Making The Connections - X-Digital System X-Digital Systems XDS Quick Start Manual

1. MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

Satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio must be properly
connected. Please follow the steps below:
1.1 SATELLITE RF CONNECTION
Your XDS receiver is pre-tuned to the Westwood One carrier on AMC-8. Once the
satellite RF is properly connected and you apply AC power, the XDS receiver should
automatically tune and lock to the Westwood One carrier.
A. Connect the satellite RF to your downlink
Your new XDS receiver is delivered with a parts kit that includes two 6-foot RG-6
cables and an L-band splitter that allows DC power to pass through one port.
B. Verify the XDS receiver is tuned and locked to the WESTWOOD ONE
carrier
Once the satellite RF is properly connected, apply AC power to the receiver and
verify as follows:
• If the SIGNAL LED is green then the receiver is locked to the WESTWOOD
ONE carrier and the LCD screen will display:

EB ##.# AG ### (# = numerical value)
EB should be above 7 and AG should be between about 40 and 60 for
proper operation.
• If the XDS receiver does not acquire the Westwood One carrier, the red
FAULT LED will illuminate steadily and the LCD screen will display:

Verify proper RF connections and the XDS receiver should automatically
lock to the carrier.
