2.1.7 Motorised antenna (DiSEqC rotating antenna)
If you wish to connect the receiver to a rotating antenna (DiSEqC Level 1.2), call up the menu “Outdoor
settings”, then go to the entry “LNB type” and use the left/right directional keys to select the setting
“Motorised” for every LNB number, which has to be controlled by the motor. Use the yellow function key
and press the green key to call up the next page, where you will find a facility for setting the position of
the antenna manually for the various satellite positions, and can then store these positions in memory. In
the window “Motor settings”, select from the displayed list the satellite you want to reach with the next
antenna position. The receiver at this stage has already registered which transponders are available on
this satellite, and will indicate the signal strength and signal quality in the form of a bar graph.
You can use this to find the optimum position for the antenna.
In order to rotate the antenna towards the East or West, go to the category “Settings”, then use the
directional keys to select either “Move coarse” or “Move fine”. When the satellite position has been found,
select “Save position” in order to store this permanently.
From now on
, the receiver will automatically turn
the antenna to this position whenever you tune to a programme slot available from this position.
Apart from storing all required satellite positions, you should also make a point of programming an easterly
and a westerly limit position for the motor. This is particularly important if other buildings or structures in
the vicinity restrict the rotation of the antenna. These could damage the antenna, motor or surrounding
objects if the limit of rotation is not restricted by pre-programming.

2.1.8 Channel Search
New digital satellite TV and radio programmes are added almost on a daily basis, or existing programmes
change their frequency. If you wish to receive these programmes, you must allocate them to specific
programme slots in the programme list, and store them in memory. The programme search function is
designed to assist you in this activity, and there are various types of programme search available.
Several procedures can be followed in order to initiate a programme search. Press the “Menu” key to call
up the Main Menu, then using the directional keys select the sub-menu “Installation Setup”, followed by
“Channel Search”, confirming your selection in each case by pressing the “OK/Menu” key. Here you can
decide between the two options available, as described below.
In order to rotate the antenna towards the East or West, go to the category “Settings”, then use the
directional keys to select either “Move coarse” or “Move fine”. When the satellite position has been found,
select “Save position” in order to store this permanently. In future, the receiver will automatically turn the
antenna to this position whenever you tune to a programme slot available from this position. Apart from
storing all required satellite positions, you should also make a point of programming an easterly and a
westerly limit position for the motor. This is particularly important if other buildings or structures in the
vicinity restrict the rotation of the antenna. These could damage the antenna, motor or surrounding objects
if the limit of rotation is not restricted by pre-programming.
2.1.8.1 Satellite Search
Use the automatic programme search to allow your receiver to search through an entire satellite range
for new programmes. In this case, the entire frequency range of the satellite is searched. The following
information must be configured:
Satellite:
First select the satellite position to be searched. Below this you will see a display of the current
signal strength.
Search mode:
Here you can select between “Complete” or “Quick Scan”.
You can now initiate the automatic programme search by pressing the red function key.
All newly found programmes will now be displayed one after the other on the following page. This can take
a couple of minutes. At the end, the result of the programme search will be displayed. You can then decide
whether you want to store the newly found programmes in memory, or whether you wish to discard them.
The search procedure can be terminated at any time by pressing the “Exit” key. The response may
not be immediate.
