Satellite and reception settings
In the “Reception” menu you can adjust the receiver to your satellite system, search for new channels
and add or delete satellites.
• LNB setup: For adjusting the receiver to the satellite system. The LNB is located in the focal point
of the antenna reflector. In order to utilise all the functions of your receiver, you require a digital
LNB!
• Satellite settings: Add or delete satellites, search run
• Transponder setup: Process the transponder of a satellite position, search for individual
transponders
• DiSEqC 1.2: For setting a motorised rotating system.
• USALS: Motorised rotating system with automatic position evaluation.
LNB setup
You can configure up to 8 LNB presettings. If you receive ASTRA (LNB 1) and/or HOTBIRD (LNB 2),
only change the preset values if this is expressly specified in the installation instructions of the
satellite system!
• LNB: Selection LNB 1 - LNB 8.
• LNB type: Select the setting “Digital”. Only use the setting “Others” if this is expressly specified in
the installation instructions of the satellite system!
• Upper/Lower frequency: The values are fixed for a digital LNB. If you do not have a digital LNB,
select the setting “Others” and enter the values from the documentation or the sticker of your
LNB in the fields.
• For the reception of two satellite positions (ASTRA and HOTBIRD) you require a 2-way DiSEqC
switch. For the reception of further positions, e.g. TÜRKSAT, you require a 4-way switch. The
connections of the DiSEqC switch are marked accordingly (1 - 4 or A, B, C, D). If you own a
motorised rotating system, select the system type (DiSEqC 1.2 or USALS).
Satellite settings
In this menu you can add further satellite positions, delete positions and carry out various search run
functions. In the lower part you can monitor the signal strength and quality.
• Satellite: Use the VOL buttons to select the desired satellite position. Note: Before you add a
satellite (button [ 1 ]), please adjust the following settings!
• Transponder: Each satellite has a number of transponders. Each transponder has at least one
channel, usually there are 4 - 10 TV channels and radio stations. If the signal bars are inactive,
select another transponder. If this does not make a difference, check the following settings, the
alignment of the antenna and the antenna cable.
• LNB: LNB 1 should be stated at this position for ASTRA, LNB 2 for HOTBIRD. For further satellite
positions please select LNB 3, LNB 4, etc.
• Search type: There are three different search options. “FTA” searches for all FTA channels.
“FTA + coded“ searches for all channels - even coded PAY-TV channels. Coded channels can
only be viewed with a special decoder. All the channels are easily found via the “Network search“.
ASTRA and HOTBIRD transmit an overview which lists all the channels and transponders. The
receiver can read this overview. Note: Not all satellite operators provide this service!
• Position: Displays the current number of the satellite position.
• Movement: For rotating the system to the satellite position.
You can select the following options via button [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ] or [ 4 ]:
1 Add satellite: Select the desired satellite via the VOL buttons. Note: If the satellite has already
been saved, you cannot select the option.
2 Delete satellite: All the channels of the selected position are deleted!
3 Search/Extend: All the saved channels remain, new channels are added to the channel list.
4 Search/Replace: All existing channels are deleted and replaced by the found channels.
