4.2 SEARCH MODE

4.2.1 Satellite search mode

Satellite search mode is performed for all frequencies on the selected satellite. Select the desired settings in the menu sequence.

Selecting the individual parameters is performed after activating using the OK key and then using the B or C key.

We recommend launching the search mode occasionally in order to detect new channels. For this purpose use the basic settings shown in {bold}.

If you wish to search for one single channel individually, you can shorten the search mode duration by restricting certain known parameters, e.g. {Low} and {22}.

(1)	the desired satellite	{ASTRA}	>	{Hotbird}	>	{Sat 3}	>	to {Sat 8}
(2)	the band	{Low/High}	>	{Low}	>	{High}
(3)	the symbol rate	{22+27.5}	>	{22}	>	{27.5}	>	{FREE}

(4)or a free symbol rate {XXXX}

(only possible if the symbol rate under point (3) has been changed to {FREE})

(5)and then start the search mode using the OK key

and select whether the search is to be for non-encrypted or encrypted channels or both simultaneously: select: «FREE» or «CA» or «FREE+CA».

N.B.: Some of the encrypted channels can also be received free or free at certain times.

Exception: The encrypted ORF channels are located under ‘FREE’!

4.2.2 Transponder search mode

All channels of a transponder are searched for in transponder search mode.

(1)Satellite

(2)Frequency

(3)Polarisation

(4)Symbol rate

If the parameters (satellite, frequency, polarisation, symbol rate) of the channel being searched for are known, transponder search mode can then be used.

If, for example, a new channel belonging to a known channel group is launched, it is sufficient to set a channel from this channel group initially via channel selection - the relevant parameters are transferred to the transponder search mode.

If the message « No signal!» appears in the «START» line, reception is not possible. Please check the parameters satellite, frequency, polarisation and symbol rate once again. Search mode can be started if the « Signal!» message appears.

(5)Start search mode using the OK key.

Encrypted channels are denoted by the « $» symbol. Channels that you do not wish to transfer to the channel pool can be deleted individually using the TV key.

New channels are marked by « +». Transfer to the channel pool can be done by pressing the OK key.

4.2.3Manual input (for advanced users)

If neither the satellite nor the transponder search mode detects the desired channel, all relevant reception parameters can be set in «Manual input» mode. Manual input is very useful e.g. if the reception data of the desired channel are known, but it only transmits at certain times.
