DiSEqC

Up to 16 inputs can be switched with the “DiSEqC“ control signal.

∙If the receiver is connected up to a “DiSEqC" switch-over matrix, the menu entry must be set to “On” .

Note

For optimal usage it is essential to know the switching criteria and the input as-

 

signments of the DiSEqC switching matrices.

 

Thus take into account the specifications of the DiSEqC switching matrices or get

 

in touch with the installer of the receiving system.

DiSEqC repeat

If the receiver is operated on a receiving system with two or more DiSEqC switch- ing matrices connected in series (cascaded), the DiSEqC command must be re- peated.

∙ In this case set the menu entry “DiSEqC Repeat" to “1" or “2“. Default: Off

UFO mini

 

With a “subscriber-controlled preprocessing system" the receiver‘s input frequency

 

is adjusted to a fixed input frequency. The signals are transmitted by the “sub-

 

scriber-controlled preprocessing system“ on this frequency. The reception pa-

 

rameters for the programme selection are transmitted by “DiSEqC“ command

 

to the receiving system and set up there.

 

Which setting needs to be selected "On" or “Twin“ is dependent on the design of

 

the “subscriber-controlled preprocessing system“.

 

The “UFO Twin“ design is a special form of the “subscriber-controlled preprocess-

 

ing system“

Note

The setting is therefore to be made according to information in the “subscriber-

 

controlled preprocessing system“ installation guide.

Remote frequency

 

If you have set "On" or “Twin“ in menu entry UFO mini, make the setting in this

 

menu entry for the transmission frequency.

 

The particular transmission frequency that needs to be set for tuner A “TV“ and

 

tuner B “VCR“, in the range 0 to 2150 MHz, is given in the “subscriber-controlled

 

preprocessing system“ installation guide.

Note

It is therefore essential to note the installation guide instructions of the “subscriber-

 

controlled preprocessing system“.
