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.

Connect the Polarizer (if applicable)

Signals from a satellite are transmitted with different polarizations. There are 4 kinds of polarizations:

Direct Broadcast Satellites DBS (TV satellites like TDF and

TELE-X) transmit with circular polarization: left hana circular = L, or right hand circular = R.

All other satellites (such as ASTRA) transmit with linear polariza tion: horizontal = H or vertical = V.

For proper reception, you need a device called a Polarizer which is located in the LNC assembly of your dish antenna. This must be connected to the STD 901 so that the right polarization is selected automatically each time you change channels.

To make this happen, connect the 3 small leads from your antenna cable to the POLARIZER connectors (24) on the back of your Satellite Receiver:

GND +5V XL

POLARIZER

' the black lead to GND * the red lead to +5 V

• the white lead to xl (pulse)

Aim your dish

Check that you still have the MAIN MENU on your screen (see

rear flap). If not, follow the first steps for the Connection Option you have chosen. Press MENU OFF on your remote control.

Consult the Satellite Programme Guide supplied with your

Receiver and choose a programme number on the satellite at which you will aim your dish, eg TV3, Programme 3, on ASTRA

1-A; RTL plus. Programme 37, on TV-SAT2 etc

NOTE: With single reflector satellite dishes, the SELECT

POLARISATION settings LEFT and RIGHT may need to be reversed i.e. if the correct setting is LEFT, you may need to

select RIGHT. The preset values have been set for the Philips High

Performance dual reflector antenna.

Additional connections

AUDIO L/R (29)

if you wish to use your hi-fi installation to listen to satellite

programmes then you must connect it to the audio sockets (29). These sockets are also used to connect an S-VHS recorder.

Introduction

Modern satellite TV programmes not only give you greater choice and better sound and pictures - with D2-MAC - they also offer you many improvements to make viewing more pleasurable and to give you greater control over what you watch.

The key element are Parental Control and Conditional Access.

In all cases, you make extensive use of the On-Screen-Display (OSD) functions of the Receiver. All changes are made using the MENU buttons and the On-Screen-Displays.

This makes the procedures fast and easy. Study the diagram on the rear flap and the explanations carefully.

You will then be able to make any changes you want simply by following the instructions in the various OSD menus.

Using the Parental Lock

If you want your children only to watch one specific programme,

you can set the Receiver to show that programme only Children’s Channel, for example.

To set the Parental lock,

- first select the programme to lock using the button (6) on the

remote control

- press the MENU button (8) on the remote control

- press 6 to select SPECIAL FEATURES

- press 2 to select PARENTAL LOCK

- press + to select ON

- press MENU OFF The programme number cannot now be changed on the Receiver

itself but can, of course, be changed using the remote control. To prevent this, take the remote control with you or hide it in a secure place. The Parental Lock works with all programmes - D2-MAC, PAL and SECAM - whether they are encrypted or not. You do not need a EuroCrypt card to use the Parental Lock.

10 <GB>

What is Parental Control?

The Receiver 901 has a Parental Control mode which you can use to stop your children watching certain types of programmes.

Many satellite programme providers rate programmes by their contents of sex, violence etc and transmit Parental Code Numbers with their encrypted D2-MAC transmissions. The STU 901 can detect these numbers - and lets you programme your Receiver so your children only watch programmes you think are suitable.

Movies are often rated according to their suitability for particular age groups;

- U = Universal

- PG = Parental Guidance

-12,15 and 18 = suggested viewing ages.

You can stop your children watching certain categories by using a Secret Code.

Parental Control works only with D2-MAC encrypted programmes for which you have a EuroCrypt card and when

Select: 0 - 9

Do not forget your Secret Code! If you do, you will have to

contact your dealer or the programme provider for assistance.

NOTE:

The factory pre-set code of 0000 means that there is no Secret Code in the Eurocrypt card. Once you change this,

no-one can change (store) any locks or change the parental control settings without knowing your Secret Code.

How to watch an encrypted progranune

If you want to watch a programme encrypted to the EuroCrypt

standard, you will first have to contact the programme provider. They will register you as an authorised viewer - sometimes asking payment of a fee - and will provide you with a EuroCrypt

card. You insert this into the Smart Card reader* (13) on your

Receiver and you can then watch the programme or

programmes, for which you have been authorised. You can leave your EuroCrypt card in the slot at all times but

it only works with D2-MAC EuroCrypt programmes. It has no effect on other programmes.

