All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennas to be connected to the
STB simultaneously.
If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch.
1. Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input connector of the DiSEqC switch.
2. Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B input connector of the DiSEqC switch.
3. Do the same for other LNBs.
4. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF output connector of the DiSEqC switch and the other end to
the LNB IN socket on the STB.
Please refer to page 31.
To the digital receiver, you can connect either a single satellite antenna directly or through converter box several
antennas or LNB of multi-feed equipment. You can connect a further Sat-receiver (for example analog),
with the receiver of common antenna equipment that has satellite signals.
Connect an antenna cable through converter boxes
1. When you assemble several antenna or a multi-feed equipment that has several LNB (or LNB with several exits),
connect each cable from the antenna to a converter box.
2. Connect the output of converter box to “LNB IN”, as in example displayed.
3. When you use a converter box of 0/12V-steerage, connect it to the output “0/12V” additionally.
For converter boxes of 22KHz- or DiSEqC-steerage, you can skip this point because the steerage signal occurs
through the antenna cable.
If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB then you can connect it via the loop
through. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT on the STB and connect the other end to the LNB IN
on your second STB.
If you are watching a programme with a Dolby Digital soundtrack (see page 10) you can enjoy the higher quality
sound of the Dolby Digital audio by connecting the STB to an external Dolby Digital television or
amplifier. Do this by connecting the optical S/PDIF output of the STB to the optical S/PDIF input of the
external Dolby Digital product (television, amplifier,.....).
