Before you can operate your Headend Satellite Receiver system, both the receiver

chassis and the satellite antenna LNB connection(s) must be properly grounded.

Information about grounding your receiver and satellite antenna follow.

*URXQGLQJꢀWKHꢀUHFHLYHU

The receiver ground connection is made from the shield¹conductor attached to the

RF coaxial cable “F” connector (rear panel SATELLITE input) to an external

grounding rod via a receiver/antenna grounding block. A separate grounding

wire connects the grounding block (and the satellite antenna LNB grounding

block) to the grounding rod (see Figure 1).

*URXQGLQJꢀWKHꢀ/1%ꢀDQGꢁRUꢀ9+)ꢁ8+)ꢀDQWHQQD

The antenna ground connection is made from the satellite LNB/antenna ground

and/or the VHF/UHF terrestrial antenna discharge unit to an external grounding

rod via a receiver/antenna grounding block.

Ensure that all wires/cables are properly routed, and are clamped/secured, as

required. Install the grounding rod as close to the grounding block as possible

(NEC 820-40 [USA]). If your satellite antenna is installed on a separate support

structure and/or is not located near the RF antenna cable point-of-entry, a dupli-

cate ground using a second grounding rod installed as close to the antenna as pos-

sible is recommended. Typically, a good earth ground can be obtained by driving a

grounding rod made of copper-clad iron into the ground next to the grounding

block.

*HQHUDOꢀJURXQGLQJꢀLQIRUPDWLRQ

The actual ground/cable connections made depend on your site installation re-

quirements, and on the type of satellite antenna and/or VHF/UHF terrestrial an-

tenna you have. If your satellite antenna installation includes a dual-port LNB,

both RF coaxial cables must be routed to the grounding block. When connecting RF

coaxial antenna cables to the grounding block, looping the antenna cables as

shown in the accompanying figure helps to direct moisture away from the

grounding block. Always choose the shortest route possible when connecting RF

coaxial cables to the receiver/antenna grounding block, and when connecting the

grounding wire(s) to the grounding rod.

Because some or all of the receiver setup can be Password-protected, you may or

may not be permitted to make changes to the current settings.

While viewing any channel, you can display on-screen menus for viewing or

changing the current receiver setup. While in menus, you can change the current

receiver settings, and/or display other menus. Some menus contain setup infor-

mation which is available for viewing only, and cannot be changed. Numbered

menu options are used to display other menus. Access to menus and changeable

menu options is controlled by system Lock Levels and a security Password. For

more information about Lock Levels and the Password, see “… About the Pass-

word”.

Both the menu interface and the Alt Mode interface can be used interchangeably

for performing most receiver setup tasks, since both are operated via receiver op-

erating system software. However, not all menu interface functions are duplicated

by the Alt Mode interface. Depending on how you have installed and connected

the Headend Satellite Receiver, you may or may not be able to use the menu inter-

face. If the receiver is connected to a TV/video display monitor, you can view or

change the current receiver setup via on-screen menus. Conversely, if no TV/video

display monitor connection is available, only the front panel Alt Mode interface

can be used for receiver setup, and you will not need to reference instructions pro-

vided for operating the various menus.

The Video Standard used to operate the receiver is preset at the factory to either

NTSC (525-line), or PAL (625-line), depending on factory-installed options (if the

receiver is equipped with a TV modulator, the compatible Video Standard is set as

the factory default). Changing the Video Standard is normally required only for

operating the receiver in a network or jurisdiction that uses the alternate Video

Standard, and/or when new (or different) subscriber services are made available.

Changing the Video Standard or resetting the receiver to the default factory set-

tings may cause the TV video to display improperly. If the current Video Standard

setting is incompatible with subscriber/network services, it must be changed. For

information about factory default settings, see “User Setup menu”.

Operating the Headend Satellite Receiver in a DVB¹network requires a valid Net-

work ID. This number must be correctly set to match the Network ID associated

with the uplink signal. Loss of service will result if the receiver Network ID does

not match the uplink signal Network ID information. If you are unsure about

which Network ID to use, contact your dealer/reseller or local service provider.

