ABOUT THE SMART CARD AND CA MODULE

General

To be able to receive scrambled digital channels you will need a
CA module and a smart card from a service provider.

There are a few different CA modules on the European market.
Each one of the CA modules support a certain kind of encryption
system. The Mediamaster supports CA modules which are made
to work according to the DVB standard. Depending on the chan­nels you want to watch, your local dealer will provide you with
the right type of CA module.

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

The smart card and the CA module may cause special menus,
not described in this manual, to appear. Follow the instructions
from the Service Provider.

Note: CA modules and smart cards are only distributed by serv­ice providers and special distributors, not by Nokia.

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

Only a Viaccess smart card provided by Viasat can be used
in the right slot.

Inserting the CA module with a smart card

In the left slot you can use a CA module and a smart card
(also Viaccess smart card) from a service provider of your
own choice.

DiSEqC 2 Input Switch

Select this alternative if your antenna system has two (2) LNB:s
and a 2-way DiSEqC switch.

In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external
switch since 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 better known as a DiSEqC™ switch. Since
the switch can be located close to the LNBs, you only need one
cable down to the Mediamaster.

Typical connection of a two-way DiSEqC switch:

• Connect the cable from the LNB intended for channels from
the THOR satellite to the connector marked LNB 1 (A for mini
DiSEqC) on the switch.

• Connect the cable from the SIRIUS satellite to the connector
marked LNB 2 (B for mini DiSEqC).

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

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

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 Thor will be configured to the DiSEqC input 1 (A) on
the switch and the LNB intended for Sirius to DiSEqC input 2 (B).

DiSEqC switch with 2 inputs

GB 17

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Switch 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 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 has to be altered here. Leave the default
value “0 V” as it is. If the switch does not change between hori­zontal and vertical polarisation, the voltage to a LNB can be in­creased later. Increase the voltage only if an LNB does not change
polarisation.

Satellite

In this example, select Thor 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 you have a TV picture from the predefined channel visible
in the background.

Go through the same procedure for the second DiSEqC port.
But this time select 2 from “Switch port” and Sirius as the sat­ellite.

•When the configuration of both DiSEqC ports are ready, press
OK to continue to the channel search procedure. Please refer
to page 19.

DiSEqC 4 Input Switch

Select this alternative if your antenna system has four LNB:s .

The selection of the different LNBs must be controlled by an
external switch. Refer to page 17.

The procedure is the same as for two port DiSEqC, but you have
to configure four LNBs the same way as described on page 17-

18.

Connection of a four port DiSEqC switch:

The following is an example of how you can connect 4 LNBs if
you want to watch channels from ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS and
THOR.

Connect the LNBs to the switch the following way:

•the LNB intended for THOR to input 1

•SIRIUS to input 2

• HOTBIRD to input 3

• ASTRA to input 4

The output marked OUT on the switch shall be connected to the
ANTENNA input on the Mediamaster.
