Process of pairing::

1. Disconnect the set-top box from the power supply.
2. Connect the set-top box to the power supply, then press and hold the red function button for 10 seconds. (Connect the set-top box and without waiting for the system to start, press and hold the red button.)
3. The remote control should pair with the set-top box. Check the operation of the remote control.

NOTE! If the RCU76 is damaged, contact the supplier. Pairing of a working RCU76 proceeds according to the above description.

8.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION

Remove the battery case cap on the back of the remote control by sliding the lid down, then put it away. Insert two AAA batteries (R03) inside the container with the + and - poles set as indicated. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. Place the lid of the battery box in the right place. Close the lid until it snaps.

9 FIRST INSTALLATION

9.1 CONNECT

NOTE: Make sure that the voltage specification of your home electrical system matches the power supply of the receiver.

NOTE! When connecting the receiver to other equipment, e.g. TV, receiver. Make sure you follow the appropriate instructions for use. Check that you have disconnected all equipment from the main power supply.

9.2 RUN

After the decoder connections to the rest of the equipment are properly made, turn on the set-top box and the remaining hardware. If you first start or perform a factory reset, a screen from the first installation menu will appear. Using the navigation keys of the remote control, select the settings that are appropriate for you.

• Language – the OSD language is set here
• Country – this setting allows you to specify scan parameters appropriate for a given country in which the device is installed
• TV system - choice between PAL, NTSC broadcasting systems
• Resolution - choice of screen resolution
• Video format - image format selection (4:3 Letter box, 4:3 Pan&Scan, 16:9)
• Antenna power supply – allows you to choose between a powered or passive antenna
• Summer time - time setting
• LCN - sorting by terrestrial TV provider numbering
• FTA only - Allows you to filter paid channels. FTA - "free to air"

After selecting the settings, go to the "next" item and confirm with the "OK" key. The signal from the antenna will be scanned.

NOTE! Selecting a resolution or TV system that is not supported by the TV may result in a lack of video signal – the so-called "black screen".

NOTE! Selecting a country other than the one in which the device is installed may result in the lack of reception of the full range of channels due to differences in signal parameters!

9.3 CONNECTING A SATELLITE ANTENNA

In order to properly connect external equipment m.in satellite antenna and converter, please use the installation instructions or the help of a professional installer!

Precise antenna positioning is the basis for good reception. Even the best antenna that is poorly adjusted will cause quality problems. Even minor setting errors can prevent reception or greatly impair its quality. Before installation, make sure that

the place is suitable for this. The correct direction can be pre-determined by comparison with other antennas. Immediately in front of the antenna there must be no obstacles blocking the signal! When we choose the optimal place for the antenna, attach it and pre-position it, it still needs to be carefully adjusted. Each antenna has adjustment screws that allow you to correct the position vertically and horizontally.

9.4 CONNECTION OF ANTENNA INSTALLATION WITH TURNTABLE

The correct operation of the Ferguson receiver is guaranteed by Stab's USALS turntables. To connect the antenna system with the USALS turntable, connect the output from the turntable to the LNB IN input of the Ferguson receiver. The task the turntable installed between the mast and the antenna is to rotate the dish in such a way that it directs to different satellite positions.

The USALS function greatly simplifies antenna alignment. The Ferguson receiver requires you to enter the geographical coordinates of the antenna to automatically calculate the engine rotation angle for individual satellites. The receiver itself starts the turntable and rotates the antenna to the selected satellite. When a signal is caught, the elevation and azimuth position of the antenna must be precisely corrected for maximum signal. When correcting the azimuth, the whole set of antenna with a turntable relative to the mast rotates. If originally the antenna was not exactly set to the south, then now this can be corrected. Once we are done with the first satellite, all the others will be found automatically, as long as we have entered the correct values of their satellite positions in the receiver.

Without the USALS function, programming the system is much more difficult. Use the DiSEqC 1.2 function, which rotates the antenna to the selected satellite in almost the same way. However, since it does not take into account local geographical coordinates, the rotation is based on the zero meridian and the equator. It is therefore necessary to make amendments for each satellite separately. Because of these difficulties, manufacturers of DiSEqC 1.2 turntables often provide helpful software on their websites, thanks to which it is easy to calculate the position of the satellite.

9.5 CONNECTION OF A DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TV ANTENNA

There are no special antennas for DVB-T. The same antennas are used for digital 1 reception as for analog TV reception. So there is no need to change the antenna installation. However, it is worth checking the quality and condition of the installation, which until now has been used to receive analog television. Problems with reception may be in the case of old damaged antenna installations, or mesh antennas. It is recommended to use directional antennas with an antenna amplifier depending on the specific situation, it may also be necessary to put on a symmetrizer. Room antennas can only be used in places with high signal intensity.

The antenna should be directed to the nearest broadcasting facility broadcasting DVB-T digital television. Maps of the range of individual transmitters in Poland are available at: cyfryzacja.gov.pl

down/up arrows. Only those satellites that are selected in the list of satellites are available. Then select the type of converter (most often you should not change this option and leave universal). Next, if you have a switch for more than one satellite, set its port. Depending on the type of switch you have, these will be options for DiSEqC 1.0 or DiSEqC 1.1 (do not run these two options at the same time).

The correct positioning of the antenna is indicated by the bars of strength and signal quality. Both should indicate above 80%, so that the reception of channels does not contain interference. When checking the strength and quality settings, use the "transponder" option to change the frequency and check whether each V and H polarization is working properly.

11.4 SEARCH ONE SATELLITE

In this menu we can search for channels from one selected satellite. To do this, select the satellite by pressing the left/right arrows. Only those satellites that are selected in the list of satellites are available. Then choose whether you want to search only free-to-air channels or all of them, and whether to search for radio, T or all channels.

There are three search modes:

• Automatic – the so-called blind scan, consists in automatically searching for available frequencies from the satellite and then searching them one by one.
• According to the TP list – the receiver searches only frequency by frequency according to the list saved for the selected satellite. This list can be edited in a separate menu.
• FastScan – the receiver searches the channels of the selected provider. You can add channels to an existing list or replace an existing list with

new channels. Please note that the search result and the operation of this function depends solely on the provider.

11.5 SEARCH SEVERAL SATELLITES

In this menu we can search for channels from several satellites. Satellites will be searched automatically one by one in the order in which they are marked in the list of satellites. The options for settings and searchability are the same as for the menu: search one satellite. At the bottom of the pane, the names of the satellites that will be searched are displayed.

11.6 LIST OF TRANSPONDERS

The channels on the satellite are located several in "packages". Such a "package" of channels is a transponder. The list of transponders is a list of frequencies available on a given satellite. In this menu, you can edit, add, and delete individual frequencies. Select the satellite by pressing the left/right arrows, and then using the up/down buttons the desired frequency.

To search for a new channel, we need to know the basic parameter of the channel, i.e. the frequency from which it is broadcast. This parameter can be found at the sender, on the Internet, in the press, etc.

Then go to the list of transponders, select the satellite and the desired frequency (if it is not in the list, use the function: add – green remote control button). Further on the selected frequency, press OK or the blue remote control button to bring up the search window for that frequency. Use the up/down buttons to change the search options and confirm by selecting OK. The search will begin. Newly found channels from this frequency will be added to the end of the channel list.
