SATELLITE TV RECEPTION
To
many people, satellite TV reception is something
completely new and, in some ways, strange. Some pe-
ople find it complicated, whilst other people consider it
the most exiting event
in
television for many years.
Satellite reception is not complicated, although the
equipment required differs from the set you already
have for the reception of ordinary TV programmes. Pro-
bably the most striking feature is the parabolic antenna
or dish, which is quite different from a conventional TV
antenna. Indoors there will
be
an extra unit (two if you
have a powered antenna) alongside the video
and
the
TV
set.
General
High up
in
space above the equator there are many
satellites orbiting the earth in what is known as the geo-
stationary orbit: this means that they appear to hover
directly above the equator over a given point. Some of
these satellites retransmit TV signals for reception on
earth. These signals are weak and are transmitted
at
a
very high frequency; they need a special parabolic
antenna to ensure that the transmitted TV signal can
be converted into
an
acceptable picture. The antenna
needs
to
be
of a certain size
and
must
be
accurate-
ly
aligned
on
(aimed at) the satellite
to
give a
picture ofgood quality.
Each TV satellitetransmits several programmes on sepa-
rate satellite channels.
To
make optimum use of the
available frequency spectrum without the signals inter-
fering with each other, they are transmitted with verti-
calor
horizontal polarization.
To
ensure a good
picture, the LNB (low-noise block converter) of the
satellite dish must
be
turned to suit the polarization
of
the required channel. There are two ways of switching
rapidly from one TV satellite channel to another: the
antenna can be fitted with two LNB's, one for each
polarization, or a single LNB can be
Htted
with a motor-
driven polarization changer known
as
a polarizer.
In
the latter case the polarizer is controlled
by
the satellite
receiver to switch automatically to the correct polariza-
tion when asatellite channel is selected.
To receive TV signals from several
TV
satellites, the an-
tenna will need to
be
re-aligned. This can be done by
hand, although it is a troublesome and time-consuming
operation. The preferred method is to use
an
antenna
motor
that tums the dish to aim it exactly
at
the
desired
satellite.
A complete installation package for satellite
TV
recep-
tion consists ofthe following:
o satellite receiver. This unit picks upthe desired
TV channel from the signal arriving
at
the
LNB
in
the
antenna.
The
unit also generates control signals
to
select the correct satellite and polarization.
o antenna power drive
for
antenna
motor
and polarizer. This is aseparate unit. The anten-
na power drive communicateswith the satellite
re-
ceivervia acable link.
o antenna
with
motor,
LNB and polarizer (or a
double
LNB,
known
as
an ortho mode transduceror
OMT).
About the manual
Parabolic antenna.
The
assembly and alignment
of
the parabolic antenna are described
in
separate in-
stallation instructions supplied with the equipment.
The
manual goes to considerable lengths to point out the
importance
of
careful assembly and alignment to en-
sure the best possible picture and minimize snow.
This
advice
is
particularly important for the installation
of
a
dish antennawith antenna motorand apolar mount.
Installation.
The
installation of a dish antenna
with
motor and polarizer or ortho mode transducer involves
running and connecting several cables between the
antenna and the TV set.
It
is, in fact, a fairly complicated
installation. Study the wiring diagram carefully and
double-check
to
make sure that all the wires
run
to the
correct connections. We
don't
want
to
harp on
the point,
but
if
an item
of
equipment
is
in-
correctly
connected and receives
too
much
power
It
will
be
damaged.
The
section entitled SETTING AND ADJUST-
MENTS describes
in
detail the many steps involved
in
setting up adjusting the satellite receiver. There is
no
need to carry out all these steps when the equipment
is
installed; the main thing is to carry out the basic
operations. The rest of the instructions
in
the chapter
are used when the time comes to reprogram or to load
new programme informationinto the receiver.

