Operation Manual

Operation with additional satellite receiver

If you wish to use the same antenna for a second satellite receiver in

addition to your digital CI receiver, loop the signal from the SAT OUT

socket of the digital CI receiver (not present at all models, technical

changes reserved) to the antenna input of the second receiver.

To ensure that such a setup works properly, the antenna must only be

controlled by one of the receivers at any time. To ensure this, the

receiver currently not in use must be switched off. For the digital CI

receiver, it is recommended to switch it into AV mode (AV key). This

will keep the internal amplifier switched on and provide a stronger signal

to the second receiver.

To ensure that the automatic satellite search function of the

Oyster/CARO/Cosmo digital CI unit works reliably, the search process

must not be affected by signal interference. During the automatic search

or the search via location, the second receiver must therefore always be

switched off.

Note: Simultaneous reception with both receivers is not possible!

The Oyster system can be equipped with a twin LNB. With this option, a

special LNB with two outputs is installed at the Oyster's antenna unit

and two antenna cables are routed. The second antenna cable can then

be used to feed a second receiver or e.g. a notebook computer with a

DVB-S receiver module.
