PREFACE
The DSD introduces exciting new technology. This manual provides
full information on how to use the decoder and enjoy the benefits of
all its features.
The decoder is easy to use, even for those users unfamiliar with, or
intimidated by, modern technology. The more advanced and more
complex features can be avoided until you become comfortable with
the basic operation of the system.
The manual provides:
•Important safety precautions; please study them.
•Overview material; read only those parts that interest you. It is
not necessary to study the manual from cover to cover before
using the decoder.
•Step-by-step instructions on how to use the decoder and its
advanced features.
•Step-by-step instructions on how to install the decoder and
connect it to basic sound and TV systems. It is beyond the
scope of this manual to include all of the possible
configurations or installation procedures.
•Troubleshooting guide to assist you if you have difficulty with
operating the decoder correctly, or if technical problems occur.
The operation of the decoder can be upgraded using over-the-air
signals (typically in the morning). This manual and the menus
downloaded in the decoder are therefore subject to change at any
time.
This document and the information contained herein are the subject
of copyright and intellectual property rights under international
convention. All rights are reserved. No part of this document may be
reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form by
any means, electronic, mechanical or optical, in a whole or in part,
without the prior written permission of UEC Technologies (Pty) Ltd,
the Manufacturer.
DIGITAL SATELLITE SERVICES
The DSD has been designed to receive and process digital signals
from the Pas 4, Pas 7, Astra and EutelSat satellites. The satellites
act as mirrors in the transmission process, beaming the Service
Provider’s signals back to your satellite dish. Compared to conven-
tional TV (analogue), digital technology presents higher quality
pictures, sound comparable to that of a CD, and many more
services.
Satellite technology also enables excellent reception of satellite TV
services in remote rural areas where good quality terrestrial
reception has never before been possible.
The term “Services” is used instead of “Channels” because
compressed digital TV and audio technology efficiently uses
available bandwidth, allowing several services to use the bandwidth
of one channel.
In addition to the digital TV and audio signals, satellite signals also
contain data that the decoder extracts, processes and stores. This
provides up-to-date text information on the content and status of the
various services at the touch of a button. Convenient facilities are
also provided to manipulate received data in order to customise
viewing and listening preferences.
Due to the nature of compressed digital TV, many more features will
become available in the near future.

DSD 700 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3
CONDITIONALACCESS
Although some satellite TV and audio services are free to air, most
TV and audio services are only available on a subscription basis
and can only be enjoyed via the conditional access components.
These are the removable Smart Card and a built-in conditional
access process already fitted into the system.
Smart Card
The Smart Card looks similar to a credit card and is inserted into the
slot behind the right-hand front flap of the DSD.
A valid Smart Card entitles you to view and listen to all the services
you choose to subscribe to. Full details of subscription options are
supplied with the card.
Inserting the Smart Card
The Smart Card is the key to unlocking the decoder. The decoder will
not decode scrambled TV or audio services if the card is not inserted
or is incorrectly inserted.
Inserting the Smart Card into the decoder allows instant access to
all the services you subscribe to.
The Smart Card is not required for access to menus.
The Smart Card is not required for access to menus except for the
Parental Control Options sub-menus, which requires your PIN to be
entered first. The setting of the Advanced Options parameters does
not require the Smart Card to be inserted.
The Smart Card, which is supplied separately and forms part of
your subscription, is updated over-the-air when your subscription
details change, for instance, each time you purchase additional
products (details regarding these products will be announced in the
future).
To insert the Smart Card, follow the instructions carefully.
1Open the right hand flap on the front of the decoder (see
figure) Swing the flap downwards to expose two card slots.
2Hold the Smart Card horizontally with the logo on top and the
arrows pointed towards the front of the card. Insert the
card fully into the open (bottom) slot.
