INSTALLATION OF A FIXED DISH ON A SATELLITE
Read the installations advices, and particulary the paragraph E (page 5).
Connections
The receiver must be disconnected from the mains, connect directly the LNB to the LNB
input of the receiver. Connect the television to the receiver scart socket output. Switch on
the television and connect the receiver to the mains. The green LED light is on, then the
flickers with the red LED, then only the red LED remains on. Press the
button. If the
television does not display a black screen with a message " BAD OR NO SIGNAL ", check
the scart leads connections and/or force the A/V or EXT mode of your television (see your
TV user manual).
Alignment / satellite dish orientation
Find in Table 1 (page 5) channel number of the reference channel of the satellite that you
wish to receive (example: 001 = BBC ONE for Astra 28°). Type on the remote control the
channel number.
Press on the remote control INFO key to show the reception level at the bottom of the
screen. This indicator shows normally 0%; the alignment will consist in directing the satel-
lite dish toward the satellite, leading to a maximum level.
Put the satellite dish in a vertical position (the graduations on the back indicate 20-25°)
and roughly direct it towards the south. Make a slow sweeping (about 20 seconds) of a
quarter of a spin on the left then a quarter of a spin on the right while checking on the tele-
vision. The indicator should not show anything at this stage.
Beware, it may be useful to search for the south with a compass. However, never use
a compass to find the supposed location of a satellite. For instance, you may guess
that Astra 28° is located 28° left from south. It's false! Just sweep the dish as explai-
ned, this method works better.
Incline the satellite dish of 2 degrees (a little less than 1 inch at the top of the dish) towards
the top and then start again the sweeping.
Proceed by 2 degrees step until the indicator goes up and that the channel appears.
Tighten all the screws definitively, except those which fixing the LNB in its holder. If the
indicator increases, but no images appear on the screen, it means you are on another
satellite, it is necessary to continue sweeping.
Adjustment of the polarisation
Rotate the LNB clockwise in its holder for a few degrees to further increase the level of
signal. If the signal decreases, rotate it in the opposite way.
Once you obtain the best signal, tighten definitively all the screws. Your installation is fini-
shed. Press on EXIT to hide the information banner. You can now watch all the satellite
channels from the satellite you just aligned your satellite dish on.
