Figure 1 IRD
(Decoder) Connection
Decoder Setup: Scientific Atlanta PowerVu (Model
9834 and 9835)
1. Connect a video cable from the VIDEO connector on
the rear of the Decoder to the Video input on the rear of the TV
monitor. Connect audio cables from the L-R AUDIO output connectors
on the rear of the IRD to L-R Audio Input connectors on the rear of
the TV Monitor. Alternatively you can run a cable from the TV OUT
connector on the Decoder to the RF input on a television. Signal
quality isn’t quite as good as using the separate video and audio
cables and the television set must be tuned to 3 or 4 (channel 3 is
the default).
2.
Plug the Decoder into AC power and wait for about 1 minute while the
receiver is booting up before continuing on. While the receiver is
booting up, the front panel display will show APP and a number
representing the current application code version. This sequence
will stop once the receiver is ready for operation.
3.
On the front panel or using the remote control, press MENU. The main
menu should be displayed on your television or monitor’s screen as
shown in figure 5.

them in directly using the number buttons on the remote control.
Press select to accept the number.
