ABOUT THE SMARTCARD AND CA MODULE

To be able to receive scrambled digital satellite channels you will
need a Smartcard and/or a Common Interface CA (Conditional Ac­cess) module * from the Service Provider of your choice.

The Service Provider is the programme distributor.

If you are subscribing to services from more than one Service
Provider, you might have to change between different Smart­cards and/or CA modules.

Please note that a Smartcard and CA module may only be valid
for a single Service Provider and due to this, a specific range of
channels.

The Smartcard and the CA module may also provide access to
special menus not described in this manual. If so, please follow
the instructions from the Service Provider.

Only ”free to air” channels are available without the Smartcard
and/or the CA Module.

Note: The Smartcard and/or the CA module are distributed by
your Service Provider.

After inserting the card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not
remove it again, unless your Service Provider asks you to do so.
This is important, because if your Service Provider wants to
download new information to the Smartcard, the card has to be
in the slot.

* Only use a DVB Standard Common Interface CA Module

Viaccess smartcard

Only for Pay-TV services coded with the Viaccess CA system.

• Insert your Smartcard fully into the left slot behind the lid of
the front panel of the Mediamaster. The gold chip should face

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

RF Modulator Type

If the Mediamaster is connected to the TV with a RF cable, you
must select the right RF modulator alternative, which is depend­ent on the country where the Mediamaster is being used.

Select “Normal (PAL B/G)” when the box is used outside the
UK.

Select “UK (PAL I)” when the box is used inside the UK.

If you get picture but no sound, the RF modulator selection might
be wrong.

Antenna/Satellite Selection

Select one of the alternatives from line 1 to 4 if you have a sin­gle antenna equipped with one LNB for receiving signals from
either ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR.

Select one of the alternatives from line 5 or 6 if you have one
antenna with two LNBs or two antennas with one LNB on each
for receiving signals from the combination ASTRA/HOTBIRD or
THOR/SIRIUS. In these cases you also need a DiSEqC switch.

For any other antenna/LNB combination, select alternative 7.

Alternatives 1-6 requires the use of a Universal LNB(s.)

GB 13

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Antenna Adjustment and Signal Check

Pressing OK from the selected alternative in the previous menu
will display the Antenna Adjustment menu (shown to the right)
on the screen.

For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to
4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu.
When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the
marked channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select
another channel with the buttons.)

1 Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have

a high value on the Signal Strength (AGC) *) indicator (the red
bar at the top of the menu.)

2 When the antenna is correctly positioned towards the satel-

lite and the signal strength is as good as possible, press OK.

If you have found a digital signal you should then normally get
a picture from the marked channel.

3 The bar at the top of the menu will now change to a red/yel-

low/green Signal Quality (SNR) *
channel.

If you do not get a picture, you may be tuned to an analogue sig­nal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is po­sitioned towards the wrong satellite.
Press the BACK button and start from point 1 again.

The reason could also be that the marked channel is not trans­mitting at the moment. If so, select one of the other prepro­grammed channels in the “Signal Quality” menu with the
buttons.

When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Media­master automatically starts searching for and downloads chan­nels from the satellite. Please refer to page 22.

Line 7 on the Antenna Satellite Selection
Menu

This selection is necessary only if your satellite choice differs
from the preprogrammed satellite alternatives (line 1-4) in the fol­lowing ways; if you do not use a universal LNB or when you have
more than two LNB’s.
You also must select this alternative when your antenna is con­trolled by motor (ref. to page 18.)

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Multisatellite/DiSEqC switch configuration

Select this alternative if your antenna system has more than one
LNB and when you not use any of the alternatives Astra/Hotbird

or Thor/Sirius from the menu “Antenna/satellite selection” on
page 13.

You can connect up to 4 LNBs. The selection of the different LNBs
must be controlled by an external switch. Refer to page 15, “Con­nection of a DiSEqC switch.”

For each LNB you connect to the DiSEqC switch, the fol­lowing configuration has to be performed.

As an example the following part will describe how the LNB in-

tended for Astra 2A will be configured to the DiSEqC input 1 (A)
on the switch and the LNB intended for Eutelsat W2 to DiSEqC
input 2 (B).

