Preparation

This section explains how to set up your Plaza DS•100A to receive freesat channels.

THE SATELLITE DISH

To receive freesat, you must connect your Plaza DS•100A receiver to an appropriate satellite dish, fixed in position and accurately pointed at the 28.2° East satellite position.

For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly recommend that you have your dish installed by a professional. You may be able to use a satellite dish already installed at your home. If you have any questions about the dish, please consult your installer.

CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER

Place your Plaza DS•100A receiver on a firm, level surface close to the television, a mains electricity socket, and the cable from the dish. (See Appendix A - Safety.)

Connect the cable from your dish to the LNB IN socket at the back of the receiver (if the dish cable is fitted with a wall socket inside your home, you will need a connecting cable, which you can get from your installer).

HINT: The "F-connector" used for the satellite dish cable connection has a central wire that is inserted into the hole in the LNB IN socket while the collar is screwed onto the socket. When screwing on the collar, make sure that the central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to one side.

Turn off your television and connect the SCART cable supplied between the TV SCART socket at the back of your Plaza DS•100A receiver and a SCART socket on your television (usually labelled AV). There may be more than one SCART socket on your television. If you are not sure which to use, check the television's manual.

HINT: If your television has different connectors, you will need an adapter or special cable. Ask your dealer or check the manual for your TV.

Plug the mains power lead from the back of the receiver into an available mains socket that is turned off.

You may have other equipment, such as a DVD recorder or surround sound system, to connect to the receiver.

A video recorder or DVD recorder may be connected to your Plaza DS•100A receiver to record freesat programmes and to play them back. You will need to connect a second SCART cable (not supplied) between the VCR SCART socket on the back of the receiver and a SCART socket on the video or DVD recorder. Check the recorder's manual for guidance.

You can also connect the Plaza DS•100A receiver to a stereo or surround sound system, so that you can listen to its sound through the sound system instead of (or as well as) the television's speakers. You will need an adapter or special cable (available from your dealer) to connect between the receiver's TV SCART or VCR SCART socket and the sound system, to listen to the sound in stereo.

SWITCHING ON

Take off the battery compartment cover from the back of the Plaza DS•100A remote control by lifting it up while pushing the catch. Insert the two AAA batteries supplied, as shown on the inside of the compartment, and replace the compartment cover.

SWITCHING ON (continued)

Turn on your TV set and choose the correct SCART input for the receiver (you usually do this by pressing an 'AV' button on your TV remote – see your television's manual for guidance).

Switch on the mains socket the Plaza DS•100A is connected to.

After a few seconds, the receiver's first freesat installation screen shown below will appear on the television screen:

HINT: If you do not see this screen on your television, see 'Troubleshooting' at the back of this user guide.

TUNING IN

When the first installation screen is displayed, use the ▶ or ◀ buttons to select the screen format of your television (16:9 Widescreen or the squarer 4:3 Traditional). Then press the ▼ button to highlight the SCART output selection box, and use the ▶ or ◀ buttons to select the correct output for your television. Press the Ⓧ button to display the next installation screen.

HINT: You should set the SCART output to RGB if your television is compatible with this output (see your television's manual). If in doubt, set the output to Composite.

The signal check screen shows the strength and quality of the freesat signal received from your satellite dish. If the signal strength or quality is below 50%, you should check the satellite dish connection at the back of the receiver (switch the receiver off and reconnect the cable if necessary). If the connection is OK, consult your dealer or installer.

When the signal strength and signal quality shown are 50% or more, you can continue to tune in the receiver. Press OK to proceed.

Enter your postcode using the number buttons on the remote control. You do not need to enter a space. Once you have entered your postcode, press the button and then press to proceed.

HINT: Enter your postcode with the number buttons by pressing the correct button on the remote a number of times to produce the relevant letter (printed above each button), or number, in the same way as 'texting' with a mobile phone. For example, for an 'S', you would press the ⑦ button four times. If you make a mistake, the 🔊 button deletes the last character entered.

TUNING IN (continued)

Your Plaza DS•100A receiver will take a couple of minutes to find and store the available freesat channels. The number of freesat TV and radio channels found is shown on the screen as the scan proceeds, along with an indication of how far the scan has to go. When the scan is complete, press the button to proceed.

To hide adult channels or lock channels of your choosing, you need to create a PIN. Enter your choice of PIN by pressing the required number button (0, 1 ... 9) for each of the four PIN digits, then press OK to proceed.

The setup completion screen confirms the lock PIN you have set. Press the OK button and your Plaza DS•100A receiver is now ready for you to watch freesat digital TV.

HINT: When new freesat channels are introduced, you do not need to retune your Plaza DS•100A receiver because it is automatically updated.

Everyday Use

This section describes the day-to-day use of your Plaza DS•100A receiver – how to select the channels that you want to watch, view the programme schedules, and control the basic features.

TURNING ON THE RECEIVER

Press the ☐ button on the remote control or the button on the front of the receiver. The power light on the front panel changes from red to blue when the receiver is powered up.

You can turn off the Plaza DS•100A, so it goes into standby, by pressing the button on the remote control or the button on the receiver. When the receiver is in standby, the power light on the front panel turns red. The Plaza DS•100A uses less power when in standby.

HINT: You should leave the Plaza DS•100A receiver plugged in with the socket switched on, at all times (except when there is lightening – see Appendix A). When you are not using the receiver, put it in standby by pressing the ☐ button on the remote control or the button on the front of the receiver.

