WARNING !!!
Ferguson satellite receivers support recording on external hard disk drives (HDDs) and
flash memories (pendrives). In all instances, the correct operation of the recording
function depends on the type of connected memory! You must read the following
limitations.

REMEMBER:
1. In order to use an external USB memory, the memory must support the USB
2.0 standard. To ensure stable recording and playback, you must use a
memory with a recording speed of 9.0 MB/s or greater. Slower hard disk
drives and flash memories may not function properly, have problems with
recording (image jitter), or not function at all!!!
2. Only disks with one basic NTFS or FAT32 partition (we recommend using the
NTFS format) will function properly. If you do not have such a format, prepare
the disk on your computer before connecting it to the receiver.
3. Highly fragmented or used memories may also not operate smoothly or
correctly.
4. External hard disk drives should be autonomously powered, since the built-in
USB port is unable to provide sufficient power.
5. Only one of the two USB ports can be used at the same time!

CAUTION
1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect the USB device from the
receiver during recording or playback. Disconnecting during operation may
cause damage to the receiver and/or flash memory, and to the recorded data.
2. Do not touch the working device (and in particular the USB connector) with
wet hands. Risk of electric shock and permanent damage to the receiver!

7. Connecting the satellite antenna

In order to check the correctness of connection of external equipment, for example a satellite
antenna or converter, read the installation manual or hire a professional technician!
Good reception is conditional on the precise placement of the antenna. Even the best antenna
will cause reception problems if it is incorrectly adjusted. Even slight placement errors may
render reception impossible or considerably impair image/sound quality. Before installation
make sure that the location is suitable. The proper direction may be initially determined by
making a comparison with other antennas. There should be no objects directly in front of the
antenna, for these may block the signal from reaching the bowl! Once you select an optimal
location for the antenna, fix and adjust it initially, and then proceed to a precise adjustment.
Each antenna is fitted with regulating screws that make it possible to correct its vertical and
horizontal placement.
Adjusting is somewhat more difficult in the case of digital tuners. You cannot perform
adjustments on the basis of the image, because this appears with a certain delay. What is more,
the indicators available in the settings menu also act with a delay, and therefore adjustment
may take considerable time and be very imprecise. An antenna signal meter will be
indispensable for setting up the antenna. The meter must be connected to the antenna cable
between the converter and the receiver. This will confirm the presence of a voltage that
switches the converter from the tuner and show the signal strength for individual satellites. We
strongly recommend hiring a professional technician!
7.1 Connecting an antenna system with a positioner
USALS type positioners manufactured by Stab will guarantee the correct operation of your
Ferguson receiver. In order to connect an antenna system to a USALS positioner, you should
connect the positioner out to the LNB IN of the Ferguson receiver. The role of the positioner
installed between the mast and the antenna is to turn the bowl in such a way as to ensure that
it is directed to various satellite positions.
The USALS function considerably simplifies configuration of the antenna. The
Ferguson receiver requires that you enter the geographical coordinates of the
antenna in order to automatically calculate the angle of revolution of the motor
for individual satellites. The receiver activates the positioner automatically and
turns the antenna to the selected satellite. When a signal is locked on, you
should precisely adjust the antenna's elevation and azimuth settings in order to
optimise signal reception. When correcting the azimuth, the entire antenna
assembly and positioner revolve with respect to the mast. If initially the antenna was not
directed precisely south, you can correct this now. When you have finished with the first
satellite, all other satellites will be remembered automatically, provided that you have
introduced their satellite position values correctly.
Without the USALS function, programming of the system is much more difficult. To this end you
should use the DiSEqC 1.2 function, which turns the antenna to the selected satellite in a nearly
identical manner. Since, however, it does not take into consideration the local geographical
coordinates, the movement is effected on the basis of the prime meridian and the equator.
Therefore it is necessary to introduce corrections separately for each satellite. Due to these
difficulties, manufacturers of DiSEqC 1.2 positioners frequently provide useful software on their
websites, using which you can easily calculate the location of the satellite.
8. Connecting the terrestrial antenna (Combo models only)
There are no special antennas for DVB-T. For collection of digital television, the same antennas
as analog TV reception. There is no need to change the antenna system. It is worth to check the
quality and condition of the plant, which has so far been used for analog TV reception.
Reception problems can be weathered with old antenna systems, or grid antennas. It is
recommended to use directional antennas with signal amplifier, depending on the particular
situation you may also establish impedance transformer. Indoor antenna may be used only in
areas with high signal intensity.

12

9. Connecting the receiver

The following illustrations show cable connections for a television and other devices connected
with the receiver. If you require any assistance in connecting individual devices, contact your
local technician. Before connecting or altering cabling, disconnect the receiver from the
mains !!!
Note: Availability and type of connection depends on your receiver model! Not all of the
connections are applicable for your receiver!
9.1 Connection by means of an HDMI cable (recommended)
1. Connect the antenna to the LNB IN socket of the receiver.
2. Connect the HDMI to the receiver out and the television in.
Connection by means of an HDMI cable allows you to obtain the highest image quality.

If you have an amplifier with an HDMI out and in, which supports sound sent over HDMI,
connect the devices by two HDMI cables. As in the following figure: one cable to the
amplifier, and the other from the amplifier to the television set.

