About Polarisation Setting
The LNB of the turntable is factory-set to the polarisation setting
0
. In this position you can still receive signals from
satellites with deviations of 15° to 20°
1)
. For larger deviations it is best to set the required polarisation angle by rotating
the LNB.
We expressly draw attention to the fact that positioning the satellite antenna at a deviation of up to +45°
or up to -45° from the centre position makes sense only if a satellite to the far west or the far east is actu-
ally preferred for reception.
The respective setting angle required for the polarisation can be found in the following table.
