ENGLISH

For your safety

Your set-top box has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but you

must take care if you want to obtain the best results and operate it safely.

It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions

below. If you have any doubts about the installation, operation or safety of your set-top box,

please consult your dealer.

The model number, serial number and electrical rating of this set-top box are on a label

on its base.

WARNING!

Remember that contact with 230 V AC mains can be lethal or can cause a

severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:

Never remove the top cover from your set-top box. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside it, but there are some high-voltage live parts.

Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made.

Do not connect any of your equipment (set-top box, TV, video recorder

etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected all the other

leads.

Disconnect your set-top box from the mains supply (by disconnecting its

mains lead from the mains wall socket) before you disconnect any other

equipment from its rear panel.

Never push anything into the holes, slots or other openings of the set-top

box case (except a smart card into its correct slot).

CAUTION!

4 In order to ensure a free ﬂow of air around the set-top box, allow at least 5 cm of

space above and around the set-top box.

8 Never stand your set-top box on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not cover any

ventilation slots.

8 Do not place your set-top box in an unventilated cabinet or on top of a unit which

emits heat (e.g. a TV or VCR).

8 Do not place your set-top box in a cabinet with more than one other piece of audio/

video equipment, for example, VCR or DVD.

8 Do not use or store your set-top box in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.

8 Do not put anything on your set-top box which might drip or spill into it. Never stand

objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your set-top box.

8 Never place naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your set-top box.

8 If you move your set-top box between locations at different temperatures, allow it to

reach room temperature before you apply power to it.

8 To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk, do not pick up or otherwise move

your set-top box while it is connected to the mains supply. If you want to move your

set-top box, ﬁrst disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing. You

should handle your set-top box carefully, as any damage you cause to the internal hard

disk (or any other component) will invalidate your warranty.

4 Using your Viasat box

Welcome to digital satellite TV!

Thank you for choosing the Pace PVR box for viewing your Viasat channel packages. Please

follow the instructions in this User Guide carefully to enjoy all the advantages of digital

satellite TV. We advise following the user instructions and recommendations supplied with

your box, especially for ﬁrst-time use.

Your box fully complies with international DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standards.

Updates to your box

From time to time, your box may be updated. These updates provide enhanced features;

new screens and menus may become available. Although any new screens and menus may

look a little different from those described in this User Guide, you should be able to use

the same techniques (e.g. highlight and select) with them.

Updates will usually happen in the middle of the night. Your box needs to be in standby to

receive updates.

Inserting the batteries in your remote control

Before you can use your remote control, you must insert the two supplied AA batteries as

follows:

1. Push the catch at the bottom of the remote control battery cover up, then lift off the

cover.

2. Insert the batteries as shown below. Be sure to match the + and – marks on the

batteries to their respective marks inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover, by inserting the tab at the top of the cover ﬁrst, then

pushing the cover into place.

8 Don’t leave ﬂat batteries in your remote control.

4 Replace both batteries at the same time.

8 Do not dispose of used batteries with your domestic rubbish.

4 Used batteries should be recycled at the end of their useful life.

Installation

Inserting your smart card

1. Take your smart card from its packaging (if you have not already done so) and hold it

so that the picture is facing upwards, and the ‘smart’ patch is facing downwards and at

the end away from you.

2. Insert the smart card into the smart card slot of the front panel of your box. Insert it

PVR Digital Satellite Receiver

Taking care of your smart card

Do not remove and re-insert your smart card unnecessarily.

Do not bend your smart card; keep it away from children and pets.

Do not put your smart card in liquids or use cleaning ﬂuids on it.

Activating your subscription

When you have completed the installation (see page 15), a Subscription Activation screen

will be displayed. Please follow the instructions that are given on the screen to get access

to your Viasat channel package.

Satellite dish

You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct satellite(s).

If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct satellite(s), you will need

to make adjustments. Please see the information supplied with your dish/LNB for

details on how to do this, or seek professional advice.

If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer to recommend a

local dish-installation engineer.

Quad LNB set-up

Since the PVR has two tuner inputs you need to duplicate the incoming signal.This is done

by replacing your existing Sirius Universal Single LNB with a Universal Quad LNB and

install an extra cable to the PVR, or, if you are a new customer, installing two cables to the

PVR. One Universal Quad LNB and 2 x 25 m coaxial cables are included in this package by

Viasat.

