a “First-time installation.” During this procedure, helpful information is displayed
at the bottom of the menus.

Please note!

The select button always confirms a selection within these menus, and pressing
it will take you to the next step in the installation process. However, and this is im­portant, more than one value often has to be entered in a menu. Firstly, make all
necessary setting changes. Then, confirm them all simultaneously by pressing
select.

You can always return to the previous menu by pressing back.
Use the cursor up/cursor down button to move upwards and downwards from

one line to another.
Use the cursor left/cursor right button to change settings.
You can also use the numeric buttons on the remote control to enter numeric val-

ues.

The “First-time installation” menu

This picture indicates that you have started the installation procedure.

•Plug in your Mediamaster.

• The “First-time installation” menu is shown.

•Press select to continue.

Language

• Select the desired menu language using the cursor up/cursor down button.
This will also become the main language for audio and subtitling.

•Press select to continue.

Antenna/satellite selection

• Select the “One antenna/one LNB configuration” alternative if you have a sin­gle antenna equipped with one LNB for receiving signals.

• Select the alternative “Multisatellite/DiSEqC switch configuration” alternative
if you have one antenna with two or four LNBs or two antennas with one or two
LNBs each for receiving signals from a combination of satellites. In this cases
you will need a 2-way or a 4-way DiSEqC switch.

•Select the “Motor antenna configuration” alternative if you have an antenna mo­tor to control your satellite antenna.

GB 14

First time installation

One antenna/one LNB configuration

Select this alternative if you have one (1) LNB mounted on the antenna.

•Press opt to view the predefined channel.

LNB type

Select the correct LNB for your configuration. The most common values, includ­ing Universal LNB, can be selected using the

LNB offset voltage

If the cable from the antenna is very long, the voltage at the LNB could be too low
to change the polarisation. You can increase the voltage to the LNB by 0.5 V.

Satellite

Select one of the pre-programmed satellites.

Predefined channel

Select one of the predefined channels and adjust the antenna until a TV picture
from the predefined channel is visible on the screen.

•Press select to confirm all settings and then carry out the channel search pro­cedure.

cursor left/cursor right button.

Multisatellite/DiSEqC switch configuration

Select this alternative if your antenna system has more than one LNB.
You can connect up to 4 LNBs. The selection of the different LNBs must be con-

trolled by an external switch.

• Select the “DiSEqC 2 input switch” alternative if you have a 2-way DiSEqC
switch.

• Select the “DiSEqC 4 input switch” alternative if you have a 4-way DiSEqC
switch.

• Select the “Mini DiSEqC switch” alternative if you have a mini DiSEqC switch.

In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external switch as there is only
one antenna input on the Mediamaster. Once installed, the switch automatically
selects the correct LNB for the selected channel.

This external switch is also known as a DiSEqC™ switch. Since the switch can
be located close to the LNBs, you only need one cable to connect to the
Mediamaster.

GB 15

First time installation

Typical connection of a two-way DiSEqC switch:

• Connect the cable from the LNB that is intended for channels from the
ASTRA satellite (or THOR) to the connector marked LNB 1 (A) on the
switch.

• Connect the cable from the HOTBIRD satellite (or SIRIUS) to the connec­tor marked LNB 2 (B).

• Then, connect the antenna cable to the connector marked OUT on the
switch.

• Connect the other end of this cable to the ANTENNA input at the rear of
the Mediamaster.

For each LNB that you connect to the DiSEqC switch, the following
configuration has to be carried out.

As an example, the following section will describe how the LNB intended

for ASTRA will be configured for DiSEqC input 1 (A) on the switch and the LNB
intended for HOTBIRD will be configured for DiSEqC input 2 (B).

Switch port

Select the input for each LNB that will be connected. In this example, the
DiSEqC 1 input is selected first.

LNB type

Select the correct LNB type for your configuration, e.g. “Universal”.

LNB Offset voltage

If the cable from any of the LNB’s is very long, it might be necessary to in­crease the voltage to these LNB’s by 0.5 V.
In most cases nothing needs to be altered here. Leave the default value as
“0 V”. If the switch does not change between horizontal and vertical polari­sation, the voltage to an LNB can be increased later. Increase the voltage if
an LNB does not change polarisation.

