Then, confirm them all simultaneously by pressing OK. You can always go back to the previous menu by pressing the BACK button. buttons to move upwards and downwards from one Use the line to another. Use to change settings. You can also use the numeric buttons on the remote control to select a line in a menu and to enter numeric values.
The Welcome Menu
This picture indicates that you have started the installation procedure. Press the OK button to proceed.
Language
Select the desired menu language. This will also be the main language for subtitling and audio. To reach the Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Turkish and the Greek language alternative, you first have to press the double arrow down button on the remote control.
GB 12
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
RF Modulator Type
If the Mediamaster is connected to the TV with a RF cable, you must select the right RF modulator alternative, which is dependent on the country where the Mediamaster is being used. Select "Normal (PAL B/G)" when the box is used outside the UK. Select "UK (PAL I)" when the box is used inside the UK. If you get picture but no sound, the RF modulator selection might be wrong.
Antenna/Satellite Selection
Select one of the alternatives from line 1 to 4 if you have a single antenna equipped with one LNB for receiving signals from either ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR. Select one of the alternatives from line 5 or 6 if you have one antenna with two LNBs or two antennas with one LNB on each for receiving signals from the combination ASTRA/HOTBIRD or THOR/SIRIUS. In these cases you also need a DiSEqC switch. For any other antenna/LNB combination, select alternative 7. Alternatives 1-6 requires the use of a Universal LNB(s.)
GB 13
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Antenna Adjustment and Signal Check
Pressing OK from the selected alternative in the previous menu will display the Antenna Adjustment menu (shown to the right) on the screen. For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to 4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu. When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the marked channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select another channel with the buttons.) 1 Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have a high value on the Signal Strength (AGC) *) indicator (the red bar at the top of the menu.) 2 When the antenna is correctly positioned towards the satellite and the signal strength is as good as possible, press OK. If you have found a digital signal you should then normally get a picture from the marked channel. 3 The bar at the top of the menu will now change to a red/yellow/green Signal Quality (SNR) *) indicator for that specific channel. If you do not get a picture, you may be tuned to an analogue signal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is positioned towards the wrong satellite. Press the BACK button and start from point 1 again. The reason could also be that the marked channel is not transmitting at the moment. If so, select one of the other preprogrammed channels in the "Signal Quality" menu with the buttons. When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Mediamaster automatically starts searching for and downloads channels from the satellite. Please refer to page 22. (If you have a good indication in the signal quality menu, but no picture from any of the channel alternatives, try proceeding with the channel search anyway by pressing OK). OK OK
*) About Signal Strength (AGC) and Signal Quality (SNR)
The different signal indicators at the top of the menu provide information about two things: AGC: The AGC, shown with a red bar, will indicate the average strength of any incoming signal, digital as well as analogue. SNR: When a programme from a satellite channel shows up on the screen, the indicator bar will change from showing AGC to showing SNR. The bar is now red, yellow and green, and will indicate the signal quality from that specific channel. GB 14
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Line 1 through 4 on the Antenna Satellite Selection Menu
Select one of the alternatives ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR when you have a single LNB pointed towards any of these satellites. Then follow the "Antenna Adjustment and Signal Check" instructions on the previous page.
Line 5 and 6 on the Antenna Satellite Selection Menu
Select one of these alternatives when you have a single antenna equipped with 2 LNBs, or two antennas with one LNB on each, and want to watch channels from ASTRA/HOTBIRD or THOR/ SIRIUS. In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external switch since there is only one antenna input on the Mediamaster. Once installed the switch automatically selects the correct LNB for the selected channel. This external switch is better known as a DiSEqCTM switch. Since the switch can be located close to the LNBs, you only need one cable down to the Mediamaster. Connection of a DiSEqC switch: · Connect the cable from the LNB intended for channels from ASTRA (or THOR) to the connector marked LNB 1 (A) on the switch, · and the cable from HOTBIRD (or SIRIUS) to the connector marked LNB 2 (B). · Connect the antenna cable to the connector marked Receiver OUT on the switch. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANTENNA input in the rear of the Mediamaster.
Please follow the instructions on page 14, "Antenna Adjustment and Signal Check." The difference in this case is that you now will have channel alternatives from two satellites. Adjust the antenna until the indication value is as good as possible for both satellites.
GB 15
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Line 7 on the Antenna Satellite Selection Menu
This selection is necessary only if your satellite choice differs from the preprogrammed satellite alternatives (line 1-4) in the following ways; if you do not use a universal LNB or when you have more than two LNB's. You also must select this alternative when your antenna is controlled by motor (ref. to page 18.) OK
One Antenna/One LNB Configuration
Select this alternative if you have one LNB mounted on the antenna and you want to select another, not preprogrammed, satellite.
LNB Type Select the local oscillator (L. O.) frequency valid for the present LNB. The most common values, including Universal LNB, are selectable with the buttons. You can also enter a value with the numeric buttons when the symbol for the remote control is visible on the line.
OK
LNB Offset voltage If the cable down from the antenna is very long, the voltage at the LNB could be too low to change the polarization. You can increase the voltage to the LNB by 0,5 V.
OK Please follow the procedure described on page 14.
Satellite Select one of the preprogrammed satellites.
Predefined Channel Select one of the preprogrammed channels and adjust your antenna according to the "Antenna Adjustment and Signal Check" section on page 14.
GB 16
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Multisatellite/DiSEqC switch configuration
Select this alternative if your antenna system has more than one LNB and when you not use any of the alternatives Astra/Hotbird or Thor/Sirius from the menu "Antenna/satellite selection" on page 13. You can connect up to 4 LNBs. The selection of the different LNBs must be controlled by an external switch. Refer to page 15, "Connection of a DiSEqC switch."
For each LNB you connect to the DiSEqC switch, the following configuration has to be performed. As an example the following part will describe how the LNB intended for Astra 2A will be configured to the DiSEqC input 1 (A) on the switch and the LNB intended for Eutelsat W2 to DiSEqC input 2 (B). Switch type and port Here you select the input for each LNB that will be connected. In this specific example, the DiSEqC 1 input will be selected first. LNB type Select "Universal" or the local oscillator (L. O.) frequency valid for the connected LNB. LNB Offset voltage If the cable down from any of the LNB's is very long, it might be necessary to increase the voltage to these LNB's by 0,5 V. In most cases nothing has to be altered here. Leave the default value "0 V" as it is. If the switch does not change between horizontal and vertical polarization, the voltage to a LNB can be increased later. Increase the voltage: a. only if a LNB does not change polarization b. only to the specific LNB mentioned in a. above Satellite In this example, select Astra 2A because its LNB is connected to the DiSEqC 1 input on the switch. Predefined channel Select one of the predefined channels and adjust the antenna as described on page 14, "Antenna adjustment and signal check". Before you can continue, a TV picture from the predefined channel must be visible in the background. When you do have a picture and press OK to continue, you receive a confirmation on the TV screen that the configuration of the DiSEqC 1 input is ready. You will also be asked if you want to configure another DiSEqC input. (Continue on the next page.) GB 17
