2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver

2.4.1
Connecting the antenna
Whatever sort of connection you have be-
tween the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to
your television antenna so that it can receive
digital television services.
Connect the antenna cable to the
LNB 1 IN
connector on the back panel of the digital
receiver.
Also, you must ensure that there is a con-
nection to both the
LNB 1 IN
and
LNB 2 IN
connectors on your digital receiver, so that
both tuners work properly.
Normally you do that by using a loop cable to link from the
IF
1 OUT
connector to the
LNB 2 IN
connector.
If you have two antennas without DiSEqC switch, then you
have to connect a cable from the other antenna directly to the
LNB 2 IN
connector rather than using the loop cable. If you
have another digital receiver, you may link it from the
IF 2
OUT
connector.
NOTE
The digital receiver can supply a current of 500 milliampere at
maximum for antenna devices including LNB, DiSEqc switch
and antenna rotor through each antenna input connection sep-
arately but not simultaneously. If there are too many antenna
devices to be supplied with power through antenna input con-
nections simultaneously for a long time, your LNBs may lack
power to operate. So it is recommended to link the
IF 1 OUT
connector to the
LNB 2 IN
connector with a loop cable even
though the digital receiver is designed to operate over two
antennas alternatively.
