In case your problem with Mediamaster does not match any of the above mentioned situations and you cannot
solve it accordingly, try the following instructions:
Unplug and then plug in the mains cable.
1) If Mediamaster starts normally and works correctly, this is all you have to do.
2) When reconnected, the green LEDs blink one at a time. Wait! Keep the receiver connected to the mains outlet and the
antenna. Mediamaster is trying to update the system software from a satellite. This may take thirty minutes.
3) If the receiver starts but you cannot enter the Settings/Reinstall through the Navi Bars, activate Reinstall by pressing
all three buttons on the receiver front panel and keeping them down for three seconds. Note that Reinstall will reset ALL
your previous settings and favorite lists. If you have tried all of the above actions without solving the problem, please
contact your dealer or Service Provider.
