COMMUNICATIONS has been importing MPEG-2 free to air receivers since
1997. Many brands have come and gone, and countless improvements in
design have been witnessed. We have carried the PANSAT brand since
its inception back in 1998. The Pansat 9200-HD, 6000 HXC, 3500-SD,
250-SM, 2800 and
2700 are the current production models available for sale at this time. PANSAT is the leader in consumer MPEG-2 Free-To-Air satellite receivers. Descended from the original HYUNDAI designs, these receivers are marketed by PANAREX ELECTRONICS in California, using their PANSAT trademark. The PANSAT 2500 receiver was revolutionary in its perfection of a blind-scan (also known as SMART SCAN) circuit, in which unknown digital channels can be automatically scanned by the receiver without the end user having to know the technical parameters in advance. It spawned many imitators, but no other MPEG-2 receiver has had the same excellent results as PANSAT, especially when searching for narrow-band signals with low symbol rates. Model 2700 replaced the 2500, and ups the channel capacity to 5000 channels, and has the ability to store up to 100 satellites. It also features a new infrared remote control of the Universal type, pictured above. The same universal remote is used on the model 6000 HC PVR (personal video recorder). A UHF Remote Control Kit (Model U-30) can be added to models 250-SM, 2300, 2500, 2700, 2800, 3500SD, 6000 or the 9200HD, and provide UHF (rather than infrared) control of a receiver from another room. Model 2800 is an effort to provide features such as Component connections found on the model 3500-SD, but does not have 3-wire polarizer connections for servo motor control. It comes in at a lower price than the 3500-SD and is designed for those desiring a basic receiver but with Component outputs. Model 3500-SD has the features found on the PANSAT 2700, plus CONAX CAS-7 embedded conditional access, SD (Secure Digital) memory card, Component Video output, and larger memory capacity. Memory card can connect to a built-in interface and perform functions of Flash upgrade, back-up, and an MP3 audio player. The 3500-SD also has a Real Time Clock, which performs much more accurately than those updated via satellite. Model 250-SM is similar in features to the 3500-SD, but uses a Memory Stick instead of an SD memory card for data transfer. Model 6000-HXC replaces the model 5000-HC, combining a high quality MPEG-2 free to air receiver (10,000 channel 100 satellite memory) with a 60 GB hard drive, allowing typical digital recording of up to 36 hours on this PVR device. The MP3 audio player found on Model 3500-SD is also featured in the 6000-HXC and this model, in addition to the Real Time Clock feature. Model 9200-HD combines a high definition satellite receiver with an off-air HD capable ATSC tuner for local digital TV signals. Breakthrough Blind scan on the satellite section, and it does process AC-3 audio without the need for any additional hardware. A great combination unit for those wanting access to free High Definition signals. TWO YEAR manufacturer's limited warranty coverage is offered on current production models. Any needed service can be done through the Los Angeles area office of PANAREX ELECTRONICS. PANSAT has a reputation for quality, backed by an unusual (at least in this industry) commitment from their service department. Many of the other MPEG-2 receiver suppliers send out refurbished (used) spares to handle in-warranty returns. A bank of repaired units is normally maintained for such trade-outs. Out of warranty coverage can be questionable and sometimes not available at all. PANSAT's in-house service department is available for quick repairs in as well as out of warranty, using manufacturer-supplied parts and factory trained technicians. | ||||||
Those wanting an even less costly receiver for basic use, such as Digital Audio, or the wonders of Galaxy 10R Ku or Galaxy 25 Ku-band, might consider a recent entry called the TRI-MAX T-100, which comes in at a very attractive price point, and while not a Blind Scan type receiver, performs all basic functions in a very acceptable way. We also can recommend the TRAXIS DBS-3500 receiver, a well designed receiver produced in China for DMS International. It matches and surpasses the Trimax T-100 in features, but features the same excellent performance on weak signals that the T-100 is now famous for. The DBS-3500 also includes a Blind Scan feature that is extremely fast when compared to other receivers on the market. Its picture quality is second to none, and the price point is unbelievable after looking at features and performance. We would consider it the easiest receiver on the market to operate, and offer a custom memory transfer service to preload satellites and channels for instant out-of-the-box operation. The Traxis DBS-3500 now features a working AC3 Dolby digital pass-through circuit to allow listening to Dolby AC3 surround sound when connected to a stereo receiver with Dolby digital processor circuit. Another entry in the TRAXIS line is the rack-mounted commercial receiver called the DBS-2800. The only receiver we have that is not equipped with a remote control. Units have already been manually programmed for Galaxy 25 Ku-band, and can be custom programmed for other satellites upon request. Meant for broadcast, CATV and other applications that require dependable 24/7 unattended operation of one channel. | ||||||
