CONNECTIONS a Connect the Polariser
Signais from a satellite are transmitted with different polarisations.
J
There are 4 kinds of polarisation:
Direct Broadcast Satellites DBS (TV satellites like TDF, TV SAT and TELE-X)
transmit with circular polarisation:
Left hand circular = L, or Right hand circular = R.
All other satellites (such as ASTRA) transmit with linear polarisation:
Horizontal = H, or Vertical = V.
For proper reception, you may need a device called a Polariser which is
located in the LNC assembly of your dish antenna. This depends on what
type of dish antenna you have.
If you have a Mechanical Polariser, connect the 3 small leads from your
antenna cable to the Polariser connectors on the back of your Satellite
Receiver:
O the dark lead to GND (coloured Green)
O the red lead to +5V — (coloured Red)
O the white lead to -ru (pulse - coloured White)
If you have an Electro-magnetic Polariser, connect the 2 small leads from
your antenna cable to the polariser connectors on the back of your Receiver:
O the dark lead to the right hand Yellow connector
O the red lead to the left hand Yellow connector
Aim your dish
Consult the Satellite Programme Guide in the back of this manual and choose
a programme number on the satellite at which you will aim your dish.
Now finalise installing your dish following the instructions supplied with the
dish. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory picture, see section 6 ‘FAULT
FINDING’.

enter the frequency using the numeric keys. For example, for a programme on
the frequency of 11.214GHz, simply press the 1,1,2,1,4 keys.
Note : if LNC1 is seiected the frequencies aliowed will be dependant on the number stored in
the LNC1 frequency option. ( See section "INSTALLATION MENU ",LNC 1)
2. POLARITY
The correct polarity must be assigned to each programme. This receiver can
utiiise Mechanicai and Eiectro-Magnetic types of polarisers, but if you wish to
use a voilage switching type of LNC, you must have seiected VOLT on the
polariser option. (See section 'Instailation Menu'.)
Voltage Switching
LNC’s that automaticaily select horizontal or vertical polarity depending upon
the voilage supplied to the LNC, ensure a value of 18 volts for horizontal
polarity and 14 voits for vertical polarity. These values are not adjustable and
are indicated by the ietter H or V on the screen.
The Electro-Magnetic Polariser
Horizontai and verticai, right hand circular and left hand circular settings are
not indicated as such in this menu, but as a value in the range of 0-63.

Channels will be reset to the new H-pol or V-pol Base setting. Press VIEW In case you decide
not to make any alterations after you have already adapted some parameters.
3. BASEBAND
The baseband output is used to feed an external decoder. This signal falls into
two main categories, PAL or MAC. This option aliows you to switch the
baseband output, provided by the DECODER/DESCRAMBLER socket, to be
either filtered for a PAL decoder or flat for a MAC decoder.
4. AV SOURCE
The Audio and Video source can be seiected from four options:
INT - internal audio and video. In this mode, any external decoder will be
ignored.
AUTO - The default option for most programmes is AUTO so that, if a
decoder providing the correct control signal is used, this decoder wiil be
selected automatically when selecting this programme.
EXT V - Select this option if your decoder only treats the video of an
encrypted programme.
EXT AV- Select this option if your decoder treats both audio and video of an
encrypted programme. This option may have to be selected with some
decoders that do not function if you have seiected AUTO.
Note: If you select EXT V or EXT AV without a decoder fitted, the picture will disappear.
J
5. DECODER
This option is dependant on the setting of the AV source above.
if AV-source is AUTO, this question wiil be ignored.
If AV-source is INT, you can choose between NONE (normally the case) or
INT. Only select INT if your receiver is equiped with an internal VideoCrypt
decoder with Smart Card reader*.
if AV-source is EXT V or EXT AV, you can now select between EXT 1 or
EXT 2. Only select EXT 2 if you have 2 decoders and the special connector
lead connecting them to your Receiver. Consult your dealer for advice about
this connector lead.
Note: For Receivers without an internal VideoCrypt decoder, the D'/cey on the remote control
has no function.
6. AUDIO
When in the Installation menu, the I-II key or-<] and O keys can be used
to select the sound you want to hear. You may refer to the Satellite Pro
gramme Guide in the back of this manual to change or optimise your choice.
7. FREQ
Using the <□ and [>■ keys, this option allows you to vary the audio frequency
for both mono and stereo modes, thus enabling you to tune into programmes
using audio frequencies different to the preset ones. MONO V will now show
that it has been altered from its original setting (eg MONO 3). Use this option
to obtain mono sound settings of 6.60 or 6.65MHz (see Satellite Programme
Guide).

