ABOUT THE SMARTCARD AND CA MODULE
To be able to receive scrambled digital satellite channels you will
need a Smartcard and/or a Common Interface CA (Conditional
Access) module* from a Service Provider of your choice.
There are a few different CA modules on the European market.
Each one of the CA modules support a certain kind of encryption
system. The Mediamaster supports CA modules which are made
to work according to the DVB standard. Depending on which
country you use the Mediamaster in, your local dealer will pro-
vide you with the right type of CA module.
Please note that a smart card may only be valid for a single Serv-
ice Provider and due to this, a specific range of channels.
The smart card and the CA module may cause special menus, not
described in this manual, to appear. Follow the instructions from
the Service Provider.
Note: CA modules and smart cards are only distributed by Serv-
ice Providers and special distributors, not by Nokia.
After inserting a card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not re-
move it again, unless you will be asked to do so. This is impor-
tant because, for example, if your Service Provider wants to
download new information to the smart card, the card has to be
in the slot.
* Only use a DVB Standard Common Interface CA Module
Viaccess smartcard
Only for services coded with the Viaccess CA system.
• Insert your smartcard fully into the left slot behind the lid of
the front panel of the Mediamaster. The gold chip should face
downwards and inwards.
CA module with its smartcard
• Follow the instructions from your Service Provider how to in-
sert the CA module and the belonging smartcard
• Insert the CA module fully into the slot behind the lid of the
front panel of the Mediamaster.
• Press the grey button on the front panel if you need to remove
the CA module.
PIN Code
The Smartcard is loaded with a 4-digit code, also called a PIN code
(Personal Identification Number).
The code is essential in order to access future services offered
by the Service Provider.

Tuning procedure when RF connections are used
This procedure is necessary if your Mediamaster is con-
nected to the TV with an RF cable, and not via SCART.
To tune your TV to the RF signal you might also need your TV
manual in addition to this manual. The steps below explain what
to do if you have been unable to use SCART cables in your con-
nection.
• Plug in your Mediamaster.
Tuning your TV to the Mediamaster
• Select a channel number on the TV that is not currently used
for other TV channels.
• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to tune the TV chan-
nel selector to UHF channel 43 (this is the Mediamaster’s fac-
tory preset UHF channel). If you are already using this chan-
nel, select another non occupied UHF channel between 21to
69 on the TV.
• For example, if you select UHF channel 45 on your TV, you
must change your Mediamaster to the same channel.
Use the ꢂor ꢃbuttons on the front panel of the Mediamaster,
or on the remote, to change to the corresponding channel. You
will see the UHF channel number displayed on the front panel
of the Mediamaster.
• When you have correctly changed the UHF channel number
you will see the ”Welcome” menu on the TV screen.
If there is interference from other channels you will have to
change the chosen UHF channel.
• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to store this UHF chan-
nel as the channel used by your Mediamaster. You will have to
select it when you want to watch digital TV/Radio channels.
• Once the welcome message is visible, press the OK button
on the Mediamasters remote control to start the “First time
installation” procedure, see next page.
If for some reason you have to change the RF channel later,
you can do this by using TV settings menu further on in this
manual.
If you have a VCR connected it must be tuned to a different
UHF channel (between 21 to 69) than the Mediamaster.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
RF modulator type
If the Mediamaster is connected to the TV with a RF cable, you
must select the right RF modulator alternative, which is depend-
ent on the country where the Mediamaster is being used.
Select “Normal (PAL B/G)” for all countries except the UK.
Select “UK (PAL I)” when the box is used in the UK.
If you get picture but no sound, the RF modulator selection might
be wrong.
Antenna/satellite selection
Select one of the alternatives from line 1 to 4 if you have a sin-
gle antenna equipped with one LNB for receiving signals from
either ASTRA, HOTBIRD, THOR or SIRIUS.
Select one of the alternatives from line 5 or 6 if you have one
antenna with two LNBs or two antennas with one LNB on each
for receiving signals from the combination ASTRA/HOTBIRD or
THOR/SIRIUS. In these cases you also need a 2-way DiSEqC
switch.
Select alternative 7 for any other antenna/satellite combination,
e.g. antenna motor.
Alternatives 1-6 requires the use of a Universal LNB(s.)

