Introduction

J

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.

MAINS connection

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.

Positioning your Philips STU 909

Satellite Tuner

The STU 909 is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should
never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

Choose a position some distance away from radiators or other sources of
heat.

Leave a clear space of at least 3 cm all around the set for ventilation. Make
sure that curtains, cupboards, etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the
ventilation openings.

Insert batteries in the remote control

O Remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote control handset.
O Insert three batteries (type R03S 1.5 V).
O Replace the battery cover.

How to connect

your TVA^CR

The connection descriptions which foliow wiil cover most situations. However,
the instruction manuais for some TV sets may propose alternative connection
schemes. You should follow such instructions where applicable.

Polarizer type

Signals from a satellite are transmitted with different polarizations.

There are 4 kinds of polarization: horizontal and vertical linear polarization and

left and right hand circular polarization.

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

polarizer socket at the back panel of your Satellite Tuner so that the right

polarization is selected automatically each time you change channels.

LNC (Low Noise Converter)
An LNC is the signal - receiving element in your satellite dish. The tuner has to
know which type of LNC is connected.

Trouble Shooting

No picture

Switch your TV to the external input, as it may not switch automatically.

Are all connectors connected tightly in the sockets?

Is the TV set switched on?
Is the configuration chosen in the configuration menu, according to the

connected equipment? If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Did you press the correct keys on the remote control?
Did you chose the right LNC band (in case you have a dual band LNC)?
Did you choose the right polarisation for the desired programme?

Check the satellite dish equipment outside.

Is the selection of the descrambler input correct?

Poor picture

Adjust the signal strength with the polarisation.
Did you choose the right frequency?

Sound

Did you choose the right sound option?

You can optimise the sound quality with the polarisation setting.

Menu

Did you select the wrong menu? Once more, press MENU or MENU OFF to
exit from the menu.

Connections

Check whether your peripheral equipment is properly connected.
Have you switched on the peripheral equipment?

Pay TV

I have forgotten my secret code:

- contact your programme provider.
My card is inserted properly yet there are no on screen displays for the

programme I want to watch:

- verify that you are tuned to a EuroCrypt programme.

The CHECK CARD message is on the screen:

- verify that your card is a EuroCrypt Smart Card and that the contacts are clean.

The programme which I am entitled to watch scrambles every now and then:

- the broadcast signal may be weak. Optimize your antenna position, if

possible.

No solution

Switch your satellite tuner off and then on again.
NEVER attempt to repair a defective tuner yourself. Check with your dealer
when nothing helps or when:

- error messages appear on the screen

- the lamp in the front start blinking without you having pressed any key on the

remote control.
