Protection later, just press the BLUE button to continue
to Step 3.

1. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to choose the required option:

 No PIN Protection

 Set PIN Protection

2. Press OK to accept.

3. If you select Set PIN Protection, use the numbered buttons on the remote
to enter a PIN number.

4. Press the BLUE button to save the PIN.

Tip. If you don’t enter a PIN, the unit will use the default code “0000”. If you
have forgotten your PIN, see page 50.

18

STEP 3: Search for Services

The HDS-600RS starts a search for channels and compiles a list of the TV and
radio services it has found. A bar at the bottom of the screen shows the
progress of the tuning process.

About freesat

freesat offers over 140 digital satellite TV and radio channels including BBC
and ITV HD channels. It is a subscription-free service with channels and
services being added all the time. If you have a broadband connection, you
can also access BBC iPlayer.

For more information, and a complete list of channels, visit:

http://www.freesat.co.uk/

19

STEP 4: Watching TV

If the HDS-600RS has successfully completed its search for channels the
screen shown above is displayed (if this is not the case, see Tuner Issues on
the next page).

Press OK to watch TV. The unit will show the first channel in its list of detected
channels.

All done!

 To learn how to set up the remote for use with your TV, go to page 23.

 To find out how to make recordings, go to page 29.

 To read about the Programme Guide, go to page 32.

 To explore TV anywhere, go to page 43.

20

Tuner Issues

Your HDS-600RS will display one of the following screens if it discovers a
problem with your satellite reception:

One input OK, problem with other input (in this example, LNB2):

Problem with both inputs:

21

If you see one of these screens, check your satellite input connections.

The unit offers you some or all of the following options:

 Press the RED button to run the wizard again. Choose this option if

you have found and rectified a problem with your satellite connections.
If you have not identified the cause of the problem yet, press the
BLUE button (see Checking the Signals on the next page).

 Press the GREEN button if you have only connected a single input

from your dish and this has been detected successfully by the unit
(see Single Tuner Mode, below).

 Press the BLUE button to check your input signals (see Checking the

Signals on the next page).

Single Tuner Mode

If you have only connected a single input from your dish, and it has been
detected successfully by the unit, press the GREEN button to set the unit to

Single Tuner Mode.

Note. Functionality will be limited if only one signal used. We strongly advise

that 2 feeds are connected. If you do use a single feed, ensure you have
connected it to LNB1 – see page 8.

Note. If your satellite dish only has a single LNB do not attempt to split this to
create two inputs for the HDS-600RS. This approach does not work. You will
need to install a multiple-LNB.

Upgrading from Single Tuner Mode

If you upgrade your satellite receiver from a single to a dual system, you will
need to perform a factory reset to allow the unit’s second tuner to operate (see
page 52). This action will delete your timed recording schedules but will not
delete existing recordings.

22

Checking the Signals

To check the signal strength after running the wizard, press the BLUE button.

The signal check page shows two spots on the screen, indicating the signal
status on each of the inputs. A RED spot indicates a connection problem; a
GREEN spot shows that the connection is acceptable.

Press the BLUE button again to see more information about signal strength on
the two feeds. Make a note of this information if you need to contact your
installer about a problem with your signal feeds.

23

Controlling your TV

The HDS-600RS remote control has a number of buttons that can be used to
control your TV. These are:

TV

TV AV

Volume up/down Mute TV On/Standby TV source

To be able to use these buttons, your HDS-600RS remote needs to ‘learn’ the
appropriate codes from your TV’s remote (you could also program the remote
with the appropriate control codes for your TV - see page 57).

To capture the control codes from your TV’s remote control:

1. Position the HDS-600RS remote and the TV remote facing each other, on

a level surface, 10cm apart.

3. On the HDS-600RS remote, press the key you want to programme, for
example Volume +.

4. On the TV remote, press and hold the corresponding key (in this case,
Volume +). The Main Menu button flashes; when it stops release the
remote key.

5. The HDS-600RS remote has now learned the code for this function.

6. Repeat the procedure (from step 3) for the other keys you want to
programme.

7. When you have finished, press the OK key.

8. The Main Menu button will flash rapidly 10 times to confirm programming is

Creating a Favourites List

freesat provides you with access to

over 140 TV channels. Finding your
usual viewing channels in the full
listing can therefore be difficult and

the Favourites feature is turned
off and the lists are named
Favourites 1, 2, 3 or 4.

