Connection and Setup

Operation on one Antenna Connection

To enable you to utilise all the reception and recording properties of your UFD 580 twin-DVR Sat receiver, such as

1.recording one programme and at the same time viewing any other programme or zapping through the programmes, and

2.recording two different programmes at the same time,

the two tuner inputs of the Sat receiver must each be supplied with a dedicated satellite signal from the antenna system/Sat outlet.

The receiver tuner inputs are factory preset on the installation menu for “#1 & #2” mode, meaning for two separate Sat antennas.

If you only have one antenna connection available, we recommend

Coax cable with F connectors you interconnect the output of tuner 1 and the input of tuner 2 by a

coaxial cable with F connectors.

Then “Loop” mode must be selected on the installation menu for the tuner input.

You will find the “Tuner input” option by pressing the button. Then select “Installation”, “LNB configuration”, and confirm the satellite you

are receiving by pressing . You can then make the settings here, though a restriction on this is that with tuner 2 you can only receive the additional programmes of the plane currently set by tuner 1 (e.g. Horizontal High).

Note:

This will only work when receiving one satellite, not in multifeed

 

reception!

If only tuner 1 is connected (with no connection to tuner 2), the setting “#1” must be selected for the tuner input. You can then have only the possibilities offered by a normal “single” receiver available to you.

If this setting is not made, malfunctions will occur and the following message will be displayed:

Weak signal or no signal!
