4.0 Installation:
Introduction
This manual will help you learn the basic features and operation of your receiver such as
installation, channel selection and many other functions of the set top box.
4.1 Satellite Dish Installation
Please refer to the separate documentation “Satellite Dish Installation Guide” to install
your dish. You will need to assemble, erect and roughly align your dish to your chosen satellite before
connecting up and turning on your Receiver.
NOTE: It is recommended that you seek the assistance of a second person when aligning
the dish.
4.2 Receiver Installation
4.2.1 Connecting your Receiver
Having completed the assembly and erection of your dish, connect the satellite cable from your dish
to the LNB IN terminal of your receiver and your HDMI lead from the rear of your receiver to an
available socket on your TV or AV Amplier. If you are not using an HD compatible TV then you will
need to connect to your TV using a SCART lead and optionally the Audio Out to an AV Amplier. If
you are using the HDMI socket then you only need to connect this, as it feeds both high quality
audio and video to your TV.
4.2.2 Preparing your Remote Control
Your Remote Control requires 2 x AAA (LR03) batteries to operate (not supplied). Open the cover
on the rear of the Remote Control by sliding it downwards and insert two batteries taking care to
observe the polarity markings inside the compartment.
4.2.3 TV Format Set-Up
You are now ready to switch on and adjust your dish to complete alignment (for this refer to the separate instructions). Switch on your TV and plug in your Satellite Receiver then proceed as follows:–
• Press the POWER button on your Remote Control or the STANDBY Button on the Front
Panel of the Receiver to turn the unit on.
• If a ‘Mode not supported’ message appears on your TV - You need to alter the Receiver
resolution to match the resolution of your TV – The factory default is 720p.
The Resolution is changed by pressing the ‘V Format’ button on your remote control. Select
between 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080i TV Resolutions as required. 1080i is the highest
available resolution for Satellite HD channel reception.
NOTE: The TV may icker or the picture disappear briey when changing resolution
• Make sure your TV source is set to receive the signal from your Receiver.
NOTE: If you are using this Receiver in conjunction with a pre-installed dish which is
already aligned to ASTRA/EURO1 then after the unit has powered up you will see “NO
CHANNEL” being displayed. At this point press the “OK” button and your Channel list
should be displayed showing all the programmes that were loaded onto the receiver
during manufacture. Your Receiver is now ready to use.
