A correctly installed satellite antenna is essential for the receiver to operate.
The satellite antenna coaxial cable must be long enough to reach the desired receiver
site.
Install the receiver near your television set, making sure to leave ventilation space of about
15 cm to the sides and above the receiver. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots of the
receiver.
You can install the receiver according to the following example :
- Do not yet connect the set to the mains.
- Plug F must be correctly installed on the coaxial cable of the LNB. Remove the cable
sheath, fold back the braid (ensure that the central strand of the cable does not touch the
braid, to avoid a short circuit), and manually turn the plug to tighten it on the coaxial
cable.

ENGLISH
RECORDING SATELLITE PROGRAMMES
If your receiver is connected to a VCR, you can record satellite programmes. Paragraph
2 : Connection to a VCR in the INSTALLATION OF SATELLITE RECEIVER chapter of the
present manual describes the procedure for connecting the VCR to the receiver.
Refer also to your VCR user manual.
On your satellite receiver, select the channel you wish to record, then, on the VCR, select
the programme number assigned to the satellite receiver (e.g. AV) and begin recording.
To avoid recording a different programme or nothing at all, do not change satellite
channel or switch off the receiver before recording is complete. You may, however,
change channels on your television set. This does not affect the recording.
If you wish to record a satellite programme during your absence, select the desired
channel on the receiver, and programme the recording start and stop times on your VCR.
You can leave the satellite receiver on without any problem.

ENGLISH
Your receiver is already programmed to receive the most important satellite signals. You
can, however, change the programming or add new channels at any time.
To store a new channel in memory, you need the following information (found in specialist
satellite TV magazines):
1. LNB selection 3. Video frequency
and ToneBurst signal 4. Audio mode
2. Polarisation 5. Audio frequency
First, select the programme number you wish to assign to the new channel, and then follow
the instructions.
1. Selection of LNB and of ToneBurst signal
You can connect 2 LNBs to your receiver (e.g. ASTRA and EUTELSAT II-F1 satellites).
Connect the LNBs respectively to connectors dand e(IF INPUT A/B). In addition, your
receiver can supply ToneBurst (DiSEqC) control signals. This function allows connecting 4
LNBs to your receiver. The LNBs must be connected in 2s to each of the IF INPUTs dand
e, through a ToneBurst switch.
Press the key to display the current mode, e.g. LnA1.
Press the key again to select the further mode.
DISPLAY LNB ToneBurst SIGNAL DISPLAY LNB ToneBurst SIGNAL
LnA1 A1 A Position Lnb1 B1 A Position
LnA2 A2 B Position Lnb2 B2 B Position
2. Polarisation Selection
To allow transmission of the greatest possible number of programmes, satellite broadcasts
come in two polarisations (vertical and horizontal).
Press the key to display the current polarisation, e.g. : " V".
Press the key again to select the other polarisation.
Display : " V" = vertical (14 V)
Display : " H" = horizontal (18 V)
3. Video Frequency Adjustment
Press the key to display the frequency in MHz, e.g. : «1406».
The value displayed on your receiver is not the frequency of the channel; it corresponds
to the difference between the channel frequency and the local oscillator frequency of your
LNB.
You can enter the desired frequency directly (4 digits) via the 0-9 numeric keypad, or
change the displayed value in steps of 1 MHz using the VOL + and VOL - keys.
Values outside the 700-2150 MHz band are not accepted.
