BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Open the battery cover by sliding the panel away from the body. Insert the two AA batteries (UM-3) into the battery compartment.
• To install the remote controller batteries,
i) Slide the panel away.
Battery precautions
The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which will corrode the remote control transmitter or cause the
batteries to explode. The following precautions must be observed carefully.
ii) Replace all batteries at the same time.
iii) Insert batteries with the correct polarity.
iv) Replace the panel.
Don’t mix battery types,
(alkaline and carbon zinc, etc.)
Note:
1. The remote control transmitter should be placed to avoid direct sunlight or heat.
2. Pressing more than two buttons at a time can lead to an incorrect command.
LOW NOISE BLOCK DOWN CONVERTER
• xhe receiver uses Low Noise Block Down Converters (C or Ku-Band LNB) for its microwave interface. The output frequency
range is 950 to 1450MH2. Power is supplied to the LNB via its output F connector.
Note:
The receiver is capable of supplying 18 V DC at 300 milliamps max from the input F connector.
• This is sufficient for one LNB and one Line Amplifier. The breakdown is shown below.
Line Amp (+20 dB)
LNB
If the line amp used only 25 milliamps, then four line amps can be used.

CONNECTIONS
CAUTION:
Inproper connection ot accessories (or connection to incompatible equipment) may damage your unit. All connections should
be made with the power supply unplugged.
[T| I CONNECTION OF OUTDOOR UNIT
• Insert the 25 PIN connector of the power supply [CRD-4500P], to the connector terminal located on the rear panel of
the satellite receiver tCRD-4500R] and tighten the locking screws.

PROGRAMMING AND OPERATIONS
1. General Information
The CRD-4500 is designed for automatic operation and simplified installation.
Pre-stored in the memory are the names, relative locations, format and frequency band of over 20 satellites with provisions
for storing 10 new satellites when they are launched into orbit.
The set-up mode is accomplishd using the remote controller with no programming controls located on the receiver. After Set-up,
it is extremely simple to change various settings from the remote controller without resorting to the set-up mode. AFC ON or
OFF, video fine tune, audio tuning, audio bandwidth, antenna fine positioning may all be changed from the remote controller
and are automatically stored in memory on a per-channel basis after adjustment.
Satellite selection, channel selection, and audio tuning may be done either by direct access using the 10 number buttons, or
by using the appropriate slew controls.

■ VideoCipher n Authorization
To view scrambled programming, you will need to be authorized from your local program supplier or contact the program
distributors directry. They will set up an account for you and authorize your unit to descramble selected channels.
You can obtain the program distributor’s telephone number by tuning your satellite receiver to the channel that you wish
to watch. Most services broadcast subscription information on audio subcarriers (usually 6.8 MHz). Some VideoCipher II
channels will display a subscription phone number on the screen when your tune them in.
Your program distributor will need your address number, which can be read off your TV screen by pressing a few buttons
on the remote controller.
D] Getting Authorized
1. Turn your TV satellite system ON.
2. Use your program guide to check which satellite and channel has the VideoCipher II service that you wish to subscrible to.

43/41 is not. Maximum strength is 50. Dish alignment and
weather conditions can affect the VideoCipher signal
strength.
Some VideoCipher II channels may require video fine
tuning to improve picture quality and reduce the channel
lockup time.