settings. This will bring the WHICH PROGRAMME prompt on screen. Select a
programme number you wish to store this information against using the <I] or
[>> keys or the numeric keys. Press the STORE key again. This will store all
the settings for the programme and put the receiver back into normal mode.
Programmes 59 and 60 have been designated TEST and AUX respectively
and cannot be renamed; consequently the NAME option is not available on
these programmes.
Adding New Programmes (frequency scan)
To add new programmes, it will be necessary to first locate them. This can be
easily done using the frequency scan mode:
o
> The 9 light will start blinking.
l> The receiver will scan for programmes on the polarity you were
When the receiver finds a signal, the scanning speed will automatically
decrease. This allows you the time to stop the scanning by pressing MENU.
Automatically, Menu 1 will be displayed to alter other parameters if necessary,
and to store the channel found under a new preset number. Continue as
described in section “Modifying Existing Programmes (Menu 1)”.

Other Remote Controls
It is possible to operate your Receiver with a remote control other than the
one delivered with the Receiver. Your Receiver is programmed to function as
“Satellite 2”. The remote control transmits signals in “Satellite 2” codes.
Some multifunctional Philips remote controls have the “SAT” option. If they do
not have the choice between “SAT1” and “SAT2”, they will transmit SAT1
codes. Since your Satellite Receiver is functioning as SAT2, it will not react to
those commands.
But you can change your Receiver from SAT2 to SAT1 and vica versa!
To Change from SAT2 to SAT1:
O Disconnect the Receiver from the mains.
O Reconnect the Receiver to the mains while holding the (*) and
the - button on the front of the Receiver simultaneously for
several seconds.
Now your Receiver will not react to the commands of its own remote control
any more! Use a multifunctional Philips remote control and check if your
Receiver reacts correctly. If this is not the case, follow the procedure below.
To Change from SAT1 to SAT2:
O Disconnect the Receiver from the mains.
o Reconnect the Receiver to the mains while holding the (i) and
the + button on the front of the Receiver simultaneously for
several seconds.
Your Receiver will now resume normal operation with its own remote control.

when used
Cannot select TV programmes when Receiver
is switched on
With some TV sets it may be impossible to select
a normal TV programme while the Satellite
Receiver is switched on. This may be the case if,
for example, you have your Satellite Receiver
connected to your TV by means of an /W
connector cable and you want to make a record
ing of a satellite programme while watching a
normal TV programme.
Poor reception
If you have followed carefully the instruction in
section 2 HOW TO CONNECT YOUR
RECEIVER, you should get clear pictures and
sound
CAUSE AND ACTION
- check the power and connection
- check the satellite dish antenna and/or A/V
connections
- verify that the batteries of the remote control are
not exhausted
- disconnect the receiver from the mains and
reconnect it after waiting several seconds.
Note: You will have to set the internal clock again.
If this occurs, you should press the TV/SAT key
on your remote control once.Now you can select
and watch TV programmes.
If you wish to return to the satellite programmes,
press the same TV/SAT key again.
If you have no problem changing TV channels
while your Satellite Receiver is switched on, you
do not need to use the TV/SAT key.
If not, check the section' Modifying Existing
Programmes (Menu 1)' carefully.
- adjust the satellite channel frequency in Menu 1
slightly using the <3 and Q> keys
- check the dish position
If this does not improve things, then the problem
may be due to objects such as buildings or trees
between your dish and the satellite. Ask your
dealer for advice.
Scrolling picture on some programmes
The picture is not stable, scrolls or disappears
and appears all the time.
Remote control does not work
If It seems the Receiver does not react to remote
control commands.
If you have any of the faults shown, take the
required action and, if this does not achieve the
required result
Try to optimise the reception following the
procedure mentioned under Poor Reception. If
this does not give the desired result, you may be
tuned to a programme with conditional access for
which you have no authorisation.
- verify that the 9 light is not lit. If so, the
Receiver is switched on to a timer event or is in
sleep timer mode and does not react to remote
control commands.
If you want to stop the sleeptimer, press O.
If you want to cancel the timer event, press the
(I) key quickly followed by VIEW. The timer
event has now been cancelled and the Receiver
will resume normal operation.
- verify that the batteries of the remote control are
not exhausted.
- check that you did not accidentally
reprogramme the Receiver to 'SATT
(see 'Other Remote Controls' in chapter 4)
- consult your dealer
