PIN DESIGNATIONS FOR SCART CONNECTORS
REMEMBER - SAFETY FIRST
This satellite receiver has been designed and built in the UK to provide years of
trouble-free service. The receiver has been manufactured to meet international
safety standards but, as with any electrical equipment, you must take care if you
want to obtain the best results and operate your receiver safely.
We recommend that your satellite system be installed by a qualified satellite TV
installation engineer; this manual does, however, contain instructions on how to
install your receiver in case you wish to do this yourself'
To obtain the best results from your receiver, it is Important that you read this
manual completely, especially the safety instructions below.
SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT
. Ensure that all electrical connections are properly made ih accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions (see below - Connection to the Mains Supply).
TO AVOID THE RISK OF A FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK: .,ii
Rewireable Plugs
lmportant: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
tsLUE - Neutral (N) BROWN - Live (L)
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the tenninal marked with the letter
N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or col-
oured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over
the sheath of the lead, not simply over the two wires.
A fused plug must be fitted with a 3 A fuse complying with BS 1362. lf you are
using a non-fused plug, an external fuse must not exceed 5 A.
' A second dish aerial. lf your satellite receiver is a Cual input model, you can
connect a second antenna which is probably pointing towards a different
satellite. lf you live in a block of flats it may have a communal antenna which,
depending on the model of your receiver, can be the LNB 1 input. lt is also
possible to have two LNBs on one dish.
' A video recorder (VCR). This allows you to record satellite transmissions.
You may also wish to use the receiver's Timer Menu in conjunction with your
VCR to record programmes while you are out.
' Stereo equipment. Your satellite receiver is fitted with the PANDA 1rM noise
reduction system to enhance its audio performance. PANDA 1 is a trademark
of Wegener Communications lnc. To get the maximum performance from your
receiver. you can connect it to a stereo TV or a stereo amolifier.
' A decoder. You can connect an external decoder to the receiver via a rear
panel SCART socket. With a decoder you are able to receive satellite trans-
missions which have been scrambled, providing you have paid a subscription.
' A different polariser. Each satellite programme is transmitted in one of 4
different polarisations (polarities): left hand circular or right hand circular for
direct broadcast satellites, vertical (V) or horizontal (H) for others such as
Astra. The LNB in your dish aerial will probably swap between the options
using a method known as voltage switching. lt is also possible to change
polarity using an electromagnetic or mechanical polariser, which can bring
some advantages. Depending on the model of your receiver, you can use this
different kind of polariser via a connector on the rear panel of the unit.
' A dish positioner. You may have a dish aerial which is capable of being
moved around to receive transmissions from different satellites. A Pace ciish
positioner can be connected to your receiver vja the DECODER SCART con-
nector. You can still also connect an external decooer.

Installation
We recommend that a qualified satellite TV installation engineer carries out the
tnsiallation of your satellite system. For this reason, we describe the installation
procedures on page 29 towards the end of this manual. You are not likely to need
to use the Install Menu unless you install the system yourself , add to it or change
the way it is connected.
On-screen Menus
You can operate this receiver very easily using a simple menu structure which
yoLl access by pressing the MENU key on the handset. Brief instructions are
given on the screen. The whole structure and each menu are described in detail
in this manual.
Handset
Before you start to alter the programmes or set up new ones, we recommend that
you learn how to select the existing programmes and familiarise yourself with the
handset keys, so this information forms the first part of this manual. Several very
useful functions are carried out using the function (F) key cn the handset, as
described in a separate section starting on page 10.
Advanced Features
These satellite receivers contain some advanced features which will only need to
be used in certain, specific circumstances. These are therefore described in a
separate section on page 28 of this manual. For certain functions, such as locking
programmes and menus, you need to use a personal identification number (PlN).
This section contains the factory setting of this PIN and details on how to reset it
to this value if you have forgotten your PlN.
UHF TUNING
After the equipment has been installed, you will need to tune in your receiver to a
particular TV channel if it is connected to the TV using coaxial cable. lf it is UHF TUNING MENU
connected using the SCART connector this will not be necessary.
CHANNEL 38
To perform this UHF tuning, press the F key followed by the UHF (5) key to put

number, preceded by the letter C, on the front panel of the receiver.
The receiver is shipped with the channel number set to 38, therefore channel 38
is an appropriate TV channel to choose. Channel 38 may, however, already be
assigned to something else (e.9. your VCR), in which case you must set your TV
to a different channel number and adjust your receiver accordingly. The TV chan-
nel that you choose must be clear of any other broadcasting.
You can switch on a channel scan at the menu;this will save you having to set up
the TV channel number. You simply press the numeric key on your TV handset
which you wish to assign to satellite programmes and then use the channel scan
feature on the satellite receiver to tune into the channel represented by that TV
handset key.
You can also fine tune at the menu, but as this feature is not often required, it is
described in the Advanced Features section on oaoe 28.

transmission you are viewing, then the LNB option in the LNB lnstall Menu is
probably set to the incorrect value (see page 24 - the LNB lnstall Menu).
NOTE: lf you have entered the correct frequency but see a plain coloured screen
rather than a picture, the signal may be too weak to disabte this plain screen
(perhaps because your dish is out of alignment). To help you to tune in to this
weak signal, you can disable the plain screen by pressing the F key then the
STORE key, but you must leave the menu structure to do this, then re-enter the
Tuning Menu.

