DiSEqC setting

The precondition for this setting is that you have made no changes in the DiSEqC (UFO) set-up, refer to the section "DiSEqC (UFO) Set-up".

When you are in the LNB configuration menu (see above), press the ￿￿ buttons to move the coloured bar to the "HotBird" position, press the ￿or ￿button

and by pressing ￿confirm that you wish to add a satellite. The transponder data are now stored and a tick appears after "HotBird" to confirm the setting. You can now set the DiSEqC signal. It serves the purpose of switching between the two

aligned satellites. Press the ￿￿buttons to go to the DiSEqC-1 setting.

Set #1 for ASTRA and #2 for HotBird. Both positions are already pre-programmed. You can pre-program up to four satellites (16 settings: 4x H and V as well as 4x High and Low).

Press the ￿button 4 times to exit the menu. At the same time, the receiver will confirm that the set parameters have been saved. If a setting is incorrect, you will see the following message on the screen:

Bad or no signal

With cascaded switches, a total of 16 satellite positions can be stored under DiS- EqC 2. With H/V as well as High/Low this results in a total of 256 settings. You should have a specialist carry out these settings and set-up such a system.

Antenna settings

This menu is intended solely for service purposes and, if need be, i.e. if no measuring instrument is available, it can be used to align the antenna (satellite dish).

The satellite can be defined in the first line and the transponder in the second.

The polarisation of the received signal and the transmitted symbol rate are shown in the next line.

The bar displays provide an indication of the strength (relative level) of the signal and its quality. However, no conclusions relating to the quality of the antenna sys- tem or of the cable connection can be derived from this signal.

Satellite search

In the satellite scan menu you can instruct the receiver to search for channels on the

satellite. Use the ￿or ￿button to select the required satellite. Start the search by

pressing ￿.

If you wish to set your system to a com- pletely new satellite, you will need to enter manually at least one known transponder in order to start the search (see Section

"TP set-up/scan"). You can obtain the necessary information from the correspond- ing TV and satellite magazines or Internet pages.
