Optional Decoder Connections
Introduction
There are several ways of connecting the decoder to an existing
entertainment system.
The following more common examples enable you to view satellite
services and terrestrial channels, record and playback from a VCR
and listen to CD quality stereo sound on a Hi-Fi.
Consult your local installer for assistance in setting up an audio/
video configuration best suited to your requirements.
Hints to Quality TV System Configurations
• Where possible, connect cables via audio/video outputs/i
inputs (SCART or RCA) instead of RF connectors.
• Use an appropriate, correctly installed satellite dish system.
• Ensure that the system is properly earthed and protected
against lightning.
• Use high quality stereo TV and Hi-Fi equipment.
• Use high quality screened cables.
NOTE: When Video and Audio Inputs/Outputs are used, it
may be necessary to select a Video mode on the
VCR and TV in place of a TV mode.
Satellite Decoder, TV (using SCART or RF Interface)
NOTE: As the LNB carries a small voltage from the
decoder on its centre connector, it is
recommended that the decoder is switched off at
the mains before connecting or disconnecting
the LNB connector to/from the decoder.
1 Connect the terrestrial antenna connector to the RF IN
socket on the satellite decoder.
2 If a VCR is included in the installation, this is connected into
the system as per the diagram on page 10.
The following instruction applies if your TV has a SCART connector.
3 Using a SCART-to-SCART cable (not supplied), connect the
TV SCART socket on the decoder to the SCART socket on the
TV.
The following instruction applies if your TV does not have a SCART
connector.
4 Use the supplied flylead to connect the RF OUT socket on the
decoder to the RF IN socket on the TV.
5 Connect the coaxial cable connector from the LNB on the
satellite dish into the socket marked LNB IN on the decoder.
The connector on the coaxial cable should be turned until it is
finger tight.
6 If your TV has a S Video connector, connect to S VHS
connector on the decoder. Also, connect Mono Audio on
decoder to Audio In on the TV.