HINT: The Plaza DS•100A receiver will automatically switch to standby if it is not used for a long time. This feature can be disabled – see the Advanced Use section of this guide.

CHANGING CHANNELS

CHANGING THE CHANNEL LIST

The channel list contains all the freesat channels that the Plaza DS•100A found when it was first installed, and may include some channels that you do not watch, do not want to include in the on-screen list, or do not want some members of your family to watch.

If you want to alter the channel list, first press the button to display the channel list screen. To remove a channel, highlight it and press the red button to delete the channel. You need to confirm your choice to ensure you don't delete a channel accidentally.

Non-Freesat Channels

This section explains how to set up your Plaza DS•100A receiver to receive channels that are not included with freesat. As well as receiving the many freesat channels, the Plaza DS•100A can also be used to watch other channels, as long as they are broadcast from the same satellites as freesat and are free.

TUNING IN NON-FREESAT CHANNELS

Go to the Add Non-Freesat Channels menu by pressing, then twice followed by send to display the system menu, and to highlight the option to add non-freesat channels, then press OK

In the manual scan, enter the frequency and symbol rate of the transponder to scan, using the number buttons, and its polarization by using the ☐ or Buttons. You can move between the three items using the and buttons. When you have entered the tuning information, press ☐ to start the scan.

HINT: The tuning information for non-freesat channels may be printed in specialist magazines, or given on a specific channel's website.

TUNING IN NON-FREESAT CHANNELS (continued)

The Plaza DS•100A will take a few seconds to complete the scan. While it is scanning, the receiver displays the number of TV and radio channels found so far. When it is finished, the receiver will display a list of all the channels found.

You can choose to watch a non-freesat channel from this list by moving the orange bar using the and buttons to highlight the channel you want and pressing OK, or return to watching TV by pressing OK. EXIT

WATCHING NON-FREESAT CHANNELS

Non-freesat channels and freesat channels are stored separately in the receiver but you can switch between them quite easily. When you are watching a non-freesat channel, the information bar displays the Manhattan logo instead of the freesat logo.

While watching TV, you can step through all the channels by pressing the + or - buttons. So pressing while watching a non-freesat channel will tune to the next non-freesat channel and will select the previous non-freesat channel. If you press + while watching the last freesat channel in the list, the receiver will tune to the first non-freesat channel, and pressing while watching channel 101 (the first freesat channel in the list) will select the last non-freesat channel stored.

HINT: Non-freesat TV channels are stored from channel number 3001 and non-freesat radio channels from 4001.

You cannot enter a four-digit channel number to tune to a non-freesat channel, but you can press the 📄NAP button to switch to the channel you last watched, whether it was a freesat or non-freesat channel.

You can browse through the non-freesat channels and programmes in the same way as you browse the freesat channels. Press or to display the information bar and then press the or buttons to see what is showing at the moment on any of the other non-freesat channels, and to see the programmes on next.

HINT: The programme guide does not display non-freesat channels.

When you have some non-freesat channels stored, the channel list displays both freesat and non-freesat channels. Go to the channel list by pressing the LIST button.

Now pressing ◀ or ⚡ will take you through the four channel lists available:

• freesat TV Channels
• freesat Radio Channels
  • non-freesat TV Channels
  • non-freesat Radio Channels

You can use the same channel list functions for any of the lists, so you can lock or delete a non-freesat channel, or add it to your favourite channels list.

If you put your favourite freesat channels and your favourite non-freesat channels in the favourite channels list, you can switch from one to the other freely and easily.

Appendix A - Safety

POWER

The receiver should be plugged into a 230V to 240V AC, 50Hz supply.

CABLES

Make sure all cables are positioned so they are not likely to be walked on, crushed or damaged by things placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the power cable where it goes into the socket and where it comes out of the receiver. Do not connect or adjust cables to the receiver when it is plugged in.

TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE

Do not use or leave the receiver in a hot, cold or humid (moist) environment. Do not allow the receiver to get wet – from drips or splashes – as this is dangerous. Do not place vases or other water-filled objects on top of the receiver.

VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the receiver's cover are for ventilation. Do not cover or block them as this could lead to the receiver overheating.

CLEANING

Unplug the receiver before you clean it with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

HEAT AND FLAMES

Do not place the receiver near to naked flames or sources of intense heat, such as an electric fire. Make sure that no flames, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the receiver.

LIGHTNING

If there is a storm or lightning, unplug the receiver.

SERVICING

Make sure that anyone who services your receiver is qualified to do so. Do not remove the cover yourself – you could get an electric shock.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

If your receiver needs repairing, make sure the person carrying out the repair uses parts which are specified by us or which have the same specifications as the original part. Other parts may cause a fire, electric shock or other dangers.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Your receiver needs a 230V AC \~ 50Hz mains supply and is fitted with a moulded plug. If the plug breaks or becomes damaged, do not use it. If you change the fuse in the plug, make sure you refit the fuse cover. If the plug needs replacing, follow these instructions. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in line with the following code.

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

If you one day find that your receiver or remote control needs replacing, or are of no further use to you, do not throw them out with your household waste. Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations, your local council must provide a suitable recycling centre.

Do not throw batteries in the bin or on a fire. Make sure that you dispose of batteries safely at a local recycling centre. You can also recycle batteries at many supermarkets.
