7. Connecting the satellite antenna

In order to check the correctness of connection of external equipment, for example a satellite antenna or converter, read the installation manual or hire a professional technician!

Good reception is conditional on the precise placement of the antenna. Even the best antenna will cause reception problems if it is incorrectly adjusted. Even slight placement errors may render reception impossible or considerably impair image/sound quality. Before installation make sure that the location is suitable. The proper direction may be initially determined by making a comparison with other antennas. There should be no objects directly in front of the antenna, for these may block the signal from reaching the bowl! Once you select an optimal location for the antenna, fix and adjust it initially, and then proceed to a precise adjustment. Each antenna is fitted with regulating screws that

make it possible to correct its vertical and horizontal placement.

Adjusting is somewhat more difficult in the case of digital tuners. You cannot perform adjustments on the basis of the image, because this appears with a certain delay. What is more, the indicators available in the settings menu also act with a delay, and therefore adjustment may take considerable time and be very imprecise. An antenna signal meter will be indispensable for setting up the antenna. The meter must be connected to the antenna cable between the converter and the receiver. This will confirm the presence of a voltage that switches the converter from the tuner and show the signal strength for individual satellites. We strongly recommend hiring a professional technician!

8. Connecting an antenna system with a positioner

USALS type positioners manufactured by Stab will guarantee the correct operation of your Ferguson receiver. In order to connect an antenna system to a USALS positioner, you should connect the positioner out to the LNB IN of the Ferguson receiver. The role of the positioner installed between the mast and the antenna is to turn the bowl in such a way as to ensure that it is directed to various satellite positions. The positioner is built in such a way that its axis of revolution is parallel to the direction towards the North Star. For this reason, its mounting is frequently termed the Polar mount. In consequence, when the satellite changes position, it is not necessary to adjust the azimuth and elevation independently. The antenna revolves only in one axis. Using the introduced scale, the motor inclines in such a way as to ensure the appropriate placement of the axis of revolution. The angle of inclination corresponds to the latitude of the location where the antenna is installed. As in the case of a fixed antenna, the angle of elevation of the bowl must first be set. For this purpose, use is made of a satellite located as close as possible to the south of your location. Ideally, the position of the satellite should not differ from that of the said direction by more than 5°. In other words, you should use the satellite position closest to the longitude of the point of installation. For example, if your longitude is 73° W, you should search for a satellite located at a position between 68° and 78° W.

The USALS function considerably simplifies configuration of the antenna. The Ferguson receiver requires that you enter the geographical coordinates of the antenna in order to automatically calculate the angle of revolution of the motor for individual satellites. The receiver activates the positioner automatically and turns the antenna to the selected satellite. When a signal is locked on, you should precisely adjust the antenna's elevation and azimuth settings in order to optimise signal reception. When correcting the azimuth, the entire antenna assembly and positioner revolve with respect to the mast. If initially the antenna was not directed precisely south, you can correct this now. When you have finished with the first satellite, all other satellites will be remembered automatically, provided that you have introduced their satellite position values correctly.

Without the USALS function, programming of the system is much more difficult. To this end you should use the DiSEqC 1.2 function, which turns the antenna to the selected satellite in a nearly identical manner. Since, however, it does not take into consideration the local geographical coordinates, the movement is effected on the basis of the prime meridian and the equator. Therefore it is necessary to introduce corrections separately for each satellite. Due to these difficulties, manufacturers of DiSEqC 1.2 positioners frequently provide useful software on their websites, using which you can easily calculate the location of the satellite.

9. Connecting the satellite receiver

The following illustrations show cable connections for a television and other devices connected to the receiver. If you require any assistance in connecting individual devices, contact your local technician. Before connecting or altering connections, disconnect the receiver from the mains !!!

9.1 Connecting to the TV via HDMI cable (recommended)

1. Connect the antenna to the LNB IN socket of the receiver.

2. Connect the HDMI to the receiver out and the television in.

Connection by means of an HDMI cable allows you to obtain the highest image quality.

If you have an amplifier with an HDMI out and in, which supports audio over HDMI, connect the devices by two HDMI cables. As in the following figure: one cable to the amplifier, and the other from the amplifier to the television set.

9.2 Connecting to the TV via Component (YPbPr) cable

1. Connect the antenna to the LNB IN socket of the receiver.

2. Connect the video and audio with five cinch cables to the television set.

Three cables, colored green, blue and red, are used for the component signal. The two remaining cables, red and white, are used to connect audio (right and left channel).