4. Press the OK button.

If the list has been set up, the unit
enables it for channel selection. If
the list is empty, a status message
is displayed; press the OK button
again to continue.

You will require an unrestricted internet connection (upload from HDS­600RS) of at least 150kbps to watch on a mobile phone or 256kbps for a
PC or MAC. These are the minimum specifications: higher bit rates will
result in a better picture quality.

2. Set up your Sling account on a PC or MAC (see Creating a Sling

Account, below).

3. Log in to your Sling account and access your HDS-600RS (see Using

SlingPlayer, below)

Creating A Sling Account

2. Log in to your account (see Creating A Sling Account, above).

3. Click on Watch.

4. Click on your HDS-600RS and enter the unit’s password (see page 44).

Should you require them, your default SlingPlayer password is 'admin',
and your default PIN on the HDS-600RS is '0000'. The same PIN is used
for parental controls (see page 50).

Your HDS-600RS can be updated in three ways:

 Automatically, over the air via the satellite signal.

 Automatically, over your internet connection.

 Manually: download the update from www.myechostar.com/support,

saving it onto a memory stick and then applying it yourself.

Over the Air Updates

Over the Air (OTA) updates, with new channel and transmission information,
are provided by freesat from time to time. The HDS-600RS receives these
automatically. A pop-up message will be displayed on screen whenever an
update has occurred.

Automatic Software Updates

If a new version of the HDS-600RS software is available, a pop-up message is
displayed on screen. Follow the instructions to download and install the update
(requires an active internet connection).

Manual Software Update

To manually update your HDS-600RS:

1. Visit www.myechostar.com/support. Follow the on-screen instructions to

download the latest software update to your PC.

2. Copy the update file to an empty USB memory stick.

3. Insert the USB memory stick into either the front or rear USB ports (see

page 8). The screen displays a message confirming that the USB memory
stick has been detected and showing the version number of the software
update.

4. The HDS-600RS will reset and the front panel then displays “Loading…”

followed by “Please wait”.

5. The updating process may take up to 5 minutes. When it is complete, the

Welcome screen is displayed. Set up your HDS-600RS as described
previously (see page 15).

Poor picture or sound quality

- Ensure that the satellite dish is installed correctly (away from trees or other

obstacles) and is providing a good quality signal (see page 20).

- Picture quality may be temporarily affected by bad weather (heavy rain, snow).

Check the signal level coming from your dish (see page 20).

- If you have poor signal strength you may wish to consider changing the satellite

dish for a larger one as this will increase the signal levels received.

- Check the LNB for damage as moisture inside the LNB will affect signal strength

55

and quality.
Note. Newer LNBs will have a lower noise factor which will improve noise reduction.

- Check that the satellite input cables are connected properly.

- Try another channel; the problem may be due to a transmission fault.

The remote control doesn’t work

- Does the Main Menu button light up on the remote when you press any buttons on

the remote?

- Ensure that you are holding the remote control correctly with the lens at the top of

the control pointing at the HDS-600RS.

- Ensure that the receiver on the HDS-600RS is not covered by, for example, papers

and that the remote is within range.

- Check that the batteries have charge and are in good condition. Try removing and

replacing the batteries making sure they are inserted in the correct orientation.

- Replace the batteries with a new set.

The remote doesn’t control the TV or change the volume

- You need to ensure your remote control is set-up correctly to control your TV. – see

page 11. This will be necessary whenever you change the batteries.

The HDS-600RS didn’t record a programme

- Check that both antenna cables are connected.

- Check that your hard disk has sufficient space for further recordings (see page 38).

To make space, delete some old recordings that you have already viewed.

- The unit should tell you if your scheduled recordings use more resources than the

product can support – check the scheduled recording (see page 40) and make
changes if necessary.

- Did the unit have power when the programme is scheduled to be transmitted? The

HDS-600RS will wake from standby to record a programme but it must have power
to be able to do this.

iPlayer isn’t available

- Check that your HDS-600RS is connected to your router and that the Ethernet

cables are firmly inserted at both ends.

- Check there is a broadband connection available (see page 42). Can you access

the Internet from other devices?
