4.3 advanced Satellite Settings
LNB Type:
Select
Universal
for most standard LNBs or

if you have a Unicable SatCR
LNB or multiswitch.
Satellite:
Use this option to select the satellite for which you would like to set the position.
Use the
coloUR bUTTonS
on the remote control, as shown at the bottom of
the screen, to delete or add a satellite from the satellite list and set their individual
settings.
LOF Low and High Band:
The LOF (Local Oscillator Frequency) of the LNB is usually printed on the LNB itself
or in its documentation. You can set the High and Low LOF frequencies to match
the LNB here.
Band switching:
The receiver uses a 22 kHz signal to control the band of the LNB. If you do not
know if your LNB supports this feature, set the option to
Auto
.
DiSEqC type and DiSEqC input:
You can connect up to two cascadable DiSEqC switches to the receiver. This
option allows you to set the type and input port for each switch.
Reference transponder:
This option allows you to set which transponder is used as the reference for the
satellite signal strength.
Transponder number:
Use this option to select a transponder from the built-in transponder list. Once
selected from the list, the
Frequency, Polarity and Symbol rate
fields will be updated
accordingly. Alternatively you can set these fields manually.

Tuner IF and Channel ID
(SatCR only):
This option allows you to select the SatCR Tuner IF frequency (also known as User
Band frequency) and the channel ID for the receiver. In a typical SatCR installation,
you are able to connect multiple receivers to a single LNB or Multiswitch output,
with each receiver set to connect to a different SatCR user band and channel ID.
Signal strength and signal quality bars
:
In two level bar meters, on the right side of the screen, the user can see the
strength and quality of the signal coming from the antenna dish to the tuners.
These two meters can be used while doing a fine-tuning of the antenna position.
The antenna has to be adjusted to have maximum possible signal strength and
signal quality.
