ABOUT THIS MANUAL  
This manual was composed in Microsoft Word 97, and is configured to be used most easily as an  
electronic document. It can be printed and used as a hard copy, but some features, such as links,  
are not accessible in that mode.  
If viewing the electronic version, we recommend you safeguard the original to avoid the effects  
of somehow altering your master copy.  
1. Cross-references  
Cross-references are internally linked for easy access. If you are viewing the electronic version  
of this manual, and see text that is blue and underlined, such as (TABLE OF CONTENTS) you  
can “click” your mouse on that text and “link” to that section.  
When you are ready to return to the previous section, “click” on the web toolbar “back” arrow  
and return. The web toolbar should appear automatically when you use a link, but if it does not  
you can invoke it from Toolbars on the View menu.  
Because many users will print the manual, we have also included the page numbers for most  
links.  
2. Table of Contents  
You can also link from the Table of Contents to any listed page. This also applies to the List of  
Tables and List of Illustrations. Just “click” on the page number for any section, table, etc., you  
want to move to. Return to the Table of Contents as in Number 1 above.  
3. Other Viewing Methods  
In the electronic Word version, there are several methods of moving about a document.  
“Clicking” Document Map or Online Layout on the View menu will open a window showing the  
document outline. This is similar to the Table of Contents, and will allow you to move about the  
document by “clicking” on a section. It has the advantage of not going away when you move to  
another section. It also has the disadvantage of taking up screen space when it is open.  
Another way to better view the document is to “click” on the “Up arrow” icon on the Web  
Toolbar. This will minimize many of the toolbars, freeing most of the screen for viewing the  
manual. “Click” the arrow again to restore the toolbars.

SECTION 1  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
1.1  
INTRODUCTION  
This section contains instructions for connecting the Model DVR395/DVR396 Digital Video  
Receiver into a satellite receive system, and operating it in that mode.  
1.2  
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION  
Carefully unpack the unit and inspect it for obvious signs of physical damage, which might have  
occurred during shipment. Any damage claims must be reported to the carrier immediately. Be  
sure to check packing materials carefully for important documents and materials. Please contact  
Wegener Communications Customer Service Department with questions at (770) 814-4057 or  
fax (770) 232-0621. See Section 1.6 (Page 16) for more Technical Support assistance.  
* * * WARNING * * *  
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio  
interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.  
1.3  
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT  
To avoid damage to this and other equipment, or personal injury, the following items should be  
strictly observed.  
1.3.1  
DVR395 Desktop Version  
The DVR395 Receiver may be installed on any reasonably level surface located in a clean, dry  
environment. Avoid locations subject to severe vibration or jarring impacts. The unit will meet  
the full 10 to 40oC operating temperature specification only if adequate ventilation is provided.  
Set it on a hard surface so that the mounting feet can maintain clearance under the unit. Avoid  
stacking objects or equipment against or on top of the unit where the vent holes would be  
blocked.  
1.3.2  
DVR395 Rack-Mounting Version  
Mount the DVR395 Receiver in a standard EIA 19-inch (48.3 Cm) equipment rack located in a  
clean, dry environment. Attach the front mounting ears at all four mounting points and do not  
stack any other equipment on the receiver. Check that the total rack current consumption is  
within the limits of the AC branch circuit and that a reliable earth safety ground is maintained.  
The unit will meet the full 10 to 40oC operating temperature specification only if adequate  
ventilation is provided. This requirement is easily met if the installer leaves one empty 1-3/4-  
inch (4.4 Cm) rack-unit space between units (50% rack utilization). Forced air is usually not  
Page 9 of 30  
DVR395/DVR396-002  
 
Page 10  
required if the room is cool (<75°F). For higher rack mounting densities, forced-air rack  
ventilation is strongly recommended. Please note the average per-unit power dissipation of 45  
watts (@ max LNB DC current loading) and plan accordingly.

1.3.3  
Elevated Operating Ambient  
If equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient of the  
rack may be greater than the room ambient. Therefore, considerations should be given to the  
TMRA, or Temperature inside the Mounting Rack, and not just inside the room.  
1.3.4  
Reduced Air Flow  
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe  
operation of the equipment is not compromised.  
1.3.5  
Mechanical Loading  
Mounting of equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due  
to uneven loading  
1.3.6  
Circuit Overloading  
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect  
that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate  
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.  
1.3.7  
Reliable Earthing  
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should  
be given to supply connections other than direct connection to the Branch (use of power strips).

Figure 1. Ferrite Bead Installation For DVR396  
1.4.1  
Ferrite Cores And Their Installation  
In order to meet FCC requirements for Radiated Emissions, this unit must have Ferrites installed  
on certain cables. Failure to install these cores may allow interference with other equipment,  
resulting in degraded audio and/or video signals. Eight ferrite cores have been shipped with the  
unit, and should be installed per the following instructions.  
As a basic rule, all cables or wires to any one connector are looped through one ferrite. This is  
particularly important to the relay outputs (See Figure 1 (Page 11).  
1.4.1.1 Types Of Ferrites  
There are two different types of ferrites included with the unit – three large and 5 smaller ones.  
Both types are made to clamp on a loop of the cable(s) and minimize electronic signals being  
radiated from the cable.  
This is necessary because cables carrying electronic signals often act as broadcast antenna,  
sending “Radio” signals to other cables, which can “Receive” them and inject them into other  
units’ signals, causing interference with the other signals. To reduce this as much as possible, all  
Page 11 of 30  
DVR395/DVR396-002  
 
Page 12  
installations, but especially in multi-service environments, should use high-quality shielded  
cables, with the shield grounded according to good engineering standards.  
1.4.1.2 Ferrite Installation  
For this installation, there are three ferrites that are larger than the others. These should be used  
for the cables numbered 6, 7, and 8 in the list below. These are the relay cables, the video cable,  
and the S-Video cable. The other five cables will normally have a smaller total diameter, and  
should fit into the smaller ferrites.  
These ferrites must be installed on cables attached to the following connectors:

8. S-Video  
The cables must pass through the ferrite and then loop around and pass through again. See  
Figure 1 (Page 11). For proper results, the core should be positioned on the cable as close to the  
chassis connector as possible. With minimal slack in the loop, the wiring alone should properly  
support the core. No additional support should be necessary.

The following definitions apply to Table 6:  
Blink - LED is OFF for 1 second, and then blinks on count times (ON for 250 ms  
and OFF for 250 ms). This overall pattern is continued.  
Flutter - ON for 50 ms, OFF for 50 ms, repeating….  
AMBER - RED and GREEN turned ON at the same time.  
Note: ms = 1/1000 second  
The conditions are listed in the order of their display priority with highest priority at top. For  
example, if the unit is in Satellite Search Mode, and there is an NTSC/PAL mismatch, the LED  
should indicate the Satellite Search condition.  
Note that the alarm conditions are those conditions preventing the delivery of video.  
2.5  
POWER ON PROCEDURE  
Apply power to the receiver. The unit performs a quick checksum test on the EEPROM  
(electrically erasable programmable read only memory). When the test passes, the unit initializes  
various devices and configures itself according to the EEPROM settings. It then waits for the  
receiver board to complete its power up test, which takes about 10 seconds. When the receiver

Banner, shown in Figure 6 (Page 21), to the serial port. If you are in Terminal mode, the banner  
displays on the terminal screen. Otherwise, “ALARM: INSTALLATION” displays on the  
monitor screen. The IRD then enters alarm mode until all of the alarm conditions are cleared.
