display equipment, in order to compensate for this delay. The delay time depends on which choice appears
to provide best performance of lip sync on your display device.

6.6.3 Outdoor Settings
The receiver must be fed with information as to how many
satellite positions can be received by the satellite antenna
(the number of LNBs), and which switching signals are available
to control the individual components of the installation, such as
the LNBs or the multi switches.
6.6.3.1 Satellite
Here you should select from a list of all European satellite
positions, the current position at which the LNB being
configured is the one currently showed (e.g. Astra1, Hotbird
or another satellite).
6.6.3.2 LNB Type
The default setting here is “Universal”. If you are using a different type of LNB, use left/right key to select
the appropriate type of LNB. You can choose here a motorized LNB, and this will give access to the Motor
Settings menu.
6.6.3.3 LOF Low
The receiver needs to know precisely the two local oscillator frequencies (LOF) in the LNB (Standard:
Universal LNB with 9,75/10,6 GHz). Depending on the type of LNB selected, LOW frequencies may already
be suggested at this stage. These can, however, be changed as requited. You can also enter any specific
value you require.
6.6.3.4 LOF High
The receiver needs to know precisely the two local oscillator frequencies (LOF) in the LNB (Standard:
Universal LNB with 9,75/10,6 GHz). Depending on the type of LNB selected, frequencies may already be
suggested at this stage. You can also enter any specific value you require.
6.6.3.5 Band Switching
Here you can specify whether the receiver is to switch between the low and high bands by means of
a 22KHz switching signal (Standard for Universal LNB: “Auto”), or whether the signal should be transmitted
continuously or not at all.
6.6.3.6 Primary DiSEqC
The receiver automatically selects your first choice as the Primary DiSEqC.
6.6.3.7 Secondary DiSEqC
If your first choice is not available, the second choice is automatically selected. If the second choice is
not available, the receiver will use the original DisEqC of the program.

6.6.3.8 Motor Settings
If you wish to connect the receiver to a rotating antenna (DiSEqC Level 1.2), call up the Main Menu, then
pressing Installation / Setup, then pressing “ Outdoor Settings”, then go to entry “ LNB Type” and use the
/ directional keys to select the setting “Motorized” for every LNB number, which has to be controlled by
the motor. Where you will find a facility for setting the position of the antenna manually for the various
satellite positions, and can then store these positions in memory. In the window “ Motor settings”, select
from the displayed list the satellite you want to reach with the next antenna position. The receiver at this
stage has already registered which transponders are available on this satellite, and will indicate the signal
strength and quality in the form of a bar graph. You can use this to find the optimum for the antenna.
In order to rotate the antenna towards the East or West, use the directional keys to select either “Move
coarse” or “More fine”. When the satellite position has been found, select “Save Position” in order to store
this permanently. In future, the receiver will automatically turn the antenna to this position whenever you
tune to a programmed slot available from this position.
Apart from storing all required satellite positions, you should also make a point of programming an easterly
and a westerly limit position for the motor. This is particularly important if other buildings or structures in
the vicinity restrict the rotation of the antenna. These could damage the antenna, motor or surrounding
objects if pre-programming does not restrict the limit of rotation.
6.6.4 Channel Search
C M Y CM MY CY CMY K
New digital satellite TV and radio program are added almost on a
day daily basis, or existing program will change their frequency.
If you wish to receive these programs, you must allocate them to
specific program slots in the program list, and store them in memory.
The program search function is designed to assist you in this
activity, and there are various types of program search available.
Several procedures can be followed in order to initiate a program
search. Press the “Menu” key to call up the Main Menu, then using
the / directional keys select the sub-menu “Installation / Setup”,
followed by “Channel Search”, confirming your selection in each
case by pressing the “OK” key. Here you can decide between the
three options.
6.6.4.1 Quick Search
Use the automatic program search to allow your receiver to search
through an entire satellite position for new program. In this case,
the entire frequency range of the satellite is searched. The following
information must be input to the receiver:
Satellite: First select the satellite position to be searched. Below
this you will see a display of the current signal strength.
All newly found program would now be displayed on the following
page. At the end, the result of the program search will be displayed.
The search procedure can be terminated at any time by pressing
the “EXIT” key.

6.6.4.2 Advanced Search
In addition to the automatic search, a manual search procedure
is also available. In this case you must search specifically for the
program on a specific satellite transponder. Unlike the automatic
search procedure, here you must enter all reception parameters
explicitly.
The technical reception parameters that must be entered in this
display can be obtained either from satellite magazines, or from
the relevant program provider.
The following information must be input:
Satellite: First select the satellite position to be searched. Below this you will see a display of the current
signal strength.
Frequency: Here you must enter the five-digit transponder frequency, e.g. 11836 for 11.836GHz.
Polarity: Here you must enter the polarization plane of the transponder (“Horizontal” or “Vertical”).
Symbol rate: Either select one of the two usual rates commonly found on the Astra and Eutelsat satellites,
22.000 as well as 27.500 symbols/s, or enter a specific value manually. The receiver is equipped to process
symbol rates between 2.000 and 45.000 symbols/s.
Scan Filter: There are three choices:
FTA: Only search free-to-air programs.
FTA+Irdeto: Search free-to-air plus Irdeto scrambled programs
All: Search all kinds of programs, including other CA systems.
PID Video: Packet identifier for the video signal
PID Audio: Packet identifier for the audio signal
PID PCR: Program Clock Reference
Now press the red function key to initiate the manual program search. All program broadcasting within the
framework of specified parameters will be displayed, one after the other, on the following page. You can
then decide whether you want to store the newly found program in memory, or whether you wish to discard
them. The search procedure can be terminated at any time by pressing the “EXIT” key.

6.6.4.3 Preprogrammed List
The receiver automatically selects your country name. The subdisplay “ Do you want to reinitialise the program list? “, Please
pressing the “ OK” key, then will be initialising the program. Please
wait about 15 seconds.
6.6.5 Time / Date Settings
Time/Date settings: If the ”Automatic Time Update” is set to “On”,
the receive will receive the digital clock time and date as broadcast
by the digital TV programmed providers. The DVB standard will
broadcast this in GMT time zone. In order to display local time
correctly, It may be necessary to set a time offset, indicating the
difference between local time and GMT (e.g. in Germany daylight
savings time in summer is +2h, winter time is +1h)
Clock mode: The time can be displayed in 12 or 24-hour format.
Automatic Time Update: The receiver can either receive the
Current time via the digital TV programmers (On),
Or it can calculate current time independently (Off).
