Connecting the Receiver
Do not connect the receiver to the mains power supply until you have connected it properly to
all devices and to the aerial. Otherwise the receiver may be damaged.
The wire mesh and the inner wire of the coaxial cable carry electrical current during
operation.
Fitting the Aerial Cable
The receiver is connected to your satellite aerial via a coaxial cable and the F-connector.
For fitting the F-connector onto the coaxial cable you need wire strippers and wire-cutting pliers.
Cut 8 mm of coaxial cable at each end down to the inner core. Carefully strip 10 mm of the outer insulation off, so that the wire mesh is free.
Peel the wire mesh back over the outer insulation, so that it is not touching the inner wire. Remove the inner insulation up to 2 mm in front of the wire mesh.
13
Turn the F-connector onto the peeled-back wire mesh, until the connector comes up against
the inner insulation. There must be no wire mesh overlapping at the back of the connector
end.
Shorten the inner core with wire-cutting pliers, so that it protrudes a maximum of 1 mm out of
the connector.
Screw the F-connector of the coaxial cable onto the “LNB IN” aerial connection on the
receiver. The other end of the coaxial cable should be firmly screwed onto the LNB.
Connecting Other Devices
TV
Plug the SCART cable into the “TV” SCART socket on the receiver. Connect the SCART cable to
the TV set. Follow the operating instructions of the TV set.
Video
Plug a SCART cable into the “VCR” SCART socket on the receiver. Connect the SCART cable to
the video recorder. Follow the operating instructions of the video recorder.
14
Stereo system - analogue
If you wish to connect a stereo system, connect the cinch connector of the cinch cable with the
“AUDIO R” and “AUDIO L” sockets of the receiver. Follow the operating instructions of the stereo
system.
Never connect the phono input of your stereo system with the receiver, which can
destroy your stereo system.
Stereo system - digital
If you want to use the 5-channel audio transmission (Dolby Digital Sound/AC3), you must connect
your digital audio amplifier/receiver with the coaxial output of the receiver. Plug the coaxial cable
into the “COAXIAL” connection on the receiver. Connect the coaxial cable with the digital audio
amplifier/receiver. Follow the operating instructions of your digital audio receiver/amplifier.
15
Connecting and Aligning the Aerial
In principle we recommend you have the assembly and commissioning of your aerial installation
carried out by qualified specialised staff.
Should you do the installation yourself, please adhere to the assembly instructions for your satellite
aerial and the following instructions. Please connect the aerial cable to the receiver first, then after
this connect the receiver to the power supply.
Before you align the aerial, you must connect the aerial cable to the LNB. Screw the F connector of
the cable onto the LNB connection of the aerial.
When fitting your aerial you should take care that the aerial must be pointing to the south. Please
note that the aerial must never be fitted behind a balcony rail, house parapet or other obstructions
(e.g. trees). The location of the sun helps you to find out which direction is south. The sun is located
exactly in the south at 1 pm during the summertime, and at 12 o’clock during the wintertime.
You must face south when you stand behind your aerial.
Depending on which satellite you want to receive, there must be an open view in this angle. This
must above all be adhered to when installing to a wall. Make sure, before you fix an appropriate
wall fitting to the wall of your house, that your aerial can also turn far enough without hitting the
house wall.
After you have made all the connections, you can now begin to align the aerial. Please check again
whether the receiver is connected with the LNB on the aerial and also with the TV set. If these cable
connections have been properly carried out, you can switch on the device.
Step 1:
Switch your TV set on. Please take care that your TV set is adjusted to the receiver. With a SCART
connection the TV set must be on the appropriate AV channel.
Step 2:
Now switch the receiver on. Please note in doing this that the receiver is pre-programmed for the
most common satellites and their channels and that you only have to enter the channel numbers via
the number pad on your receiver remote control
16
Example:
If you want to receive the Astra 19.2° East satellite, you must put your receiver onto channel 1 to
align the aerial. The same also applies for other satellites such as Hotbird. If you wish to align your
aerial to Hotbird, you must call up a pre-programmed Hotbird channel on your receiver.
Step 3
Now align your aerial with the satellite you have selected. There are several possibilities for doing
this. The simplest and most cost-effective solution is as follows:
Position yourself behind your aerial and place the aerial fully vertically (see drawing B).
Make sure that the reception part of the aerial is pointing south (see drawing A).
Drawing A Drawing B
Now turn your aerial slowly to the east (left) while watching your TV set, until the reception
part is pointing directly east, that is, turn it through 90°.
With digital satellite reception the receiver receives the transmitter signal with a slight time lag.
Therefore turn the aerial very slowly and wait at each position for a few seconds, until the receiver
displays the signal strength on the screen menu.
Now position your aerial 1° (degree) more towards the vertical. To do this pull on the top of
the aerial. Now move the aerial slowly back to the start point in a southerly direction.
Now set the aerial another 1° higher and move the aerial left again in an easterly direction. Repeat these steps for as long as it takes until the vertical angle and horizontal angle, e.g. for
Astra at 19.2° east, cross each other and you receive the set channel on your TV set.
Now check again as to whether you are receiving the set channel on the receiver and continue
to switch channels on the receiver with the remote control CH+/▲ and CH-/▼ buttons.
If you have the satellite you want, then optimise the alignment of the aerial until you have a clear
picture on all channels. This is achieved by optimum setting of the vertical and horizontal angles.
Please continue to use the signal strength and signal quality display, which you get by pressing the
INFO button.
Finally tighten all the screws carefully, so that the setting of your aerial can no longer be
changed. For this please adhere to the information regarding the torque in the fitting
instructions for your satellite aerial.
If you have no reception after carefully going through the process or if other faults occur, please
contact your specialist dealer.