Your choice of setup depends on the number of LNB:s in your antenna:

One LNB - Your antenna is equipped with only one LNB.The antenna must be aligned

towards Sirius 5°East

◆

10 Using your Viasat box

*DiSEqC™ is a trademark of Eutelsat.

Installation

Two LNBs - If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with two LNBs/satellite dishes, to

ensure a simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should

connect up the LNBs to the DiSEqC™ ports as shown in the LNB positions table

below. You must then connect your DiSEqC™ unit to the satellite input on your box

(see also pages 11 to 13).

The Quad LNB setup requires that two DiSEqC™ switches are installed, one for each

tuner input.

If you have more than one LNB in your antenna, it is recommended, for full PVR

functionality, that you exchange the LNBs for the other satellites also. Universal Quad

LNBs are available at your local installer.

With a Universal Quad LNB there will be two spare signal outputs, where it is possible to

connect an extra box, for example in your bedroom.

box must therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily

accessible.

If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a competent electrician.

Switching on for the ﬁrst time

When you connect your box to the mains, your box’s front panel lights go through a start-

up sequence. After about 20 seconds, your box is switched on and out of standby, and the

standby light is green.

Make sure your TV is switched on.

Your box automatically starts searching for listings. This can take several minutes.

After completing this process, your box automatically switches to a channel.

If you do not receive a signal

If no signal is received, the following message displays.

Check all connections. Check the LNB and Transponder settings (see pages 51 to 55)

ENGLISH

If you do not see any picture

If you have connected your box to your TV (and VCR) via RF leads only, you need to tune

a ‘channel for satellite TV’ (see below).

RF Tuning

If you have connected up your equipment via RF leads, you may need to perform RF tuning

before you can watch digital satellite TV.

Note

If you have previously had an analogue satellite receiver connected to your TV (and/or VCR), you may

ﬁnd that your ‘channel for satellite TV’ still works for your new digital channels. Try it to see - if it

works you do not need to perform RF tuning.

RF tuning your TV (and VCR) to your box

1. Make sure your box is out of standby (the standby light on the front panel should be

green).

2. Consulting your TV’s user guide if necessary, tune the TV until you can see a channel,

or the ‘Searching for Listings’ message on your TV screen.

3. Store your new ‘channel for digital satellite TV’ on a TV channel number of your

choice. For example, if your terrestrial channels are channels 1 to 5, and your ‘VCR

channel’ is channel 8, you may wish to use TV channel 9 as your ‘channel for digital

satellite TV’.

4. If you have a VCR, set your TV to its ‘VCR channel’, then tune your VCR until you can

again see a channel, or the ‘Searching for Listings’ message on your TV screen.

If you cannot RF tune your TV (or VCR) to your box...

Your box’s factory preset RF output channel is channel 38. (This is not the same as a TV

channel.)

If channel 38 is not compatible with your TV, for example if it is already being used as your

VCR’s output channel, or for a terrestrial channel, you may ﬁnd you cannot tune your TV

to your box because of interference.

Changing the RF output channel is covered in the setup section (see page 28).

RF channels may also be known as UHF channels.

Switching on and off

Whenever you are not using your box you should put it into standby. You should not

unplug it at the mains socket.

To put your box into standby, press S.

To take your box out of standby, press S.

Getting Started

Using the Viasat Guide

Your box has an on-screen digital guide to your digital satellite services. It is designed to

help you get the most out of your box. You use it to:

watch programmes and at the same time ﬁnd out what is showing on other channels,

both now and later on;

see on-screen TV programme listings seven days ahead via the EPG;

order movies, sports and events using Ticket;

set reminders for programmes you want to watch using the Planner;

set your box to record programmes on now or showing in the future;

watch programmes you have recorded;

access a range of interactive services, such as games you can play using your

remote control;

change settings on your box, including the Parental Control settings, to make sure

your box works how you want it to.

Changing channel

You can change channel by using:

the number buttons;

the ch + and – buttons; or

one of the on-screen methods described in the following sections.

Unlocking a locked channel

If you have used Parental Control to set an Age lock level (see page 24), then programmes

broadcast with a rating above the level you have set, will be locked.

If you want to watch a locked programme, you will need to enter your PIN code (see page

24).

If the following message appears when you change channel:

Please enter PIN code to unlock channel

1. Use the

number buttons to enter the correct PIN code.

2. If you make a mistake, press

BACK to delete a number.

If the PIN code is correct, the programme you want to watch displays.

If the PIN code is not correct, you will see a message to tell you. You can either try again,