13

9.2 Connection by means of SCART cables

1. Connect the antenna to the LBN IN socket of the receiver.
[Link] the television to the port in accordance with the description. We recommend
using shielded SCART cables.

9.3 Connect composite port

1. Connect LNB IN port on a receiver to a satellite dish.
2. Connect the video and audio by means of three cinch cables to the television set. One
cable, colored yellow used to send video. The two remaining cable, red and white, are
used to connect sound (right and left channel).

14

9.4 Connection of an audio system

Digital sound (including surround sound, if broadcast) can be obtained from two
sockets: coaxial (1) or optical SPDIF (2).

Stereo sound may be obtained by connecting cinch cables (white and red) for the
left and right channels

9.5 Connection of an external memory

1. The receiver supports all types of hard disk drives in housings that are equipped with an
independent power supply. The sole condition is that the hard disk has to have a single
basic partition that is formatted in the NTSF (recommended) or FAT32 system.
[Link] recommend that you regularly archive data on your PC computer. A large number of
files with recordings may slow down cooperation with the receiver (slow loading of the file
list).

WiFi is supported only when plugged into the USB port is free WiFi USB adapter based
on Ralink chipset Rt5370. Available as a separate accessory.

15

9.6 Connection of another receiver

Another receiver may be connected through the LNB OUT socket. Please keep in mind, however,
that only one device may be used at one time! Permanent damage may result if both are turned
on simultaneously.

NOTE: LOOP OUT in all Combo receivers is the only signal loop-through. This is not a
modulator, so the receiver will not let go of the image decoding (DVB-T and USB) in the
form of an analog signal on this connector.
9.7 Connection to the LAN local network
In order to connect the receiver to a local network, use an RJ45 cable. We recommend that you
restart the receiver whenever the network settings are changed.

16

9.8 Connection to the computer by means of an RS232 Null Modem cable

For connection to a computer, use a Null Modem cable.

FIRST STEPS
1. Insert the plug of the receiver and other additional devices to a wall socket.
2. Select AV signal source of your television set.
3. The satellite receiver is supplied with reinstalled television channels. In order to watch other,
i.e. non-default channels, you should use channel search function.
Note: check all of the connections, i.e. antenna cables, audio and video signal cables,
before connecting the receiver to the mains!

1. Auto scan a so-called blind scan, which consists in an automatic search for available
satellite frequencies, which are then scanned in turn.
2. Preset scan according to the TP list the receiver searches through only frequency by
frequency, in accordance with a list recorded for the selected satellite. This list may be
edited in a separate menu.
3. FastScan - receiver scans the channels of the selected provider bucket. You can add
channels to an existing list or replace an existing list. Please note that the search result
and working of this function depends solely on the provider.

11.5 Multi satellite search

In this menu you can search for channels from a few satellites. The satellites will be searched
automatically one after another in the order in which they were entered in the list of satellites.
Options concerning settings and search functions are the same as in the menu: search one
satellite. The names of satellites that are to be searched are visible in the lower part of the
window.

20

11.6 List of transponders

Channels on satellites are located in "sets". Such a "set" of channels comprises a transponder.
A list of transponders is a list of frequencies available on a given satellite. In this menu you can
edit, add and remove individual frequencies. Select a satellite by pressing the left/right arrow
keys, and the desired frequency using the up/down arrow keys.

How do I search for a new channel?

In order to search for a new channel, you must know the basic channel parameter, i.e. the
frequency on which it is broadcast. This parameter may be obtained from the broadcaster, on
the internet, in the press, etc.
Next proceed to the list of transponders, select a satellite and choose the desired frequency (if it
is not on the list, use the function: add green button on the remote control unit). Now click
OK for the selected frequency or the blue button on the remote control, in order to call out the
window for searching this frequency. Use the up/down buttons to change search options and
confirm by means of the OK button. A search will be started. Newly found channels from this
frequency will be added at the end of the list of channels.

21

11.7 Terrestrial Automatic Scan (Combo models only)

12. System settings

12.1 Language
This menu is used to define the language in which the receiver's menu is displayed. The
preferred and second language options refer to audio soundtracks. If a given channel supports
more than one audio soundtrack, the receiver will by default search for soundtracks in the
selected languages in this order. The language of subtitled as in the case of audio
soundtracks, this determines the language of subtitles to be used, provided that such subtitles
are available and active. Teletext - defines the character coding page for the teletext.

12.2 TV System
This menu is used to set the image parameters. Above all, you should determine the resolution
of the image sent over the HDMI connection. Select the highest possible resolution supported by
your HD television set in order to obtain the best image quality. The following resolutions are
available: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p (50Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (50Hz), 1080i (60Hz),
1080p (50Hz), 1080p (60Hz). If you select an unsupported resolution, your image will be lost or
become illegible you can always use the F3 key to return to the basic resolution, i.e. 576i.
If you are using a component cable connection, then for the majority of television sets we
recommend a resolution of 720p (50Hz) or 720p (60Hz), depending on your television set, and
the YUV video out. Note: if you change the video out to RGB, no video signal will be output over
the component connection!
If you are using a SCART connection, then for the majority of older television sets we
recommend setting the video out to YUV. If your television supports RGB, then activate this
option in order to obtain better image quality over the SCART connection.
Additionally, in this menu you can choose the format in which the receiver will send sound over
the digital connections. We recommend using LPCM in order to also receive a stereophonic
signal over the digital connections.
