Chapter 1
Introduction
The SBI-2060 digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus
is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For its
operation you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder or multiplex. To reduce confusion in this manual,
the word service is preferably used than channel as a term
to indicate one television or radio broadcast.
1.1 Features
This digital receiver has the following features:
• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS protocols.
2 Introduction
• Can store up to 10,000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
• Can create lists of your favourite services.
• Can view information about the current television or radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
• Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this
digital receiver. You can pause a programme you are
watching and resume it again at a later time. Then you
can quickly go to any part of the current programme by
fast forward or rewind search.
• If you have an external hard drive connected to the digital receiver via the USB port, you can record television
programmes into it.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall
socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,
when it is on, it is in active mode. Even when you are not
using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into
a wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer
events at any time.
1.2.1 Front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, specific lights and a display to indicate its
status. The following indicates what they mean.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver
There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up the
digital receiver suitably to your television and other devices.
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact
your dealer.
2.4.1 Connecting to the antenna
Whatever sort of connection you have between
the digital receiver and the television, you need
to connect the digital receiver to the antenna so
that it can receive digital television broadcasts.
Connect the antenna cable to the LNB IN connector.
NOTE
Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could
simultaneously catch all frequencies coming from a satellite
and send them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite
antenna only sends the frequencies that it can catch with the
LNB frequency and polarisation specified by the digital receiver. So if you have another digital receiver linked from
the LNB OUT connector, you can only use it limitedly. See
§3.1 for more details.
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we recommend you to use the first connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11
1. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. SCART connector (TV)
You should configure audio and video settings after connecting up the digital receiver. See §4.2 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI output
If you have a high definition television set,
you should use an HDMI cable for best results. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television.
To use the SCART output
For best results with a standard television set,
you should use a SCART cable. Plug one end
of the cable into the TV socket on the digital
receiver, and plug the other end into a free
SCART socket on your television.
NOTE
You cannot view high definition video by means of the
SCART output.
12 Setup
To make the audio connection
To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television
or audio-video receiver must be able to decode Dolby Digital audio, and you need to
obtain an S/PDIF cable.
Plug one end of the cable into the S/PDIF
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
audio-video receiver.
2.5 Switching on for the first time
Now that you have your digital receiver connected, you should
plug it into a wall socket. Ensure that your television set is
turned on and on the correct video channel so that you will be
able to see the display from the digital receiver.
Before switching on the digital receiver, you should insert batteries into the remote control. Open the battery compartment
by removing the lid, and then insert the batteries observing the
polarity, which is marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Press the button on the top left corner on the remote control. In a little time, you may see a picture displaying a menu.
If you do not see a picture, try pressing the
V.Format button on
the remote control. If after several tries you still get no picture,
check that the television is set to the correct input. If the picture
is good, you can skip to §3.1 to search for available television
and radio services.
CAUTION
If the digital receiver no longer reacts properly to the remote
control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to replace only with 1.5 V AAA size batteries, and observe the
following precautions.
2.5 Switching on for the first time 13
• Do not mix different types of batteries, or new and old
batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not recharge the old batteries.
• In order to avoid any risk of explosion, observe the polarities indicated inside the battery compartment.
• Do not subject to excessive heat such as the sun and
fire.
• If you are not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for the damage resulting from leaking batteries.

Service Search
After connecting up the digital receiver, you will need to perform a service search.
NOTE
If there is no service stored, you will be not able to access all
menus. A is another name for a .
3.1 Searching for broadcasting services
This digital receiver can be operated with both fixed antenna
and motorized antenna. You have to configure antenna settings according to your antenna system in the following order:
1. Configure LNB settings. Refer to §3.1.1.
2. Set the position of your desired satellites if you have a
motorized antenna. You can control the antenna in DiSEqC 1.2 mode or USALS mode. Refer to §3.1.2 for DiSEqC 1.2, and refer to §3.1.3 for USALS.
3. Perform a service search.
3.1 Searching for broadcasting services 15
3.1.1 Configuring LNB settings
There are two large frequency bands for satellite broadcasts.
One is C band which ranges approximately from 4 to 6 GHz.
