Satellite frequencies, Polarity/Orbital Position

Selecting TV Programs

Satellite frequencies

The 5 digit frequencies in the range 10700 to 12747 MHz. may be entered by using

the number buttons . With these buttons you may tune the re- ceiving frequency correctly using 1 MHz. steps (recommended when the picture signal is weak and fading.)

Polarity/Orbital Position

In both of the following menus you may select the required LNB feed-voltage and the 22 kHz switching-signal (which is over-ridden by the LNB feed-voltage).

Polarity

The ”Polarity” menu allows you to select the correct voltage level (14/18V), the po- larity and the 22 kHz. switching signal for the frequency range. (see table).

Frequency range	Polarity	LNB voltage	22 kHz switching	Settings
			signal
10.7-11.7 GHz	vertical	14 V	Off	Vert. Low
	horizontal	18 V	Off	Hor. Low

Orbital Position

The ”Orbital Position” menu allows you to select the 22 kHz switching-signal thus enabling you to change between two (or more) satellites for multi-feed reception systems (see following table).

	Satellite	Orbital position	22 kHz switching signal

	Astra 19,2° East	1	Off
	Eutelsat 13° East	2	On
	Eutelsat 10° East	3	Off
	Eutelsat 16° East	4	On
	In the ”Basic Setting-Up” menu (sub-menu ” DiSEqC”) there is an explanation of
	which menu-option requires the 22 kHZ switching-signal. (Polarity or Orbital posi-
	tion).
Important	The Astra-satellites only use digital signals in the upper frequency ranges (High -
	band). Correspondingly a special receiver (DVB-Receiver; d-Box) is required.
	Conventional (analog) signals are used in the lower frequency ranges (Low-band).
	This is standard with the Eutelsat-programs.
	∙ Select the required polarity, this is always either Vert. Low or Hor. Low.

Due to tests made during the manufactures pre-installation will you find (upon de- livery) in the Basic Setting-Up menu ”DiSEqC” menu-column ”22 kHz Signal” the entry ”Pos. A/B” selected.

The selections Vert. High and Hor. High are not to be used.

Video-hub

The satellites transmit their signals using different video-hubs, 16 or 25 MHz.

Which one to select is dependant on the screen brightness.

∙ Select the video-hub that gives the best screen brightness.

Oscillator

The receiver has 4 LO frequency groups available (LO 1 - LO 4), whose selection ensures a problem free change over to different feeder-systems with other oscilla- tor frequencies (i.e. Telecom 1A).

When delivered from the manufacturer all 4 oscillator frequencies are set to 9.75 GHz (9750 MHz)
