Preparation
This section explains how to set up your Plaza
DS•100A to receive freesat channels.
To receive freesat, you must connect your Plaza DS•100A receiver
to an appropriate satellite dish, xed 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 DS•100A receiver on a rm, 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 tted with a wall socket inside
your home, you will need a connecting cable, which you can get
from your installer).