9.3 Connecting an audio system

1. Digital sound (including surround sound, if transmitted) may be obtained through the optical (SPDIF) socket. The following figure presents the SPDIF connection.

2. Stereo sound may be obtained by connecting cinch cables (white and red) for the left and right channels.

9.4 Connecting external memory

1. The receiver supports all types of hard disk drives in housings that are equipped with an independent power supply. The sole condition is that the hard disk has to have a single basic partition that is formatted in FAT32 (recommended), EXT2, EXT3.

2. We recommend that you regularly archive data on your PC computer. A large number of files with recordings may slow down the operation of the receiver (slow loading of the file list).

Your receiver has one USB 2.0 host port to connect memory devices (memory stick, external hard disk) formatted in FAT32, EXT2, EXT3, NTFS.

For USB memory devices formatted in NTFS your receiver can only playback files (movies, MP3s, pictures). Recording is not possible.

9.5 Connecting another receiver

Another receiver may be connected through the LNB OUT socket. Please keep in mind, however, that only one receiver may be used at any one time! Permanent damage may result if both are turned on simultaneously.

9.6 Connecting to the local network (LAN)

PSTN Modem: RJ11 connector – The receiver has a built-in modem to connect to an analog PSTN telephone line. Modem enables two-way communication in order to gain access to the Internet and has the function of interactive exchanges. Connect your receiver to the network with a Telephone cable.

Ethernet: RJ45 connector - Connect your receiver to the network with an Ethernet cable.

To operate all features of your receiver connect your receiver to your network via a Router which is connected to the Internet. If you cannot connect to your network or if ‘ Connection failed!’ is displayed for network features check again the address and the

network connection and try again.

FIRST STEPS

1. Insert the plug of the receiver and other additional devices to a wall socket.

2. Select AV signal source of your television set.

3. The satellite receiver is supplied with reinstalled television channels. In order to watch other, i.e. non-default channels, you should use the channel search function.

ATTACHMENT A - GLOSSARY OF TERMS

CA - Conditional Access – a coding system

used in order to protect transmitted data against unauthorised access. Access to protected channels is available only to subscribers.

CAM - Conditional Access Module – an electronic device, usually fitted with card slots, that allows access to coded pay-perview channels on a receiver equipped with a CI socket.

CI - Common Interface – CI sockets of digital receivers are used for the installation of CAM conditional access modules, and thus allow you to view coded pay-per-view channels through these modules.

DVB-S the Digital Video Broadcasting standard that defines modulation and error correction in satellite transmissions. In DVB-S, both the MCPC and SCPC modes can be used by the operator to transmit channels. MPEG-2 is used as the transport stream.

EPG - Electronic Programme Guide – a service that displays detailed information about current and future programmes on the television screen.

FTA - Free-to-air – uuencoded radio and television channels that may be received on any television set.

LNB - low-noise block converter – a converter - it converts satellite signals, and then sends them to the tuner through a coaxial cable. The basic parameters are: gain, noise factor and power consumption.

MCPC - multiple channels per carrier – more than one signal (channel) is transmitted on a given frequency (transponder). All of these channels comprise a single data stream, which is transmitted on one frequency following modulation.

Monoblock – a device that comprises two converters and a DiSEqC switch in a single housing, which receives signals from two satellites on similar orbits.

Pay-TV – Pay-per-view digital television, to which only subscribers have access. The service is provided by satellite, cable, over the ground or through the network.

SCPC - Single channel per carrier – only one signal (channel) is transmitted over a given frequency (transponder).

STB - Set-top box – an electronic device connected to the television set, which processes the signal received from the ground-based, cable or network satellite antenna. It enables the playback of video and sound.

TP - Transponder – a type of wireless communication device (transmitter), which automatically receives, modulates, strengthens and responds to a signal coming in real time over a specific frequency. The term is derived from the words "transmitter" and "responder". Usually, each transponder transmits numerous compressed digital channels.

DiSEqC - (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) a communication protocol, used

between a satellite receiver and equipment such as switches or positioners, which supports switching between television signal sources and antenna control.

USALS – (Universal Satellites Automatic Location System) – a communication

protocol used between satellite receivers and positioners, which makes it possible to control the positioner through the receiver. Used in connection with the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol.
