Preparation
This section explains how to set up your Plaza HD•S2
to receive Freesat channels.
To receive Freesat, you must connect your Plaza HD•S2 receiver
to an appropriate satellite dish, fixed in position and accurately
pointed at the 28.2° East satellite position.
For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly
recommend that you have your dish installed by a professional.
You may be able to use a satellite dish already installed at your
home. If you have any questions about the dish, please consult
your installer.
CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER
Place your Plaza HD•S2 receiver on a firm, level surface close to the
television, a mains electricity socket, and the cable from the dish.
(See Appendix A – Safety.)
2
Connect the cable from your dish to the LNB IN socket at the back
of the receiver (if the dish cable is fitted with a wall socket inside
your home, you will need a connecting cable, which you can get
from your installer).
THE SATELLITE DISH

11
SWITCHING ON
Take off the battery compartment cover from the back of the
Plaza HD•S2 remote control by lifting it up while pushing the catch.
Insert the two AAA batteries supplied, as shown on the inside of
the compartment, and replace the compartment cover.
HINT: The “F-connector” used for the satellite dish cable
connection has a central wire that is inserted into the hole
in the LNB IN socket while the collar is screwed onto the
socket. When screwing on the collar, make sure that the
central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to
one side.
Turn off your television and connect the HDMI cable supplied
between the HDMI socket at the back of your Plaza HD•S2 receiver
and an HDMI socket on your television. There may be more than
one HDMI socket on your television. If you are not sure which to
use, check the television’s manual.
Plug the power cable from the rear of the Plaza HD•S2 into an
available mains socket that is turned off.
You can also connect the Plaza HD•S2 receiver to a stereo or
surround sound system, so that you can listen to the TV sound
through the sound system instead of (or as well as) the television’s
speakers. If you connect an optical lead (not supplied) between the
S/PDIF sockets on your receiver and digital sound system, you can
listen to the TV sound in digital audio quality, or even in surround
sound, depending on the broadcast and your sound system.
HINT: If your television has no HDMI socket, then it must
be connected to the receiver by SCART cable, and you will
not be able to watch Freesat channels in high definition.
To watch On Demand TV services including BBC iPlayer and ITV Player,
the Plaza HD•S2 must be connected to your internet router or hub
using an ethernet cable (not supplied). Plug one end of the ethernet
cable into the ETHERNET socket at the back of the Plaza HD•S2, and
the other into your hub or router. Make sure the connections are fully
pushed in - you’ll hear a click as they lock into place. Consult your
router or hub’s documentation for further guidance.
If your receiver is not located near your hub or router, you could use
HomePlug powerline adapters to extend your home network using
the ring main of your house. Another option is to use a Wireless
Ethernet Bridge to bridge the Ethernet socket of the Plaza HD•S2
to Wi-Fi, enabling it to connect wirelessly to your home network.
For more information, please consult with your installer or retailer. If
you require support for these devices, you will need to contact the
manufacturer. The Plaza HD•S2 does not support USB Wi-Fi dongles.

SWITCHING ON (continued)
Turn on your TV set and choose the HDMI input (see your
television’s manual for guidance).
Switch on the mains socket the Plaza HD•S2 is connected to.
After a few seconds, the receiver’s first Freesat installation screen
shown below will appear on the television screen:

The signal check screen shows the strength and quality of the
Freesat signal received from your satellite dish. If the signal lock
fails, you should check the satellite dish connection at the back
of the receiver (switch the receiver off and reconnect the cable if
necessary). If the connection is OK, consult your dealer or installer.
When the signal lock is successful, press to proceed.
Enter your postcode using the number buttons on the remote
control, or press the red button to use the on-screen soft keyboard.

manual). If in doubt, set the resolution to 720p.
HINT: Enter your postcode with the number buttons by
pressing the correct button on the remote a number of
times to produce the relevant letter (printed above each
button), or number, in the same way as ‘texting’ with a
mobile phone. For example, for an ‘S’, you would press the
7button four times. If you make a mistake, the button

TUNING IN (continued)
and buttons, then pressing . The red button deletes
the last letter entered and the green button confirms the whole
postcode.
Your Plaza HD•S2 receiver will take a couple of minutes to find
and store the available Freesat channels. The number of Freesat
TV and radio channels found is shown on the screen as the scan
proceeds, along with an indication of how far the scan has to go.
When the scan is complete, press the button to proceed.
To use the parental guidance function, locked channels & online
content, hidden adult channels or restore to factory default, you
need to create a PIN. Enter your choice of PIN by pressing the
required number button (0, 1 … 9) for each of the four PIN digits,
then press to proceed.
The setup completion screen confirms the lock PIN you have set.
Press the button and your Plaza HD•S2 receiver is now ready
for you to watch Freesat digital TV.
HINT: When new Freesat channels are introduced, you do
not need to retune your Plaza HD•S2 receiver because it is
automatically updated.
