4 Connections
The references in bold type - a b c etc. refer to the diagram on page 8.
4.1 Mains connection
The receiver should only be connected to the mains supply after all connections with other components and equipment have been made. This helps to eliminate the likelihood of dama- ge to the receiver or other components.
bOnce all other cable connections have been made, connect the receiver to a mains supply of 230 V/50 Hz, using the mains cable included.
4.2 External Installation
aUse a suitable coaxial cable to connect the LNB INPUT of the receiver to the LNB unit of your external installation. Also note Point 5 "Installation".
4.3 Connection to a Television set
After you have connected your receiver to the TV set as described in this chapter, it may be necessary to adjust the receiver to the TV broadcasting norm used by your TV set, before making further adjustments and settings.
Please also note Point 5.3 (Video system).
4.3.1 By means of a Scart cable:
In order to obtain the best picture quality possible, we advise you to use a Scart cable to connect your receiver to the TV set.
The procedure is as follows:
eConnect the receiver (SCART TV connection) with the TV set (Scart connection), using a Scart cable. If your TV set is fitted with an appropriate connection, the set will automatically switch to AV mode, and thus receive the satellite signal, whenever the receiver is switched on.
4.3.2 By means of an HF connection
If your TV set is not fitted with a Scart connector, the receiver will have to be connected to the antenna input of the TV set. If this form of connection is used, sound will only be availa- ble in mono mode, and not in stereo.
The procedure is as follows:
fUsing a suitable TV connection cable (coaxial), connect the receiver (HF OUT) to
the antenna input connector of your TV set.
cThe cable feeding the terrestrial signal from the antenna should be connected to the
Terrestrial Antenna Input of the receiver.
Now you must tune the TV set to the transmission channel used by the receiver. Select a free programme slot on your TV set, and select channel 38 (if necessary, refer to the instruc- tion manual of your TV set for this).
If you do not receive a clear picture on channel 38, this may indicate that either this or a neighbouring channel are already receiving a programme signal via the antenna. You can check on this by temporarily disconnecting the antenna cable from the Terrestrial Anten- na Input of the receiver. If you then temporarily receive a clear picture, you should select a different transmission channel within the receiver's range of 21 to 69.
