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.

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)” for all other countries than the
United Kingdom.
Select “UK (PAL I)” for 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 5 if you have a single antenna equipped with one LNB for receiving signals from
either NILESAT, HOTBIRD, ASIASAT, ARABSAT or PANAMSAT.
Select the alternative from line 6 if you have one antenna with
two LNBs or two antennas with one LNB on each for receiving
signals from the combination NILESAT/HOTBIRD. 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.)
Common Menus
The Antenna Adjustment description on the next page will show
you how to proceed from any of the alternatives in the menu
above. The procedure may be summarized as:
• First: Adjust the antenna to the right satellite.
• Second: Check the picture quality from a preprogrammed
channel.
• Third: Start the Channel Search procedure.
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. NILESAT, HOTBIRD, ASIASAT, ARABSAT
or PANAMSAT), 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) *
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) *) indicator for that specific
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 18.
