Connecting To The Antenna - Topfield SRP-2411 User Manual

2.4.1 Connecting to the antenna

Normally you do that by using a loop cable to link from the
LNB 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector. If you have
two antennas without DiSEqC switch, then you have to con-
nect a cable from the other antenna directly to the LNB 2 IN
connector rather than using the loop cable.
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 con-
nection separately but not simultaneously. If there are too
many antenna devices to be supplied with power through
antenna input connections simultaneously for a long time,
your LNBs may lack power to operate. So it is recommended
to link the LNB 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.
NOTE
Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could
simultaneously catch all frequencies coming from a satellite
and send them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite

Whatever sort of connection you have be-
tween the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to the
antenna so that it can receive digital televi-
sion 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 connection to both the LNB 1
IN and LNB 2 IN connectors on your digital
receiver, so that both tuners work properly.
