TUNE IN
2 
To receive freesat you must 
connect your Plaza DS•100A 
receiver to an appropriate 
satellite dish, fixed in position 
and accurately pointed at 28.2° 
East satellite position. 
For safety reasons and to 
provide reliable reception, we 
strongly recommend that the 
dish is professionally installed. If 
you have any questions about the 
dish, please consult your installer.
PLUG IN
Place  your  Plaza  DS•100A 
3 
receiver on a firm, level surface 
close to your television, a mains 
electricity socket, and the cable 
from the dish. 
Connect the cable from your dish 
to the LNB IN socket at the back 
of the receiver.
Make sure your television is 
turned off and connect the 
SCART cable to the TV SCART 
socket on the rear of the Plaza 
DS•100A and to a SCART socket 
on your television (usually labelled 
AV). If you need more guidance, 
check your television manual.
Plug the mains power lead into 
an available mains socket that is 
turned off.

Remove the battery compartment 
cover from the back of the Plaza 
DS•100Aremote control by lifting it up 
while pushing the catch. Insert the two 
AAA sized batteries as marked on the 
inside of the compartment. Replace the 
compartment cover.
Turn on your TV set and choose the  
SCART input (see your television manual). 
Switch on the mains socket the Plaza 
DS•100A is connected to. After a 
few seconds, step one of the freesat 
installation process will be shown on the 
television screen.
If you do not see this screen (pictured 
opposite), please refer to the 
Troubleshooting section in the main 
user guide.

When the first installation step is displayed, 
use the   and  buttons to select the screen 
type of your television (16:9 Widescreen 
or the squarer 4:3 Traditional). Press the 
selection box, and then use the   and   
buttons to select the correct output for your 
television (see your television’s manual for 
guidance, or select Composite if unsure).
Press   to display the next installation step.

Troubleshooting section in the main user 
guide. Press   to proceed to the next step.
Enter your postcode, pressing the number 
buttons an appropriate number of times 
to produce the letters (printed above each

way as ‘texting’ on a mobile phone. You do not 
need to enter a space. If you make a mistake, 
the   button deletes the previous character. 
Now press   once to confirm the postcode 
and again to start the channel scan.
