BEFORE YOU START I
INTRODUCTION TO SATELLITE TELEVISION
Your satellite system consists of several component parts, some of which are
optional. As a minimum it will comprise the following items:
• A dish antenna. This is outside your house and it contains the low noise block
converter (LNC). The LNC converts the satellite signal from its incoming fre­
quency of around 11 GHz to a signal at about 1 GHz. This lower frequency signal
then passes through a cable to your satellite receiver indoors.
• The satellite receiver. This receives the satellite transmissions and allows you
to set up and select the satellite programmes you wish to watch. Several pieces
of equipment can be connected to your receiver, but only your television is
essential. The front panel of your receiver contains push-buttons (under the
cover) which allow you to bring your receiver out of standby mode and to select
the programmes, but the handset allows you much greater control.
• The television. So that you can view the transmissions, one of the TV channels
needs to be allocated to satellite reception.
• The handset. This allows you to operate your satellite receiver and set up all the
required parameters. Some of these operations are carried out using a system of
menus (lists) which are displayed on your TV screen.
You can enhance your satellite system by connecting additional components
such as:
• A video recorder (VCR). This allows you to record satellite transmissions. You
may also wish to use the receiver's Timer Menu in conjunction with your VCR to
record programmes while you are out.
• Stereo equipment. Your satellite receiver is fitted with the PANDA 1™ noise
reduction system to enhance its audio performance. PANDA 1 is a trademark of
Wegener Communications Inc. To get the maximum performance from your
receiver, you can connect it to a stereo TV or a stereo amplifier.
• A decoder. You can connect an external decoder to the receiver via a rear panel
SCART socket. With a decoder you are able to receive satellite transmissions
which have been scrambled, providing you have paid a subscription.
• A dish positioner. You may have a dish antenna which is capable of being
moved around to receive transmissions from different satellites. A compatible
dish positioner can be connected to your receiver via the DECODER SCART
connector. You can still also connect an external decoder.
