Possible Issues

Option 1 - For those who view the satellite on channel 3 or 4

This option completely removes the old receiver. It is important to note that the new receiver will NOT work until August 1, 2008. Following these directions will remove service until that time. If want to have both receivers available, try option 3.

Set new receiver on top of old receiver
Remove Power from your existing receiver
Remove the coax cable that is connected to the K/V port on the back of the old receiver
Take the cable just removed and connect it to the IF Input on the new receiver

Remove the cable connected to the Out to TV port on the old receiver
Connect that cable to the Out to TV port on the new receiver
Remove the cable connected to the Antenna Input port of the old receiver (if applicable)
Connect that cable to the Antenna In port on the new receiver (if applicable)
Remove the old receiver and set aside
Connect the power to the new receiver

If this procedure is followed you will have removed the old receiver and have a new Pansat 2700 installed in its place. This receiver will not show any video until after August 1, 2008. When the power button is turned off you will get a time display that starts by default at 0000 and begins to count. This is a 24 hour style clock. When the unit starts working in August this should change to the proper time.

Option 2 - For those who view using the A/V input

This option completely removes the old receiver. It is important to note that the new receiver will NOT work until August 1, 2008. Following these directions will remove service until that time.

Set new receiver on top of old receiver
Remove Power from your existing receiver
Remove the coax cable that is connected to the K/V port on the back of the old receiver
Take the cable just removed and connect it to the IF Input on the new receiver

Connect the power to the new receiver

Option 3 - For those who want to connect both receivers

This option is for those who want to connect the new receiver while having the current receiver remain operational. This option is not for those who use the A/V input to view programming. This will allow a person to simply press the power button after August 1, 2008 to switch viewing from the current receiver to the new Pansat 2700.

(Please make careful notice of where each cable is removed from the old receiver)

Set new receiver on top of old receiver
Remove Power from your existing receiver
Remove the coax cable that is connected to the K/V port on the back of the old receiver
Take the cable just removed and connect it to the IF Input on the new receiver

Add a short coax jumper from the new receiver’s IF Output to the old receiver’s K/V port
Remove the cable connected to the Out to TV port on the old receiver
Connect that cable to the Out to TV port on the new receiver
Connect a short coax jumper from the new receiver’s Antenna In port to the old receiver’s Out to TV port
Connect the power to the new receiver
Reconnect the power to the old receiver

If this procedure is followed correctly you will now have the ability to turn off the new Pansat receiver and still receive video reception on the old receiver. After August 1, 2008 you simply press the power button on the new Pansat Receiver and you will start to receive video reception on the new receiver.

Possible Issues:

Display Channel: Make sure the channel selection switch on the back of the receivers are in the same position/channel

Clock: The clock on the front display is shown in 24 hour mode. The clock is set by default to automatically update. These updates will begin after August 1, 2008. If you wish, there is a way to manually program your clock in the user menu

Channel Selection: To receive video on the old receiver you would choose channels 301-316. The new receivers only receive 10 channels. The new receivers come preprogrammed from SCETV with channels 1-10 mapped to view what was 301-310 on the old receivers. If you are looking for channel 306 for example, it would be now located on channel 6.
