CLEANING
VENTILATION
: Disconnect the STB from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Use a light damp cloth (no solvents) to dust the STB.
: The slots on top of the STB must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the
unit. Do not stand the STB on soft furnishings or carpets.
Do not expose the STB to direct sunlight or do not place it near a heater.
Do not stack electronic equipments on top of the STB.
ATTACHMENTS : Do not use any unrecommended attachments as these may cause hazard or
damage the STB.
CONNECTION TO THE SATELLITE DISH LNB
: Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the
cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE LNB.
CONNECTION TO THE TV
: Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the
cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE TV.
EARTHING
LOCATION
: The LNB cable MUST BE EARTHED.
The earthing system must comply with SABS 061.
: Place the STB indoor in order not to expose to lightening, rain or sunlight.

Reference
1. Connect DiSEqC 1.0
All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennas
to be connected to the STB simultaneously.
If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch.
1. Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input connector of
the DiSEqC switch.
2. Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B input connector
of the DiSEqC switch.
3. Do the same for other LNBs.
4. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF output connector of the DiSEqC switch
and the other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB.
2. Connect DiSEqC 1.2
Please refer to page GB39.
3. Connect a Satellite antenna
To the digital receiver, you can connect either a single satellite antenna directly or
through converter box several antennas or LNB of multi-feed equipment.
You can connect a further Sat-receiver (for example analogue), with the receiver of
common antenna equipment that has satellite signals.
4. Loop Through
If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB then you
can connect it via the loop through. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT
on the STB and connect the other end to the LNB IN on your second STB.

5. Connect a S/PDIF Fiber-Optic cable
If you are watching a programme with a Dolby Digital soundtrack (see page GB32) you can
enjoy the higher quality sound of the Dolby Digital audio by connecting the STB to an
external Dolby Digital television or amplifier. Do this by connecting the optical S/PDIF output
of the STB to the optical S/PDIF input of the external Dolby Digital product (television,
amplifier,.....).
6. Software Upgrade
HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product - incorporating one of the best
software applications.
Whenever a problem is found with this software or, in fact, extra functions or enhanced
applications are added, the software in the equipment has to be upgraded.
In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most
up to date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at
It is recommended that users register to HCSA (HUMAX Customer Service Area) and
periodically check for the availability of software upgrade.
There are three methods to upgrade the software:
(a) set-top box to set-top box download (copies the software of the main unit into slave unit);
(b) pc to set-top box download (downloads the software directly from pc to the model
requiring upgrade);
(c) OTA (over-the-air) downloads the software where the manufacturer reserves the right to
decide when and where to release through satellite system.
OTA is simply another alternative for downloading software versions.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software
upgrade can take place by "beaming" latest software versions over the air via satellite
systems. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to
different satellites having different footprints (area where the signal can be received).
SUSS(TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA.
The software upgrade via satellite system will only occur under the following circumstances:
1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software;
2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite
system;
3) the equipment must be "tuned" properly to the same satellite that the manufacturer uses.

DiSEqC 1.2 User Instructions
If you have a Motorised System for DiSEqC1.2, you can set the Motorised System item to
Enable on Category window and add necessary functions.
When a Motorised System is set to Enable, you cannot
select DiSEqC Input items but, instead, you can use new
menus (Satellite Name, DiSEqC Command Mode,
Movement and Limit Setting) on Category window and the
Goto/Store items are added to Operation window(User
mode).
In case that a Motorised System is Enabled, if you have defined Satellite Name on
Category Window and also created the location information
about the satellite, you can drive the motor which
corresponds to the Satellite Name by moving the cursor
and selecting ‘Goto’. Otherwise, you need to move to the
Item window by using the OK and
buttons in the DiSEqC
Command mode of Category window and select Installer.
Then, you will find that the Reset command is added as
Motor Control Command on Operation window, which is
different from the User mode.
After selecting your Motorised System as Installer, move to and select the Movement item
on Category window, and move the cursor to Item window
by using the OK and buttons and then select East or

When it starts to be driven, move East/West until you find
the location at which signal quality is best. If multiple
locations are found, you should select other frequency and
drive the motor again until only a single location is found.
You can select Stop at the best location by using the signal level and signal quality bar on
the bottom of the window and then move the cursor to Operation window and select Store
the item to save the current location information. Be careful that if you exit the menu
without saving this location information, the current Satellite location information will be
lost. Repeat the above steps for other Satellites to use your Motorised System for them.
Once you have set the location information for a satellite, you can perform fine-tuning for
its location information when you start to search services from the location information
previously saved.

Motorised System
To perform East/West fine-tuning for a satellite, set the Motorised System to Enable
on Category window and select the Satellite Name, and then select User instead of
Installer on the DiSEqC Command Mode item. Now, you can perform East/West
fine-tuning for the selected satellite.
To drive the motor, move to and select the Movement item on Category window, and
move the cursor to Item window by using the OK and buttons like the case of
Installer. Then select ‘(E) +1 move’ or ‘(W) +1 move’ by using the
and OK buttons.
Now, the motor will start to be driven. When it starts to be driven, move the motor until
you find the location at which signal quality is best. When the best location is found,
save the location information using the Store command on Operation window.
Motor Limit Setting
Use this option to set the East and West limits of the
motor. This should be used to prevent your dish from
hitting anything that may be absoluting the path of the
dish. Set the Motorised System item to Enable on