SATELLITE RECEIVER
We
hope that the XLE satellite receiver will give
you
a
new outlook on television viewing.
You
will have a far
greater choice of TV programmes when you can scan
through a generous range of progranvnes without
stopping until you see something really interesting. It is
a good idea to have a satellite programme guide handy
to helpyoufind yourway aroundthe satellitechannels.
To make things aseasy as possiblefor you, the installer
and
user, when you receive your XLE satellite receiver,
it is already programmed for several satellite channels.
What you will have to program
is
the alignment of the
antenna on different satellites, whether it is a motor-
driven antenna, and the setting of the polarizer, if there
is one.
" the antenna is aligned manually (to fixed
positions) instead of by a motor, all you have to do is
select the
satelUte
(the one on which the antenna is
aligned) and the programme
as
shown in the satellite
programme guide supplied with the satellite receiver.
"
a polarizer is included, it must
be
set correctly first. A
table in the guide shows how the receiver has been
preprogrammed.
In
al"
some 60 satelflte channels (some of which
are
radio channels) distributed via
six
satellites are
preprogrammed in XLE, butthe receiver has even
more
memory space: the positions of upto nine satellites
can
be programmed in, and there is a choice of 16
programmes for each satellite position
(9
x
16
satellite
channels). An explanatory programming model for
XLE
is shown
on
page 23.
When the satellite receiver is ready for use,
Le.
when it
is set up in accordance with the SETTING AND
ADJUSTMENTS section in the
ONners Manual, the
simplest way to control it is to use the remote control
unit. Many of the functions on the remote control unit
arealso
availableonthereceiver itse"(most of them are
concealed behind the front panel); see the diagrams
below and the detailed description of the receiver on
page 13. The illustration on the next page shows the

HINTS ON INSTALLATION
Use screened cables
When installing the satellite receiver, refer to the
connection examples on pages 19-21. Please read the
following advicebefore starting.
Connecting the motor and polarizer
II,
instead
of
using special cables, you use separate
cables for the antenna motor and polarizer, make the
connectionsasfollows:
On the rear panel of the satellite receiver there
is
a test
terminal (TEST). A
DC
voltmeter can be connected
between TEST and GND (ground/earth) to measure the
AGC voltage when adjusting the antenna. The voltage
must
be between 2.0 and 6.5
V.
The antenna setting is
optimalwhenthe testvoltage is lowest.
Signal strength meter
On the satellite receiver there is an instrument to
indicate the signal strength. The meter can be adjusted
with potentiometers (45) behind the front panel of the
satellite receiver.
II the antenna has two LNBs with an ortho mode
transducer, the LNB with vertical polarization may be
connected to input
1,
for example, and the horizontally
polarized LNB to input
2.
The receiver is not
preprogrammed for this arrangement; see SETTING
AND ADJUSTMENT, page 31.
Test terminal
Setting the channel selector
of
tlie
1V.
If the satellite receiver is connected to the antenna
input of the TV, the channel selector of the TV must be
adjusted for the output channel of the satellite receiver.
To make

Use screened cables to connect the polarizer and
antenna motor if the distance between the antenna and
the satellite receiver
are
more than 50
m.
Make sure that
one end (not both) of the screen braid is connected to
the ground/earthscrew at the antenna powerdrive or
at
the satellite receiver. See basic connection diagram on
next page. You do
n't
need to connect to a ground
point atthe antenna.

If
there is a lot of black

the AFC may be wrongly adjusted. Check whether the
picture can be improved with the Fine tune keys on the
remote control unit.

so, the AFC needs adjusting;
proceedasfollows:
Polarizer I antenna motor
Before fitting the polarizer and antenna motor to the
antenna, check first indoors that they work properly in
conjunction with the satellite receiver and antenna
power drive. See the separate instructions "Installation
preparations"supplied withthe satellite receiver.

Be sure to connect the cable from the LNB to the cor-
rect input. If this connection
is
wrongly made, the pre-
programming of the receiver may turn out to be in-
correct when you come to select satellite programmes.
This means that you must check in the satellite
programme·guide that you have connected the cable
Irom the LNB to the input that is preprogrammed forthe
satellite orsatellites onwhich yourantenna
is
