DT-2100
A versatile digital receiver with a guaranteed future
One of the advantages with DT-2100 is the flexible design. The receiver is equipped with a
Common Interface and a card reader (embedded), for adding an access-system. This may for
example be Viaccess, Conax, Cryptoworks or Irdeto. Another appreciated function is VBI-text,
which allows text TV to be sent over the building net automatically. A future advantage is an
upgradeable software package. It is easy to download new functions in coming from satellite or a PC.
In order to increase reliability, all components have been selected with the greatest attention and
each unit is individually tested before delivery.
Important! Digital signals put great demands on the installation’s LNB. Older microwave heads
often exhibit an unsatisfactory phase noise value, which may reveal itself as a frozen picture or text.
Therefore, always upgrade to new microwave heads when adding digital receivers.

DVB/CI-SOCKET
CARD READER
CA MODULE
A CA module connector is located at the front.This is used for channels which are coded in different
transmission systems. Conax, Viaccess, Cryptoworks, Nagravision and Irdeto are common coding
systems which can all be used with the DT-2100.
Insert the programme card into the CA module.The gold-coloured interface on the card must point
towards the front of the module. Insert the module with the programme card into the front of
DT-2100 in the DVB/CI socket. In most cases, one side of the module is marked and this side
should face the marking for the DVB/CI socket on the DT-2100.
CARD READER
The right card reader is used for a downloaded (embedded) coding system, i.e. Conax and Viaccess.
The card should be inserted with the gold coloured contact surface turned downwards – inwards.
If the programme card is not updated, the following message will appear on theTV screen: “No subscription”
Important:
• When receiving free channels, “Free To Air”, the CA module must not be connected.
• CA modules for different coding systems can be obtained from the programme companies.
• OSD information on the programme card may differ, depending on the coding system being used.
• When the CAM should be removed the button for the DVB/CI socket should be used.

Buttons
Programming is done using the Menu-Enter-Up-Down-Left-Right buttons in conjunction with
the display or the TV screen. Program the QPSK-receiver’s IF, polarity, 22kHz, symbol rate, FEC,
sound and sub-text language. Each satellite receiver is programmed individually.
In order to program the unit, the digital receiver must be powered up (the green LED is lit up)
and a correct satellite signal must be connected.

MENU Press the Menu button.
Use the Up/Down buttons to specify a number.
Use the Left/Right buttons to move between the numbers.
ENTER Press the Enter button to save and move on to the next menu
option.
The value of the setting of frequency (If frequency) depends on the local
oscillator frequency (L.O.) on the microwave head (LNB).
The frequency of the satellite channel – L.O. frequency (LNB) =
Intermediate frequency (IF) which is to be set.
Example
A satellite channel with frequency 11 309 and LNB of L.O. 9 750.
MF = 11 309 –9 750 = 1559 is the frequency to be set.
