BEFORE YOU START

General

With this Philips STU 901 Sateliite Receiver you can receive sateiiite programmes broadcast in the PALySECAM and D2-MAC transmission standards.

The operation of the Receiver differs slightly depending on whether you are receiving PAL/SECAM or D2-MAC signals.

Both are covered in these instructions. The drawings in the text are accompanied by numbers in

brackets, e.g.(1) These correspond to the numbers on the drawings on the front fold-out flap. Bold numbers without brackets - like this 1 - refer to numbers on the remote control keypad (6).

Fold out the rear flap to see how to use the on-screen displays.

Safety Instructions

To avoid short-circuits, which may cause fire or electric shock, do not expose this Philips STU 901 Satellite Receiver to rain or moisture.

Dangerous voltage inside. Do not open the cabinet.

There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Repairs should be carried out by qualified service personnel only. NEVER connect or modify cables while the Receiver is con

nected to the mains. Switch off using switch (12).

Ensure that no objects or fluids pass through the ventilation

openings.

If liquid is spilt into the Receiver, disconnect the Receiver from

the mains and consult a qualified service technician. Do not put your Receiver close to an external source of heat

(radiator, etc.). Ensure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation

openings of the Receiver. Avoid using the Receiver on soft surfaces or near appliances

generating strong magnetic fields (e.g. motors, transformers). Do not use your Receiver in dusty places or where it may be

subject to vibration. Avoid using your Receiver immediately after moving from a cold

to a warm location and vice versa, or under conditions of high humidity.

If you have to transport your Receiver, avoid violent shocks. Your Receiver supplies 14 or 18 V DC voltage to your satellite

dish antenna. Make sure you only connect your satellite dish to the satellite

dish inputs, (21 and 22) and nothing else. For cleaning, use a damp chamois leather - never use an

abrasive.

Mains connection

Before connecting the Receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the

type plate (32) on the rear panel of your Receiver.

If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer. Do not connect the Receiver to the mains yet, but continue

reading these Operating Instructions! NEVER connect or modify cables while the Receiver is

connected to the mains. Ensure that the mains plug is not plugged in to the mains supply before proceeding further.
