PREPARATION
This section explains how to set up
2
your Plaza DS•100 to receive freesat.
THE SATELLITE DISH
To receive freesat you must connect your Plaza DS•100 receiver to an appropriate satellite dish, xed in position and accurately pointed at 28.2° East.
For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly recommend that you have your dish installed by a professional. You may be able to use a satellite dish already installed at your home. If you have any questions about the dish, please consult your installer.
10
CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER
Place your Plaza DS•100 receiver on a  rm, level surface close to the television, an electric socket, and the cable from the dish. (See Appendix A - Safety.)
Connect the cable from your dish to the LNB IN socket at the back of the receiver (if the dish cable is  tted with a wall socket inside your home, you will need a connecting cable, which you can get from your installer).
HINT: The ‘F-connector’ used for
connecting the satellite dish cable to the receiver has a central wire that is inserted into the hole in the LNB IN socket while the collar is screwed onto the socket. When screwing the collar on make sure the central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to one side.
11
CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER (continued)
Turn off your TV and connect the SCART lead between the TV SCART socket on the back of your Plaza DS•100 receiver and a SCART socket on your television (usually labelled AV). There may be more than one SCART socket on your television. If you are not sure which to use, check the manual for your TV.
HINT: If your TV has different connectors,
you will need an adapter or special cable. Ask your dealer or check the manual for your TV.
12
You may have other equipment, such as a DVD player, to connect to the receiver.
You can connect a VCR (video cassette recorder) or DVD recorder to your Plaza DS•100 receiver
to record freesat programmes and play them back. You will need to connect a second SCART cable (not supplied) between the VCR SCART socket on the back of the receiver and a SCART socket on the VCR or DVD recorder. Check the VCR or DVD recorder’s manual for guidance.
You could connect the Plaza DS•100 receiver to a stereo or surround sound system instead, so that you can listen to the sound through the sound system instead of (or as well as) the television’s speakers. You could use the VCR Scart socket on the back of the receiver, but you will need an adapter or special cable to suit the connections of the sound system.
HINT: You cannot connect the receiver to
a VCR or DVD recorder and a sound system at the same time.
13
SWITCHING ON
Take the battery compartment cover off the back of the Plaza DS•100 remote control by lifting it up while pushing the catch. Insert the two AAA batteries supplied, as shown on the inside of the compartment, and replace the compartment cover.
Turn your TV set on and choose the correct
channel for the receiver (you usually do this by pressing an ‘AV’ button on your TV remote control, but check your TV manual for guidance).
Plug the receiver in and switch it on. After a few seconds, the set-up screen shown below will appear on your TV.
HINT: If you do not see this screen on
your TV, see ‘Troubleshooting’ on page
46.
14
The set-up screen shows the strength of the freesat signal received from the satellite dish. If the signal strength is below 50%, you should check the satellite dish connection at the back of the receiver (switch the receiver off and reconnect the cable if necessary). If the connection is OK, consult your dealer or installer.
HINT: The Network ID and Transport
ID are in the freesat signal and are used to allow the receiver to identify the satellite dish and freesat network, to make sure the dish is receiving the correct satellite signals.
When the signal strength shown on the set-up screen is 50% or more, you can tune the receiver in.
TUNING IN
Because this is the  rst time that the receiver has been used, there are no channels stored in it’s memory. The receiver will automatically  nd and store channels.
Press the
button on the remote control to
search for the ‘Network ID’ and ‘Transport ID’.
When the Network ID and Transport ID have been found and displayed, press the
button
on the remote control to display the following postcode screen.
15
TUNING IN (continued)
Enter your postcode using the number buttons on the remote control followed by the button.
Then use the
or buttons to choose the screen format used by your TV (a 16:9 widescreen TV or a squarer 4:3 TV), then press
to start the
channel search.
HINT: Enter your postcode by pressing the
correct number button a number of times to produce the relevant letter (as printed above each button) or number, in the same way as ‘texting’ with a mobile phone. For example, for an ‘s’ you would press
7
 ve times. You do not need to enter a space. If you make a mistake, the
button deletes
the last letter or number you entered.
16
Your Plaza DS•100 receiver will take a few seconds to  nd and store the available freesat channels, displaying the names of the channels as they are found. When it is  nished, the receiver will display the total number of freesat channels it has found.
Your Plaza DS•100 receiver is now ready for you to receive freesat digital TV and radio.
HINT: When new freesat channels become
available, you do not need to tune your Plaza DS•100 receiver again because it is automatically updated.
