PROGRAMMING A NEW CHANNEL

Your receiver is already programmed to receive the most important satellite signals. You can, however, change the programming or add new channels at any time.

To store a new channel in memory, you need the following information (found in specialist satellite TV magazines):

1.

LNB selection

3.

Video frequency

 

and ToneBurst signal

4.

Audio mode

2.

Polarisation

5.

Audio frequency

First, select the programme number you wish to assign to the new channel, and then follow the instructions.

1. Selection of LNB and of ToneBurst signal

You can connect 2 LNBs to your receiver (e.g. ASTRA and EUTELSAT II-F1 satellites). Connect the LNBs respectively to connectors d and e (IF INPUT A/B). In addition, your receiver can supply ToneBurst (DiSEqC) control signals. This function allows connecting 4 LNBs to your receiver. The LNBs must be connected in 2s to each of the IF INPUTs d and e, through a ToneBurst switch.

Press the LNB key to display the current mode, e.g. LnA1. Press the key again to select the further mode.

To allow transmission of the greatest possible number of programmes, satellite broadcasts come in two polarisations (vertical and horizontal).

Press the V/H key to display the current polarisation, e.g. : " V". Press the key again to select the other polarisation.

Display : " V" = vertical (14 V)

Display : " H" = horizontal (18 V)

3. Video Frequency Adjustment

Press the VIDEO key to display the frequency in MHz, e.g. : «1406».

The value displayed on your receiver is not the frequency of the channel; it corresponds to the difference between the channel frequency and the local oscillator frequency of your LNB.

You can enter the desired frequency directly (4 digits) via the 0-9 numeric keypad, or change the displayed value in steps of 1 MHz using the VOL + and VOL - keys.

Values outside the 700-2150 MHz band are not accepted.
