2.1 Installation of a Satellite Antenna

Please note: If you have already installed and aligned your satellite antenna, you can skip this chapter.

Selection of the Mounting Location of the Satellite Antenna

The mounting location for your satellite antenna must be selected in such a way that there are no obstructions between the satellite antenna and the satellite being received. For this reason, pay attention to protruding roof edges, downpipes, and other obstacles such as trees during installation. To be able to receive the ASTRA 19.2E (E = east) satellites, the antenna must be oriented to the south.

Please note: The software update sent via satellite is fed via ASTRA 19.2E.

Simple line drawing of a house, tree, and satellite with a light beam projecting onto the roof (no text or symbols)

Attach the antenna according to the installation instructions delivered with your satellite antenna. For the mounting, use a wall or mast mount that provides a fixed, secure hold for the antenna. Do not perform the final attachment of your satellite antenna until the positioning and thus any corrections or fine adjustments are completed.

Aligning the Satellite Antenna

In order for the desired satellite to be targeted, the azimuth and elevation angles must be properly adjusted. The azimuth angle describes the rotation of the satellite dish to the right or left, while the elevation angle describes its inclination. Since the alignment depends on your geographical location, various values can be set.

First determine the elevation and azimuth angle, which depend on your place of residence. If no information regarding the angles has been provided in the documents of your satellite antenna, you will find extensive material on the Internet.

90° 30° Elevation Azimuth South 180° East 90° West 270°

If you install an offset satellite antenna, you must first calculate the angle to be used for the alignment, that is, the angle adjusted to your satellite antenna. This is determined by deducting the offset angle from the elevation angle. Information regarding the offset angle can be found in the documents of your satellite antenna.

You can align the satellite antenna using a measuring device or using your television and SatCorder.

a) Connect the receiver to the LNB using a suitable coaxial cable.
b) Connect the SatCorder to your television. On your SatCorder, set a program that can be received via the satellites being set (e.g. the program ARD in Germany for ASTRA 19.2E).
c) Adjust your satellite antenna according to the inclination being set. Many antennas already have angle data on their mounts; otherwise, use an angle gauge to align.
d) To align the azimuth angle, turn your antenna slowly to the right or left until your SatCorder receives a television picture. For the fine adjustment of the antenna setting, use the bar display for signal strength and signal quality.
e) When you have found the maximum signal strength and quality, fix all the screws of your satellite antenna.

Now, as described in the "CHANNEL SEARCH" section, you can look for and save television and radio channels according to your preferences.

2.2 Connecting the Satellite Antenna

Please note: Do not connect your SatCorder to the power supply yet!

In case of a single subscriber installation, please connect your SatCorder and the universal LNB of the satellite antenna with a coaxial cable on whose end an F-plug has been mounted. This is screwed into the LNB in port of your SatCorder.

In case of a multi-subscriber installation, please use the coaxial cable to connect your SatCorder with a multiswitch.

In the following, you will find information regarding important technologies for satellite systems. If your LNB supports these technologies, you can use your SatCorder optimally.

DiSEqC (DIGITAL SATELLITE EQUIPMENT CONTROL): For digital-ready satellite systems, DiSEqC is the standard system for controlling several satellite positions via several LNBs or complex motorized satellite systems. Various versions of the standard exist with various scopes of function. The satellite positions are set via the various switching states. Depending on the DiSEqC version, four or more states are possible.

Unicable technology: Using Unicable, several satellite receivers can be supplied with an unlimited variety of programs via a common cable to the satellite antenna. This is possible since the coaxial cable does not carry the entire intermediate frequency band, but rather only the transponder required for the selected program. Every satellite receiver makes its individual program selection for the LNB using special control signals (DiSEqC). This means lower cabling costs for apartments to be equipped with satellite television since the antenna socket can be connected in series.

2.3 Connection to the Television

For the connection of your SatCorder to a television, you have several possibilities.

Satellite dish with LNB HiFi system Digital Audio Mains socket TREKSTOR® SetCorder recture FullHD LNB Loop Through DVD™ VCR TV HDMI out 12Hz/second Audio R out Audio L out Video out Creat Digital Audio out Optical Power VCR/DVD Component Video Connection USB 2.0 mass storage device TV

Digital audio/video output (HDMI)•

For connection to a HD television, use an HDMI cable that transmits both video and audio signals. Encoded content is transmitted to your HD television in digital quality only when an HDMI cable is used. For this purpose, connect the HDMI output of your SatCorder and the HDMI input of your HD television using an HDMI cable.

Component output (YPbPr)•

A further possibility for the transmission of HD signals to your television is the use of the component output. For this purpose, connect the three component output ports to the corresponding inputs of your television. Please observe that a further connection is needed between your SatCorder and your television or stereo system for the transmission of audio signals.

SCART output•

Connect your SatCorder and television using a SCART cable. Both video and audio signals are output via the SCART output.

Composite output•

Connect your SatCorder and television using a composite video cable. Please observe that a further connection is needed between your SatCorder and your television or stereo system for the transmission of audio signals.

2.4 Connection to a Stereo System

You can connect your SatCorder to your stereo system or television using an analog cinch cable or a digital S/PDIF cable (optical or coaxial).

2.5 Connecting an External USB 2.0 Mass Storage Device

To be able to use the digital video recorder function (USB-PVR) of your SatCorder, please connect an external USB 2.0 hard disk (e.g. a TrekStor MovieStation or TrekStor DataStation) or a USB stick to the USB port on the rear side of your SatCorder.

2.6 Connecting a Video Recorder

If you want to connect your SatCorder to a video recorder, please connect it to the second SCART port or to the composite output.

To continue the playback at the position at which you stopped, press the ▶II key again.

Instant Replay

If you press the 📊REPLAY key of the remote control, the last 30 seconds of the playback of a time shift recording in progress is repeated. If you activate the "INSTANT REPLAY" function in the "PVR SETTINGS" menu, the 📊REPLAY key also works during the normal playback of the television program as soon as the selected channel has been running for at least 30 seconds.
