6.4.1 Switching DiSEqC on and off

DiSEqC (Digital Satelliten Equipment Control) is a digital switching/controlling signal used to control DiSEqC-compati- ble components via the antenna cable. If your external unit is equipped with DiSEqC components, you must switch the DiSEqC controlling function on:

>In this line, use the arrow keys left/right to switch

DiSEqC on or off.

As only one LNB can be controlled when the DiSEqC function is switched off, the menu is limited to the con- figuration of a single LNB.

6.4.2 Antenna signals

Your receiver is equipped with two tuners. This allows you to record one programme while viewing another programme. So that you can enjoy the full benefit of the functions of your twin receiver for both recording and playback, you should definite- ly use two separate antenna connections (antenna signals).

Please also note Point 8.1.

>In this line, use the arrow keys left/right to set the number of antenna signals to 2, if you are connec- ting your receiver to two separate antenna connec- tions.

If only one antenna connection is available, then set this item to 1. This means that while you are recording a programme, you will only be able to view other pro- grammes being broadcast on the same receiving band as the programme being recorded.

6.4.3 Setting the switching matrix

The menu lists the four switching criteria for the DiSEqC con- trol. You receiver is pre-programmed so that ASTRA is recei- ved on switch setting A/A and Eutelsat is received on setting B/A of a multi-switch. If the switching matrix of your receiving installation is set up differently, or if you are receiving diffe- rent satellites, you can adjust the settings of your digital receiver to those of the receiving installation as follows.

>Use the arrow keys to select a DiSEqC switch posi- tion (1-4) to which you wish to allocate a satellite (e.g. A/B 3 No satellite), and mark this line.
