Buttons and their Functions on the Receiver

General

As already stated, the receiver has been preprogrammed at the factory for the main programmes from the most impor- tant satellites.

If you wish a different programme order or intend to correct adjustments, this can easily be done by means of the buttons on the front of the receiver and, in certain cases, with the but- tons on the remote control handset. However, this should only be done after having carried out the basic adjustment of the polarmount aerial.

Attention!

The buttons on the front of the receiver, except the

¢</ > and ¢RADIO buttons, are electronically locked to prevent that the receiver programming be changed by inadvertent operation of the buttons (for example, when wiping off dust).

To clear the electronic lock, press on any of the locked buttons for more than 3 seconds. When switching the unit off or to standby, the electronic lock is activated again.

MODE

Certain functions can be called up by pressing these but- tons once or several times.

￿Preset functions can be modified with these buttons.

￿X Settings and corrections made are stored in memory by pressing the ¢MEMORY button.

When switching the receiver on with the power switch ´R, it switches automatically to the last selected programme positi- on (Last Station Memory).

The desired programme positions are selected by means of the ¢</ > buttons on the receiver or the programme select buttons ] or numeric buttons on the remote control handset.

The display indicates the number of the selected programme position and the associated station name. If the new station belongs to a different satellite, the aerial will be positioned to this satellite and the new satellite position is briefly indicated in the display.

To switch the receiver on from standby, press one of the pro- gramme select buttons ] or of the numeric buttons on the remote control handset, or of the ¢</ > buttons on the receiver. In this case too, the last selected programme positi- on will be selected again (Last Station Memory).

¢P/F – Selecting Programme/Frequency

Ku-Band reception (10700 to 13000 MHz)

Use the ¢P/F button to switch between programme posi- tion mode and frequency entry mode.

The display indicates the programme positions 1 to 199 or, in frequency entry mode, 10700 to 13000 MHz. Real reception, however, is only possible in the frequency range for which the used LNC has been designed. In this mode, direct frequency entry with the numeric buttons of the remote control handset is possible.

Pressing and holding down the ¢> button will change the frequency in steps of 10 MHz in upward direction, and hol- ding down the ¢< button in steps of 3 MHz in downward direction.

This allows you to scan the entire frequency range at high speed in forward direction, and at lower speed in reverse direction.

With single step tuning, the frequency is changed in steps of 0.5MHz, which corresponds to the finetuning function.

Particularities when receiving S- and C-band satellites (2.5 ... 4 GHz)

For receiving the 2.5 … 4 GHz frequency bands, special aeri- als and LNC´s are necessary.

For receiving stations on these frequency bands with your unit, you must observe the following:

The value 10000 MHz must generally be entered in the instal- lation menu as local oscillator frequency for the LNC, not the actual value of the LNC.

When adjusting the frequency for the programme position concerned (¢P/F button), do not enter the transmission fre- quency of the satellite, but the output frequency of the LNC (first intermediate frequency = IF 1).

You can calculate the IF 1 by subtracting the transmission frequency of the satellite from the actual local oscillator fre- quency.

E.g.

Local oscillator frequency:

5100 MHz

Satellite transmission frequency: – 3900 MHz

= Result (IF 1):

= 1200 MHz

To enter this value, first press the "0" button. The display indi- cates:

TIMER o p ü +

I99 X1____Mz STEREO

SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII

In this case (S- and C-band reception), the first figure "1" has no physical meaning. Then, enter the value for the IF 1. For a three-digit value, an additional "0" must be entered at the first position.
