ABOUT THE SMARTCARD AND CA MODULE
General
To be able to receive terrestrial scrambled digital channels you will
need a CA module and a Smartcard from a Service Provider.
There are a few different CA modules on the European market.
Each one of the CA modules support a certain kind of encryption
system. Examples of such a system are Viaccess, Conax, Irdeto,
Nagravision and Mediaguard. Depending on in which country you
use the Mediamaster, your local salesman will provide you with
the right type of CA module.
CA module
Please note that a Smartcard may only be valid for a single Serv-
ice Provider and due to this, a specific range of channels.
Smartcard
The Smartcard and the CA module may cause special menus not
described in this manual. Follow the instructions from the Serv-
ice Provider.
Note: The CA modules and Smartcards are only distributed by
Service Providers and special distributors, not by Nokia.
After ins<ard, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not remove it
again, unless you will be asked to do so. This is important, be-
cause if, for example, your Service Provider wants to download
new information to the Smartcard, the card has to be in the slot.
Inserting the CA module and the smartcard
Insert the CA module and the smartcard according to the instruc-
tions provided with the module.

INSTALLATION OF THE MEDIAMASTER
About the digital transmission
Digital Radio and TV signals can be blocked by buildings, moun-
tains and the terrain. Depending on if the receiver is located in a
depression in the ground, behind a mountain or in a concrete
building, the quality of reception may vary considerably.
A digital signal can be “boosted” if reflections of it (from e. g. a
building) are added to the original signal.
Reflections can be used for reception by directing the aerial to-
wards a mountain or a high building, providing that they do not
block the transmitter.
As with most other transmissions, bad weather does affect the
reception quality negatively.
Connecting to the TV aerial
You can connect the Mediamaster to the following type of aerials:
1. Standard outdoor aerial
Where possible, use an outdoor roof aerial intended for receiv-
ing UHF channels between 21 and 69.
Please note the following:
• In some block of flats, the roof-mounted aerial system includes
a filter and channel selector. If so, the aerial will probably not
work with the Mediamaster. Please consult the landlord.
• Many older roof-mounted aerials may only receive a limited
number of channels. As a result, digital channels transmitted
on higher frequencies are difficult or even impossible to re-
ceive. The problem can be solved by replacing the roof aerial.
• Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an analogue trans-
mitter. The aerial must be directed towards a digital TV trans-
mitter.
• It is not always advisable to position the aerial as high as pos-
sible. If problems arise, experiment with different aerial
heights.
2. Indoor and window-mounted aerials
This type of aerial may be enough if the reception conditions are
very good. If an indoor aerial is used, please note the following:
• Use an aerial for UHF channels 21 - 69, such as a directional
aerial.
• Place the aerial by the window and directed towards the TV
transmitter, if possible.
• An aerial with an amplifier is recommended as it may provide
a stronger signal.
• The strength of the TV signal varies according to reflections
from e. g. buildings. The signal penetrates thick stone or con-
crete walls poorly. However, a wooden building is not a big bar-
rier to digital TV signals.

used.
To tune your TV to the RF signal you might also need your TV
manual in addition to this manual. The steps below explain what
to do if you have been unable to use SCART leads in your con-
nection.
• Plug in your Mediamaster.
Tuning your TV to the Mediamaster
• Select a channel number on the TV that is not currently used
for other TV channels.
• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to tune the TV chan-
nel selector to UHF channel 43 (this is the Mediamaster’s fac-
tory preset UHF channel). If you are already using this chan-
nel, select another non occupied UHF channel between 21to
69 on the TV.
• If you need to change UHF channel you do as follows:
First you change on the Mediamaster. Use the or buttons
on the front panel of the Mediamaster, or on the remote. You
will see the UHF channel number displayed on the front panel
of the Mediamaster. Then, tune the TV channel selector to the
same UHF channel.
• When you have correctly changed the UHF channel number
you will see the ”Welcome” menu on the TV screen.
If there is interference from other channels you will have to
change the chosen UHF channel.
• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to store this UHF chan-
nel as the channel used by your Mediamaster. You will have to
select it when you want to watch terrestrial digital TV channels.
• Once the welcome message is visible, press the OK button
on the Mediamasters remote control to start the installation
procedure.
If for some reason you have to change the RF channel later,
you can do this by using TV settings menu further on in this

From these menus you can create and edit channel lists. You can,
among other things, create favourite lists; add, delete, rename
and arrange the order of the channels within the lists.
In the All TV list the channels are normally presented network
by network. First the name of the network. Then the name of the
regional network transmitter from which you are receiving the
channels.
The All TV list can contain a lot of channels. By creating your own
favourite lists you can make channel handling a bit more conven-
ient.

MAIN MENU
System Information
If you have to contact your service provider or a service center,
they might ask for information available from this menu. There-
fore, it is important that you first check the information in the
following menus.
System Information
This gives general information about which hardware and soft-
ware version your Mediamaster is running on.
Diagnostics
To find out the condition of certain parts of the Mediamaster, you
can run a diagnostic test.
The signal input (strength) is messured in Signal-to-Noice ratio
(S/N). During normal conditions a S/N level of 18 - 20 dB will be
enough to give good picture and sound reception. However, to
achive good reception also during bad weather, atmospheric dis-
turbances or other interferences in the transmission, the signal
strength should be higher, something like 25 dB or more.
Conditional Access
A menu will only be activated if you have inserted a valid
CA module with a Smartcard in the slot behind the front lid.
The picture to the right is only an example of how a CA menu
might look like. The menus might differ with different modules.
If more than one CA system is activated, select the one from
which you want information.
