About Installing Satellites

Up to 4 Satellites

You can install up to 4 satellites (4 LNBs) on this TV.
Select the exact number of satellites you wish to
install at the start of the installation. This will speed up
the installation.

Unicable

You can use a Unicable system* to connect the
antenna dish to the TV. You can select Unicable for
up to 4 satellites at the start of the installation.

* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2
(EN50607/JESS).

Start the Installation

Make sure your satellite dish is connected correctly
and is perfectly aligned before you start the
installation.

To start the satellite installation…

1 - Select Settings > Channels > Satellite
Installation and press OK. Enter your PIN code if

necessary.

2 - Select Search for Satellite and press OK.
3 - Select Search and press OK. TV will search for

satellites.
4 - Select Install and press OK. The TV shows the
current satellite installation setup.
If you want to change this setup, select Settings.
If you don't want to change the setup, select Search.
Go to step 5.

5 - In Installation System, select the number of
satellites you want to install or select one of the
Unicable systems. When you select Unicable, you
can choose the User Band Numbers and enter the
User Band Frequencies for each tuner. In some
countries, you can adjust some expert settings for
each LNB in More Settings.
6 - The TV will search for the satellites available on
the alignment of your antenna dish. This may take a
few minutes. If a satellite is found, its name and
reception strength are shown on screen.
7 - When the TV found the satellites you need,
select Install.
8 - If a satellite offers Channel Packages, the TV will
show the available packages for that satellite. Select

Satellite Installation Settings

The satellite installation settings are preset according
your country. These settings determine how the TV
searches and installs satellites and its channels. You
can always change these settings.

To change the satellite installation settings…

1 - Start the satellite installation.
2 - On the screen where you can start searching for

satellites, select Settings and press OK.
3 - Select the number of satellites you want to install
or select one of the Unicable systems. When you
select Unicable, you can choose the User Band

Homing Transponder and LNB

In some countries, you can adjust the expert settings
for homing transponder and each LNB. Only use or
change these settings when a normal installation fails.
If you have non-standard satellite equipment, you
can use these settings to overrule the standard
settings. Some providers might give you some
transponder or LNB valeus which you can enter here.

Satellite CAMs

If you use a CAM – a Conditional Access Module with
a smart card – to watch satellite channels, we
recommend to do the satellite installation with the
CAM inserted in the TV.

Most CAMs are used to descramble channels.
Newest generation CAMs can install all the satellite

channels by themselves on your TV. The CAM will
invite you to install its satellite(s) and channels. These
CAMs not only install and descramble the channels
but also handle regular channel updates.

Channel Packages

User Band Frequency

Satellite operators can offer channel packages that
bundle free channels (free-to-air) and offer a sorting
that suits a country. Some satellites offer subscription
packages - a collection of channels you pay for.

If you choose a subscription package, the TV might
ask you to select a Quick or Full installation.
Select Quick to install the channels of the package
only or select Full to install the package and all
other available channels too. We recommend a Quick
installation for subscription packages. If you have
additional satellites that are not part of your
subscription package, we recommend a Full
installation. All installed channels are put in the
channels list All.

Unicable Setup

The Unicable System

You can use a Single Cable system or Unicable
system* to connect the antenna dish to the TV. A
Single Cable system uses one cable to connect the
satellite dish to all satellite tuners in its system. A
Single Cable system is typically used in apartment
buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the TV will ask
you to assign a user band number and corresponding
frequency during the installation. You can install up to
4 satellites with Unicable on this TV.

If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable
installation, another installation might have been
done at the same moment on the Unicable system.
Do the installation again to install the missing
channels.

* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2
(EN50607/JESS).

Next to the unique user band number, the built-in
satellite receiver needs the frequency of the selected
user band number. These frequencies are mostly
shown next to the user band number on a Unicable
switchbox.

To start a channel update manually…

1 - Select Settings > Channels > Satellite
Installation and press OK.

2 - Select Search for Channels and press OK.
3 - Select Update Channels and press OK. The TV

4 - Follow the instructions on screen. The update
may take a few minutes.

5 - Select Finish and press OK.

Manual Installation

Manual Installation is intended for expert users.
You can use Manual Installation to quickly add new

channels from a satellite transponder. You need to
know the frequency and polarization of the
transponder. The TV will install all channels of that
transponder. If the transponder was installed before,
all its channels - the former and the new ones - are
moved to the end of the channel list All.
You cannot use Manual installation if you need to
change the number of satellites. If this is needed, you
have to do a complete installation with Install
Satellites.

User Band Number

In a Unicable system, each connected satellite tuner
must be numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3, etc.).

You can find the available user bands and their
number on the Unicable switchbox. User band is
sometimes shortened as UB. There are Unicable
switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If you select
Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for each built-in

About Connections

Connectivity Guide

Always connect a device to the TV with the highest
quality connection available. Also, use good quality
cables to ensure a good transfer of picture and
sound.

When you connect a device, the TV recognizes its
type and gives each device a correct type name. You
can change the type name if you wish. If a correct
type name for a device is set, the TV automatically
switches to the ideal TV settings when you switch to
this device in the Sources menu.

Antenna port

If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or
Recorder, connect the antenna cables to run the
antenna signal through the Set-top box and/or
Recorder first before it enters the TV. In this way, the
antenna and the Set-top box can send possible
additional channels to the Recorder to record.

All of the HDMI connections on the TV have HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel).

If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
soundbar or AV receiver, also has the HDMI ARC
connection, connect it to any of the HDMI
connections on this TV. With the HDMI ARC
connection, you do not need to connect the extra
audio cable that sends the sound of the TV picture to
the HTS. The HDMI ARC connection combines both
signals.

You can use any HDMI connection on this TV to
connect the HTS but ARC is only available for 1
device/connection at a time

HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an
advancement over the previous ARC. It covers all ARC
features but with higher bandwidth and speed. eARC
supports high quality audio transmission up to192kHz,
24-bit, uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel
uncompressed audio.

Note: HDMI eARC is only available on HDMI 2. Use
HDMI cable with Ethernet for eARC. Only 1 eARC
device is available at a time.

HDMI ports

HDMI Quality

An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound
quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition (HD)
TV signals.

For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.

If a device connected with HDMI is not working
correctly, check if a different HDMI Ultra HD setting
can solve this problem. In Help, press the colour
key  Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra HD.

Copy protection

Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection
signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc
or Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital
Rights Management).
