Symbol rate
The symbol rate is an indication of the volume of data being transmitted per second. A typi-
cal rate might be 27000, indicating that 27000 symbols per second are being transmitted. Use the numeric key pad to enter the appropriate symbol rate.
The FEC function adjusts error correction to the requirements of the selected transponder.
Use the OK key to enter the appropriate FEC. This can be 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 6/7 or 7/8. If the FEC rate is not known, use the Auto setting.
Signal
This line will indicate the signal strength, provided the details of the transponder have been
entered correctly. |

6 Operation
6.1 Switching on and off
>Use the key On/standby on the receiver or on the remote control to switch the receiver on.
>Pressing the same key on the receiver or on the remote control again will switch the receiver off again.
>The receiver is now in standby mode, the display on the receiver will now show the time.
If the time is not shown, this must still be acquired by the receiver. In Germany, it is sufficient to switch the receiver on, and to select Channel 1 (ARD) of the public servi- ce broadcast system for the time to be acquired automatically.
6.2 Programme Selection
6.2.1Using the Programme up/down keys
>Use the Channel up/down keys either on the receiver front panel or on the remote control to move up or down the list one channel at a time.
6.2.2Using the Numeric Key Pad
>Use the numeric key pad to enter the desired programme/channel number directly: For example:
1 | Programme/channel 1 |
1, followed by 4 | Programme/channel 14 |
2, followed by 3, followed by 4 | Programme/channel 234 |
When entering programme numbers consisting of more than one digit, you have about 3 seconds after pressing one digit to enter the next digit, in order to complete the entry in such a way that the receiver recognises all digits as part of one selection.
If you are entering a programme number with only one or two digits, you can speed up the selection process by pressing OK after entering the last digit.
6.2.3Using the Programme List
> Press the key OK
A list of programmes will now be displayed.