ellites.
Pressing OK from the selected alternative will display the “An-
tenna adjustment” menu (shown to the right) on the screen.
For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to
4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu.
When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the
selected channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select
a channel with the ꢀꢁbuttons.)
OK
Antenna adjustment and signal check
• Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have
a high value on the Signal strength (AGC) *) indicator (the red
bar at the top of the menu) and on the Signal quality (SNR) *)
indicator (the red, yellow and green bar at the top of the menu).
If you do not get a picture, you may have tuned in an analogue
signal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is
positioned towards wrong satellite.
The reason could also be that the marked channel is not trans-
mitting at the moment. If so, try one of the other preprogrammed
channels with the ꢀꢁbuttons.
OK
When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Media-
master automatically starts searching for and downloads chan-
nels from the satellite. Please refer to page 23.
(If you have a good indication in the signal quality menu, but no
picture from any of the channel alternatives, try proceeding with
the channel search anyway by pressing OK.)

About Signal strength (AGC)
and Signal quality (SNR)
The different signal indicators at the top of the menu provide in-
formation about two things:
AGC:
The AGC, shown with a red bar, will indicate the aver-
age strength of any incoming signal, digital as well as
analogue.
SNR:
The SNR, shown with a red, yellow and green bar, will
indicate the signal quality for the selected prepro-
grammed channel.

selection menu
Select one of these alternatives when you have a single antenna
equipped with 2 LNBs, or two antennas with one LNB on each,
and want to watch channels from ASTRA/HOTBIRD or THOR/
SIRIUS.
In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external switch
since there is only one antenna input on the Mediamaster. Once
installed the switch automatically selects the correct LNB for the
selected channel.
This external switch is better known as a DiSEqC ™ switch. Since
the switch can be located close to the LNBs, you only need one
cable down to the Mediamaster.
Connection of a DiSEqC switch:
• Connect the cable from the LNB intended for channels from
ASTRA (or THOR) to the connector marked LNB 1 or A on the
switch.
• Connect the cable from HOTBIRD (or SIRIUS) to the connec-
tor marked LNB 2 or B.
• Then, connect the antenna cable to the connector marked OUT
on the switch.
• Connect the other end of this cable to the ANTENNA input in
the rear of the Mediamaster.
On the most common type of DiSEqC switches the connec-
tions are usually marked 1 and 2.
On the mini DiSEqC switches the connections are usually
marked A and B.
As a principle they perform the same work, but demands differ-
ent electric commands from the receiver in order to start work-
ing.
DiSEqC switch with 2 inputs
• First check, as described in paragraph Antenna adjustment
and signal check on page 14, that you get picture and sound
from ASTRA (THOR).
• When you have picture and sound continue to the next row
and check HOTBIRD (SIRIUS) for picture and sound.
• When the HOTBIRD(SIRIUS) check is ready, press OK to start
the channel search procedure. The box now starts searching
and downloading channels from both satellites. See “Channel
search” on page 18.

LNB offset voltage
If the cable down from any of the LNB’s is very long, it might be
necessary to increase the voltage to these LNB’s by 0,5 V.
In most cases nothing has to be altered here. Leave the default
value “0 V” as it is. If the switch does not change between hori-
zontal and vertical polarization, the voltage to a LNB can be in-
creased later.
Increase the voltage:
a. only if a LNB does not change polarization
b. only to the specific LNB mentioned in a. above

East (Hotbird satellites on 13° East) as this is the refer-
ence setting. All other preprogrammed satellite positions
are oriented relative to Astra 1/Hotbird.
You also have to mount the antenna at a proper place
outdoors.
How to do all this, please read the separate fitting in-
structions for the SatScan or DiSEqC positioner.

Information about the modem
This equipment has been approved pursuant to Council Decision
98/482/EC [CTR 21] for pan-European single terminal connection
to the Public Switched telephone Network (PSTN). However, due
to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in differ-
ent countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an uncondi-
tional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termina-
tion point.
In the event of problems, you sholud contact your equipment
supplier in the first instance.

nel number) during recording/while you are watching a pro-
gramme started by the Timer function.
Furthermore, a programme that has been started by the Timer
function will lock the box. You can not change channels or call up
a menu the normal way until the stop time is reached.
However, you can unlock the box by pressing the MENU button
(about 5-10 seconds) until a channel number appears in the dis-
play. Please note,that this is the only recommended way * to un-
lock the box as long as “t x” is visible in the display.
* Apart from pulling the plug from the mains, which is not to
recommend!
