X-Digital Systems XDS receiver
QUICK START GUIDE
REVIEW THIS GUIDE IN ITS ENTIRET BEFORE INSTALLING
OUR XDS RECEIVER. ALSO, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE CALLING SUPPORT.
•Make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections
prior to applying AC power to the XDS receiver.
•Westwood One strongly recommends the use of a Phase Locked
Loop (PLL) LNB for your new XDS receiver. The Local Oscillator
(LO) stability of your LNB should not be above (worse than)
25kHz.
•If this XDS receiver is designated to supply DC power to the
LNB at your dish, be sure to turn on the LNB voltage on the
front panel menu AFTER the LNB is connected (See Satellite RF
Connection section 1.1 on page 2).
•Westwood One urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) for the XDS receiver for equipment protection
from power spikes or brownouts. Also consider lightning
protection if you are located in an area susceptible to frequent
lightning storms. Surge suppressors do not provide sufficient
protection.
NOTE: Appendix A contains a front panel menu map that can help
navigate through the XDS receiver settings and configuration.
