Initial settings

	In the initial setup menu, matching of the satellite receiver to the satellite receiving
	system is carried out.
Important	The receiver has already been factory pre-programmed for standard satellite re-
	ceiving systems.
	Alterations to the initial setting are therefore necessary only if your receiving sys-
	tem deviates from this type of installation or if you happen to want different set-
	tings.
	The settings in the initial setup menu are generally carried out by the specialist
	dealer on installation of the satellite receiving system.
	To prevent any unintentional alterations in the initial settings, the initial setup menu
	can be invoked only from the switched-off state.
