FOREWORD
We congratulate you on your choice of digital satellite tv receiver. The ODM300 is
manufactured in Scotland, UK by RSD Communications Ltd. to very high standards
and is continually upgraded with new software. Please consult your dealer or the
RSD WWW site at http://www.rsd-communications.co.uk for the latest details.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Place your satellite receiver on a protected, dry and well ventilated spot. Never put
anything on top of the satellite receiver as this prevents the necessary ventilation.
The satellite receiver contains sensitive, hazardous parts and should therefore be
placed away from childrens reach and so that it cannot fall down. Clean the exterior
of your satellite receiver with a dry and soft cloth. Never let any form of liquid
come into contact with the receiver as this can damge the components and destroy
the receiver. Never use abrasive materials to clean the receiver as this will damage
the receiver finish.
WARNING !!!
Never remove the receiver cover - risk of electric shock!.
MAINS LEAD CONNECTION
The satellite receiver should be connected directly to the mains outlet socket. The
use of a mains extension lead is not recommended.
ENCLOSED PARTS
The following parts are enclosed:
ODM300 satellite receiver.
Remote control handset.
Two LR3 (AAA) batteries.

CONNECT UP
Before connecting up the ODM300 it is essential that your satellite dish is installed
as per the manufacturers recommendations. The ODM300 is connected as per the
diagram on page 6 and as follows.
DISH
Your satellite dish should be connected to the LNB "f" type connector on the rear
of the ODM300.
UHF AERIAL
Connect your UHF aerial to ANT IN on the back of the ODM300. Connect the
TV OUT on the back of the ODM300 to your VCR or TV ANT IN/RF IN with
the enclosed UHF coaxial cable.
The TEST switch on the rear of the ODM300 can be used to aid UHF tuning. Put
this to the ON position (upper) and a test signal will be transmitted by the ODM300.
Select an unused programme on your TV and tune the TV until black and white
bars are visible. The same can be done to tune the ODM300 to your VCR. The
UHF channel from the ODM300 can be tuned between 30-45 using a small
screwdriver in the CH adjustment on the back panel.
SCART
If your TV or VCR is equipped with SCART connectors then we would recommend
that you connect up using these to improve picture and audio quality.
HI-FI
Hi-fi or home cinema equipment can be connected to the AUDIO OUT left and
right RCA connector on the back of the ODM300.
P.C.
A PC can be connected to the RS232 connector on the back of the ODM300. This
is used for upgrading the ODM300 with the latest software allowing enhanced
features etc. Please consult your dealer for the latest details.

LNB Setup
The local oscillator settings (LO) for the LNB's connected to the ODM300 must be
set before channel search can be carried out. Many LNB's have 2 LO which are
switched between by a 22Khz tone signal from the ODM300. For frequencies over
11.699 the ODM300 will generate a 22Khz signal and select the HIGH LO.
LNB SETUP
From the MAIN MENU select 4 (Installation) using the numeric keys (direct) or
arrow keys up/down (navigation) then OK to pick highlighted selection.
From the INSTALLATION menu select 1 (Install LNB). Then select 1 (LNB
Settings). In the LNB SETTINGS menu you can change between LNB 1-32
using the arrow keys right/left when option 1 is highlighted. Pick the LNB number
you would like to edit. This would normally be LNB 1 for a single LNB setup.
Select option 2 (LOW Band) and key in the LOW LO using the numeric keys and
OK to confirm. Select option 3(HIGH Band) if appropriate and key in the HIGH
LO andOK to confirm. Press STORE to save LNB changes. Press SAT/CANCEL
to move back out of the MENU's
In the INSTALL LNB menu option 2(LNB Power) allows the LNB power to be
switched Off for connection with an analogue receiver.

Automatic Search
AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SEARCH
Select MENU with the MENU key on the remote control. Select 4 (Installation).
Select 4 (Channel Setup). Select 1 (LNB) and using the arrow keys right/left
select the correct LNB that has been setup previously for the channels you would
like to scan. Select 2 (Frequency) and enter the frequency you would like to scan
using the numeric keys then OK to confirm. Select 3 (Polarity) and choose the
correct polarity using the arrow keys right/left. Select 4 (Symbol Rate) and enter
the Symbol Rate using the numeric keypad and OK to confirm. An Auto Symbol
Rate search can be carried out by selecting 4 (Symbol Rate) and before entering a
frequency with the box showing 5 dashes pressing OK. The box would now show
Auto. Please note that we would recommend entering the correct Symbol Rate if
known as the Auto search feature will take longer to search due to the large search
range that has to be perfomed.
Option 5 (FEC Code) can be left set to Auto or changed to the required FEC code
using the arrow right/left keys. If the FEC code is not on Auto and the FEC rate
being transmitted is not the same as that selected , the signal will not be locked (we
would recommend only changing the FEC code from Auto on very weak signals).
After entering the details above a search can be started by selecting 7 (Start Scan).
The display will now show the Start Scan screen and indicate if FEC Lock &
QPSK Lock have been achieved. Any NEW channels found will be added to the
TV or RADIO channel list.
AUTOMATIC NETWORK SEARCH
An automatic network search (scan multiple transponders) can be carried out by
selecting a scanned channel and going through the procedure above with the addition
of switching option 6 (Auto Scan All Channels) to On before selecting Start
Scan. If the Auto Scan box shows Unavailable then no Auto scan can be carried
out as the transmission does not carry theAuto Scan information in the table known
as the NIT. The Auto Scan multiple transponders can only be enabled if the
information is transmitted by the broadcaster and the option can be switched to On.

Manual Input & Edit
Some channels may require manual entry either because they do not transmit the
necessary tables containing the PID's or are shown as ENCRYPTED when they
are not. Channels which are described by the broadcaster as encrypted when they
are not must be added manually as detailed below.
DECODING CLEAR CHANNEL'S SHOWN AS ENCRYPTED
Select the channel. Press MENU. Select4 (Installation). Select 4 (Channel Setup).
Select 8 (Manually Input PID's). Verify that there are values in the Video, Audio
& PCR PID boxes (if they are set to 0 then the PID's will have to be set manually as
detailed below). Select 6 (Add This Channel To Channel List). The channel will
be added to the end of the channel list and will now decode when selected provided
it is not encrypted.
MANUAL CHANNEL INPUT
A channel can be manually input by going through the procedure for Automatic
Channel search but instead of selecting 7 (Start Scan) select 8 (Manually Input
PID's). Then enter the Video, Audio, PCR & Teletext PID in decimal form (hex
shown in brackets). Select 5 (New Name) and a name can be entered for the
channel by highlighting the new character and pressing OK (delete to delete a
character). Press STORE to move back to theMANUALLY INPUT PID's MENU
and press6 (Add This ChannelTo Channel List) to add to channel list. A channel
with no Video PID will be added to the RADIO channel list.
EDITING CHANNEL PID'S
This feature should only be used after ensuring that the PID's to be entered are valid. Typing
invalid PID's will cause the receiver to continually reset when the channel is selected. Choose the
required channel. Select MENU. Select 4 (Installation). Select4 (Channel Setup).
Select 8 (Manually Input PID's). The various PID's can now be edited. The
PID's should be entered in decimal form (HEX shown in brackets). After entering
the new PID's these can be stored by pressing STORE or a new channel can be
added to the channel list with these values by selecting 6 (Add This Channel To
The Channel List).
