2 - Installation of a fi xed dish on a satellite
Read the installation advices, and particulary the paragraph E (page 9).
A - 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 lights on. The red
LED is ON. Press the power key (
) of the remote control, the greenLED lights on. 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).
B - Alignment / Satellite dish orientation
Find in Table 1 (page 9) channel number of the
reference channel of the satellite that you wish to
receive (example: 1381 = 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. This indicator shows normally 0%;
the alignment will consist in directing the satellite
dish toward the satellite, leading to a maximum
level and quality.
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 explained,
this method works better.
Put the satellite dish in a vertical position (the graduations on the back show 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 television. The indicator should not show anything
at this stage.
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 steps 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.
