Basic Operations

Setting up for WorldSpace reception

To initiate WorldSpace broadcaster
reception

Before you can begin to receive broadcaster signals,
it is necessary for this unit to establish what
broadcaster range is available in your area. This
operation is easily performed using the LEARN
button.

1 Press the button to turn this unit on.

2 Press the WS button to select the WS band.

WS

3 Press the PRESET– /PRESET+ buttons to select

the appropriate WorldSpace service area.

The region preset numbers appear in the display.
The maps on page 18 contain the preset numbers
for each area of coverage. Select the number
most appropriate for the region that you live in.

PRESET

To adjust the WS antenna

For proper operation of this unit, do not procede to
other WS band operations until you have set up the
WS antenna for satellite signal reception. Using the
WorldSpace service area map and graphs on pages
18 and 19 as a guide, try to position the antenna in a
line of sight with the satellite with as few
obstructions as possible. Adjust the antenna by
rotating and tilting to direct the WS antenna in the
general direction of the satellite broadcasting to
your region. The antenna can also be tilted up to 60º
from the base.

The WS antenna signal indicator in the display
indicates the strength of the satellite signal being
received. When the antenna icon appears alone,
there is no signal being received. As the signal
becomes stronger, bars appear to the right of the
antenna icon. Try to adjust the antenna so that three
bars appear for the strongest signal reception.

6 Press the LEARN button again while “LEARN?”

is displayed.

“LEARN 99” appears in the display and begins
counting down while the unit automatically
searches for the WorldSpace broadcaster range
available in your area. When the search is
complete, “LEARN” disappears from the display.
If the search was successful, sound is produced
and the WorldSpace broadcaster range for your
area is set in memory.

Notes:

• Pressing the WS button while the unit is searching ends
the search and restores the unit to the previous operation
mode.

• If the satellite signal reception in your area is too weak or
for some reason reception is being blocked, the signals
will not be received and “NO BEAM” appears in the
display. Reposition or redirect the WS antenna to
improve reception.

Notes:

• When rotating the WS antenna, be sure to check that the
antenna cable is not being pulled or stretched as that
may cause the antenna to malfunction.

• As glass and tall structures inhibit the transmission of the
signal, try to avoid directing the antenna toward windows
or tall buildings.

• The signal indicator displays the reception of the overall
satellite signal as opposed to actual broadcaster recep­tion. Because of this, even when the strongest signal
indicator is shown, the sound may be intermittent. This is
not a malfunction.

Additional Operations

Searching for a preferred language

A single broadcaster is capable of broadcasting up to
8 different programs simultaneously. When multiple
languages are broadcast, the MULTI indicator lights
in the display and the MULTI/LANG button can be
used to select the language. However, by setting the
User Preferred Language (UPL), it is also possible for
this unit to automatically select the program in the
language you normally use.

To establish the UPL, it is first necessary to conduct a
search for a program being broadcast in your
language.

1 Press and hold the MULTI/LANG button for 3

seconds until “SEL-LANG” appears in the
display.

2 Turn the TUNING/SELECT dial to select one of

the 20 languages in the menu.

If the TUNING/SELECT dial position does not
change for 5 seconds, the LANG search mode is
exited.

3 Press the MULTI/LANG button again.

The unit searches for a program in the selected
language. Reception of the program begins as
soon as it is found. Press the MULTI/LANG button
within 15 seconds of receiving a program to
search for another program. If the MULTI/LANG
button is not pushed again, the mode is exited
and the current program will continue to be
received.

Performing this search establishes the UPL. As many
as three UPL can be stored in memory. When
multiple language programming is encountered, the
program in one of the established UPL will be
automatically selected when available. UPL priority
is based on the most recent language search
performed.

Notes:

• To establish three languages as UPL, it is necessary to

perform a language search for each language. Note that
priority is given to the most recent language searched
for.

• If the selected language is not found, “NO PGM” appears

in the display and the unit returns to the previously
received broadcaster.

• Language information is transmitted by the broadcaster.

Therefore, though a program with the specified language
is detected, the language of the actual program may be
different. This is not a malfunction.

• Pressing the WS button during a language search ends

the search and returns to the previously received
broadcaster.

program corresponding to the established UPPY is
automatically selected.

Notes:

• If the selected program type is not found, “NO PGM”
appears in the display and the unit returns to the
previously received broadcaster.

• The program type information is transmitted by the
different broadcasters. Therefore, though a program of
the specified type is detected, the content of the actual
program may be different. This is not a malfunction.

• Pressing the WS button during a PTY search ends the
search and returns to the previously received broad­caster.

Regarding encrypted broadcaster
signals

Some broadcasters are available by subscription
only, or may not be available in certain areas, and
the signals from these broadcasters are protected by
the WorldSpace Encryption Schemes 1 and 2 (ES1
and ES2). When you try to receive these
broadcasters, the broadcast is scrambled and the
CODED indicator lights in the display. If a
broadcaster carries a service you are interested in,
the steps below describe the process necessary to
decode the broadcast.

1 Contact a WorldSpace center or an authorized

WorldSpace service provider regarding
broadcaster services and rates in your region.

Refer to page 21 for a list of WorldSpace centers
worldwide.

Notes:

• If you make a mistake while entering the password, press
the MEMORY/CANCEL button when the cursor is not
selecting a number to move the cursor back to the
previous number. Continue this procedure until the
cursor has moved back to the incorrectly entered
number. Numbers that you had entered after that number
must be reentered.

• If you wish to reenter the password from the beginning,
press the WS button and the password is erased and the
mode is exited. Repeat the procedure on this page from
step 3 to enter the password in again.

• If “COMPLETE” appears in the display, but you are still
unable to listen to the broadcaster, contact your nearest
WorldSpace center.

• When the password is entered, sound may be intermit­tent.

• Up to 4 passwords can be stored in memory. Be sure to
keep your passwords in a safe location where they can be
easily found in case they are somehow erased from
memory.

2 Fill out the application form. At this time, the ID

number of the unit is necessary. An ID number
number sheet with 3 stickers is included with
this unit. The ID number can also be found on
the rear panel of this unit.

On the receipt of the application and any
necessary fees, you will receive a password
corresponding to the ID number of your unit. The
password may be as long as 22 digits in the
following format: A12345-B67890...E12

3 Enter the password.

1. Press and hold the PTY and MULTI/LANG
buttons for three seconds until “PWA_”
appears in the display.

Tuning the Time Division Multiplex
(TDM) frequencies manually

The L-band frequency range used for WorldSpace
broadcasters is divided into a grid comprised of 82
blocks of 460 kHz segments. With this unit, it is
possible to tune the individual grid positions and
polarities manually.
If you are able to receive WS broadcasters, it is NOT
necessary to perform this operation. However, there
may be occasional changes in the transmitted signal
which may require use of this function. Worldspace
will inform you of any alteration in the frequency
range available in your area.
