Quick Start:

After initialisation, the Language selection screen will be displayed.

After selecting the menu language, the receiver will display the Channel Tuning Menu: (Menu, Channel Setup, OK)

1. If you wish to only tune to a specific Network or Bouquet of channels, move the cursor to highlight the ???Bouquet??? box and use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to scroll through the pre-stored Bouquets. You should now see both signal meters reading a good signal level and the receiver will prompt you to press OK to start tuning all the channels from the selected Network or Bouquet.

2. If you only wish to download Free-to-Air channels, high-light the FTA box and turn the option to ???on???.

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).

Manual Entry (see also ???Advanced User Guide??? ):

Viewing your channels:

There are several ways to access the stored channels:

Using the UP/DOWN keys on the remote handset to access the channels sequentially.

Using the numeric keys (0-9) by typing the channel number to access the channels directly.

Using the TV key on your handset to display the TV channel list. Use the UP/DOWN keys to move the cursor to highlight the desired channel, then press OK to view that channel. You may also use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to skip to the next or previous page of the channel list for quicker scrolling.

??Using the ???Favourite Channels List??? - You may add all your favourite TV and Radio channels

into the ???Favourite Channels List???. Please see next section on instructions for using and editing favourite channels.

Multi-satellite:

As you download channels from different satellites, your digital satellite receiver will store in dedicated satellite groups. For more details please refer to the Advanced User Guide.

Note: At any time if you wish to return to your original cursor position, simply press the HELP key on your remote.

10

Favourite Channels:

Before you can use the???Favourite Channels List???, you must first add your favourite channels into the favourites list. Please refer to the instructions below:

2.You will now see the TV listing with your current channel highlighted.

3.Press the FAVOURITES key (heart shape) to add a favourite icon next to the channel name. This channel will be added to the ???Favourites List???. To add more channels to your ???Favourites List??? move the cursor to highlight another channel and press

This receiver is equipped with a unique dual EPG system which gives you two easy ways to view the programme information (what???s on now and what???s on next)! When transmitted by the broadcaster, the EPG system can display a variety of programme information ranging from start and end times of a programme to additional information about the programme itself. You can easily select and view a programme on the EPG by highlighting it and pressing OK.

11

Selecting different audio channels:

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.

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.

Missing Audio icon

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.

Advanced users guide:

Tuning to different channel frequencies:

If the satellite you desire is not in the Preset listing, or you want to tune the receiver to a different set of channels, please follow the instructions below:

Tuning Modes:

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.

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.

Edit the Channel details by following the steps below :-

1.Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT keys, to move the cursor from one field to another.

2.Use the LEFT/RIGHT, F1 and F2 keys to enter the channel name.

3.Select the channel type whether it is a TV channel or a Radio channel.

4.Decide whether you would like to enter the PIDs in decimal or hexadecimal form.

5.Use the F1/ F2 and 0-9 keys to enter the PID values.

6. When you have finished and are ready to store and display that channel, press OK.

Note:

In order for manual tuning to be successful, the PCR PID must be entered. In many cases the PCR PID is not published. Fortunately, in nearly all cases the PCR is the same as the Video PID or the Audio PID or 8190 in decimal or 1FFE in hexadecimal.

The Teletext PID is optional and can be ignored when the value is unknown.

17

Setup Satellite:

If your desired satellite position is not on the Preset List, you can manually edit an existing satellite or add a new satellite name to the preset list.

To add a new satellite to your list, you must first enter the channel tuning mode:

18

Editing channels:

Should you wish to modify or view details of a particular channel, you may do so by using the Edit Channel Details menu.

Please note that apart from editing the channel name, editing any of the channel parameters will cause the channel to either be lost or changed (different audio/video). This menu is best used for checking channel parameters downloaded from the broadcaster.

Note: It is important to identify whether the channel is TV or Radio so that the channel is stored under the appropriate channel list (TV or Radio List).

Arrange:

The channel sort facility allows you to???drag and drop??? channels to your preferred location. Within the ???Channel Setup??? menu, you will find the Sort Channels option:

Move the cursor to highlight ???Arrange??? in the Channel Setup menu and press OK.

19

Sort Free to Air Channels:

This function automatically separates the scrambled channels from the free-to-air channels by actually checking each channel for video and audio. The user first decides whether to sort TV or Radio channels (or both at the same time), and then selects whether to delete the scrambled channels or simply move them to the end of the channel list.

Depending on the number of channels to be sorted, the time taken to complete the process will vary and the progress bar will indicate progress in percentage.

To change the mode of operation, use the Left/Right or OK key.

Use F1 key to start the sorting progress and ESC to abort.

Channel:

Displays the current channel being checked.

Progress:

Displays the sorting progress in percentage.

Available/Unavailable:

Displays a visual ratio between free channels to scrambled channels.

N.B.: Please note that channels with no signal lock will not be moved or deleted.

26

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.

Common interface:

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.

46

Common Interface (cont.):

Apart from the Common Interface menu, other on-screen messages may appear while in viewing mode. Here are two examples:

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.
