Introduction
There are several ways of connecting the STB to your existing TV/Audio system.
Some of the methods enable you to listen to music in stereo sound of CD like
quality.
Consult your local supplier for assistance in setting up an Video/Audio
configuration best suited to your unique requirements.
Hints to Quality TV System Configurations
●
Connect cables via Audio/Video Outputs/Inputs or SCART connector instead
of RF connectors, where possible.
●
Use an appropriate, correctly installed antenna system.
●
Ensure that the system is properly earthed and protected against lightning.
●
Connect the STB to high quality stereo TV and Hi-Fi equipment.
Note : When Video/Audio Input Outputs or SCART connector are available
a “Video” mode may need to be selected in place of a “TV” mode
on the VCR and the TV.
Connection
1. Switch off the mains supply in the STB before connecting or disconnecting
the LNB.
Connect the TV antenna connector into the RF IN socket on the STB.
2. Use the flylead supplied with the STB to connect the RF OUT socket
on the STB to the RF IN (aerial) connector on the VCR.
3. Use the flylead supplied with the VCR to connect the RF OUT socket
on the VCR to the RF IN (aerial) connector on the TV.
4. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB into the socket marked LNB IN
on the STB.
The connector on the LNB IN should be turned until it is finger tight.
5. Connect the power plug of the STB into the mains wall socket and switch
the power on.
Note : As the SCPC channel is a weak signal it is important that the satellite dish is
installed precisely to receive it, or moving pictures may be displayed with
picture break up errors.
