This satellite receiver is intended for reception of picture and

sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.

Protect Your Environment!

Attention!

Do not throw used batteries from the remote control handset

in the household waste. Dispose of the batteries at a special

collecting point.

Make absolutely sure that your receiver is not exposed to drip-

ping or splashing water. Protect the receiver from moisture.

In addition, ensure that the ventilation openings are never

obstructed.

Do not place your receiver near sources of heat.

Heat build-up in the receiver is a source of danger and redu-

ces the receiver´s operating life.

These operating instructions are printed on chlorine-free

paper which helps to protect the environment.

When operating the receiver in a wall unit (or in a camper, for

example), maintain distances of at least 10 cm – see illustra-

tion.

For reasons of ecology, always switch off the receiver with its

mains switch when it is not used for a longer time.

Always keep in mind: Even with the low standby power con-

sumption of 10 W, you will consume 70 kWh within one year.

Even when switched off, the unit may be damaged by light-

ning striking the mains and/or aerial lead.

During a thunderstorm, you should therefore always dis-

connect the mains and aerial plugs.

Important Information

General

Selecting the Aerial Input

For the description of the unit´s functions, it is assumed that

the aerial has correctly been installed and that the receiver

has correctly been connected.

The receiver is provided with two aerial inputs. Preprogram-

ming in the factory has been made for the standard solution,

comprising one LNC with frequency switching by means of a

14/18 V supply voltage, and polarization switching by means

of a magnetic or mechanic polarizer.

If you wish to implement different solutions, such as, for

example, two-cable distribution in the first IF level (separate

H/V), several aerials, or multi-feed mode, it is necessary to

activate the second aerial input with respect to the program-

me position.

If this channel should already be occupied by your video

recorder or a terrestrial station, it is possible to change the

channel (see paragraphe "Modulat. – Adjusting the Modulator

Channel"). You have the choice between channel 25 and

channel 60. The televison must also be tuned to this channel.

Hint

The receiver is already preprogrammed to all current pro-

grammes from a number of satellites.

See the yellow pages: "Station Table of the Satellite Stations".

16:9 Switching

If you wish a different programme order, it is very easy to

change the existing order.

If a switching voltage (6 V) for the 16:9 picture format is pre-

sent on the EURO-AV DECODER or VCR socket, this will be

evaluated and passed to the EURO-AV TV socket. Correspon-

dingly equipped TV sets then are automatically switched to

the 16:9 format.

For detailed information, see the corresponding explanation

(SORT function in the chapter "The Mode Menu").

Basic Adjustment of the Polarmount Aerial

General

A polarmount aerial is constructed so that the imaginary line,

on which the satellites are orbiting at a distance of 36000 km

Attention!

above the equator, can be followed by a single control func-

tion of the motor.

There are a number of different motor types and motor

fixings.

The action radius of the aerial (max. deflection to the east and

the west) can be restricted by limit switches inside the motor,

or by mechanical end stops. This is especially necessary to

protect the aerial from running against obstructions (walls,

trees, etc).

It is not allowed to use these limits to protect the aerial

from running against obstructions. If a test run should be

necessary for adjustments at a later date, these limits

would be overridden and the aerial thus could be dama-

ged. The following illustration shows the relations.

In addition, the receiver is provided with electronic limit swit-

ches (similar to tab stops on a typewriter) for restricting the

action radius of the aerial.

This represents the zero position of the internal counter and

is the reference point for all satellite positions programmed at

a later date.

For rotary systems, LNC´s with switchable frequency range

are used. Polarization switching can be effected by means of

a 14/18V* supply voltage or magnetic/motor-driven polari-

zers. You can also use feed-in systems (reception systems)

with 2 separate LNC´s for different frequency ranges (inclu-

ding a wave-guide separating filter).

Your receiver is provided with 2 aerial inputs (Input A, Input

B) which make it possible to connect an additional aerial (for

example, permanently pointing at the Astra satellite, which

then is permanently available).

Setting limits

When searching new satellites at a later date with the help of

the manual aerial positioning function, it may happen that the

limit switches or mechanical end stops (crash) are often run

to. To avoid this, electronic limits can be set at a short

distance in front of these end positions. For this, press the

button to let run the aerial approx. 20 impulses to the

west, then store the setting by pressing the

button.

The display indicates:

ties.

It is possible to connect in addition to the rotary aerial a fixed

aerial to your receiver. For example, the rotary system to

input A and an aerial which is permanently directed at the

Astra satellite to input B (see chapter "Connection Examples").

The skew values V2 and H2 have no influence on the values

of H1 and V1. The SKEW ALL function can be used again and

greatly facilitates programming.

The position of the rotary system should not change when

switching to a programme position used with the fixed aerial.

Enter "0°" as position for the satellite whose programmes you

wish to receive by means of the fixed aerial. The display then

indicates "--" instead of a value for the satellite position. The

rotary system then will keep its orientation (position).

One of the outstanding features of your receiver is the precise

aerial run to the preset satellite positions.

If the receiver is inadvertently switched off during an aerial

run, the impulses from the idling aerial motor are no longer

counted, resulting in an erroneous positioning for all

satellites.

By means of an adjustment run which is automatically started

when switching the receiver on again, the aerial is first driven

to its east end stop for correcting the bad positioning, then

the aerial is exactly positioned to the previously selected

¢P/F – Selecting Programme/Frequency

As already stated, the receiver has been preprogrammed at

the factory for the main programmes from the most impor-

tant satellites.

If you wish a different programme order or intend to correct

adjustments, this can easily be done by means of the buttons

on the front of the receiver and, in certain cases, with the but-

tons on the remote control handset. However, this should

only be done after having carried out the basic adjustment of

the polarmount aerial.

Datalink – Data Transmission

All memory data can be transmitted via the VCR socket

from a transmitting to a receiving Sat receiver.

Follow these steps:

Switch off both units and connect them with a phono (Cinch)

cable (sockets ).

Switch on the receiving unit.

On the transmitting unit, hold down the

button and

switch on. Now, the unit sends the programme data to the

receiving unit. While transmitting, the display indicates

"SEND" (send data). If the receiving unit recognizes the

transmitted data, the display of the receiving unit changes the

programme number indication to "RECEIVE" (receive

data).

Transmission takes approx. 3 minutes. If transmission was

succesful, the display of both units will indicate "I " for pro-

gramme position 1.

If an error should occur during transmission, the message

"ERROR" appears in the display of the receiving unit. In this

case, data transmission must be repeated.

In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard Approved mains

lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable for

your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a

qualified electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the

plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is

likely to cause an electrical hazard.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard

should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct

type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used and

the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead
