Provided your dish is installed correctly and aligned to the relevant satellite, both the Signal and Data
bars should display a GREEN bar which denotes the following:
The first bar shows the actual satellite SIGNAL strength
You should see a GREEN bar showing your satellite signal is medium to good. If it is RED, this
normally indicates that either your dish/LNB set-up is not adequate for this satellite, or your dish is
not correctly aligned.
The second bar shows the quality of the DATA received
This GREEN bar indicates the DATA INTEGRITY of the signal received. If the bar is RED, this
indicates that the DATA received is unreliable. This could cause the picture to break up, or
disappear completely.
Note: If “No signal found” is displayed, check that the values entered are correct and are valid for
the satellite your dish is installed for. (Please also refer to the “Advanced Users” and “Trouble
Shooting ” section to check that your LNB settings are correct).

Selecting different audio channels:
Language Audio Channel
eng

L+R
In digital satellite broadcasts, multiple audio languages can be simultaneously transmitted by the
programme provider.
Default audio setting:
The user can first select a default audio language via the “Preferences” menu for the receiver. Once
the default audio language has been stored, all newly found TV/Radio channels will then be stored
with the selected default audio language.
Multi-Channel Audio:
The broadcasters may transmit more than one language for any channel. By pressing the “LANG ” key
on the handset, the user can quickly find out what other languages are available for that channel. If the
left side column of the Audio Control menu shows a selection of different languages, the user can
select and store a new default language for that channel only - for that channel the receiver will always
return to the newly stored default language.
Sometimes two different languages are broadcasted with one language on the Left Audio Channel
(L) and a different language on the Right Audio Channel (R). When this is available, the “Audio
Channel ” column of the “Audio Control” menu will display the available audio channels and the user
can then select either channel L or R for the desired language. Otherwise the default L+R setting
would have the two languages “mixed” together and they will be heard at the same time.
From this menu, the left column indicates the
default languages available and the right column
indicates the available audio sub-channels. The
User may then move the cursor to the L or R subchannel and listen to decide whether the required
language is available.
Notes:
fra
dan
R
The left column is the default language setting and this option is storable. If the user changes the
default language to another language, any new programmes which do not support the new default
language may become silent. When this happens, the receiver will display the Missing Audio icon on
the Information Banner, you can press the LANG key to select a different default language.
Many broadcasters transmit multiple languages and programmes on a number of audio sub-channels.
With this menu the user can listen to any of the sub-channels by moving the cursor to highlight them
when available. The L and R audio sub-channels can vary from programme to programme so this is
not stored and will revert to L+R (Stereo) when you change channel.

Auto Tuning
From the select frequencies, the receiver will automatically search for all other frequencies within the
tuning range and downloads them automatically into the receiver. Once the channels have been
downloaded, all the TV and Radio channels will be displayed separately allowing the user to inspect
them and decide whether they are to be stored or aborted. This option is not available in Manual tuning
mode (F1).
Network and Bouquet Tuning
Within a digital broadcast transmission, many other network frequencies are provided to guide the
receiver to tune to other Networks. Network tuning enables the receiver to download other channels
from the same network. Use Bouquet tuning you only want to download channels from one channel
frequency group. Bouquet Tuning is used when only the channels from the desired frequency are to be
downloaded.
PID tuning
Apart from the usual channel parameters (Frequency,
Symbol Rate, Polarity and FEC value), the broadcaster
must include additional information (known as Packet
Identifiers or PIDs) in their transmission to allow autotuning to work properly.
In “PID Tuning” you are required to enter the channel
name and three other parameters: Video PID, Audio
PID, PCR PID and Text PID (optional). These values
can either be in Decimal (ranging from 0 to 9) or Hexadecimal (ranging from 0 to 9 and A to F for each
digit).
After selecting from the Preset List, or Manually entering the basic channel parameters (Frequency,
Symbol Rate, Polarity and FEC value), move the cursor to highlight the Manual button and press OK to
start tuning.

