For your safety
Your set-top box has been manufactured to meet international safety
standards, but you must take care if you want to obtain the best results
and operate it safely.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the
safety instructions below. If you have any doubts about the installation,
operation or safety of your set-top box, please consult your dealer .
WARNING!
Remember that contact with 230 V AC mains can be lethal
or can cause a severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:
Never remove the top cover from your set-top box.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside it, but there
are some high-voltage live parts.
Make sure that all electrical connections are properly
made.
Do not connect any of your equipment (set-top box,
TV, video recorder etc.) to the mains supply until you
have properly connected all the other leads.
Disconnect your set-top box from the mains supply
(by disconnecting its mains lead from the mains wall
socket) before you disconnect any other equipment
from its rear panel.
Never push anything into the holes, slots or other
openings of the set-top box case (except a smart card
into its correct slot).
CAUTION!
In order to ensure a free flow of air around the set-top box,
allow at least 5cm of space above and around the set-top box.
Never stand your set-top box on soft furnishings or carpets. Do
not cover any ventilation slots.
Do not place your set-top box in an unventilated cabinet or on
top of a unit which emits heat (e.g. a TV or VCR).
Do not place your set-top box in a cabinet with more than one
other piece of audio/video equipment, for example, VCR or
DVD.
Do not use or store your set-top box in hot, cold, damp or
dusty places.
Do not put anything on your set-top box which might drip or
spill into it. Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
on top of your set-top box.
Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top
of your set-top box.

Updates to your set-top box
❖
From time to time, your set-top box may be updated. These updates
provide enhanced features; new screens and menus may become
available. Although any new screens and menus may look a little
different from those described in this User Guide, you should be able
to use the same techniques (e.g. highlight and select) with them.
Updates will usually happen in the middle of the night. You should not
unplug your set-top box at the mains, as this may affect any updates
which may occur.
❖
Inserting the batteries in your remote
control
Before you can use your remote control, you must insert the two
supplied AAA batteries as follows:
1. Push the catch at the top of the remote control battery cover
down, then lift off the cover.
2. Insert the batteries as shown below. Be sure to match the + and
– marks on the batteries to their respective marks inside the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover, by inserting the tab at the bottom of
the cover first, then pushing the cover into place.

❖ What else do I need?
Smart card
If you wish to view premium services, you will need a smart card. This
is available from your service provider, Viasat.
Satellite dish
You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct
satellite(s).
◆ If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct
satellite(s), you will need to make adjustments. Please see the
information supplied with your dish/LNB for details on how to
do this, or seek professional advice.
◆ If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer
to recommend a local dish-installation engineer.
Single LNB
If you have one LNB only, to ensure the simplest installation method,
and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should use the ‘Sirius’
satellite, at 5° East. However, if you prefer, you can set up your system
for any one of the four satellites listed in the LNB positions table below.
Multiple LNB set-up
If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with 2 or more LNBs/satellite dishes,
to ensure a simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up,

Installation
Taking care of your smart card
◆ Do not remove and re-insert your smart card unnecessarily.
◆ Do not bend your smart card; keep it away from children and
pets.
◆ Do not put your smart card in liquids or use cleaning fluids on it.
❖ Connecting a ‘magic eye’
On some models, you may be able to connect a ‘magic eye’ (not

❖ Connecting to the mains supply
Once you have safely made all the other connections, you can connect
your set-top box to the mains supply.
1. Using the supplied mains lead, insert the set-top box mains
connector into the mains input (marked 230V 50Hz) on
your set-top box, as shown in the diagram below.

Notes
Your set-top box operates with 230V AC, 50Hz mains supplies.
Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a
mains plug at the other. You should always insert the 2-way
connector into your set-top box before you insert the plug into the
mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your set-top box from the mains is to
remove the mains lead. Your set-top box must therefore be installed
near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection,
consult a competent electrician.

❖ Switching on for the first time
When you connect your set-top box to the mains, your set-top box’s
front panel lights go through a start-up sequence. After about 20
seconds, your set-top box is switched on and out of standby, and the
standby light is green.
◆ Make sure your TV is switched on.
If the Countries screen below displays, your TV is ready for digital
satellite channels.
Installation

You can now continue the installation by turning to the section ‘Making
the installation settings’ on page 18, but note that if you have a VCR
connected to your set-top box via an RF lead (as in connection
method 1), to be able to record satellite programmes, you may need
to perform RF Tuning for your VCR - see page 17.
If the Countries screen does not display...
If you have connected your set-top box to your TV (and VCR) via
SCART leads, try selecting your TV’s ‘AV input’.
If you have connected your set-top box to your TV (and VCR) via RF
leads only, you need to tune a ‘channel for satellite TV’ (see ‘RF Tuning’
on page 17).
www.strongsat.com
Installation
❖ RF Tuning
If you have connected up your equipment via RF leads, you may need
to perform RF tuning before you can watch digital satellite TV.
Note
If you have previously had an analogue satellite receiver connected to
your TV (and/or VCR), you may find that your ‘channel for satellite TV’
still works for your new digital channels. Try it to see - if it works you
do not need to perform RF tuning.
RF tuning your TV (and VCR) to your set-top box
1. Make sure your set-top box is out of standby (the standby light
on the front panel should be green).
2. Consulting your TV’s user guide if necessary, tune the TV until
you can see the Countries screen (see page 16) on your TV
screen.
3. Store your new ‘channel for digital satellite TV’ on a TV channel
number of your choice. For example, if your terrestrial channels
are channels 1 to 5, and your ‘VCR channel’ is channel 8, you
may wish to use TV channel 9 as your ‘channel for digital satellite
TV’.
4. If you have a VCR, set your TV to its ‘VCR channel’, then tune
your VCR until you can again see the Countries screen.
If you cannot RF tune your TV (or VCR) to your set-top
box...
Your set-top box’s factory preset RF output channel is channel 38. (This
is not the same as a TV channel).
If channel 38 is not compatible with your TV, for example if it is already
being used as your VCR’s output channel, or for a terrestrial channel,
you may find you cannot tune your TV to your set-top box because of
interference.
Changing the RF output channel is covered in the setup section (see
page 35).
RF channels may also be known as UHF channels.

❖ Recording a digital satellite programme
If you have a VCR you can use it to record satellite programmes from
your set-top box.
To record a satellite programme:
1. Make sure your set-top box is switched on and tuned to the
channel you wish to record.
2. Set your VCR correctly to record at the appropriate time,
making sure that your VCR is set to record its ‘channel for digital
satellite TV’, or if your set-top box is connected to your VCR via
a SCART lead, making sure your VCR is set to record its
appropriate AV channel.
For further information about your VCR, refer to your VCR’s User
Guide.
Notes
Your VCR must be correctly connected to your set-top box. For
further information, see pages 10 and 11.
Some programmes are copy-protected and may not play back
correctly if you record them.
While you are setting the recording up, you may wish to make sure
your TV is switched to its ‘VCR channel’ or the AV channel that you
use when you are watching videos, so you can check that the VCR is
showing what you want to record.
