There are several ways of connecting the STB to your existing Audio/TV system. We recommend using one of the following set-up for best results:

TV only

1. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.

2. Connect one end of a RF lead to the RF OUT connector on the STB and the other end to the RF IN connector on your TV.

3. Connect your TV antenna to the RF IN connector on the STB for receiving terrestrial channels.

4. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB.

TV with VCR

1. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.

2. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the VCR SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your VCR.

3. Connect one end of a RF lead to the RF OUT connector on the STB and the other end to the RF IN connector on your VCR.

4. Connect one end of a RF lead to the RF OUT connector on your VCR and the other end to the RF IN connector on your TV.

5. Connect your TV antenna to the RF IN connector on the STB for receiving terrestrial channels.

6. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB IN socket on the STB.

With Hi-Fi System

1. Connect an RCA/Cinch stereo cable from the AUDIO L,R sockets on the back of the STB to the LINE, AUX, SPARE OR EXTRA input sockets on your Hi-Fi system.

STB Connections

TV with VCR and Motorised System(DiSEqC 1.2)

1. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the TV SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your TV.

2. Connect one end of a 21-pin SCART cable to the VCR SCART connector on the STB and the other end to a SCART socket on your VCR.

3. Connect one end of a RF lead to the RF OUT connector on your VCR and the other end to the RF IN connector on your TV.

4. Connect one end of a RF lead to the RF IN connector on your VCR and the other end to the RF OUT connector on the STB.

5. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB of your motorised system to the LNB IN socket on the STB.

6. Connect your TV antenna to the RF IN connector on the STB for receiving terrestrial channels.

7. Connect the coaxial cable from the LNB to the LNB connector on the DiSEqC 1.2 motor.

Reference

1. Connect DiSEqC 1.0

All our receivers 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 Ainput 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 page 32.

3. Connect a Satellite antenna

To the digital receiver, 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-receiver(for example analogue), with the receiver 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.

Reference

5. Connect a S/PDIF Fiber-Optic cable

If you are watching a programme with a Dolby Digital soundtrack (see page 11) 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);

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 OTAis 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.
