CAUTION The interior of your receiver (Re)playBox contains some components that are under high tension, never open the appliance, even after unplugging the power supply. In general, electrical appliances are not connected to earth, you can then get some electrical discharges (which are not risky) when you touch 2 appliances at the same time (or an appliance and an aerial cable).

General installation advice Choice of the location and satellite dish assembling Whatever your choice of installation, your fixing must be stable and vertical. • In the event of an obstacle, respect the rule of distances explained below. For example, a building with a height of 10m will not interfere with the reception as soon as it is situated at more than 15m from the satellite dish.

LNBs assembly Your satellite kit can contain various type of LNB • LNB in metal grey (schema D1): make sure to position the triangular mark (5) upwards. It is normal that the body of the head is tilted on 45°, the cable leaves tilted at 45°. •...
Installation of a fixed dish on a satellite Read the installation advice, and particulary the paragraph E (page 5). Connections The receiver must be disconnected from the power supply, connect directly the LNB to the receiver LNB input. Connect the television to the receiver scart socket output. Switch on the television and connect the receiver to the power supply.
Adjustment of counter polarization Spin the LNB clockwise in its support for a few degrees to further increase the level of signal. If the signal decreases, spin it in the other way. Once you obtain the best signal, tighten definitively the screws from the LNB. You can now watch all the satellite channels from the satellite you just aligned your satellite dish Installation of a bi-head satellite dish Astra 19,2 + Hotbird The easiest way of receiving Astra and Hotbird satellite is to install a LNB called...

Installation / Alignment • Install the Monobloc like you see on the schema underneath. • Do the alignment on Hotbird like indicated in the preceding paragraph (fixed dish on a satellite) • When you receive Hotbird, you should automatically receive the Astra channels. Some- times, it is necessary to adjust the alignment to optimise the reception of the 2 satellites.
• Go down on the row and tape OK. The motor is going to its reference reference position position (mechanical stop East on the Metronic motor, ref: 450908). 4 - Continuing rotation In the menu motor adjustment, go onto the row .

Page 13
Assembing the motor (See schema 2) • Make sure the fixing (tube or stand off arm) is stabilised and strictly vertical. A gap of more than 1 degree (2cm, 0,78” per meter) from the vertical will prevent the motor to work correctly. In case, add some block between the wall and the fixing. Check the verticality with a spirit level or a plumb line.
Page 14
Connection For the installation you will need 2 pie- ces of cable. The first one, roughly 1,5m (4,92ft) to go from the LNB to the motor, the second one as long as it takes to go from the motor to the receiver. ����...
Page 15
Prepare the motor You will now memorised the Hot Bird position then take back the motor precisely at 0° to assemble the satellite dish. 1) Put the receiver on the Hotbird reference channel , while typing 0072 on the remote control.
Page 16
Assemble the different elements from the satellite dish in checking the user manual inclu- des with it. • For the METRONIC satellite dish in metal 77-80cm (Four holes), the satellite dish back support should be adjusted at 54° (check the picture above).
Page 17
Assembling the satellite dish on the motor • Assemble the satellite dish and fix it on the motor’s mast. The satellite dish U-Bolt must be the highest as possible on the angled arm to avoid the bottom of the dish to touch the motor.
Page 18
Checking Before going to the final stage (the alignment) check that your installation looks like the picture below. Aligment / Satellite dish orientation • At the end of the step K, you will receive the reference channel ZDF on the television screen.
Page 19
Orientation adjustment • Put the receiver on the Atlantic Bird 3 reference channel. • Check in diagram the Atlantic Bird 3 angular reading of your geographical area. • Give a satellite number to Atlantic Bird 3 (put 01 in case you hesitate). ���...

Hotbird like shown on the Diagram 17 underneath. Do the same operations for the other satellites. For your information, the diagram 17, gives you the satellites relative position for which some channels are pre-programmed in the metronic receivers. When you receive all the satellites, screw definitively all the nuts. Your installation is finished.
Connection with a fixed satellite dish already aligned on a satellite Notes: if your satellite dish is currently pointed towards Atlantic Bird 3 (ex Telecom 2C = national analogue channel in Free To Air), you will not have access to any digi- tal channels.
Remote control description Digital keys. In normal use, it allows to type the channel number desired. In the programming mode, it allows you to enter the digital values. Touch ON / OFF. Allows switching on or switching off and Mute putting the terminal in standby.

Digital PVR General points Your (Re)playBOX contain a hard drive (HD). The hard drive capacity of 40 GigaOctets allow you to record about 25 hours. The duration is roughly because it depends on the rate of the emission you are recorded. In general, you need to count 1.5 Go per recording hour, but some emissions or channels might need 2Go/h or more.
Page 34
Recording To record an emission you are watching, press simply on the key REC and wait a few seconds. During the recording, the front face display rEC and a red point appear at the top right of the screen. On the remote control, only the volume, STOP and ON / OFF key are active.
With the arrows select the first empty row and press OK to display the recording adjust- ment window. • On the row satellite, select with the arrow 34 the satellite which emits the channel to record. • On the row starting date, enter the emission date •...
Recording management By pressing on the List key (or PLAY), you make the recording list to appear. The window indicates the number, the name of the recording, which by default the name of the chan- nel, the duration, and the type of recording (TV or Radio). You can change the name by selecting the recording with the arrows 56, then by pres- sing on 4.
EPG (electronic program guide) The EPG key allows you to access the Electronic Program Guide. Most of the channels emit only some information concerning the emission in progress and the following one. By pressing on OK on the emission in progress, or the following, you access more detailed information on the emission.
Questions / Answers •Why does the screen stay black ? The channel that you want to watch may be encrypted (pay per view). For your informa- tion, a broadcaster could emit an encrypted channel with information, which makes the receiver to believe that the channel is Free To Air. The opposite is possible. •My motor is jammed, what do I have to do? Reset the motor •Why the motor is not rotating on its entire course?
