Preface Dear Customer, we congratulate you on the purchase of the SAT Upgrade Kit which enables you to receive the programs transmitted via TV satellites without the need for a separate SAT receiver and an additional remote control. These operating instructions explain the operation of your TV set for the reception of satellite programs.
LNC frequency for 100 Hz sets The most popular SAT stations are already stored in this TV set (see the station table). These stations are divided into the following groups: ASTRA TV stations, HOTBIRD TV stations and EUTELSAT TV stations. Each of these groups can be assigned only in its entirety and is stored starting at the programme position you specify. In the case of the ASTRA satellite, the group is subdivided into TV and radio stations.

V - AV Before your transfer the desired group of SAT stations, you must always set and store the required LNC frequencies. If these LNC frequencies are not set, the stations will not be stored with the correct channel number or the TV set will be tuned incorrectly if you enter a station frequency.
LNC frequency for 50 Hz sets The most popular SAT stations are already stored in this TV set (see the station table). These stations are divided into the following groups: ASTRA TV stations, ASTRA radio stations and EUTELSAT TV stations. Each of these groups can be assigned only in its entirety and is stored starting at the program position you specify. Example: You have programmed your TV set to receive terrestrial stations (stations you receive via the normal aerial) on program positions 1 to 3.

2. LNC Power Supply Setting the LNC voltages TV satellites such as ASTRA 1A - D transmit the various programs with vertical (V) or horizontal (H) polarization. If the polarization of your satellite aerial is switched by means of the LNC voltage, you must set the appropriate voltage for each station. The two voltages which are required for selection of the polarization can be set in the menu „LNC power supply“.

3. Polarizer Setting the polarizer values In some satellite aerials, horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarization of the LNC is selected by means of a magnetic polarizer. With this type of aerial, up to 5 current values (polarizer 1..5) are sent via the polarizer socket (on the back of the TV set) to the magnetic polarizer, which then sets the appropriate polarization.
4. Aerial Control Assigning LNC or polarizer values Depending on the type of satellite aerial you use, there are three methods of aerial control for selection of H and V polarization: • control by means of the LNC voltage (the most common method), • control with the aid of a magnetic polarizer, • control with a relay. The appropriate control method for polarization must be selected in the station table.

4. Aerial Control SAT frequency input / station search A station table is enclosed with the SAT upgrade kit. This station table can, as described in section 1 „SAT programming/Tansferring programs“, be transferred to sequential program positions, starting at a specified position. If the channel assignments of the SAT stations are modified, or if new SAT stations are transmitted, these can be found and stored with the station search function.
4. Aerial Control Switch off AFC When stations are assigned to the various programme positions, they are automatically tuned to the centre frequency. This is normally satisfactory. If the results of this automatic tuning are unsatisfactory, you can turn off the AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) function for specific programme positions and adjust the tuning manually. Select the programme position which is to be tuned manually. Press this key on the remote control 1. Call the menu „Aerial control“.
5. SAT Sound Settings Muting and sound mode All parameters for the sound adjustment for a satellite station can be programmed in the submenu „Adj. SAT sound“. These adjustments need to be made only if new stations, whose settings are not stored in the SAT program assignments, are to be received. Press this key on the remote control The screen displays MENU 1.

6. Picture Adjustment Video level/Bandwidth The Video level adjustment can be used to compensate for the differing modulation levels of various satellite stations and thus to maintain a constant contrast. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to get rid of interference with the Bandwidth adjustment.
7. Decoder Operation Setting the video signal In general, the video signal is always set to „FBAS“ (composite color signal). If you use a decoder which requires a baseband signal (see operating instructions for your decoder), the video signal must be set to „BB“ (baseband). Press this key on the remote control 1.
On TV sets with 1 EURO socket In the AV menu, you can define which of the connected AV devices is to supply the picture for the TV screen. Once the settings have been defined, you can switch to standby mode with the key and the defined function is executed in standby mode. AV device is a generic term for all external audio/video devices, such as video cassette recorders, camcorders, video disk players, photo CD players, etc., which can be connected to a TV set.
8. Recording SAT Programs On TV sets with 3 EURO sockets In the menu „AV recording“, you can define which of the connected video recorders is to record the SAT program. The connected video recorders do not need to have their own SAT receivers. Example: You want to record a satellite program from the station on program position 10 on video recorder 1, which is connected to the EURO-2 socket. Tune to the SAT station from which you want to record. Press this key on the remote control 1.

Timer-controlled Recording of SAT Programs On TV sets with 1 EURO socket The menu SAT timer recording should be used only if you want to record a SAT program on a video recorder which does not have its own SAT receiver. With this menu, a SAT signal from the TV set can be made available to a simple video recorder without its own SAT receiver. Eight SAT timers can be preset up to two months in advance.
10. SAT Radio Operation Programming radio stations Many SAT stations use so-called „sound subcarriers“ to transmit additional radio programmes. One SAT station can transmit several additional radio programmes. Some radio stations are already programmed in the factory (see the SAT station table, „ASTRA radio stations“). These can be assigned to programme positions with the aid of the menu „SAT programming“ (see Section 1).

Programming ADR radio stations 11. SAT-ADR Radio Operation The ASTRA satellites also transmit ADR (ASTRA Digital Radio) programmes. The digital transmission of speech and music permits highquality reception because the signals are not subject to interference. Some ADR stations are already programmed in the factory (see the SAT station table „ASTRA ADR radio stations“).

14. Program position management for SAT stations If a TV set with 225 program positions is fitted with a SAT upgrade kit 081 NB 1010 or 083 NB 1018, a separate operating level for SAT radio stations is added to the menus. The number of TV stations which can be stored in the TV station table then depends on the number of SAT radio stations stored in the radio station table and vice versa.
Quality – A matter of principle. With the trend-setting Metz technology you will allways make the correct choice. See your Metz dealer.
