ABOUT THE SMARTCARD AND CA MODULE
To be able to receive terrestrial scrambled digital channels you will
need a Smartcard from the Service Provider, ”Senda”.
Senda is the the programme distributor.
Please note that a Smartcard may only be valid for a single Serv-
ice 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.
Note: The Smartcard is 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.
Subscription TV Services with a Smartcard
(Viaccess)
Only for subscription 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 downwards and inwards.

OK
Note!
The gold chip must be on
the underside and in-wards of the smartcard

INSTALLATION OF THE MEDIAMASTER
The box for your Mediamaster should contain the
following items:
• the Mediamaster
• a remote control with 2 AAA batteries
• a SCART lead (fully featured 1,0 metre)
• an aerial/RF lead (double screened 1,5 metres)
• a telephone modem cable (10 metres with a splitter)
• an Owner’s Manual
• a Software License agreement
About the SCART sockets
• The rear panel of the Mediamaster is equipped with 2 SCART
sockets (see diagram). When you connect other products
to any of these sockets, always use fully featured SCART
leads (as supplied).There are “less well specified” SCART
leads on the market and picture quality could be reduced if you
use them.

Preparing the Remote Control
• Remove the cover on the battery compartment at the bottom
of the remote control.
• Insert the 2 AAA (1,5 V) batteries, as shown in the diagram,
taking care to observe the + and - markings indicated inside.
• Replace the cover.
Connecting to the TV aerial
You can connect the Mediamaster to the following antennas:
1.Standard outdoor antenna
Where possible, use an outdoor roof antenna (UHF 21-69).
Please note the following:
• In some residential buildings, the communal roof-mounted
antenna includes a filter and channel selector. If so, the antenna will probably not work with the Mediamaster. Please
consult the property owner.
• Many older roof-mounted antennas can only receive a limited
number of channels. As a result, digital channels transmitted
on higher frequencies may be difficult to receive. The problem
can be solved by replacing the roof antenna.
GB 8
Page 8
• Certain outdoor antennas are pointed at an analogue slave
transmitter. The roof antenna should be pointed at a digital TV
transmitter.
• It is not always advisable to position the antenna as high as
possible. If problems arise, experiment with different antenna
heights. The same applies to analogue transmissions.
2. Indoor or window-mounted antenna
This type of antenna may be enough if the reception conditions
are very good. If an indoor antenna is used, please note the following:
• Use an antenna for UHF channels 21 - 69, such as a directional
antenna.
• The directional antenna should have horizontal polarisation
(preferably rotatable).
• Place the antenna by the window and point it towards the TV
transmitter, if possible.
• An antenna with an amplifier is recommended as it may provide a stronger signal.
• Attenuation of the TV signal varies according to the building
material. The signal penetrates thick stone or concrete walls
poorly. A window improves reception. However, a wooden
building is no barrier to digital TV signals.
About antennas
Radio and TV signals can be blocked by buildings, mountains and
the terrain. If the receiver is located in a depression in the ground,
behind a mountain or in a concrete building, the quality of reception may vary considerably.
Because the TV signal is amplified by reflections, reception is
often better than with analogue reception and “ghost” images
can be avoided. Reflection can even be used for reception by
pointing the antenna at a mountain or a high building, providing
that they do not block the transmitter.
As with analogue TV, weather can affect reception. This is the
case particularly at the edge of the reception area for digital transmissions.
