Preparation
This section explains how to set up your Plaza HDR•S
to receive freesat channels.
2
To receive freesat, you must connect your Plaza HDR•S 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.
THE SATELLITE DISH
CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER
Place your Plaza HDR•S receiver on a rm, level surface close to
the television, a mains electricity socket, and the cables from the
dish. (See Appendix A – Safety.)
Connect the two cables (or one double cable) from your dish to the
LNB IN 1 and LNB IN 2 sockets at the back of the receiver (if the dish
cables are tted with a wall socket inside your home, you will need
connecting cables, which you can get from your installer). It does
not matter which of the two cables from the dish is connected to
which LNB IN socket.
