Information on direct satellite reception Selecting the antenna location. Viewed from Europe, all TV satellites are located in the south, therefore you must select the installation location so that the antenna points southwards. The satellite systems with the largest, freely receivable programme ranges are ASTRA® (19.2° east) and HOTBIRD (13° east). Viewed from Central Europe, these satellite positions are located just a few degrees east of the exact south direction. HOTBIRD ASTRA S When selecting the installation location, you must ensure that the antenna is not covered by obstacles, such as e.g. bushes, trees, walls or roof overhangs. Installation beneath the roof is not possible! The antenna should be installed on a house wall protected from the wind, if possible. The necessary wall mounting is available as an accessory and is not part of this system. If mounting on the roof, the antenna should be fixed as low as possible on a mast. The local VDE regulations, which prescribe potential and lightning protection regulations, must be observed. Alignment with a satellite. Leave the screws loose on the mast bracket until you have set the final position! After fixing the antenna at its location, you should have it point southwards with the LNB in front. The antenna height is set using the scale on the mounting plate. To set the height, bend the antenna up and down carefully, until the desired number of degrees is set. The specified values can naturally only apply for vertically mounted masts or wall brackets. When setting the angle, do not pull on the LNB mounting arm (risk of breaking!).

Information on direct satellite reception For precise alignment of the antenna, the complete cabling must now be connected. The television and the receiver should be located in the immediate vicinity of the antenna. It is almost impossible to align the reception system by “shouting” e.g. from a distant television. A SAT finder (art. no. 37351) or the signal strength indicator on a digital receiver is ideal for aligning the antenna. Leave the equipment disconnected from the mains supply until cabling is complete! Connect the antenna cable to the LNB. Carefully introduce the copper-coloured internal conductor of the cable into the LNB socket. Place the thread of the plug directly onto the socket and screw the plug as tightly as you can by hand. Fix the other end of the cable to the jack on the satellite receiver in the same way (LNB IN). With a scart cable, connect the scart socket of the receiver (TV) to the scart socket of your television. Your cabling now looks like this: SAT ANTENNA LNB RECEIVER Please insert the provided batteries into the remote control. Now connect your television and the receiver to the mains. Press the Stand By button on the receiver or on the remote control. It may be necessary to switch your television into so-called A/V mode. You can do this with the remote control on your television. The procedure is different for each television unit. The relevant button could be marked 0, AV or EXT. Please refer to the instructions for your television. 50 39746 39745 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 51 4. Information on direct satellite reception You must now move the preset antenna in millimetre steps, with the screws only hand-tight. Please note that there must not be any obstacles between antenna and reception direction, and that you must not stand in front of the antenna area. When you have mounted the antenna precisely southwards, as described above, and have set a height angle as specified in the table, turn the antenna slowly to the left, i.e. to the east. (If the antenna is being installed in Eastern Europe, turn it slowly to the west). When moving the antenna, observe the screen or any signal indications provided (e.g. Sat finder/Digital receiver). When a signal/TV picture appears, switch between a few programmes on the receiver to check whether the antenna is aligned to the correct satellite. When the signal quality has reached its maximum, you should also move the height angle up and down slightly, in the smallest steps, to further optimise the quality. If you do not obtain any reaction or only a weak signal level, you should alter the height angle by a few millimetres up or down and start the satellite search again by swivelling to the side. When you have optimally set the antenna, tighten the screws on the antenna. Observe the screen at the same time, as sometimes the antenna is moved slightly during fixing and the signal strength decreases again. Fitting an F-plug, if you need to shorten your cable IMPORTANT: Please proceed with great caution when fitting the F-plug. Failure to comply with the following instructions could cause malfunctions or destruction of the SAT receiver!! – Please use only continuous antenna cables. • Strip the cable for a length of 8 mm as far as the internal conductor (with a sharp knife). • Remove the protruding wires of the shielding braid. • Remove 10 mm of the plastic casing until the shielding braid is bared. • Make sure that no wires of the shielding braid can touch the internal conductor. • Carefully screw the F-plug onto the cable, until the internal conductor terminates flush with the front edge of the F-plug. The shielding braid is now connected to the F-plug. • Check the F-plug for short circuits. Look into the F-plug from the front; the internal conductor must be located on its own in the centre and must not be touched by any wires of the shielding braid! 39746 39745 51 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 52 5.

