Important Guidelines

Review this guide in its entirety before installing your XDS-pro receiver. Follow these instructions before calling
Support (see last page).
Your receiver must be connected to a fulltime internet connection to allow the network to troubleshoot with
you, and to provide a backup streaming audio path in case the satellite signal is unavailable.
Please make all satellite RF, LAN/WAN and audio connections prior to applying power to the XDS receiver.
ESPN recommends that the receiver be powered by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with surge
protection.
There are no user-adjustable switches, jumpers or controls inside the XDS unit, so please do not open the unit
or break the warranty seal.
Appendix A at the end of this document contains a front panel menu map that can help you navigate through
the XDS receiver settings and configuration.

1. Satellite RF Connection

 Your XDS-Pro receiver is preconfigured to tune itself to the settings specified in the Network Data Sheet at
https://myxdsreceiver.espn.com/aff/Documentation/Network%20Data%20Sheet.pdf
 It is intended to operate with a commonly-available LNB with a 5,150 MHz local oscillator and L-band output
frequencies between 950 and 2,150 MHz.
 (Under the 2020-21 C-band repack effort, radio networks in the US now operate in the smaller 950 to 1,150
MHz portion of that band.)
 We recommend using RG-6 cable and a splitter that will pass those frequencies.

2. LNB Voltage

 Your receiver was shipped from the factory with the LNB voltage turned off by default.
 If you need the receiver to power the LNB on your downlink dish, you can enable it after you have powered it
up: On the front panel menu, go to Setup >Tuner.
