ENGLISH
For your safety
Your set-top box has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but you
must take care if you want to obtain the best results and operate it safely.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions
below. If you have any doubts about the installation, operation or safety of your set-top box,
please consult your dealer.
The model number, serial number and electrical rating of this set-top box are on a label
on its base.
WARNING!
Remember that contact with 230 V AC mains can be lethal or can cause a
severe electric shock.To avoid this risk:
Never remove the top cover from your set-top box.There are no user-
serviceable parts inside it, but there are some high-voltage live parts.
Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made.
Do not connect any of your equipment (set-top box,TV, video recorder
etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected all the other
leads.
Disconnect your set-top box from the mains supply (by disconnecting its
mains lead from the mains wall socket) before you disconnect any other
equipment from its rear panel.
Never push anything into the holes, slots or other openings of the set-top
box case (except a smart card into its correct slot).
CAUTION!
4In order to ensure a free flow of air around the set-top box, allow at least 5 cm of
space above and around the set-top box.
8Never stand your set-top box on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not cover any
ventilation slots.
8Do not place your set-top box in an unventilated cabinet or on top of a unit which
emits heat (e.g. a TV or VCR).
8Do not place your set-top box in a cabinet with more than one other piece of audio/
video equipment, for example,VCR or DVD.
8Do not use or store your set-top box in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.
8Do not put anything on your set-top box which might drip or spill into it. Never stand
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your set-top box.
8Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your set-top box.
8If you move your set-top box between locations at different temperatures, allow it to
reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
8To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk, do not pick up or otherwise move
your set-top box while it is connected to the mains supply. If you want to move your
set-top box, first disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing.You
should handle your set-top box carefully, as any damage you cause to the internal hard
disk (or any other component) will invalidate your warranty.

Installation
Inserting your smart card
1. Take your smart card from its packaging (if you have not already done so) and hold it
so that the picture is facing upwards, and the ‘smart’ patch is facing downwards and at
the end away from you.
2. Insert the smart card into the smart card slot of the front panel of your box. Insert it
as far as it will go, without forcing it.
PVR Digital Satellite Receiver
Taking care of your smart card
Do not remove and re-insert your smart card unnecessarily.
Do not bend your smart card; keep it away from children and pets.
Do not put your smart card in liquids or use cleaning fluids on it.
Activating your subscription
When you have completed the installation (see page 15), a Subscription Activation screen
will be displayed. Please follow the instructions that are given on the screen to get access
to yourViasat channel package.
Satellite dish
You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct satellite(s).
If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct satellite(s), you will need
to make adjustments. Please see the information supplied with your dish/LNB for
details on how to do this, or seek professional advice.
If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer to recommend a
local dish-installation engineer.
Quad LNB set-up
Since the PVR has two tuner inputs you need to duplicate the incoming signal.This is done
by replacing your existing Sirius Universal Single LNB with a Universal Quad LNB and
install an extra cable to the PVR, or, if you are a new customer, installing two cables to the
PVR. One Universal Quad LNB and 2 x 25 m coaxial cables are included in this package by
Viasat.
Your choice of setup depends on the number of LNB:s in your antenna:
One LNB - Your antenna is equipped with only one LNB.The antenna must be aligned
towards Sirius 5°East

10 Using yourViasat box
*DiSEqC™ is a trademark of Eutelsat.
Installation
Two LNBs - If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with two LNBs/satellite dishes, to
ensure a simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should
connect up the LNBs to the DiSEqC™ ports as shown in the LNB positions table
below.You must then connect your DiSEqC™ unit to the satellite input on your box
(see also pages 11 to 13).
The Quad LNB setup requires that two DiSEqC™ switches are installed, one for each
tuner input.
If you have more than one LNB in your antenna, it is recommended, for full PVR
functionality, that you exchange the LNBs for the other satellites also. Universal Quad
LNBs are available at your local installer.
With a Universal Quad LNB there will be two spare signal outputs, where it is possible to
connect an extra box, for example in your bedroom.

Installation
Caution
Your box operates with 230V AC, 50 Hz mains supplies.
Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the
other. You should always insert the 2-way connector into your box before you insert the
plug into the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your box from the mains is to remove the mains lead. Your
box must therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily
accessible.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a competent electrician.
Switching on for the first time
When you connect your box to the mains, your box’s front panel lights go through a start-
up sequence. After about 20 seconds, your box is switched on and out of standby, and the
standby light is green.
Make sure your TV is switched on.
Your box automatically starts searching for listings.This can take several minutes.
After completing this process, your box automatically switches to a channel.
If you do not receive a signal
If no signal is received, the following message displays.
Check all connections. Check the LNB and Transponder settings (see pages 51 to 55)

ENGLISH
If you do not see any picture
If you have connected your box to your TV (and VCR) via RF leads only, you need to tune
a ‘channel for satellite TV’ (see below).
RF Tuning
If you have connected up your equipment via RF leads, you may need to perform RF tuning
before you can watch digital satellite TV.
Note
If you have previously had an analogue satellite receiver connected to your TV (and/orVCR), you may
find that your ‘channel for satellite TV’ still works for your new digital channels. Try it to see - if it
works you do not need to perform RF tuning.
RF tuning your TV (andVCR) to your box
1. Make sure your box is out of standby (the standby light on the front panel should be
green).
2. Consulting your TV’s user guide if necessary, tune the TV until you can see a channel,
or the ‘Searching for Listings’ message on your TV screen.
3. Store your new ‘channel for digital satellite TV’ on a TV channel number of your
choice. For example, if your terrestrial channels are channels 1 to 5, and your ‘VCR
channel’ is channel 8, you may wish to use TV channel 9 as your ‘channel for digital
satellite TV’.
4. If you have a VCR, set your TV to its ‘VCR channel’, then tune your VCR until you can
again see a channel, or the ‘Searching for Listings’ message on your TV screen.
If you cannot RF tune your TV (or VCR) to your box...
Your box’s factory preset RF output channel is channel 38. (This is not the same as a TV
channel.)
If channel 38 is not compatible with your TV, for example if it is already being used as your
VCR’s output channel, or for a terrestrial channel, you may find you cannot tune your TV
to your box because of interference.
Changing the RF output channel is covered in the setup section (see page 28).
RF channels may also be known as UHF channels.
Switching on and off
Whenever you are not using your box you should put it into standby. You should not
unplug it at the mains socket.
To put your box into standby, press S.
To take your box out of standby, press S.