The other is Kuband which ranges approximately from 12 to
18 GHz.
The LNB (Low Noise Block converter)
is used to take a wide band of relatively high frequencies, amplify and
convert them to similar signals that
is carried at a much lower frequency,
which is called Intermediate Frequency
(IF). High frequencies from satellites
are converted into 950 to 2150 MHz by
a LNB.
Select the Installation > LNB
Setting menu to configure the
LNB settings. You should see a
screen like the left figure.
Pressing the
OK button on the Satellite Name option displays
the satellite list in alphabetic order. Select the satellite toward
which your antenna is set to face. Even if you cannot find your
desired satellite, you can add your desired satellite to the satellite list. See §3.2 for a detailed description.
The digital receiver has a database of broadcasting satellites
and their transponders, containing the following information:
16 Service Search
satellite position, frequency range, symbol rate, polarization
and LNB frequency corresponding to the frequency range.
So you might not have to specify the LNB Frequency option.
However, if you have selected the Other entry at the Satellite
Name option to specify a satellite that is not in the satellite list,
you might have to fill in the correct LNB frequency. The absolute difference between a broadcasting frequency and its LNB
frequency must be within 950 to 2150 MHz. For example, if the
frequency band of your desired satellite ranges from 3660 to
4118 MHz, you have to set the LNB Frequency option to 5150
MHz.
The LNB has to be supplied with electric power to operate. Set
the LNB Power option to On if it does not have any other power
supply.
If you use a dual LNB or two antennas which is connected to
the 22 kHz tone switch box, set the 22 kHz option to On.
The digital receiver is designed to be compatible with DiSEqC
(Digital Satellite Equipment Control) switches. It is possible
to connect several antennas to one digital receiver by DiSEqC
switches. A DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows switching between up to
four satellite sources and a DiSEqc 1.1 switch allows switching
between up to 16 satellite sources.
Set the DiSEqC 1.0 option and the DiSEqC 1.1 option according to your antenna configuration.
For example, to select the antenna connected to the A5 input in the left figure, set
the DiSEqC 1.1 option to 2 of 4 and the DiS-
EqC 1.0 option to 1 of 4. If you have a mini
DiSEqC 1.0 switch which has only two inputs, you should set the DiSEqC 1.0 option
to Mini A instead of 1 of 4.

3.1.2 Configuring DiSEqC 1.2 settings
Your motorized antenna will turn toward your desired satellites horizontally by DiSEqC 1.2.
When you switch to a service, if it is not
provided by the current satellite, it will take
longer time than usual because the antenna
has to turn to its position.
To use the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol,
select the Installation > Motor-
ized DiSEqC 1.2 menu. You
should see a screen like the left
figure. At first you have to set the
Motorized DiSEqC 1.2 option to
Enable.
To get the correct position of your desired satellite, take the
following steps:
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name option.
2. Set the DiSEqC Command Mode option to User.
3. Set the Motor Control option to Goto. Then the antenna
will turn toward your selected satellite by the position
data that the digital receiver has.
4. If the receiving quality is not good, tune the antenna
finely with the Movement option. If you set it to 2(E),
the antenna will move to the east by two degrees. At this
time you had better check the receiving quality of every
transponder and choose the best one at the Transponder
18 Service Search
(or Frequency) option. It will be helpful to your fine tuning.
5. Finally set the Motor Control option to Store to save the
tuned position when the receiving quality is best.
There are more motor control options for installers, but this
guide does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer them
to the manual about the STAB rotor.
3.1.3 Configuring USALS settings
USALS (Universal Satellite Automatic Location System), also
known as DiSEqC 1.3, calculates the positions of all available
satellites from your location. Compared to DiSEqC 1.2, it is
no longer required to manually search and store every satellite
position. Just pointing to a known satellite position is enough.
This position will act as a central point. The USALS will then
calculate positions of visible satellites.
To use the USALS protocol, select the Installation > USALS
Setting menu. You should see
a screen like the left figure. At
first you have to set the Motor-
ized DiSEqC 1.3 option to Enable.
To get every satellite position calculated, take the following
steps:
1. Choose your desired satellite at the Satellite Name option.
2. Enter your location to the My Longitude option and the
My Latitude option with the
V− ,
V+ and numeric but-
tons.
