SR2015 Satellite System (160-2514)      Features        Faxback Doc. # 8160

Your Radio Shack SR-2015 Home Satellite Television (HST) System Receiver
is specially designed to be the ultimate receiver for a single-
satellite HST 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" in this manual 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 Cable Circuits - simplify connections by using the same
coaxial cable for three separate purposes:  sending power and polarity
signals to the satellite dish and sending satellite signals to the
receiver.

Audio/Video Outputs - let you directly connect the SR-2015 to a VCR or TV
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 Display - indicates the channel, audio frequency and volume
level. To the right of this display are indicators for VCII reception,
satellite brand (C or Ku) and polarity control - VER (vertical) or HOR
(horizontal).

Selectable TV Output - lets you receive the satellite programs on Channel
3 or 4 of a standard TV set.

TV Antenna Pass-Through - automatically sends the VHF/UHF TV antenna
signals to your TV 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" 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".
