1. If you wish to only tune to a specific Network or Bouquet of channels, move the cursor to highlight
the “Bouquet ” box and use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to scroll through the pre-stored Bouquets. You
should now see both signal meters reading a good signal level and the receiver will prompt you to

Provided your dish is installed correctly and aligned to the relevant satellite, both the Signal and Data
bars should display a GREEN bar which denotes the following:
The first bar shows the actual satellite SIGNAL strength
You should see a GREEN bar showing your satellite signal is medium to good. If it is RED, this
normally indicates that either your dish/LNB set-up is not adequate for this satellite, or your dish is
not correctly aligned.
The second bar shows the quality of the DATA received
This GREEN bar indicates the DATA INTEGRITY of the signal received. If the bar is RED, this
indicates that the DATA received is unreliable. This could cause the picture to break up, or
disappear completely.
Note: If “No signal found” is displayed, check that the values entered are correct and are valid for
the satellite your dish is installed for. (Please also refer to the “Advanced Users” and “Trouble
Shooting ” section to check that your LNB settings are correct).

Selecting different audio channels:
Language Audio Channel
eng

L+R
In digital satellite broadcasts, multiple audio languages can be simultaneously transmitted by the
programme provider.
Default audio setting:
The user can first select a default audio language via the “Preferences” menu for the receiver. Once
the default audio language has been stored, all newly found TV/Radio channels will then be stored
with the selected default audio language.
Multi-Channel Audio:
The broadcasters may transmit more than one language for any channel. By pressing the “LANG ” key
on the handset, the user can quickly find out what other languages are available for that channel. If the
left side column of the Audio Control menu shows a selection of different languages, the user can
select and store a new default language for that channel only - for that channel the receiver will always
return to the newly stored default language.
Sometimes two different languages are broadcasted with one language on the Left Audio Channel
(L) and a different language on the Right Audio Channel (R). When this is available, the “Audio
Channel ” column of the “Audio Control” menu will display the available audio channels and the user
can then select either channel L or R for the desired language. Otherwise the default L+R setting
would have the two languages “mixed” together and they will be heard at the same time.
From this menu, the left column indicates the
default languages available and the right column
indicates the available audio sub-channels. The
User may then move the cursor to the L or R subchannel and listen to decide whether the required
language is available.
Notes:
fra
dan
R
The left column is the default language setting and this option is storable. If the user changes the
default language to another language, any new programmes which do not support the new default
language may become silent. When this happens, the receiver will display the Missing Audio icon on
the Information Banner, you can press the LANG key to select a different default language.
Many broadcasters transmit multiple languages and programmes on a number of audio sub-channels.
With this menu the user can listen to any of the sub-channels by moving the cursor to highlight them
when available. The L and R audio sub-channels can vary from programme to programme so this is
not stored and will revert to L+R (Stereo) when you change channel.
