N.B.:
Please note that, when the parental control is activated, the
«Favourite list»
,
«Channel pool»
and
«Search mode»
menus can only be accessed by entering
the five-digit PIN.
This is to prevent overriding the parental control function, e.g. by deleting the
marking or adjusting the blocked channels via the transponder search mode
(... the block also cannot be overridden using the timer).
N.B.:
To deactivate the parental control temporarily, e.g. in the evening, you can switch
the {Security} input field to
OFF
in the «Parental control» menu.
The
«?»
marking is not cancelled in this mode and appears again when the
parental control function is reactivated, i.e. when the {Security} input field is
switched to
ON
again.
4.2 SEARCH MODE
4.2.1 Satellite search mode
Satellite search mode is performed for all frequencies on the selected satellite. Select the desired
settings in the menu sequence.
Selecting the individual parameters is performed after activating using the
OK
key and then
using the
*
or
+
key.
We recommend launching the search mode occasionally in order to detect new channels. For
this purpose use the basic settings shown in {
bold
}.
If you wish to search for one single channel individually, you can shorten the search mode
duration by restricting certain known parameters, e.g. {Low} and {22}.
(1)
the desired satellite
{
ASTRA
}
>
{Hotbird} >
{Sat 3} >
to {Sat 8}
(2)
the band
{
Low/High
}
>
{Low} >
{High}
(3)
the symbol rate
{
22+27.5
}
>
{22}
>
{27.5}
>
{FREE}
(4)
or a free symbol rate {
XXXX
}
(only possible if the symbol rate under point (3) has been changed to {FREE})
(5)
and then start the search mode using the
OK
key
and select whether the search is to be for non-encrypted or encrypted channels or
both simultaneously: select: «FREE» or «CA» or «FREE+CA».
N.B.:
Some of the encrypted channels can also be received free or free at certain times.
4.2.2 Transponder search mode
All channels of a transponder are searched for in transponder search mode.
(1)
Satellite
(2)
Frequency
(3)
Polarisation
(4)
Symbol rate
If the parameters (satellite, frequency, polarisation, symbol rate) of the channel being searched
for are known, transponder search mode can then be used.
If, for example, a new channel belonging to a known channel group is launched, it is sufficient to
set a channel from this channel group initially via channel selection - the relevant parameters are
transferred to the transponder search mode.
If the message «
No signal!
» appears in the «START» line, reception is not possible. Please
check the parameters satellite, frequency, polarisation and symbol rate once again.
Search mode can be started if the «
Signal!
» message appears.
(5)
Start search mode using the
OK
key.
Encrypted channels are denoted by the «
$
» symbol. Channels that you do not wish to transfer to
the channel pool can be deleted individually using the
TV
key.
New channels are marked by «
+
». Transfer to the channel pool can be done by pressing the
OK
key.
4.2.3 Manual input
(for advanced users)
If neither the satellite nor the transponder search mode detects the desired channel, all relevant
reception parameters can be set in «Manual input» mode. Manual input is very useful e.g. if the
reception data of the desired channel are known, but it only transmits at certain times.
