3. Connecting
If your TV is standard definition and
does not have component input,
please use a 3 lines cable (red, white,
yellow) to connect to your STB’s CVBS,
left and right analog audio port, as well
as to your TV’s corresponding ports.
If your TV is standard or high definition
and has component input ports, you
can connect your STB to your TV with a
5 lines cable (red, green, blue/ red,
white)
If your TV is high definition and has a
HDMI input port, connect your STB to
your TV with an HDMI cable. This
allows for maximum resolution to be
displayed on your television.
Connect your satellite antenna cable
to your STB’s ‘SAT IN’ port. Then, turn
on your TV and select the appropriate
input on your television.
Turn on your STB power, select a satellite in the “Satellite List” menu, and then enter the antenna setup to
configure exact parameters of this antenna. Select “Single Satellite Search”, then “Auto Scan” to search programs.

The Manhattan RS-1933 receiver has a capacity for up to 100 satellites in memory. Standard factory settings include
over 90 satellites on both C and Ku-band, from 128 East to 1 West longitude. This allows North American users on both
the Pacific (Alaska and Hawaii) and Atlantic (Canada’s Maritimes) coasts to use the same memory configuration. This
standard setup lists satellites from West to East, Ku-band followed by C-band. A few selected transponders are included
with each satellite to allow you to get started. A few channels from popular satellites are also included, but you must do
a scan to create full channel lists once you connect your system. Go into the receiver Menus and check the satellites
90 satellites in the receiver memory, only those satellites that have been selected and actually have at least one channel
scanned or inputted into the memory in advance will appear when you press the LIST button.
Those using an IRD receiver such as a 4DTV may prefer to have satellites listed in order, but with C and Ku-band from
an orbital location listed next to each other. You can go to the Manhattan-Digital website at www.manhattan-digital.net
and visit our SUPPORT section to obtain a factory download file in the MIX format, which alternates C and Ku listings in
this manner. Such a download can be transferred to a USB memory stick to update your receiver.
Whichever method that you use, once it is installed, you have several choices on how to scan for active satellite
channels. One can do an AUTO SCAN, which searches all frequencies on each polarity, then creates a channel list. Auto
Scan can be quite time consuming and sometimes less than accurate unless a system is perfectly aligned. Alternatives
include the manual entry of additional Transponder information from references on the Internet such as www.global-
cm.net or www.lyngsat.com and others. You can then use the Preset Scan mode to more quickly scan for signals. An
Auto Scan attempted AFTER first doing a Preset Scan should be faster, since the Preset Scan has already found a number
of transponders. All of this scanning does take time, and if you would like another alternative to reduce the effort
needed to create a channel list, there is the availability of Preloaded Memory Updates, sold by select Manhattan-Digital
dealers. Such an update would normally include a consecutive listing of ALL known transponders containing FTA
channels, allowing you to immediately do a Preset Scan on each polarity after loading this update into the receiver. Such
updates are done on a frequent basis to keep the database up-to-date. Please contact Manhattan-Digital by Email at the
contacts listed on the website if you would like the name of a dealer that can provide this service.
