Preface
The Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) introduces
exciting new digital satellite technology. This
manual provides full information on how to use the
IRD and to enjoy the benefits of all its features.
The IRD is easy to use, even for those who are
unfamiliar with, or are perhaps intimidated by,
modern technology. The more advanced and
perhaps more complex features can be avoided
until you become comfortable with the basic opera-
tion of the system.
The manual provides:
Ń
!Important safety precautions - please study them.
Overview material - read only those parts that inte-
rest you. It is not necessary to study the manual
from cover to cover before using the IRD.
Step-by-step instructions - how to use the IRD and
its advanced features.
Step-by-step instructions - how to install the IRD
and connect it to basic sound and TV systems. It is
beyond the scope of this manual to include all
of the possible configurations, or dish installation
procedures.
Troubleshooting guides to assist you if you have
difficulty with operating the IRD correctly, or if
technical problems occur.
The IRD will be upgraded using over-the-air sig-
nals, typically early in the morning. This manual
and the IRD are therefore subject to change at any
time.

ting or removing the CAM.
Ń
!SERVICING:
Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
Refer all servicing to qualified service agents.
Ń
!LIGHTNING:
It is recommended that the IRD should remain
connected at all times to the mains supply and
satellite dish (except when working on the LNB).
The Manufacturer’s instructions for safeguarding
other equipment connected to the IRD, i.e., TV set,
Hi-Fi, etc., must be followed during lightning
storms.
Lightning protection devices for the terrestrial
antenna, mains, LNB and in the future, the modem
telephone line, are essential.
Ń
!EARTHING:
The LNB cable MUST BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED
to the installation earth for the satellite dish.
The earthing system must comply with VDE 0855,
Part 1.
Refer to Installation Indemnity on page 25.
Ń
!NOTE ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION:
Do not throw exhausted batteries in the household
refuse. Hand over the old batteries to your dealer or
public collecting points when buying new ones.
Additional Information for Units sold in Great
Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC,
50 Hz mains supply.
In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard
Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains
plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electrician. The fuse and
fuse holder must be removed from the plug as accidental
insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to
cause an electrical hazard.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug,
the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS
1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the
fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must not be
used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers
should be obtained from your dealer.
If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug
is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS
1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected
by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance
may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with
the letter "N" or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked
with a letter "L" or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the
terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured
green or green and yellow.
Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.

Digital Satellite Services
This IRD has been designed to receive and process
digital satellite signals from satellites such as Astra
and Eutelsat. The satellites act as mirrors in the
transmission process, beaming the Service
Provider’s signals back to your satellite dish.
Compared to conventional TV (analogue), digital
technology typically presents higher quality
pictures, sound comparable to CD quality, and
many more services.
Satellite technology also enables excellent reception
of satellite TV services even in remote rural areas
where good quality terrestrial reception has never
before been possible.
The term “Services” is used instead of “Channels”
because digital compressed TV and audio technolo-
gy uses the available bandwidth much more effi-
ciently, and several services can use the bandwidth
of one channel.
The signals from the satellite contain data in addi-
tion to the digital TV and audio signals. The IRD
extracts, processes and stores this information.
This provides, for instance, up to date text informa-
tion on the content and status of the various servi-
ces at the touch of a button. Convenient facilities
are also provided to manipulate received data in
order to customise viewing and listening prefer-
ences.
Many more features that are possible due to the
nature of compressed digital TV will become availa-
ble in the near future.

Digital Satellite Services/Conditional Access
Conditional Access
Most digital satellite TV and audio services are only
available on a subscription basis and can only be
enjoyed via the conditional access components.
These are the Conditional Access Module and the
Smart Card.
❒Conditional Access Module (CAM)
The CA Module provides the crucial conditional
access technology required to decode the scram-
bled signals from the Service Provider. The modu-
lar approach ensures that the cost of possible futu-
re upgrades will be greatly reduced and that the
IRD will keep in step with the latest advances in
conditional access technology.
The IRD is supplied with the CA Module inserted
into its slot in the rear panel.
❒Smart Card
You should have purchased a Smart Card from the
dealer when you purchased the IRD. The Smart
Card looks similar to a credit card and is inserted
into the slot behind the right-hand front flap of the
IRD.
A valid Smart Card entitles you to view and listen to
all the services you choose to subscribe to. Full
details of subscription options are supplied with the
card.
Your Personal Identification Number (PIN) and
subscription details are stored in the Smart Card.