Setting the LNB Offset
lf you have a single input receiver, option 1 will simply be oFFSET.
lf you have a dual input receiver, option 1 will be either OFFSET '1
or OFFS ET 2,
depending on whether the programme you are viewing has LNB 1 or LNB
2
assigned to it (see page 19 - Tuning Menu).
LNB offset is adjusted to correct for variations in the LNB output frequency.
In
practical terms, it is used to optimise the picture to get it as free from ',sparklies,'
as possible. The factory setting for the LNB offset rs nfC (automatic frequency
control) as the receiver can compensate automatically for variations in the LNB's
f requency.
Occasionally you may need to set an actual value for OFFSET, if you do not see
a good quality picture with AFC. To do this, proceed as follows.
Select a programme which has LNB 1 assigned to it (so that option 1 reads
OFFSET 1)
At option 1, press the F key to turn AFC off , then press the <( or ) key to go
through the available values one at a time until you get the clearest picture
on the
screen.
n...fi
The offset can have any value between -15 a.nd 15.
lf you have a dual input receiver, select a programme which has LNB 2 assigned
to it and repeat the above procedure to get the clearest possible picture for
OFFSET 2.
Turning LNB 1 power On and Off
The LNB 1 POWER option will only be present for dual input receivers. you
need
to have the power ON unless your LNB 1 is on a communal dish aerial. In this
case you must prevent a voltage being applied to LNB 1, as this will
alreadv be
powereo on.
At the LNB 1 PowER option, press the < or ) key to change to oN or oFF.
Setting The LNB
You can use this receiver with an LNB which covers one of the band
settings

At the LNB option, press the { or ) key to go through the frequency band op-
tions until the band which corresponds to your installed LNB is displayed (see
LNB ldentification Table below). For dual-input receivers, set LN82 as well.
IMPORTANT: lt is very important that the LNB option in this menu is set to
correspond with your LNB.
lf you set the wrong value, it can cause problems as follows:
' if you sot FSS B at the LNB Install Menu and your LNB is not suitable for FSS
B (or, conversely, you have an FSS B LNB, but set a different value at the
menu) then the receiver will select the wrong frequency, so that you will see a
different programme or even no programme at all on the screen.

case voltage switching is used to set the LNB's frequency band to LOW or
HIGH on a per-programme basis.
Electromagnetic and mechanical polarisers can have some advantages over
t/
Electromagnetic
the more usual voltage switching type, as you can compensate for the polari-
sation offset by "skewing" the polarisation to optimise your picture.
Polarisation offset occurs when the polarisation of the signals from the satel-
lite does not line up exactly with the polarisation of your dish antenna.
' The amount of skew needed is not only different for horizontal and vertical
polarities, but also varies with the frequency of the incoming signal. For this
reason, the polarity base value is set at the LNB Install Menu (where it can be
set separately for H and V polarities), but the fine tuning skew from this base
value is set on a per-programme basis at the Tuning Menu.
' Unless you are using your receiver with a dish positioner, it should not be
necessary to adjust the skew on a per-programme basis; setting the H and V
polarity bases at the Install Menu should be sufficienr.

This receiver is suitable for C-band. lt has the followrng preset
audio mooes.
c-band signals are horizontaily porarised and there is no band switching.

Connecting to a TV and VCR Using SCART Leads
The use of SCART leads is the recommended method for connecting up your satellite receiver to external
equipment. Please ensure that you use full SCART leads for this purpose.
Connect the cable(s) from the dish aerial(s) to the LNB socket(s) on the rear panel of the receiver.
Connect the UHF (TV) aerial either by looping it through the receiver and VCR (as shown on the previous page) or by
connecting it to the TV or VCR directly (as shown below).
Connect a SCART lead from the TV SCART connector on your receiver to the SCART connector on your TV.
Connect a SCART lead from the VCR SCART connector on your receiver to the SCART connector on your VCR.
NOTE: lf you have connected your TV using a SCART lead, then you can use the TV/SAT key on your handset to switch
between terrestrial and satellite reception, providing your TV recognises pin 8 of the SCART socket.
NOTE: lf you have connected your VCR using a SCART lead, to record from the receiver you will need to select AUX or
AV on the VCR as the programme to record. When replaying the VCR through the receiver, yoLt will need to switch the
receiver to standby mode or select TV using the TV/SAT key; this method of replaying is, however, only possible if the
TV is also connected using a SCART lead.
NOTE: When you are using the timer function (see the Timer Menu section on page 16) pin B of the receiver's TV
SCART connector will not force the TV into AUX mode. Therefore to watch the programme while you are recording it you
either need to use the coaxial cable method of TV connection, or use a SCART connecticn and manually select AUX on
the TV.
