menu, you will be able to benefit from a better image quality.
The VCR plug of the receiver can be connected to a VCR or a DVD
player. In case you own both a VCR and a DVD player, you can connect
the latter to the secondary plug of the VCR. In both cases the RGB
signal from the DVD player will not be used.
Antenna
Connect your satellite dish cable to the input IN. The OUT plug is a
bypass of the satellite dish signal and can be used to connect a
secondary (e.g. Analogue) receiver.
RS232
The RS232 serial port of the receiver can be used for receiver's software
update. It also provides a two ways link between the receiver and a
Personal Computer for future applications.
Audio
The receiver provides a digital audio output for PCM and AC-3 outputs. It
can be connected to a digital AC-3 audio amplifier.
The analogue audio outputs can be connected to an analogue audio

5. Conditional Access
This receiver is ready for the vision of pay channels, of both subscription
and pay-per-view type. Despite there are numerous Conditional Access
systems being used, this receiver is virtually compatible with all of them
by means of the so-called CAM (Conditional Access Module). These
moduls, in PCMCIA standard format, handle the descrambling of the
pay-tv signal depending on the access conditions of the subscription
smart card, that is inserted in the CAM. The receiver has two CAM slots,
in order to handle up to two Conditional Access systems at the same
time. The CAM slots are of standard DVB Common Interface (CI) type.
To access the CAM menus:
• From main menu, select «Conditional access» and press OK.
The following menu will show the items «CI slot 1» and «CI slot 2». Next
to each slot item, in brackets, a status word is available. If no CAM is
present the status will be ‘empty’, if a CAM has just been inserted the
status will be ‘initializing’, or if the CAM is ready the status will be the
CAM name.
• To access the CAM menu select the slot and press OK.
If the CAM is ready you will enter the CAM’s menu. Each CAM type has
its own menu structure.