Satellite

In this example, select ASTRA because its LNB is connected to the DiSEqC
1 input on the switch.

Predefined channel

Select one of the predefined channels and adjust the antenna until a TV pic­ture from the predefined channel is visible on the screen.

•Press opt to view the predefined channel.
Repeat this procedure for the second DiSEqC port, but this time select 2 from

“Switch port” and HOTBIRD as the satellite.
When the configuration of both DiSEqC ports has been completed, press se-
lect. A confirmation that the DiSEqC ports have been configured will show
up. You can now start searching for channels.

•Press select to carry out the channel search procedure.
Please refer to the “Channel search” section on page 19.

GB 16

First time installation

Motor antenna configuration

If you have an antenna motor to control your satellite antenna you must configure
the following settings.

•From the “Antenna/Satellite selection” menu select option 3 “Motor Antenna
Configuration” and press select.

Type of motor

• Select SATSCAN (ASTRA) if you have a Nokia SatScan motor.

•Select DiSEqC (Hotbird) if the motor that you have is controlled by DiSEqC com­mands.

LNB type

• Select the correct LNB type for your configuration, e.g. “Universal”.

LNB offset voltage

If the cable from the antenna is very long, the voltage to the LNB could be too
low to change the polarisation. You can increase the voltage to the LNB by 0.5 V.

Predefined ASTRA-/HOTBIRD-channel

• Select one of the predefined channels and adjust the antenna until a TV pic­ture from the predefined channel is visible on the screen.

Adjusting the motor for ASTRA/HOTBIRD

To continue the installation you must now determine the angle to
ASTRA 1 or HOTBIRD. The motor and the antenna must be adjusted to­wards the ASTRA 1 satellites at 19.2° East or HOTBIRD satellites at 13°
East as this is the reference setting. All other pre-programmed satellite
positions are oriented relative to ASTRA 1 or Hotbird.

You must also mount the antenna in a suitable location outdoors.

For more information, please read the separate installation instructions
for the SatScan or DiSEqC positioner.

East and West limit set-up

Note! You only have to set one or both of these limits if the antenna is prevented

from reaching its East/West limit positions. This could be the case,for example, if
the antenna is mounted too close to a wall or in any similar situation.

To set these limits, adjust the antenna using the cursor left/cursor right button.

•Firstly, move the antenna to the east limit.

• Then move the antenna to the west limit.

•Press select to confirm all settings and carry out the channel search procedure.

GB 17

First time installation

Remove limits

If you need to remove the limits.
When you activate this command, the motor will turn itself to the 0° (Zero) posi-

tion.
However, the next time you select a channel, the motor will turn to its proper

position.

Channel search

The Channel search procedure can be carried out in five different ways.
The menu will look different depending on what option you selected in the

“Antenna/satellite selection” menu.
If you selected “One antenna/one LNB configuration”, select “Automatic”,

“Manual” or “Advanced Manual” search, or “Use predefined channels”.
If you selected “Multisatellite/DiSEqC switch configuration” or “Motor an-

tenna configuration” you also indicate which satellite you wish to search from,
using the cursor left/cursor right button.

a button. If not, replace both batteries.

Contact your dealer or Service Pro­vider. They will help you set it up
again.

Try to update the software.

Check the cable connections, LNB,
and other equipment that is connected
to the LNB and the receiver, or adjust
the dish.

Disconnect the mains cable. When
you reconnect it, the Mediamaster will
try to download new software from
the satellite. Try to update the system
software via serial cable connection.
Contact your dealer.

In case your problem with Mediamaster does not match any of the above mentioned situations and you cannot
solve it accordingly, try the following instructions:

Unplug and then plug in the mains cable.

1) If Mediamaster starts normally and works correctly, this is all you have to do.

2) When reconnected, the green LEDs blink one at a time. Wait! Keep the receiver connected to the mains outlet and the
antenna. Mediamaster is trying to update the system software from a satellite. This may take thirty minutes.

3) If the receiver starts but you cannot enter the Settings/Reinstall through the Navi Bars, activate Reinstall by pressing
all three buttons on the receiver front panel and keeping them down for three seconds. Note that Reinstall will reset ALL
your previous settings and favorite lists. If you have tried all of the above actions without solving the problem, please
contact your dealer or Service Provider.