Analogue option
The digital satellite receiver analogue option is an advanced analogue receiver module specially
designed to be used with the digital satellite receiver.
With the capacity for 600 channels, single or twin input Low-Threshold tuner* (3.5dB max.), dual IF
bandwidth tuner* and high sensitivity PLL audio demodulation circuitry, the analogue option will
provide excellent reception capability even under very poor signal conditions. To cope with the many
different scrambling methods used by broadcasters, the analogue option is fully PAL, MAC and
Canal+ decoder compatible with fully programmable audio and video loop-through. Apart from
employing a high sensitivity PLL demodulation circuit, the audio circuitry in this module is also fully
featured: Independent Left/Right tuning with 4 selectable audio sub-carrier bandwidths (130, 180, 280,
and 500kHz), and 50uS, 75uS, J17 audio de-emphasis, and PANDA compatible dynamic noise
reduction system.
In order to save you time during installation, the unit is pre-programmed with the most popular
channels, from the most popular satellites together with automatic video frequency scan, selectable
LNB local oscillators setting 22kHz tone and DiSEqC support. The most commonly used audio
settings are also pre-stored in the first 25 audio presets (50 in total), with the remainder 25 presets
being fully customisable by the user.
*Optional
system installation:
In addition to the connectors shown on page 4 in the main manual, you will find extra LNB inputs and a
decoder SCART socket used by the analogue module:
For installations with a single LNB feed, connect the cable from the LNB to the main IF input. Connect
the small IF loop cable (supplied) between the Loop Out connector to the Analogue IF Input connector.
For installations with two independent LNB feeds, connect the respective LNB cables to the corre sponding LNB IF inputs, the Loop cable will not be required in this case.
decoder SCART:
Connect your decoder to the DECODER SCART connector via a SCART cable.
Note:
Within the decoder SCART there are two pins (pin 10 = SCL and pin 12 = SDA) reserved for analogue
channel data download which your installer may use to download new channel presets from his
receiver directly into your receiver. Please refer to your dealer for download information.

Your receiver is equipped with a twin-slot Common Interface (CI), accepting both Type 1 and Type 2
PCMCIA modules (see diagram below). Plug in the appropriate CI module together with a valid
SMART Card. You will then have access to the respective scrambled and pay-per-view services.
( CI )
Insert the SMART card into the CI module, and the
module into the slots provided behind the hinged door
at the front of the receiver.
Press to eject the each
of the CI modules
The CI and SMART card modules determine the programmes that can be de-scrambled. This receiver
supports two CI slots so you can plug in two different modules.
Each SMART card contains your subscription details. You can view your entitlement via the CI option
on the receiver’s main menu .
Insert the CI module into the slot provided (behind the hinged door on the front panel) until the eject
button is fully extended. Press the button to eject the CI module.
The SMART card must be inserted with the gold contact pad facing up. Ensure that these contacts are
clean before inserting it into the CI module.
Note:
Both the SMART card and CI modules support “hot-plugging ”, this means that the SMART card and CI
module may be inserted or removed with the receiver switched on.
Both the CI module and SMART card contain delicate electronic circuitry, please handle them with
care when inserting and removing them from the receiver.
Under NO circumstances bend the SMART card or place it on a hot surface. This may damage the
card and the CI module.
At times, certain CI modules may stop responding causing the receiver to stop decoding. When this
happens, simply switch the receiver to stand-by and then on again to reset the CI module.

Common Interface (cont.):
Irdeto
You have no access to
Irdeto
To access the Common Interface menu:
Press Menu, select CI.
The information available on the CI menu depends
on the CI module provider. Typically they will contain
subscription information such as subscription duration,
accessible programmes, maturity level, network
information etc. For more information, please consult
Your Pay-TV service provider.
On-screen messages:
Apart from the Common Interface menu, other on-screen messages may appear while in viewing
mode. Here are two examples:
When a message similar to the one on the right
appears, insert the appropriate SMART card to
access the channel.
Your SMART card cannot access the channel You may require a different SMART card for
this programme. You should note that these
messages come from the CI/SMART card
module and so will vary. Please refer to the
information provided with your Subscription /
CI module.
Sometimes the above screen may appear over a de-scrambled channel. This may be caused by
having two identical CI modules inserted but each with a SMART card from a different service provider
(for example: two Viaccess CI modules with one using a TPS SMART card and the other using an
ABSAT SMART card). In this case as a TPS channel is being accessed, the TPS SMART card will
de-scramble that channel but at the same time the ABSAT SMART card will display the ‘NO ACCESS ’
message on-screen. When this happens, press OK to cancel the message.
VIACCESSV
Please insert smart card
This channel.
Press OK to continue.