Switch type and port

Here you select the input for each LNB that will be connected.
In this specific example, the DiSEqC 1 input will be selected first.

LNB type

Select “Universal” or the local oscillator (L. O.) frequency valid
for the connected LNB.

LNB Offset voltage

If the cable down 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 has to be altered here. Leave the default
value “0 V” as it is. If the switch does not change between hori­zontal and vertical polarization, the voltage to a LNB can be in­creased later.

Increase the voltage:

a. only if a LNB does not change polarization
b. only to the specific LNB mentioned in a. above

Satellite

In this example, select Astra 2A 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 as
described on page 14, “Antenna adjustment and signal check”.
Before you can continue, a TV picture from the predefined chan­nel must be visible in the background.

When you do have a picture and press OK to continue, you re­ceive a confirmation on the TV screen that the configuration of
the DiSEqC 1 input is ready. You will also be asked if you want to
configure another DiSEqC input. (Continue on the next page.)

GB 17

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

In this case also the input for the Eutelsat W2 satellite shall be
configured, so press OK. This means that the same procedure
as for Astra 2A has to be repeted. But this time select DiSEqC 2
from “Switch type and port” and Eutelsat W2 as the satellite.

When the configuration of DiSEqC 2 is ready, press OK. A con­firmation that also DiSEqC 2 is finished will show up.
As no more input is to be configured, now it is time to start
searching for channels from the Astra 2A and Eutelsat W2 satel­lites.

The channel search procedure is started by pressing the BACK
button. Please refer to the “Channel search” part on page 22.

Antenna Motor

In case you have an antenna motor to control your satellite an­tenna you have to make the following settings.

• From the “Antenna/Satellite Selection” menu select line 7 (re­fer to page 13) and press OK.

• Select line 3, “Motor Antenna Configuration” and press OK.

Type of motor

• Select SATSCAN if it is a Nokia SatScan motor.

• Select DiSEqC in case the motor you use is controlled by

DiSEqC commands.

LNB type

• Select Universal, one of the fixed frequencies or enter the LNB
frequency with the numeric buttons on the remote control.

LNB Offset Voltage

If the cable down from the antenna is very long, the voltage at
the LNB could be too low to change the polarization. You can in­crease the voltage to the LNB by 0,5 Volt.

GB 18

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Adjust Motor for ASTRA

To continue the installation you now have to determine
the angle to ASTRA 1. The motor and the antenna must
be adjusted towards the ASTRA 1 satellites on 19,2
East as this is the reference setting. All other prepro­grammed satellite positions are oriented relative to
ASTRA 1.

You also have to mount the antenna at a proper place
outdoors.

General Information

The following describes the basic functions of your Mediamaster
while watching satellite TV or listening to satellite radio.

Some of the functions described here are dependent on the
Service Provider and can only be used if they are included in
the transmitted programme information.

Please note, that during the Channel Search procedure, the

Mediamaster may download a large number of channels. This
may include channels from various Service Providers, also those
to which you do not have access unless you have a Smartcard
from one of those Service Providers.

If you select a programme to which you do not have access, you
will get a message on the screen. This message may vary, de­pending on Service Provider and used Smartcard/CA Module.

While viewing, the current channel number will be shown on the
front panel display.

In addition to the normal functions like switching the Media­master in/out of stand-by, changing the volume etc. there are

Important Information

Wiring the plug (UK and Eire only)

The mains lead on this product is already fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 of the same rating
fuse must be used.

If the fuse cover is detachable, always refit the cover after replacing the fuse.
NEVER use the plug with the fuse cover omitted.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off, after hav­ing first removed the fuse, and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If this new plug
contains a fuse, its value should be the same as that removed from the non-rewireable
plug.

The severed plug must be destroyed immediately to avoid possible shock hazard.
If you need to replace the mains plug, follow the instructions given below:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE - Neutral (N): BROWN - Live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the ter­minals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N
or coloured BLUE or BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter
L or coloured BROWN or RED.

On no account should either of these wires be connected to the terminal marked E or
coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the
sheath of the lead: not simply over the two wires.

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
