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 services coded with the Viaccess CA system.

• Insert your Viaccess smartcard fully into the left slot behind the lid of the front panel of the Mediamaster. The gold chip should face downwards and inwards.

• 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.

Satellite

Select Astra if you have a SatScan motor and Hotbird if you have a DiSEqC motor.

Adjust motor for Astra/Hotbird

To continue the installation you now have to determine the angle to Astra 1/Hotbird. The motor and the antenna must be adjusted towards the Astra 1 satellites on 19.2

East (Hotbird satellites on 13° East) as this is the refer-

ence setting. All other preprogrammed satellite positions are oriented relative to Astra 1/Hotbird.

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

How to do all this, please read the separate fitting instructions for the SatScan or DiSEqC positioner.

Predefined channel

Select the predefined channel that will give the best Signal quality (SNR) bar indication. Within a few seconds you will get picture from the channel in the background.

Adjust motor

• If necessary, fine tune the motor with the buttons on the remote control.

As you now have a picture in the background, it is time to perform a Channel search procedure.

• Press OK......

....and you will get the Channel search menu.

The most common is to start from the “Automatic search” line. (You can always make a Manual or Advanced Search later on.)

• Select the satellite you want to use on the Automatic Search line, for example Astra.

• Press OK......

.......and you get the Antenna adjustment menu.

• If necessary, adjust the motor until the Signal strength (AGC) and the Signal quality (SNR) are optimal. Please note, that this will only affect the present satellite position.

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 have downloaded 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 standby, changing the volume etc. there are also other useful functions which will be explained in this part of the manual.

You can always leave a menu at any time you want, without affecting any settings, by pressing the EXIT button.

List of TV and radio channels

At the channel search procedure, three channel lists are created. One list named “All TV” containing all channels, another named “Free TV” containing only free channels and “Viasat” containing channels distributed by Viasat.

In the “All TV” list scrambled channels are marked with a picture of a Smartcard (if this information is transmitted in the signal) and locked channels are marked with a padlock. If you have performed a new channel search, the new channels found will be marked with a star

When viewing TV or listening to radio channels you can access the channel list by pressing OK. The lists are sorted by satellite, network and channel.

At the top of the menu you will see the name of the list. The current list is the one in which the channel you are watching right now is located.

Recording on an external analogue Video recorder

Please note, that during the recording of a programme, everything shown on the screen will be registered! For example, if you

call up a menu from the Mediamaster on the screen, the menu will be recorded!

When recording digital channels from the Mediamaster and the Videorecorder is connected with a SCART cable: put the video into AV/AUX or E1 mode.

When recording digital channels from the Mediamaster and the Videorecorder is connected with a RF cable: you must give the Mediamaster an own position number on the video. (The same way as you probably already have given e.g. SVT1 and other channels their own positions.)

Recording from the hard disk to a video recorder

You can also transfer recordings made on the hard disk to the videorecorder. Select a recording made on the hard disk and start the playback of it. Depending how the boxes are connected, via a SCART or RF cable, you now can make a recording on the videorecorder .

HARD DISK RECORDING

About hard disk recording

As you probably already know this box is equipped with a built in Personal Active Disc. This is a hard disk, similar to those in ordinary Personal Computers (PCs). On this hard disk it is possible to record about 15-20 hours of TV and radio programmes.

To get the most out of the disk recording procedure, follow these simple tips to keep the disk well prepared for coming recordings. In this way you will avoid messages on the screen saying things like “Time available: Less than 1 hour” 5 seconds before you want to make a two hour recording from a live performance of your favourite pop group; or “The current recording was stopped because there was not enough space on the disk”. As we all know, those messages always appear when we least want them to.

• Make a practice to clean the disk from recordings that are no

longer needed.

• Recordings that you want to keep, you can transfer to a tradi-

tional analogue Video Recorder. Recordings made to the built in disk can not be digitally transferred to an external hard disk.

• A good thing to do now and then, is to erase everything from

the disk (select “Erase hard disk” from the “System Configuration” menu.) But remember, absolutely everything will be erased.

• We suggest that you spend some time testing all functions un-

til you get familiar with them. This will save you a lot of frustration when the moment for making and watching a recording becomes reality. After the practice you can just erase the disk and it will be ready to start from scratch.

It is important for you to also be aware of the following facts concerning the hard disk recording

• Only the channel whose number is shown in the display on the

box can be recorded. This means, that you can not watch e.g. channel 4 and record e.g. channel 8 at the same time.

• A big benifit that the built in hard disk possess, but the ana-

logue video recorder lacks, is the possibility for you to start

watching the playback of a programme while the recording of the same programme is still in progress. This possi-

bility is utilized at the “Pause recording” procedure which is described further on in this manual.

• Note! Pause recordings will not work if you are watching

a programme ordered via KIOSK (Canal Digital’s pay-perview).

