FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Line 1 through 4 on the antenna satel- lite selection menu
Select one of the alternatives ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR when you have a single LNB directed towards any of these sat- ellites.
Pressing OK from the selected alternative will display the “An- tenna adjustment” menu (shown to the right) on the screen.
For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to 4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu. When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the selected channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select
a channel with the | buttons.) |
Antenna adjustment and signal check
•Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have a high value on the Signal strength (AGC) *) indicator (the red bar at the top of the menu) and on the Signal quality (SNR) *) indicator (the red, yellow and green bar at the top of the menu).
If you do not get a picture, you may have tuned in an analogue signal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is positioned towards wrong satellite.
The reason could also be that the marked channel is not trans- mitting at the moment. If so, try one of the other preprogrammed
channels with the | buttons. |
When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Media- master automatically starts searching for and downloads chan- nels from the satellite. Please refer to page 23.
(If you have a good indication in the signal quality menu, but no picture from any of the channel alternatives, try proceeding with the channel search anyway by pressing OK.)
*) About Signal strength (AGC) and Signal quality (SNR)
The different signal indicators at the top of the menu provide in- formation about two things:
AGC: The AGC, shown with a red bar, will indicate the aver- age strength of any incoming signal, digital as well as analogue.
SNR: The SNR, shown with a red, yellow and green bar, will indicate the signal quality for the selected prepro- grammed channel.
