SR-2015 Home Satellite Television System Receiver (160-2513) Features Faxback Doc. # 8160 Your Radio Shack SR-2015 Home Satellite Television (HSTV) System Receiver is specially designed to be the ultimate receiver for a single-satellite HSTV system. It is the ideal receiver to use with the Radio Shack 5-Foot Satellite Dish (Radio Shack Cat. No. 16-2514). Single-satellite systems have become popular because of new, powerful satellites, such as Galaxy 5 (G5), which carry many of the most popular satellite channels. G5's extra-powerful signal lets you receive its programs using a small dish and an easy-to-operate receiver. The SR-2015 is microcomputer-controlled and is ready to accept an optional VideoCipher II Plus Renewable Security descrambler module. This module descrambles premium channels when you subscribe to premium satellite channel services. It also provides access to VideoPal instant pay-per-view services. VideoPal lets you watch scrambled, pay-per-view channels and special events and pay only for what you watch. The VideoPal feature monitors what you watch and sends billing information to your pay-per-view service over your telephone line. It's automatic...all you do is decide what to watch. See "VideoPal Instant Pay-Per-View" (on Faxback Doc. # 34194) for more information. The SR-2015's remote control is the primary control for receiver operation, including control of VideoCipher and VideoPal functions, channel selection, volume, and fine tuning of video and audio signals. Other convenient features of the SR-2015 include: Multiple Coaxial - Simplify connections by using the same coaxial cable for Cable Circuits three separate purposes: sending power and polarity signals to the satellite dish, and sending satellite signals to the receiver. Audio/Video - Lets you directly connect the SR-2015 to a VCR or TV Outputs monitor for optimum audio/video quality. (With an optional A/V distribution amplifier, you can connect these outputs to more than one component). Large Digital - Indicates the channel, audio frequency, and volume level. Display To the right of this display are indicators for VCII reception, satellite band (C or Ku), and polarity control - VER (vertical) or HOR (horizontal). Selectable TV - Lets you receive the satellite programs on Channel 3 or Output 4 of a standard TV set. TV Antenna Pass - Automatically sends VHF/UHF TV antenna signals to your TV Through when the satellite receiver is off. The SR-2015 also has features to make it compatible with external descramblers and VideoPal modules, and with older feedhorns that use servo- motor-controlled polarity devices. See "SR-2015 Compatibility Features" (on Faxback Doc. # 34199) if you are not using a standard Radio Shack system. You can even use The SR-2015 with C/Ku-band systems that have multiple feedhorns and LNBs. See "Multi-LNB Satellite Systems", ( on Faxback Doc. # 34199). In addition to the receiver you will also need cables and other accessories to connect your receiver to your home audio/video system. Plus, you need two AAA batteries to power the remote control. Read "Standard System Connections", (on Faxback Doc. # 34192) and make a shopping list before you start installing your system. Radio Shack stores sell all the cables and other accessories you will need. (BR/EB 7/25/96)
