SATELLITE TV RECEPTION
To many people, satellite TV reception is something
completely new and, in some ways, strange. Some pe-
ople find it complicated, whilst other people consider it
the most exiting event
in television for many years.
Satellite reception is not complicated, although the
equipment required differs from the set you already
have for the reception of ordinary TV programmes. Pro-
bably the most striking feature is the parabolic antenna
or dish, which is quite different from aconventional TV
antenna. Indoors there will
be an extra unit (two if you
have apowered antenna) alongside the video
and the
TV set.
General
High up in space above the equator there are many
satellites orbiting the earth in what is known as the geo-
stationary orbit: this means that they appear to hover
directly above the equator over agiven point. Some of
these satellites retransmit TV signals for reception on
earth. These signals are weak and are transmitted
at a
very high frequency; they need aspecial parabolic
antenna to ensure that the transmitted TV signal can
be converted into
an acceptable picture. The antenna
needs
to be of acertain size and must be accurate-
ly aligned on (aimed at) the satellite to give a
picture ofgood quality.
Each TV satellitetransmits several programmes on sepa-
rate satellite channels.
To make optimum use of the
available frequency spectrum without the signals inter-
fering with each other, they are transmitted with verti-
calor horizontal polarization. To ensure agood
picture, the LNB (low-noise block converter) of the
satellite dish must
be turned to suit the polarization of
the required channel. There are two ways of switching
rapidly from one TV satellite channel to another: the
antenna can be fitted with two LNB's, one for each
polarization, or asingle LNB can be
Htted with amotor-
driven polarization changer known
as apolarizer. In
the latter case the polarizer is controlled by the satellite
receiver to switch automatically to the correct polariza-
tion when asatellite channel is selected.
To receive TV signals from several
TV satellites, the an-
tenna will need to
be re-aligned. This can be done by
hand, although it is atroublesome and time-consuming
operation. The preferred method is to use
an antenna
motor that tums the dish to aim it exactly at the desired
satellite.
Acomplete installation package for satellite
TV recep-
tion consists ofthe following:
osatellite receiver. This unit picks upthe desired
TV channel from the signal arriving
at the LNB in the
antenna.
The unit also generates control signals to
select the correct satellite and polarization.
oantenna power drive
for antenna motor
and polarizer. This is aseparate unit. The anten-
na powerdrive communicates with the satellite
re-
ceivervia acable link.
oantenna
with motor, LNB and polarizer (or a
double
LNB, known as an ortho modetransduceror
OMT).
About the manual
Parabolic antenna. The assembly and alignment of
the parabolic antenna are described in separate in-
stallation instructions supplied with the equipment.
The
manual goes to considerable lengths to point out the
importance
of careful assembly and alignment to en-
sure the best possible picture and minimize snow.
This
advice is particularly important for the installation of a
dish antenna with antenna motorand apolar mount.
Installation.
The installation of adish antenna with
motor and polarizer or ortho mode transducer involves
running and connecting several cables between the
antenna and the TV set.
It is, in fact, afairly complicated
installation. Study the wiring diagram carefully and
double-check
to make sure that all the wires run to the
correct connections. We
don't want to harp on
the point,
but if an item of equipment is in-
correctly connected and receives too much
power It
will be damaged.
The section entitled SETTING AND ADJUST-
MENTS describes
in detail the many steps involved in
setting up adjusting the satellite receiver. There is no
need to carry out all these steps when the equipment is
installed; the main thing is to carry out the basic
operations. The rest of the instructions
in the chapter
are used when the time comes to reprogram or to load
new programme informationinto the receiver.

SATELLITE RECEIVER
We hope that the XLE satellite receiver will give you a
new outlook on television viewing.
You will have afar
greater choice of TV programmes when you can scan
through agenerous range of progranvnes without
stopping until you see something really interesting. It is
agood idea to have asatellite programme guide handy
to helpyoufind yourway aroundthe satellitechannels.
To make things aseasy as possible for you, the installer
and user, when you receive your XLE satellite receiver,
it is already programmed for several satellite channels.
What you will have to program
is the alignment of the
antenna on different satellites, whether it is amotor-
driven antenna, and the setting of the polarizer, if there
is one. "the antenna is aligned manually (to fixed
positions) instead of by amotor, all you have to do is
select the
satelUte (the one on which the antenna is
aligned) and the programme
as shown in the satellite
programme guide supplied with the satellite receiver. "
apolarizer is included, it must be set correctly first. A
table in the guide shows how the receiver has been
preprogrammed.
In al" some 60 satelflte channels (some of which are
radio channels) distributed via six satellites are
preprogrammed in XLE, butthe receiver has even
more
memory space: the positions of upto nine satellites can
be programmed in, and there is achoice of 16
programmes for each satellite position
(9 x 16 satellite
channels). An explanatory programming model for
XLE
is shown on page 23.
When the satellite receiver is ready for use,
Le. when it
is set up in accordance with the SETTING AND
ADJUSTMENTS section in the ONners Manual, the
simplest way to control it is to use the remote control
unit. Many of the functions on the remote control unit
arealso available onthe receiveritse" (most of them are
concealed behind the front panel); see the diagrams
below and the detailed description of the receiver on
page 13. The illustration on the next page shows the
lauout of the function keys. There is adetailed

HINTS ON INSTALLATION
Use screened cables
When installing the satellite receiver, refer to the
connection examples on pages 19-21. Please read the
following advice before starting.
Connecting the motor and polarizer
II, instead of using special cables, you use separate
cables for the antenna motor and polarizer, make the
connectionsasfollows:
On the rear panel of the satellite receiver there
is atest
terminal (TEST). A
DC voltmeter can be connected
between TEST and GND (ground/earth) to measure the
AGC voltage when adjusting the antenna. The voltage
must be between 2.0 and 6.5
V. The antenna setting is
optimalwhenthe test voltage is lowest.
Signal strength meter
On the satellite receiver there is an instrument to
indicate the signal strength. The meter can be adjusted
with potentiometers (45) behind the front panel of the
satellite receiver.
II the antenna has two LNBs with an ortho mode
transducer, the LNB with vertical polarization may be
connected to input
1, for example, and the horizontally
polarized LNB to input
2. The receiver is not
preprogrammed for this arrangement; see SETTING
AND ADJUSTMENT, page 31.
Test terminal
Setting the channel selector
of tlie 1V.
If the satellite receiver is connected to the antenna
input of the TV, the channel selectorof the TV must be
adjusted for the output channel of the satellite receiver.
To make it easy to find the right channel with the
channel selector the satellite receiver has abuilt-in
