• LNB 2 OUT—this is a ltered through-connecon from LNB 2 IN and, where used, will usually
connect to a second SAT outlet at the master locaon. High- pass ltering is included in the starBOX
to prevent terrestrial signals being degraded by LNB noise which could otherwise interfere due to
crosstalk in the wiring or the master outlet plate.
• OUT 1-5 or OUT 1-10—these are the extension room outlets and carry FM and DAB radio from the
respecve aerial inputs as well as the UHF return signal connected to UHF RETURN. These outputs
do not carry satellite IF signals. Each of the ve or ten outputs is powered at approximately 9 V DC to
power an infrared receiver eye.
Important: please understand that the UHF path to the extension room outlets comes enrely from UHF
RETURN IN. There is no direct bypass from the aerial and CCTV inputs to the extension rooms. Therefore
there must always be a path or connecon between MASTER OUT and UHF RETURN, otherwise no TV
signals will reach the extension rooms. This path is usually provided at the master locaon, as explained
above. In the event that no master equipment is installed, a link should be connected between MASTER
OUT and UHF RETURN either at the master outlet plate or directly at the starBOX unit in order to provide
TV signals in the extension rooms.
Remote control opon:
Using a magic infra-red eye (e.g. PROcepon PROSAT1EYE) enables remote control. However, this can
only be used to control a Sky Digibox or Sky+ PVR. The remote receiver eyes communicate directly with
the Sky* equipment and it is essenal that the UHF RETURN input of the starBOX is fed directly from the
RF OUT-2 connector of the Sky* or Sky+* receiver (see connecon diagram, Fig.2) or I/O port# of the Sky
receiver.

Installaon notes
Installaon xed wiring plan:
The xed wiring for a full installaon is shown in Fig.1 on pages 6-7. Signal sources not required may of
course be omied. Any number of extension rooms may be connected, up to the maximum of ve or ten
for the PROSTR5S and PROSTR10S units respecvely. The diagram also shows how the two spare outputs
from a quad LNB can be wired to single F outlets in an extension room/s to allow addional local satellite
equipment to be used. In this case a separate Sky* or Sky+* receiver will be needed at this locaon.
starBOX locaon and xing:
Choose a suitable central locaon to x the starBOX unit. The locaon must be dry and not subject to
prolonged ambient temperature condions of less than -10 °C or more than +40 °C.
Fix the starBOX unit to a sound vercal surface such as a wall or equipment mounng board. Venlaon
gaps of at least 50 mm should be le around the front and all sides of the unit. More clearance will be
required above, below and to the le of the unit to allow access for the signal cables.
Do not install the unit where it could become smothered with curtains or other so furnishing fabrics or
leave it resng on a carpet. When installing the unit in a roof space or similar building void ensure that
it will not come into contact with thermal insulaon material.
Cables and signal connecons:
To preserve RF screening integrity the signal connecons to the unit should be made using good quality
coaxial cable and connectors. This is parcularly important with digital terrestrial TV (DTT) to minimise
the ingress of impulsive electrical interference from home appliances and with digital satellite TV to
prevent missing channels. The use of cable benchmarked under the CAI scheme is recommended. All
signal connecons are made with Type-F connectors. The use of good quality crimp connectors, used in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instrucons will give the best results. The importance of achieving
sound braid connecons cannot be over-stressed. Completed connecons should always be ghtened
with a spanner; leaving them nger-ght can somemes lead to poor connecons and aenuaon of the
signal. If the CCTV input is not used, the 75Ω terminator plug supplied must be le in place. Any other
unused connectors may be le open.
