SL65/12 “SkyPacker” Digital Satellite Receiver With this Receiver you can receive uncoded (Free To Air) digital satellite programs via a satellite dish. You do not need to program the Receiver to begin with. The most important transponders and satellites are preprogrammed. The satellite dish must be aligned on the desired satellite. The Receiver searches for other new programs as soon as you begin the automatic transpondersearching run for this satellite. Nonreprogrammed satellites can be added.
Other equipment features Software update via satellite Astrai 190 east, or via the RS232 connection on the rear panel. Short Turnon, quick boot process. Previous channel Memory. Fully compatibly with MPEG2 and DVB. MPEG video (MP©ML), MPEGi Audio Layerl, Layer 2. LNB control (tone 0/22 kHz), max. current delivery for LNB 300 mA. Symbol Rate 135 Mb/s and frequency input 9502150 MHz. Manual input PID possible. 3 buttons on the front panel. Plug and Play.
Connecting The Receiver The Receiver must connected via a coaxial cable to the LNB on your satellite dish. Connect the Receiver to the Mains Power socket only after you have connected it properly to all devices and to the LNB, otherwise the Receiver can be damaged. The coaxial cable carries power to the LNB so ensure that the inner and outer conductors can not touch each other. Camping or caravan use The Receiver can be also supplied with 12 volts (i.e. 1115 volts, e.g., from a Solarpanel).
Screw the F plug of the coaxial cable onto the connection, "LNB IN" on the Receiver. You screw the other end of the coaxial cable to the LNB and weatherproof it with self-amalgamating tape or a rubber boot with silicone grease. The Scart cable connection Connect the Scart cable to the Scart socket "TV" on the Receiver. Connect the Scart cable to the TV set. Normally the TV will select the respective Scart input socket whenever the Satellite Receiver is ON but you may prefer to do this manually.
Connect the dish and align approximately on the satellite Before you align the dish, you must connect the coaxial cable to the LN B. Follow also the operating instructions of your satellite dish, or satellite equipment. The Receiver must not be connected to the electricity supply, if you have already connected the LNB cable to the Receiver. Screw the F plug onto the connection of the LNB.
The second step Switch on the Receiver. Please note that the Receiver is preprogrammed for the most current satellites and their programs and you only need to select the program numbers with the Receiver remote control: Example If you'd like to receive the satellite Astral 19° east, you must put your Receiver on program position 1. The same also applies to other satellites as for example Hotbird. If you want to align your dish on Hotbird, you must select a preprogrammed program for Hotbird in your Receiver.
Operation The remote control For the remote control you need two batteries type Micro: LR 03 / AAA / 1.5V Open the battery compartment. Insert two batteries, observing the marked polarity in the battery compartment and close the battery cover again carefully, until the catch engages. Exchange weak batteries immediately to avoid misoperation. Always exchange both batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type.
Switch on the AV channel on the TV set. Put the power plug of the Receiver in the power outlet. When the receiver is in normal ON mode, the red LED shines. If you want to power the Receiver with 12V, put the 12V cable in the socket "DC IN" and connect it to the 12V power source. The Receiver is preprogrammed with television programs and can be used directly. If you want to find out whether there are new programs, activate a programsearch run. Read more information below.

Software update via satellite The update has to do nothing with the finding new television channels, but serves merely for renewing the receiver's factory software. The update is not usually necessary for a Receiver which is working normally. You must align your satellite dish on the satellite Astra-1 19° east to be able to carry out the software download. The software download can take up to one hour. It is recommended you reinstate the default settings after download, in addition.