Using a EuroCrypt card

A EuroCrypt card has a small micro-processor built in. This is used by the programme provider to ‘tell’ the system which programmes you are authorised to watch and, in the case of subscription channels, how long you have paid for.

When you first receive your EuroCrypt card, you will want to enter your own Secret Code to stop others changing your choices (a EuroCrypt card is supplied with the code set at 0000, which means there is no Secret Code). To put in your own code, see “How to change your Secret Code” above.

The new Parental Control setting takes effect and cannot be

changed unless you enter your Secret Code on request. Notice that you can always use the - + key to highlight other

PARENTAL CONTROL settings, but they do not operate until

you STORE, which requires you to first enter your Secret Code.

Changing the secret code back to 0000 will cancel all locks.

What is Conditional Access (CA)?

Satellite TV signals can be received in many different areas and countries and are either ‘free’ or ‘subscription’. ‘Free’ channels can normally be viewed without restriction.

To comply with international copyright requirements, and enable

programme providers (the broadcasters of programmes) to obtain payment for subscription channels, a system of condi

tional access has been developed. This uses a process known

as encryption.

An encrypted programme will usually appear on your screen as

an unrecognisable picture with no sound. You can only view the programme if you are authorised to do so and have a valid

EuroCrypt card.

Your Philips STU 901 is fitted as standard v;ith a EuroCrypt card reader (13) to let you view programmes encrypted with the

Introduction

Your Philips STU 901 is pre-programmed at the factory with station names, numbers etc as well as ‘preferences’ for sound, language, subtitling, etc. in the following section, you will find out how to change these to suit your individual wishes.

All changes are made using the MENU buttons and the OnScreen-Displays. This makes the procedures fast and easy.

Changing the menu language

The STU 901 is delivered so that the menu items are in the

language normally used in your country or area. If you want to change this, proceed as follows.

Changing colour saturation and contrast

(D2-MAC programmes only)

Colour saturation and contrast have been set to a standard value in the factory. To change them

- press either 1 SATURATION or 2 CONTRAST

- press the - + key of the MENU buttons (8). The red and blue bars will grow longer or shorter.

- release the - + key when you have the picture you like.

NOTE: Do not change the Saturation and Contrast settings too far to the

left or right - you may get poor recording of programmes on your video recorder.

Changing the picture display format

The TV pictures we are used to seeing use a format which was set more than 50 years ago to match the movie fiims of the time. Since then, movie screens have grown wider but TV pictures have not.

When you watch a wide-screen movie on a normai TV you either see aii the picture but with biack bars at top and bottom or you see the picture fuli-screen but with the sides removed.

INSTALLATION

Now D2-MAC brings wide-screen pictures to TV and new wide screen TV sets are appearing on the market. They use a format of 16:9 compared with the 'old' 4:3 format you are used to. If you have one of the new wide-screen sets, you should set the picture display format to WIDE as follows:

- press the MENU button (8) on the remote control

- press 1 to select PICTURE

- press 3 to select PICTURE DISPLAY FORMAT

- use the - + key to highlight WIDE

- press MENU OFF Make sure your TV set is set to the wide-screen position when

receiving wide-screen transmissions.

Changing your preferences for D2-MAC

sound

With D2-MAC programmes you can set the language you prefer for the main sound and subtitling. If the broadcaster is transmit ting these languages, your STU 901 will automatically select the ones you prefer.

You can select two other languages which you would like if your first choice is not being broadcast. Your Receiver will handle this automatically.

If none of your language preferences are being broadcast, you

see and hear the original language of the programme, often called ‘Main sound’ or ‘Background’.

Introduction to Programming

TV stations transmit their programmes on channels. Channel numbers are indicated by two-digit numbers (e.g. CH 09).

Each station can be stored under a programme number (1 to 98).

Programme numbers have one or two digits (e.g. PR 7 or PR

17). The factory-set programme numbers can be found in the Satellite Programme Guide delivered with your Receiver.

When searching for stations, you will find that some are broad

casting the new D2-MAC signals while others are using the ‘old' PAL/SECAM signals.

With D2-MAC signals, you can obtain information on the

programme you are watching by pressing the + key (8) on your remote control. An information block appears at top right of your

TV screen. This information block is not available when PAD SECAM signals are being received.

For PAL/SECAM signals, the sound may have to be pro

grammed separately. See 'Sound selection with PAL/SECAM programmes' above. So, if you have a good picture but bad sound, just continue programming.
