Connecting Your Equipment  
Reference  
DiSEqC 1.0 Connection  
All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 and DiSEqC 1.2 compatible.  
This allows multiple antennas to be connected to the STB at the same time.  
If you have two or more fixed antennas or LNBs then we recommend you use a  
DiSEqC 1.0 switch.  
Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A input connector  
of the DiSEqC switch.  
Do the same for any other LNBs that you have.  
Connect one end of a coaxial cable to the RF output connector of the  
DiSEqC switch, connect the other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB.  
DiSEqC 1.2 Connection  
Please refer to page 20.  
To the digital receiver, you can connect either a single satellite antenna directly or  
LNB of multi-feed equipment.
