**

11.LIGHTNING, STORM, or NOT IN USE

**

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna during a thunderstorm or when left
unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and
power-surges.

**

12.EXTRANEOUS OBJECTS

**

Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points
or damage parts.

**

13.REPLACEMENT of PARTS

**

GB 4

Reference

1. Connect DiSEqC 1.0

All our STBs are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennas to be connected to the
STB simultaneously.

If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch.

1. Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input connector of the DiSEqC
switch.

2. Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B input connector of the DiSEqC
switch.

3. Do the same for other LNBs.

4. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF output connector of the DiSEqC switch and the other end
to the LNB IN socket on the STB.

**

2. Connect DiSEqC 1.2

Please refer to Motorised System.
The Locking Time might take longer than expected during the initial boot if the motorised system is set

“enable” mode.

**

3. Connect a Satellite antenna

To the digital set top box, you can connect either a single satellite antenna directly or through converter box
several antennas or LNB of multi-feed equipment.

You can connect a further Sat-STB (for example analogue), with the STB of common antenna equipment that
has satellite signals.

**

Connect an antenna cable through converter boxes

**

1. When you assemble several antenna or a multi-feed equipment that has several LNB (or LNB with
several exits), connect each cable from the antenna to a converter box.

2. Connect the output of converter box to “LNB IN”, as in example displayed.

3. When you use a converter box of 0/12V-steerage, connect it to the output “0/12V” additionally.
For converter boxes of 22KHz- or DiSEqC-steerage, you can skip this point because the steerage signal
occurs through the antenna cable.

**

4. Loop Through

If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB then you can connect it via the
loop through. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT on the STB and connect the other end to
the LNB IN on your second STB.

GB 5

Reference

5. Connect a S/PDIF Fiber-Optic cable

If you are watching a programme with a Dolby Digital soundtrack(see page GB14) you can enjoy the higher
quality sound of the Dolby Digital audio by connecting the STB to an external Dolby Digital television or
amplifier. Do this by connecting the optical S/PDIF output of the STB to the optical S/PDIF input of the external

Dolby Digital product (television, amplifier,.....).

**

6. Software Upgrade

HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product - incorporating one of the best software
applications.

Whenever a problem is found with this software or, in fact, extra functions or enhanced applications are
added, the software in the equipment has to be upgraded.

In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up to date software.
The latest news and release of software versions may be found at HUMAX website -

http://www.humaxdigital.com.

It is recommended that users register to HCSA(HUMAX Customer Service Area) and periodically check for the
availability of software upgrade.

**

There are three methods to upgrade the software:

a. set-top box to set-top box download(copies the software of the main unit into slave unit);
b. pc to set-top box download(downloads the software directly from pc to the model requiring upgrade);
c. OTA over-the-air(downloads the software where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and

where to release through satellite system).

**

Over The Air(OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software upgrade can take place

by "beaming" latest software versions over the air via satellite systems. Note that OTA is only limited to certain
geographical regions mainly due to different satellites having different footprints(area where the signal can be
received).

**

SUSS(TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA.
The software upgrade via satellite system will only occur under the following circumstances:

(1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software;
(2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite system;
(3) the equipment must be "tuned" properly to the same satellite that the manufacturer uses.

**

Note : CRCI-5500+ complies with the OTA type of CryptoWorks.

You can use a special antenna switch with DiSEqC commands.

**

When changing ASTRA1 to EUTELSAT for example, a DiSEqC command is sent with the 22KHz tone
through the antenna cable. The antenna switch will change ASTRA1 to EUTELSAT. The concept of DiSEqC is
a protective trademark of EUTELSAT.
