INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of our new digital satellite receiver that will make your life richer and closer to your dream. Before using your new receiver, we suggest that you read this manual carefully for your own safety and correct operation of the system. The STARLIGHT 6800 is an advanced digital satellite receiver with two common interface (CAM SLOTS), IRDETO Hard-Wired CI and built in positioner. It can store up to 5000 channels (TV and Radio collectively). The receiver is designed to cope with the many different operating requirements often imposed by different broadcast standards and program providers world-wide. During development, we have evolved the best possible solutions to create the next generation of satellite receivers together with the most up-to-date electronics and easy to use on-screen menu system. The new digital satellite receiver is designed to give you outstanding pictures and CD-quality audio with a touch of a button.

Before you install and operate the receiver, please read the following safety notice. SAFETY NOTICE

BY PRESSING SAT BUTTON

Whilst watching any channel press SAT and the channel list will come up on your screen with the current satellite highlighted. TO SELECT A CHANNEL WITHIN THE SAME SATELLITE Press OK then scroll through the list individually or press PAGE up / down to change the page. Press OK on desired channel. TO SELECT A CHANNEL FROM ANOTHER SATELLITE Press CH up / down to scroll through the satellites on the right. Once the channel list has changed press VOL down this will enter the channel list on the left. Then Press CH up / down to scroll through the list individually or press PAGE up / down to change the page. Press OK on desired channel on the chosen satellite. In both cases above if you select a channel from another satellite, the antenna will automatically move to that satellite. TO RECALL THE LAST CHANNEL VIEWED Press RECALL once on your remote. If you press again it will go back to previous channel.

SELECTING RADIO CHANNELS To select radio channel press TV / RADIO button and follow the steps described in Changing Satellite or Channels in viewing mode. When the radio mode is on the screen will display a background picture. To exit from radio mode press TV / RADIO button again.

Viewing scrambled channels

IMPORTANT When inserting CAM (Conditional Access Module) the receiver must be switched off first. Inserting the CAM whilst the receiver is on may cause the receiver to crash or malfunction.
Your receiver is equipped with two CI (Common Interface) slots located behind the front flap. Open the flap from top right hand side and insert the module in either of the slots together with a valid smart card as shown below.

The CI and smart card modules determine the programs that can be de-scrambled. You can plug in two different modules providing access to both services. Each smart card contains your subscription details. You can view your entitlement via the following menu. Follow steps indicated.

CA SETUP MENU: Common Interface

After inserting card and module, select CA SETUP menu and press OK. 1. Common Interface This will show slots A and B and the type of CAM you have inserted. Select the slot you are using and press OK for sub menu. The below menu will appear which is generated by the CAM itself. 2. Embedded This section is reserved for models with software embedded CI systems with the card slot provided.

Consultation menu
Select slot A or B and press OK. This will show the various parameters concerning your CAM and card subscriptions. Press VOL up / down to select an item then press OK to enter that parameter. Press ESC when finished.

14

On screen card message

If you have inserted the CAM without the smart card or your card is currently not valid, the card message will appear on your screen as shown on left. Insert a valid card and this message will disappear.

NOTE: These messages are generated by the CAM and smart card and may vary with different access systems. Sometimes the screen may display a card message over a de-scrambled channel. This may be caused by having two identical CAMs inserted but each with a smart card from a different service provider. (E.g. TPS smart card and the other AB SAT smart card). In this case as TPS channel is being accessed, it will de-scramble the channel but at the same time the AB SAT card may display above card message. When this happens press ESC to cancel the message.

CI Conditional Access
Please note that the CAM slots (F11) take priority over hard-wired card slot as below. In below configuration when CAMs are inserted in slot A and B, card slot C becomes non-active. CAMs A and B remain active.