• CAUTION! Unauthorized recording of TV programmes or

other material may infringe the copyright and be contrary to the copyright laws.

Different ways of making recordings

There are three ways of making a recording. In this manual they are separated in the following way:

1 A Pause recording

This function is useful when you make a break while watching TV. We will describe how this function can be used when you get a phone call.

2 A Normal recording

Spontaneously start a recording at any time you want. As you will see, the procedure differs a bit from the Pause recording. Please try not to mix them, because if you do, it might lead to some confusion.

3 A Timer recording

Use the Timer function to record programmes automatically when you are not at home.

Locked functions during recording

Most functions are locked when a recording is in progress. It is not possible to call up any other than the recording menu. If you try, you will get the message “You can not do this as long as the disk is active”. The only functions that are active during a recording in progress, except the different alternatives in the recording menu, are volume, mute and TV release.

It is possible to watch another recorded program during a pause recording.

GB 29

HARD DISK RECORDING

The Pause ( ) Recording

To describe this, let us say that the phone starts to ring while you are watching TV. You do not want to miss anything of the programme, so you decide to make a pause recording. To start it you only have to press two buttons on the remote control.

• First, call up the recording menu by pressing

• Then, start the pause recording by pressing OK.

• The picture will freeze and the sound will be turned off at the

moment the recording starts.

• Answer the phone.

During a pause recording the menu looks like the one in the figure to the right.

• At the very bottom of the menu there will be a bar showing

the total time of the recording.

• Above the bar, “Pause” indicates that a pause recording is go-

ing on.

• Above it, there are two time counters, separated by a / (slash.)

The right counter will continuously show the recorded time in hours, minutes and seconds. (The left one will be explained later on.)

• The recording menu will automatically disappear after about

5 minutes.

• When you start a pause recording, the display on the box will

change to indicate “PAUS” instead of the channel number.

To watch the pause recording

Now, 10 minutes later, when you return after having finished the phone call, the situation is like this:

• A frozen picture on the TV and no sound. That is all.

Of course, you now would like to watch the pause recording that contains your missing 10 minutes.

• You start the playback of the pause recording by first pressing

(to pick up the menu) and then press OK. Of course, if the

menu still is visible when you return, you only have to press

OK.

Now it is important for you to be aware of the fact that the recording is still in progress. It has not yet been turned off.

Therefore the right counter will show an increasing recording time. But this is quite all right. We let you know how and when it is time to turn it off.

GB 30

HARD DISK RECORDING

What is happening during playback of a pause recording that is still in progress?

When the playback starts, a few other things also happen at the same time.

• Although the pause recording is still going on, the display now

will start to show “PLAY” instead of “PAUS”.

• The text at the bottom of the recording menu now will start

to show “Playing” instead of “Pause”.

• At this moment, when you start a playback, the left counter

starts to show elapsed time of the playback.

• The right counter continues to indicate recorded time.

• The bar at the bottom of the page will show elapsed time

(green) and total time (red).

Now let us stop for a moment and analyse the situation. What is happening? As a matter of fact, two different things are now in progress simultaneously:

• The pause recording is still going on,

• and you are watching the playback of it, with 10 minutes de-

lay.

To finish this example of a pause recording

• Keep on watching the playback until the programme reaches

the end, for example after 5 minutes.

• The left counter will now show 5 minutes, which is the length

of the playback.

• The right counter will show 15 minutes because the record-

ing process has been going on all the time.

• Now you finish this pause recording by first pressing

up the recording menu to the screen, then

HARD DISK RECORDING

Save a recording as Erasable or Permanent

To avoid that a Pause or Normal recording will be erased, it is a good idea to change its property from erasable to Permanent.

Default property for a pause recording

When a pause recording is created, in the List of recordings it will

automatically get the extension (......Pause) at the end of its

name.

The number of pause recordings in the List of recordings will be kept constant to the limit you have defined in “Saved Pause Recordings”, ref. to page 52. In practice, this means that pause recordings are continuously erased to keep that limit.

Default property for a normal recording

A recording created the normal way has no extension. This means that it is erasable, but will remain on the disk until it is full. When the disk space is not enough for a new recording, also these recordings (without any extension) will be erased.

How to change the property to erasable or permanent

• Select a recording from the List of Recordings and press OK.

• Immediately below the name of the menu “Handle Record-

ing”, the current property for the recording is always visible.

• Step to line 6.

• By pressing the OK button you can now change the property

between erasable and permanent and vice versa. The valid property will immediately be visible below the “Handle recording” name. The text “Perm.” within the brackets means Permanent, and no text means Erasable.

The event property of a recording will always be shown here.

Summarize

A recording can have one of the following three characteristics:

1 A pause recording will always be automatically erased in or-

der not to exceed the value you once have decided. This type of recording has the extension “Pause” at the end of its name in the List of recordings.

