To receive Freesat you must
connect your Plaza HD•S2 receiver
to an appropriate satellite dish,
fixed in position and accurately
pointed at 28.2° East satellite
position.
For safety reasons and to provide
reliable reception, we strongly
recommend that the dish is
professionally installed. If you have
any questions about the dish, please
consult your installer.

CONNECT TO A DISH

Place your Plaza HD•S2 receiver
on a firm, level surface close to
your television, a mains electricity
socket, and the cable from the
dish.
Connect the cable from your dish
to the LNB IN socket at the back of
the receiver.
Make sure your television is
turned off and connect the HDMI
cable to the HDMI socket on the
rear of the Plaza HD•S2 and to an
HDMI socket on your television.
If you need more guidance, check
your television manual.
Plug the mains power lead from
the back of the receiver into an
available mains socket that is
turned off.
