Installation procedures for satellite dishes and cabling to DSDs are
outside the scope of this manual. Please refer to the manuals
provided with your satellite dish and associated equipment if you
decide to do the installation yourself.
Installation Indemnity
1 For the decoder to operate, it is required to correctly install
and align a satellite dish and a Low Noise Block (LNB)
converter.
2 Each and every INSTALLER acts as an independent
contractor and is not a servant, sub-contractor or agent of
the manufacturer. The manufacturer is, therefore, not liable
for any loss or damage of any nature whatsoever caused by
the conduct of the installer, including but not limited to:
a. Any direct, indirect or consequential damages of any
nature or any loss of profit or other specialdamages of
any nature which the USER may suffer as a result of
any breach by the INSTALLER of any of its obligations to
the USER.
b. Any loss or damage to any property of the user or
any third party, situated on the USER’s premises
even if loss or damage arises out of any part of
the INSTALLER.
3 The manufacturer does not directly or indirectly warrant or
guarantee or make any representations whatsoever with
regard to any equipment, including, but not limited to any dish,
LNB, or cabling, used by the INSTALLER.
4 Subject to any express warrant or guarantee given by the
manufacturer, in writing, the manufacturer does not:
a. Give any warranty or guarantee or make any
representation whatever in respect of any work
carried out by the INSTALLER.
b. Accept any liability for any latent or other defect in
any work carried out by the INSTALLER.
Setting-up the System
1 Install and align satellite dish (installer).
2 Connect the decoder to the TV set (either SCART to SCART
or RF OUT on the decoder to RF IN on the TV). (See Optional
Decoder Connections.)
Switching on the Decoder at the Mains
When you switch on the decoder at the mains, it goes through a
power-up sequence, then attempts to find a signal at the specific
factory-set frequency. During this process, various indications are
displayed on the decoder display and TV, as shown in the following
sequence of drawings:
NOTE: If the TV is not tuned to the channel chosen to
view the satellite services, the sequence is still
the same, but the TV will not display the scanning
screen. To tune the TV to the decoder services,
tune the TV as per Tuning Your TV.
If your TV has been tuned to accept the decoder
services, but your smart card has not been
inserted into the decoder, an error message will
appear on your TV screen.
If your decoder was in standby mode at mains
power switch off, the decoder will display a
green dot when mains power is restored. Press
On/Off symbol to restore viewing.
Tuning your TV
If your TV is not tuned to the decoder viewing channel, you will not
be able to view the satellite services. Your VCR, decoder and TV
can also interfere with each other unless they are tuned in
correctly. The output of the decoder can be tuned over the whole
UHF band using the following recommended method (refer to the
following figures):
1 Connect the satellite dish and terrestrial antenna (installer).
2 Connect the installation as shown (if VCR installed).
3 Switch on the TV and select an unused channel to use with
your VCR.
4 Switch on your VCR, then set its test signal to ON (see VCR
instruction manual).
5 Tune the TV to the test signal from the VCR. Switch off the
VCR test signal.