Recording preferences

Changes made here will be the new default settings and will affect recordings made to the disk.

Make new recordings

The settings made here will affect Normal and Timer recordings only. Pause recordings are always erasable.

Recordings with the Erasable property will automatically be erased in order to make space for new recordings. Refer to line 6, “Erase before record (hours)”.

If you select Permanent you can only erase recordings manually. This means, that if you fill up the disk with Permanent recordings, no new recordings can be made until you clean the disk from at least some of them. This could mean the difference between success and disaster when you e.g. make a Timer recording.

The default and also recommended setting is Erasable.

Saved pause recordings

If you select e.g. 10, there will never be more than 10 pause recordings stored at the same time on the disk. For every new pause recording you make, the oldest of them will automatically

be erased.

Please note, that this will only affect pause recordings, not the “normal” recordings. Pause recordings have the word Pause as an extension at the end of the line in the “List of recordings”. See the figure to the right.

Subtitles

Select “Yes ” if you want the subtitles in e.g. a movie to be recorded, or “No” if not.

Repeat playing

Normally you would want a playback to stop when it has reached its end. If so, select “No”.

If you want the playback to automatically restart every time the end is reached, select “Yes”.

Stop recording

While a Pause recording (not a normal recording) is still in progress you can start the playback of it (= start watching it). In the playback mode it is possible to use the “fast forward” function in order to catch up the live part of the programme. When you do that, and you reach the end of the recording, one of the two following things will occur.

• If you select “Yes”, which is the default setting, on line 5, :

When the end of the recording is reached by “fast forward” , the recording will automatically stop and the live programme will be shown.

GB 52

MAIN MENU

• If you select “No” on line 5:

A few seconds before the live programme is caught up, the “fast forward” will slow down to normal speed. Due to the fact that the recording is still going on, you will now still be watching the recorded programme, but with just a few seconds delay from the live version. However, in this situation you can stop the recording manually to watch the programme live instead.

Erase before record (hours)

Select how many hours you want to be automatically erased from the disk each time a new recording is about to start. Only erasable recordings will be deleted.

When you get a message saying that it is not possible to erase the requested time, it is high time to clean up the disk.

Note, that the settings here are highly associated with the following subject, about Type of programme.

Type of programme

Different types of programmes will take up more or less space on the disk when they are recorded. A recording of e.g. a pop programme where one billion different colours will explode on the screen each and every second (or any other programme with high activity) will take considerable more disk space than e.g. the latest news read to you aloud from the local TV studio.

Be aware that settings made in this menu has nothing to do with, and does not affect, the recording quality.

High does not mean that the recording quality is set to high and Low is not the same as low recording quality.

You must rather look upon this function as an assistance for the box to estimate the free recording space (in hours) available on the disk. This estimated time will be shown as “Time available” in the “List of recordings”. The function also affects the previous subject “Erase before record (hours)”.

The four alternatives are:

High: For programme types with very high activity contents.

Normal: This corresponds to most programme types. It is there-

fore the default setting.

Low: For programme types such as news broadcast and

similar.

Radio: For recording of programmes when the box is in Ra-

dio mode.

It is not necessary to make changes in this menu every time you are going to make a recording. You should select one of the alternatives that corresponds to the type of recordings you most frequently make.

As long as you always keep the disk almost clean, settings in this menu are less important. But as the disk is running out of space the settings will be more and more important.

GB 53

MAIN MENU

The following extreme example

will show what might happen when the setting does not correspond with the reality, and the disk is getting filled up.

You are going to visit a concert, but do not want to miss the football championship that will be shown during your visit. You intend to watch it when you come back home. A Timer recording is perfect in this case. You are as usual in a hurry and just throw an eye at “Time available” in the “List of Recordings “. It will let you know that “Approx. 3 hours” are available. Good! More than enough.

As soon as you return back home you start the playback and everything is OK in 6 minutes and 12 seconds. That is when the playback ends. We will skip your comments and instead find out what went wrong. As you are a music lover and often record music, the setting in this case was Radio. It should have been set to High instead.

Conclusion: Keep the disk clean and pay some attention to settings from this menu.

General

You can program the Mediamaster to start and stop at a predefined time.

The function is very useful when you want to record a programme and you are unable to start/stop the recording event yourself. Or when you just want to be reminded of the start of a programme you do not want to miss.

A programme that already has been started by this Timer function will lock the box. The display on the box will indicate “t x” (where x is the channel number) while you are watching a programme you have been reminded to watch. During a digital recording event the display will show “r E C”.

You can not change channels or call up a menu until the stop time is reached. However, you can interrupt the event (e.g. stop a recording) by pressing the MENU button (about 5-10 seconds) until a channel number appears in the display. Please note, that this is the only way to stop a recording that has started (apart from pulling the plug from the mains, which is not to recommend.)

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.
