This document and the information contained herein are the subject of copyright and intellectual property rights under international convention. All rights are reserved. No part of this document may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form by any means, electronic, mechanical or optical, in a whole or in part, without the prior written permission of UEC Technologies (Pty) Ltd, the Manufacturer.

DIGITAL SATELLITE SERVICES

The STU has been designed to receive and process digital signals transmitted from orbiting satellites. The satellites act as mirrors in the transmission process, beaming the FOXTEL’s signals back to your satellite dish.

In addition to the digital TV and audio signals, satellite signals also contain data that the STU extracts, processes and stores. This provides up-to-date text information on the content and status of the various services at the touch of a button.

CONDITIONAL ACCESS

Smart Card

You were supplied with a FOXTEL Smart Card when you subscribed. The Smart Card looks similar to a credit card and is inserted into the slot behind the right-hand front flap of the STU.

Inserting the Smart Card

The Smart Card is the key to unlocking the subscribed services in the STU. The STU will not unscramble scrambled TV or audio services if the card is not inserted or is incorrectly inserted.

Inserting the Smart Card into the STU allows instant access to the subscribed services.

To insert the Smart Card, follow the instructions carefully. 1 Open the right hand flap on the front of the STU (see

figure). Swing the flap downwards to expose the card slot.

2 Hold the Smart Card horizontally with the logo on top and

the arrows pointed towards the slot. Insert the Card fully into the slot.

GETTING STARTED Setting-up the System

Switching on the STU at the Mains

When you first switch on the STU at the mains, it goes through a power-up sequence, during which various indications are displayed on the STU display and TV screen, then displays service number 1 on the front panel display.

NOTE: If the TV is not tuned to the channel

chosen to view the satellite services, the sequence is still the same, but the TV will not display the scanning screen or the TV programme. To tune the TV to the STU services, re-tune the TV as per Tuning

Your TV.

If your TV has been tuned to accept the STU services, but your smart card has not been inserted into the STU, an error message will appear on your TV screen on completion of the sequence.

If your STU was in standby mode with the mains power switch off, it will display a 24 hour clock when mains power is restored. Press to restore the signal.

It is strongly recommended that the STU is not switched off at the mains as this will prevent proper operation of the STU, INCLUDING OVER-THE-AIR SOFTWARE UPGRADES.

Tuning your TV

If your TV is not tuned to the STU viewing channel, you will not be able to view the satellite services. Your VCR, STU and TV can also interfere with each other unless they are tuned in correctly. The output of the STU can be tuned over the whole UHF band using the following recommended method:

1 Connect the satellite dish and terrestrial antenna. 2 On the TV, select any unused channel on which you wish to

view your satellite programmes. Once selected, all your satellite services will be viewed on this channel, selection of the service being made using the RCU.

3 Press and hold UHF on the RCU until UHF is displayed on the

STU display. Tune your TV set to receive the STU test signal display (see following figure).

A Channel number (initially 38) will be displayed on the STU front panel display. Press UHF on the RCU to remove the test signal.

Check that any noise from the STU does not interfere with signals received on the VCR. Check all tuned channels on the TV for interference.

4 If any interference is noticed, change the UHF channel

number as follows: Press and hold the UHF button on the RCU to display UHF on

the STU display and the UHF test screen on the TV. Change the channel number to 2 more or 2 less than the

existing number (36 or 40) by pressing or twice on the RCU. Press OK to save. The following will happen as soon as or is pressed:

a. The TV display is lost because the TV is not tuned to the

new channel.

b. The new channel number is displayed on the front panel

of the STU.

On the TV, retune the channel allocated to the STU until the STU test pattern is clearly visible.

Repeat step 4 until interference on all channels is eliminated.

NOTE: After changes have been made, the STU must

not be switched off for at least 3 minutes to allow for the new setting to be saved.

If interference is still present, it is recommended that good quality screened cables (preferably double screened) are used for interconnecting all other equipment to the STU.

Standby and Normal Modes

The STU does not have a mains power on/off switch and it is recommended that, for normal viewing, it remains connected to the mains after installation.

When the STU is not in use, it should be switched to the standby mode using the symbol on the front panel or on the RCU.

The standby mode is indicated by a 24 hour clock display on the STU display panel. To use the STU after the initial installation:

1 Switch on the TV and any other equipment included in the

system.

2 Select the channel on the TV that you have allocated for

viewing the satellite services.

3 If the STU is in the standby mode, press on either the

RCU or STU front panel, to return to the normal viewing mode. A service number will be displayed on the front panel indicator.

4 You will be returned to your last selected TV or Music &

Radio channel.

5 If you wish to select TV programming, press TV on the RCU. 6 If you wish to select the Music & Radio Services, press the

key on the RCU, or TV/ on the STU front panel. If subscribed to, an audio service will be heard, and the audio programme information box will be displayed on the TV. A green indicator on the front panel display is lluminated while

Over The Air Software Download

Upgrades involve replacing the software (programs) in the STU with improved software, adding more features and improving the existing operation of the STU. This ensures that the STU does not have to be replaced each time advances in technology occur. By replacing the software, you virtually get a new STU.

Software upgrades normally take place automatically over-the-air. The STU can be upgraded when it is in standby or while it is switched to a service. The STU software cannot be upgraded if it is switched off at the mains. It is strongly recommended that your STU is left in the standby mode when you are not using it.

A message on the TVscreen will warn you that a software upgrade will take place. Software upgrades usually take place in the early morning and last approximately 9 minutes, during which time normal satellite viewing is not possible. After the download is completed, the STU will automatically return to the current service.

NOTE: 1. Whilst the STU is performing the Upgrade, never

remove power from the STU as this will stop the upgrade process and will cause your STU to stop functioning normally.

2. During the upgrade an Amber light will be displayed on the front of the STU with numbers

and a rotating cursor.