Four (4) user-selectable Lock Levels are available for protecting your Headend Sat-

ellite Receiver and the current receiver settings against unauthorized use or modi-

fication (see Table 2). A Lock Level 0 setting lets you make any changes to the cur-

rent receiver setup. Lock Levels 1 and 2 settings limit access to settings that cannot

compromise the video signal. A Lock Level 3 setting prevents any changes to the

current receiver setup by blocking access to menus or to the front panel (i.e., Alt

Mode). A Lock Level 4 setting can only be changed via remote terminal (Serial Re-

mote Control commands) or PCC uplink signal, and displays N/A (Not Applica-

ble) if set. When the receiver configuration is protected via Lock Levels 3 or 4,

menus cannot be displayed. Note that after setting the Lock Level to 3 and saving

changes (menus only), exiting from the User Setup menu automatically returns you

to video.

The Network ID used to operate the receiver is preset at the factory (i.e., to 1).

Changing the Network ID or resetting the receiver to the factory default settings

may cause loss of service. If the Network ID required for your uplink service is

unknown or is incorrect, it must be correctly identified and set. For information

about factory default settings, see “User Setup menu”.

If an incorrect Password is entered at the Password prompt, a message displays to

confirm the invalid Password, and access to the menu or option is denied. If a

change made to the current Lock Level setting is not saved, the previously-saved

setting is restored. The accompanying table summarizes Lock Level settings and

associated receiver options.

A unique Password (4-digit number) protects the current receiver settings against

unauthorized changes. When changing the Password, record and keep this num-

ber in a secure location. The default password provided is…

Menu interface: When an attempt is made to change the current Lock Level setting

(if set to Level 1, 2 or 3), a Password prompt displays. After the correct Password is

entered, the Lock Level setting is automatically reset to Level 0. Similarly, the cor-

rect Password is also required before changing the Lock Level setting from Level 0

to Level 1 or higher. If no password is entered (Lock Level 3 is set), or if no other

button is pressed within one (1) minute of the banner/prompt display, the current

virtual channel displays automatically.

It is recommended that you change the default Password to a different Password

when the receiver is first installed, and periodically afterward, as required. If the

Password is lost or is unknown, contact your dealer/reseller or local service pro-

vider for assistance.

Alt Mode interface: The Alt Mode interface operates like the menu interface when

changing the Lock Level settings, except that the current Lock Level setting can be

changed higher or lower without being first reset to Level 0. The Lock Level setting

is only reset to Level 0 after the correct Password is entered (Lock Level 3 is set). In

addition, the Password prompt displays after the Lock Level setting is changed.

Once activated, the receiver begins searching for a signal associated with the cur-

rent Network ID. When a possible match is found, the search is temporarily inter-

rupted while the receiver attempts to synchronize with the found signal. If syn-

chronization is successful, the signal status is displayed on-screen. Settings can be

saved, as required, before exiting to video (current channel). If receiver synchroni-

zation cannot take place, the signal is discarded and the signal search is automati-

cally resumed. If no signal is found, the signal search continues indefinitely, and

must be manually terminated. A signal search can also be manually terminated, or

interrupted and resumed with different settings. To disable the search, set the

Search to OFF. A search is also terminated automatically if the current channel is

changed, or if the MENU button is pressed.

Signal Searches are constrained or limited by the current Search Type and the

boundary settings for the Lower and Upper Range frequencies. Default Search

Type, Lower Range and Upper Range (frequency) criteria used for conducting the

Signal Search can only be changed via the menu interface. For information about

factory default settings, see “User Setup menu”.

Searching for a signal with the “Search” option is used for restoring normal re-

ceiver operation if the received signal is interrupted or lost, or is changed by the

local broadcast satellite services provider.

A signal search is enabled by setting the Search option to ON, and is activated

automatically only if the carrier signal is interrupted or lost for more than 20 sec-

onds, and only if the receiver is operating in normal mode (i.e., menus are not dis-

played). If the lost carrier signal is recovered within 20 seconds, the receiver will

attempt to synchronize with the last locked channel. If unavailable, the “NO

CHANNEL” banner is displayed. If the lost carrier signal is not recovered within

this time, a signal search is activated automatically.

Setting up your Headend Satellite Receiver via the Alt Mode interface requires

setup of frequency-related and other options. These settings are used by the re-

ceiver for locking onto the signal, and for optimizing receiver performance. Some

menu interface functions are also available via the Alt Mode interface. For a sum-

mary of Alt Mode functions, see Table 4.
