Programming TV programmes

The satellite receiver has already been factory pre-programmed for satellite re- ceiving systems with feed systems (receiving system) which have an oscillator fre- quency of 9.75 GHz. All of the programmes set up are listed in the table enclosed.

If your satellite receiving system uses a feed system with a different oscillator fre- quency, the receiver only needs to be matched to the feed system oscillator fre- quency during the installation.

The procedure for this can be found in section: “Initial settings, Oscillator fre- quency“.

Note on programme memory locations

The receiver has a 250 channel memory that can be assigned with TV or radio programmes in any given manner.

The receiver has been factory pre-programmed according to the programme table with:

150 TV programmes and

100 radio programmes.

Programme memory is organised here so that the TV programmes are located in programme slots from 1 upwards while the radio programmes are located in pro- grammes slots from 250 downwards. See also the following display:

Since only one sound programme (TV accompanying sound or a radio programme) can be stored in a programme memory, with the factory presetting:

on reception of TV programmes in programme slots 151 to 250 the original TV sound is not sent but instead the programmed radio sound

in “radio mode“

on reception of radio programmes from programme slots 101 to 250 the sound of the corresponding TV programme is sent..

The assignment of the programme slots can be changed as desired.
