Digital Satellite Receiver
_______________________________________________________
Signal Strength meter
You can select this function by pressing Menu key and then go to “Installation” and select
“Satellite Channel Search” from its submenu and press OK.
The displayed bar on the left indicates signal strength. The number next to C/N refers to the
dB value.
The three coloured blocks right of the bar inform about the status of the different levels of recep-
tion. Only when these three fields are green, valid data is obtained from the signal.
Please note: Signal strength depends not only on the performance of your satellite installation but
also on the signal quality of an active channel. This should be borne in mind when your antenna
is adjusted by means of the indicated signal strength.
Scrambling
The CI model of the receiver is equipped on its back with two slots allowing for the insertion of
two Conditional Access Modules (CAMs) needed for decoding of scrambled signals by means of
smart cards introduced into the modules.
When a scrambled programme is selected, the receiver detects if CAM and smart cards are pres-
ent in at least one of the two slots. If they are, the programme will be decoded.
In the Installation menu the sub menu Encryption informs about the status of Conditional Access
Module and Smart card.
