Introduction

We hope you will enjoy using your new Philips STU 909 multi-standard satellite tuner. This tuner will open up an entire world of satellite TV reception; both of the new D2-MAC broadcasts and all today’s conventional PAL transmissions. In particular, the STU will allow you to receive the increasing number of programmes broadcast in the new D2-MAC Wide-Screen 16:9 format.

You can use your Philips STU 909 satellite tuner with one or two fixed satellite dish antennae, or with a motor-controlled rotatable dish which will allow you to receive programmes from any satellite you wish, if your dish is suitable.

We advise that you ask your Philips dealer to handle the installation of your Philips satellite dish antenna and your STU 909 tuner.

Safety instructions

To avoid short-circuits, which may cause fire or electric shock, do not expose this Philips STU 909 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 connected to the mains. Ensure that no objects or fluids pass through the ventilation openings. 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. 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, 27 and 28, and nothing else.
