Installation
Typical connection of a two-way DiSEqC switch:
• Connect the cable from the LNB that is intended for channels
from the ASTRA satellite (or THOR) to the connector marked LNB
1 (A) on the switch.
• Connect the cable from the HOTBIRD satellite (or SIRIUS) to the
connector marked LNB 2 (B).
• Then, connect the antenna cable to the connector marked OUT
on the switch.
• Connect the other end of this cable to the ANTENNA input at the
rear of the Mediamaster.
For each LNB that you connect to the DiSEqC switch, the
following configuration has to be carried out.
As an example, the following section will describe how the LNB
intended for ASTRA will be configured for DiSEqC input 1 (A) on the
switch and the LNB intended for HOTBIRD will be configured for
DiSEqC input 2 (B).
Switch port
Select the input for each LNB that will be connected. In this
example, the DiSEqC 1 input is selected first.
LNB type
Select the correct LNB type for your configuration, e.g., "Universal".
LNB Offset voltage
If the cable from any of the LNBs is very long, it might be necessary
to increase the voltage to these LNB's by 0.5 V.
In most cases, nothing needs to be altered here. Leave the default
value as "0 V". If the switch does not change between horizontal
and vertical polarization, the voltage to an LNB can be increased
later. Increase the voltage if an LNB does not change polarization.
Satellite
In this example, select ASTRA 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 until
a TV picture from the predefined channel is visible on the screen.
• Press opt to view the predefined channel.
Repeat this procedure for the second DiSEqC port, but this time
select 2 from "Switch port" and HOTBIRD as the satellite.
When the configuration of both DiSEqC ports has been completed,
press OK. A confirmation that the DiSEqC ports have been
configured will appear. You can now start searching for channels.
• Press OK to carry out the channel search procedure.
Please refer to the "Channel search" section on page 14.
