Connecting your Receiver
This section tells you how to connect the Philips STU 901
Satellite Receiver to the equipment you already have, such as a
TV and Video Cassette Recorder (VCR).
There are many connection options of which the most common
are:
A. To a TV only, using a Euroconnector.
B. To a TV only, using a coaxial cable
C. To a TV and a VCR, using Euroconnectors
D. To a TV and a VCR using coaxial cables
E. To a TV and an S-VHS VCR
Option A is the best if you have a TV only because it gives the
best picture and sound quality - especially with D2-MAC
programmes. You will obtain even better sound if you connect
the Receiver to your hi-fi system.
See Additional Connections below.
Select one of the connection options, then follow the step-by-step
instructions below:
1. Make the connections as shown in the drawing using the
Euroconnector supplied with your Receiver.
2. Connect your Receiver to the mains socket.
3. Switch your TV ON.
4. Switch your Receiver ON (12)
5. Press button number 0 on the Receiver remote control (6).
The programme number indicator (16) on your Receiver will
show 0. Press the MENU button (8) on the remote control.
You should now see the MAIN MENU on your screen
(see rear flap).
If not, you may have to select the AN input on your TV.
6. Press MENU OFF and go to the section Aim your dish.