Connections Connection to the SAT antenna The DiSEqC technology allows a large number of connection variants e.g.: • A permanently aligned SAT antenna • Two permanently aligned SAT antennae or Multifeed antennae with DiSEqC 2-way switch (art. no. 3932) • 4 permanently aligned SAT antennae with a DiSEqC 4-way switch (art. no. 3934) • 2 permanently aligned Multifeed antennae with DiSEqC 4-way switch (art. no. 3934) • A rotating DiSEqC 1.2 rotor system, combined with several permanently aligned antennae TIP: One or more Universal LNBs (reception converters) are required to receive satellite programmes. The following technical data should be stated on the adhesive label of the LNB: 10.6 GHz (or 10,600 MHz) and 9.75 GHz (or 9,750 MHz) for the so-called oscillator frequencies. No other values or data are relevant, and the receiver is ready for operation after connection. Proceed with the utmost caution when preparing the antenna cable! As voltages and switching signals are transported via the antenna cable, you must make sure that the shielding braid and the aluminium foil have good contact with the F-plug and that no short-circuit occurs in the internal conductor of the cable! After screwing on the F-plug, check that the internal conductor is not being touched by any of the wires of the shielding braid. A signal strength indicator is provided for aligning the antenna. Slowly swivel the antenna southwards, observing the signal display on the screen. If you cannot find a signal, change the inclination of the antenna a little. When aligning for the first time, it is advisable to directly connect the antenna and receiver using the shortest possible antenna cable, in order to exclude potential error sources Examples: Installation: 1 Single LNB For fixed or rotating antenna systems with 1 x Universal Single LNB. Only one cable will be used between LNB and receiver. Setting in menu “LNB settings”: feed-through. Both tuner will receive only signals from one SAT-IF selection (H/V Low/High). Remark: Independent use of both tuners for record and play is limited! Analogue SAT receiver 54 39746 39745 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 55 7.

SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms 22 kHz pulse: This pulse, generated by the receiver, is used to control switches or to switch Universal LNBs to the digital range. Analogue programmes: In comparison with digital signals, analogue signals require a considerably greater quantity of information. With the constantly increasing range of programmes, the bandwidths available would no longer suffice in the long term. For this reason, analogue technology is gradually being replaced by digital transmissions. However, analogue transmission will still have a “right to exist” for a number of years. Antenna cable: The antenna cable sends the signals arriving from the LNB to the receiving part of the satellite receiver. In the reverse direction, the receiver sends switching signals and voltages via the antenna cable to the receiving system (switch, LNB…). As signal losses are considerably greater in SAT systems and the switching signals are very small, only high quality, low-attenuation antenna cables should be used. The cable paths should be as short as possible. The F-plug, the shielding braid and the aluminium foil form the negative pole and must not touch the internal conductor (positive pole). AV operation: AV means Audio/Video. The connection of several devices (TV, SAT receiver, video recorder…) is generally performed with a scart cable. This connection provides the best picture and sound quality and does not normally require any additional settings. Satellite receiver and video recorder “register” via a switching voltage at the scart input of the TV device (or video recorder/digital receiver). If this switching does not occur, the SCART input must be manually activated via the remote control of the (TV or video) unit (e.g. AV or 0 button). Bouquet: Bouquet is a French expression meaning “A bunch of flowers” in English. Bouquets are bundled digital programme packets (e.g., ARD Digital), consisting of TV and radio programmes offered by a transmitter. DiSEqC: The DiSEqC technology was developed by Eutelsat to create an additional switching criterion (in addition to the 22 kHz pulse) and to enable the reception of several satellite positions. From Version DiSEqc 1.2, this technology also permits control of antenna rotors via the antenna cable. Decoders: Decoders are required to decode encoded programmes (“Pay TV”). Decoding incurs a monthly/annual contribution, depending on the programme provider and range. There are different encoding systems and video standards. Digital reception: To receive digital programmes you need a digital SAT receiver and a Universal LNB. Digital programmes are usually provided encoded. In order to decode them, a “chip card” is inserted into a card drive. Attention: Not all digital receivers are equipped or can be retrofitted with a (suitable) card drive! 82 39746 39745 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 83 13. SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms Transfer switch: Transfer switches (sometimes integrated into multi-switches) are required to fan-in SAT and terrestrial signals. These must be separated again by “reversed” transfer switches or SAT connection boxes. Reception frequency: As with VHF reception, each satellite programme has a reception frequency. In contrast to tuning a radio transmitter, further settings are necessary (polarisation, DiSEqC/22kHz/LO frequency)! If e.g. the LO frequency no longer agrees with the connected LNB, the transmitter cannot be received! FEC: FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION: An error correction system for the transmission path. High Band: Frequency range of 11.7-12.75 GHz. Used by satellite systems for broadcasting digital programmes (see 22 kHz). Ku Band: Transmission range of satellites 10.7-12.75 GHz (Low and High Band). LNB/LNC: Low Noise Block/Converter. This is located in the focal point of the satellite antenna (exception: “Multifeed”), and collects and amplifies the signals. As the received signals are too high frequency for switching via the antenna cable, they must be reduced by means of an “oscillator” (see LO frequency). The LNB is supplied with voltage by the satellite receiver via the antenna cable and receives the necessary control commands (horizontal or vertical reception, High or Low Band). Low Band: Frequency range of 10.7-11.7 GHz. Used by the Astra satellite system for broadcasting analogue programmes, amongst other things (see 22 kHz). LO frequency/oscillator: LNBs have an oscillator with a fixed LO frequency for Low Band (9.750 GHz), while Universal LNBs have an additional oscillator for High Band (10.660 GHz). These values are already preset for LNB 1 to LNB 4 and should only be changed if you are using an older LNB type and the LO frequency of your LNB is known. Multifeed: An antenna on which two or more LNBs are mounted, which can receive different satellites. 