FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Line 1 through 4 on the antenna satel- lite selection menu
Select one of the alternatives ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR when you have a single LNB pointed towards any of these satel- lites.
Pressing OK from the selected alternative will display the “An- tenna adjustment” menu (shown to the right) on the screen.
For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to 4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu. When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the marked channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select
channel with the buttons.)
Antenna adjustment and signal check
•Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have a high value on the Signal strength (AGC) *) indicator (the red bar at the top of the menu) and on the Signal quality (SNR) in- dicator (the red, yellow and green bar at the top of the menu).
OK
If you do not get a picture, you may be tuned to an analogue sig- nal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is po- sitioned towards the wrong satellite.
The reason could also be that the marked channel is not trans- mitting at the moment. If so, select one of the other prepro-
grammed channels with the buttons.
When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Media- master automatically starts searching for and downloads chan- nels from the satellite. Please refer to page 21.
(If you have a good indication of the signal quality, but no picture from any of the channel alternatives, try proceeding with the channel search anyway by pressing OK).
*) About Signal strength (AGC) and Signal quality (SNR)
The different signal indicators at the top of the menu provide in- formation about two things:
AGC: The AGC, shown with a red bar, will indicate the average strength of any incoming signal, digital as well as analogue.
SNR: The SNR, shown with a red, yellow and green bar, will indicate the signal quality for the preprogrammed channel chosen.
