Connect the low voltage adapter cable to the power-supply socket (6).

Warning!If the power-supply cable has been modified or another is to be used, ensure that the polarity is correct. The receiver will be damaged if the polarity is wrong.

For stationary applications use the supplied 230V AC / 16V DC power unit.

Satellite signal connection

conductor.

Pre-installation reception system

The control signal for conventional reception systems has already been pre-set by the manufacturer, also the 14/18V polarity switching and the 22 KHz-switching sig- nal for changing satellites when using multi-feed reception systems.

If a DiSEqC switching-matrix has been installed in the receiving system, the setting ”ON” i.e. ”Tone Burst” must be selected from the sub-menu ” DiSEqC” during the basic ”DiSEqC” setting-up.

See also the section ”Basic Setting-up”, DiSEqC menu.

Also read the Matrix technical instructions, and contact your qualified technician regarding the satellite reception system as well.

TV and Video-recorder (VCR) Connection

∙Connect the satellite receiver (TV scart-socket) to the TV with a scart-cable. If you have a stereo TV, the scart connection will supply stereo quality tone.

∙The video-recorder should also be connected to the satellite receiver (VCR scart-socket) with a scart-cable.
