UNPACKING

Ensure that the following items are included with the Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD):

1 x Remote Control Unit (RCU) 2 x AAA Batteries 1 x Flylead 1 x Mains Cable 1 x User Manual (Operating Instructions)

SAFETY

This decoder exceeds International Safety Standards. Please read the following recommended safety precautions carefully.

PREF ACE

This manual provides full information on how to use the decoder and enjoy the benefits of all its features.

The decoder is easy to use, even for those users unfamiliar with, or intimidated by, modern technology. The more advanced and more complex features can be avoided until you become comfortable with the basic operation of the system.

The manual provides:

# Important safety precautions; please study them. # Overview material; read only those parts that interest you. It is

not necessary to study the manual from cover to cover before using the decoder.

MAINS SUPPLY: 98-265 V AC 50 Hz ONLY. LIQUIDS: Keep liquids away from the decoder. CLEANING: Before cleaning, disconnect the decoder from the wall

socket. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water (no solvents) to clean the exterior.

VENTILATION: Do not block the decoder ventilation holes. Ensure that free airflow is maintained around the decoder. NEVER stand the decoder on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not use or store the decoder where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater. Never stack other electronic equipment on top of the decoder.

ATTACHMENTS: Do not use any attachment that is not recommended by the manufacturer, as it may cause a hazard or damage the equipment.

CONNECTION TO THE SATELLITE DISH LOW NOISE BLOCK (LNB): The LNB connector cable has a voltage on its centre core. It

is therefore recommended that the decoder is disconnected from the mains power before connecting or disconnecting this cable. FAILURE

TO DO SO COULD DAMAGE THE LNB. SERVICING: Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Any

attempt to do so will make the warranty invalid. Refer all servicing to a qualified service agent.

LIGHTNING: If the decoder is installed in an area subject to intense lightning activity, protection devices for the decoder mains connector and modem telephone line are essential. The individual manufacturer’s instructions for safeguarding other equipment, such as TV set, Hi-Fi, etc., connected to the decoder, must also be followed during lightning storms.

EARTHING: The earth of the LNB cable MUST BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED to the system earth for the satellite dish. The earthing system must comply with local regulations.

Refer to the Installation Indemnity on pagexx .

# Step-by-step instructions on how to use the decoder and its

advanced features.

# Step-by-step instructions on how to install the decoder and

connect it to basic sound and TV systems. It is beyond the scope of this manual to include all of the possible configurations or installation procedures.

# Troubleshooting guide to assist you if you have difficulty with

operating the decoder correctly, or if technical problems occur.

The operation of the decoder can be upgraded using over-the-air signals (typically in the morning). This manual and the menus downloaded in the decoder are therefore subject to change at any time.

This document and the information contained herein are the subject of copyright and intellectual property rights under international convention. All rights are reserved. No part of this document may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form by any means, electronic, mechanical or optical, in a whole or in part, without the prior written permission of UEC Technologiesl (Pty) Ltd, the Manufacturer.

DIGITAL SATELLITE SERVICES

The decoder has been designed to receive and process digital signals from PAS4, and Nilesat101 satellites, which act as mirrors in the transmission process, beaming the Service Provider’s signals back to your satellite dish. Compared to conventional TV (analogue), digital technology presents higher quality pictures, sound comparable to that of a CD, and many more services.

Satellite technology also enables excellent reception of satellite TV services in remote rural areas where good quality terrestrial reception has never before been possible.

The term “Services” is used as well as “Channels” because compressed digital TV and audio technology efficiently uses available bandwidth, allowing several services to use the bandwidth of one channel.

In addition to the digital TV and audio signals, satellite signals also contain data that the decoder extracts, processes and stores. This provides up-to-date text information on the content and status of the various services at the touch of a button. Convenient facilities are also provided to manipulate received data in order to customise viewing and listening preferences.

Due to the nature of compressed digital TV, many more features will become available in the near future.

2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DSD 660

CONDITIONAL ACCESS

Although some satellite TV and audio services are free to air, most TV and audio services are only available on a subscription basis and can only be enjoyed via the conditional access components. These are the removable Smart Card and a built-in conditional access process already fitted into the system.

