SEARCH CHANNELS (CHANNEL SEARCH)
The
buttons allow you to select different sets of parameters for the scan.
Satellite
Use the
buttons to select the satellite on which the transponder you wish to scan is located.
Make sure your reception system is aligned to the selected satellite. You can scan only one transponder
at a time. If you wish to scan several transponders on a satellite, you should start an automatic scan
of the transmitting satellite.
Press the
button to move to the next selection item.
Transponder Frequency
Select the transponder to be scanned, using the
buttons or the numeric keypad. At the bottom
right of the screen display, the receiver shows the current signal strength and signal quality of the selected
transponder. Press the
button to move to the next selection item.
Channel Search Mode
Use the
buttons to select whether you wish to scan “only free and scrambled”, “only free” or

To view scrambled channels you need the appropriate CA (Conditional Access) module and a valid

Network Search
Use the
buttons (On/Off) to select whether a network search should be performed. If you set the
network search to “Off”, only the factory stored transponders of the satellites you previously selected will be
scanned for new as yet unlisted channels.
If you set the network search to “On”, the transponder network enables additional transponders that
have not yet been stored to be located. They are then stored and scanned for new channels in the same
way as the existing transponders.
When you have made your settings, use the
buttons to select “Start Search” and press the
button
to start the search. You can cancel the search at any time by pressing the
button.

so far. Newly found channels are identifi ed with the designation “new” after the channel name.