39746 39745 83 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 84 13. SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms Multi-switches: Multi-switches are used in SAT distribution systems (from 3 subscribers/receivers). Multi-switches have at least 2 LNB connections for 1 double LNB (horizontal 18 V and vertical 13 V, possibly terr. input). In digitally compatible or Multifeed systems, at least 4 LNB inputs are required: horizontal 18 V, vertical 13 V, horizontal 18 V + 22 kHz and vertical 13 V + 22 kHz. In digital systems (for one SAT position) a Quattro LNB is connected to these connections, in Multifeed systems two double LNBs. Multi-switches are available for 4 and 8 subscribers. With a further multi-switch, up to 16 subscribers could be connected. NIT: Network Information Table: Information about reception data sometimes broadcast by programme organisers. Serves for automatically finding all programmes broadcast by the organiser. Polarisation (horizontal/vertical switching): The signals coming from the satellite are broadcast in two levels. As a result, the number of receivable programmes is practically doubled. Satellite receivers are equipped with a so-called horizontal/vertical switching to enable selection of the two polarisation levels in the LNB. For this purpose, the two voltages are 14 volt for vertical and 18 volt for horizontal. Quad LNB: For direct connection of 4 receivers. The multi-switch is already integrated. Quattro LNB: For digital distribution systems. LNB with four outputs for horizontal, vertical, High and Low Band. Operation is only possible with 5/4 multi-switches. Noise figure: Given in dB: Specifies the quality of the amplifier used in an LNB. The smaller the value, the better the LNB. Satellite: E.g. ASTRA or EUTELSAT system: The satellites are located in a geostationary orbit at a vertical height of approx. 36,000 km above the equator. Satellite position and illumination zones (footprints): Most satellites are located in a geostationary orbit 36,000 km above the equator. Viewed from Europe, these satellites are located southwards. The satellites “illuminate” different regions on the earth, similarly to the shine from a flashlight. In the centre of this illumination zone, smaller antennae are sufficient, while at the edges larger antennae must be installed. Reception is not possible outside these zones. Some programmes are only intended for reception in a particular country, but can be received without problem in neighbouring countries. Bad weather conditions (snow, rain) impair reception. This impairment can be reduced with precise antenna alignment or by using a larger antenna. 84 39746 39745 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 85 13. SAT lexicon – Explanations of technical terms SCART: 21-pin plug standard for bidirectional image and sound transmission. Switching voltages and data can also be transmitted. 10-pin scart cables are sufficient for a satellite receiver or VHS video recorder. If a decoder or Super-VHS video recorder is used, 21-pin scart cables must be used! There are 3 common standards, which must be set on the video recorder or television so that the picture signal of the SAT receiver can be transmitted faultlessly: FBAS (setting on TV/video e.g. “C-Video”) for SAT receiver, standard video recorder (e.g. VHS or Video8) S-VHS (“Y/C” or “S-Video”) for Super VHS or Hi8 video equipment, sometimes also for digital SAT receivers. RGB (“RGB” is used e.g. for laser disk players, decoders or large-screen projectors). Switching voltage: Switching voltages switch a connected device to a particular status (e.g. AV mode) via the scart cable. Switched on satellite receivers and video recorders in playback mode usually “force” the television to switch to AV mode. Not all TV and video devices recognise this switching voltage, and must be switched over manually if necessary. Symbol rate: Data speed of the signal. Terrestrial: Terrestrial programmes are transmitted from and received on earth (lat. “Terra”). This includes, for example, TV programmes in the UHF and VHF range (including cable TV!) and VHF radio transmitters. Terrestrial antennae can be connected to the SAT system via a so-called transfer switch or multi-switch with terrestrial input. Terrestrial transmitters and SAT signals can thus be transmitted via a shared antenna cable and then be divided up again using a SAT connection box (SAT/TV/Radio). The introduction of terrestrial programmes is recommended, because: 1. Not all TV and radio programmes (e.g. regional transmitters) are transmitted via satellite; 2. Terrestrial programmes can be recorded independently of SAT-TV; 3. They can still be used in the event of failure of the SAT system (e.g. antenna displaced by storm). Transponder: Transmission unit on the satellite: In the digital range, the parameters are described by specifying frequencies and symbol rates. Universal LNB: Universal LNBs enable the reception of the entire lower (Low Band) and upper frequency range (High Band). Universal LNBs are mainly required for the reception of digital programmes. Standard types: Universal Single LNB (max. 1 subscriber), Universal Twin LNB (max. 2 subscribers) and Universal Quattro LNB for distribution systems. Distribution or multi-subscriber systems: The basis for constructing a distribution system (2 - 16 subscribers) are double or twin LNBs (2 outputs), or Quattro LNBs (4 outputs) in digitally compatible systems. The connections of the LNBs are connected to so-called multi-switches (e.g. 4- or 8-way). The outputs of the multi-switches are run directly (“radially”) to each subscriber. Additional terrestrial programmes (local TV and radio transmitters) can be introduced. 39746 39745 85 39746_BDA_0604_eng #38 29.06.2004 14:22 Uhr Seite 86 14. Service Dear Customer!