Smart Card

You should have purchased a Smart Card from the dealer when you purchased the decoder. The Smart Card looks similar to a credit card and is inserted into the slot behind the right-hand front flap of the decoder.

To insert the Smart Card, follow the instructions carefully. 1 Open the right hand flap on the front of the decoder (see

figure) Swing the flap downwards to expose the card slot to the right of the row of keys.

2 Hold the Smart Card horizontally with the logo on top and the

three arrows pointed towards the front of the card. Insert the card fully into the slot.

DECODER

A valid Smart Card entitles you to view and listen to all the services you choose to subscribe to. Full details of subscription options are supplied with the card.

Your subscription details are stored in the Smart Card.

Inserting the Smart Card

The Smart Card is the key to unlocking the decoder. The decoder will not decode scrambled TV or audio services if the card is not inserted or is incorrectly inserted.

Inserting the Smart Card into the decoder allows instant access to all the services you subscribe to.

The Smart Card is not required for access to menus. The Smart Card, which is supplied separately and forms part of your

subscription, is updated over-the-air when your subscription details change, for instance, each time you purchase additional products (details regarding these products will be announced in the future).

IRD Upgrade

Upgrades involve replacing the software (programs) in the decoder with improved software, adding more features and improving the existing operation of the decoder. This ensures that the decoder does not have to be replaced each time advances in technology occur. By replacing the software, you virtually get a new decoder.

Software upgrades normally take place automatically over-the-air. The decoder can be upgraded when it is in standby or while it is switched to a service. The decoder software cannot be upgraded if it is switched off at the mains. It is strongly recommended that your decoder is left in the standby mode when you are not using it.

The Mail Menu will usually warn you that a software upgrade will take place. Software upgrades usually take place in the early morning and last approximately 9 minutes, during which time normal satellite viewing is not possible.

A facility is provided whereby you can check if new software is available and you can then start the upgrade yourself. This is necessary if the decoder has not been upgraded over-the-air due to, for instance, prolonged power failures.

If, during an over-the-air download, the decoder fails to accept the download or freezes, a forced download can be performed as follows:

# On the decoder front panel carry out the following procedure:

- Press STANDBY, ª, «, STANDBY in sequence .

A rotating bar on the decoder display indicates that a download is taking place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If any problems are encountered when operating the decoder, make use of the following guidelines to assist in solving the problem. The decoder will automatically detect and diagnose many decoder and transmission related problems. Where possible, the errors will be communicated via messages on the TV screen and/or the decoder display panel.

Locate either the corresponding error number and message or the description of your problem in the troubleshooting table and follow the advice provided.

To upgrade the decoder software or check whether an upgrade is available, carry out the following:

1 Press MENU on the RCU.

The Main Menu options list is displayed.

2 On the RCU, press to highlight Advanced Options. 3 Press OK.

The Advanced Options Menu is displayed.

4 Press to highlight DSD Upgrade. 5 Press OK.

The Upgrade screen is displayed with the message “Checking for upgrade”. At this point, depending on whether an upgrade is available or not, one of the following two messages appears on your TV screen:

“Failure: no download found.”

or “The upgrade will take approximately X minutes. Press OK to continue or EXIT to cancel.”

(A download was found and it takes the specified amount of time to do the download).

If an upgrade is not available, the decoder will automatically return to the service.

6 If an upgrade is available but you do not wish to upgrade,

press EXIT to return to the previous menu.

If you have tried the appropriate remedy and still have difficulty in operating your decoder, please call the appropriate hot line.

7 If you wish to upgrade the decoder, press OK. A message is

displayed: “The upgrade is active and will take approximately X minutes.” After the download is completed, the decoder will automatically

return to the current service.

NOTES: Downloads may change installation settings to

DSD 660 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 25

default values. If the decoder does not work after a download, refer to Advanced Options page 22 and the values that should have been written down on page 30, to restore the system.

Downloads also change sort preferences. Refer to page 21 for help in restoring your preferences.
