Reading the operation instructions
Chapters 4 and 5 explain how to connect and adapt the receiver to the outdoor unit (reflector, LNB, etc.), the TV set, etc. This set-up is required only once; you only need to make amendments in case the outdoor unit installation has changed or additional equipment has Been connected, e.g. decoder.
Chapter 6 describes all functions necessary for every-day use, such as channel selection or volume control.
Chapter 7 will give you information on how you set up new channels and satellites or how you change the channel sort order.
Chapter 8 lists all the pre-programmed channels.
Important notes on device control
Using a so-called „On Screen Display“ simplifies receiver control and reduces the number of keys on the remote control.All features are displayed on the TV monitor and can be controlled by little key action.
Related features have been collected to a „MENU“.
A „POINTER“ marks the function you can activate at a time.
Example:
The last menu line always displays the „function keys“. Use these to:
- move the pointer,
- start a function,
- change values,
- store changes, and
- to quit the menus.
Press the MENU key to change the background of some menus from coloured display to normal TV screen.

5.4 Satellite scan
The description of the scan feature assumes the following:
a) The antenna trajectory has been duly adjusted. b) You have set up the right outdoor unit (see 5.3, „Outdoor unit“). c) You have mounted the linear/circular polarizer (part no. 2206 or
2207) according to the instructions.
d) You know the westernmost and the easternmost satellites
through antenna orientation.
e) The actuator’s limit sensors have been adjusted such that the

5.5 Automatic satellite scan
The automatic satellite scan feature only works from West to East. The following explanation assumes that the reflector has been oriented towards the westernmost satellite (Hispasat 1 at 30° West in our example) after having set up the East and West limits (see 5.4).
Satellites which are located beyond the East and West limits can not be selected by the automatic satellite scan. For this, you may need to extend the trajectory limits (see 5.4).
First of all, select the type of motor you Are using: A for PFA reflectors with actuator, or B for offset reflectors with H/H mount.
> Press to set pointer to „Decoder/OSD“.
> Press .
> Press to set
pointer to „motor type“.

> Press to set
pointer to „satellite“.
> Press to switch
over to the next satellite West (Intelsat 601 at 27.5° West in our example).
> Press to turn off
background.
> Briefly press .
The antenna moves West to search for channels on the selected satellite. Once the receiver has found a satellite, it stops to find the best peak position (auto-focus).
> Press to set pointer to „Programm“ (channel).
> Press to select and check if the receiver has found the desired satellite.
Warning: Not all satellite channels have permanent broadcasts. Also, the frequency mapping may vary from time to
time. Check the most recent publications, such as the „Infosat“ magazine which is issued monthly.
When the desired satellite has been found:
> Press to set pointer to „Gesp. Position“ (stored position).
> Press to store.
> Scan and store additional satellites east of the previous one, and follow the instructions above.

If the desired satellite has not been found:
> Press to set pointer to „Suche starten“ (start scan).
> Press to start again.
If, due to bad receive conditions, a satellite cannot be found using the automatic scan feature, you can search and store it manually (see 5.4), and proceed with the automatic scanning afterwards.
If you also use LNB input 2,you can assign it to a stored satellite.
> Press to set pointer to „LNB-Eingang“.
> Press to select.
The „optimise skew“ feature is identical to the one described in chapter 5.4.
You can activate the automatic selection of the best receive position (auto-focus) manually, as well:
> Press to set pointer to „Autofokus“ (auto-focus).
> Press to turn on.
For a description of how to select satellites which are not part of the pre-programmation, refer to chapter 7.8, „Setting up new satellites“.
5.6 Correcting all satellite positions
If none of your stored satellite positions is peaked properly, you may need to correct the current antenna position.
Use this option with extra care since it may shift the satellites to incorrect positions.
> Display the installation menu (see p. 8).
> Set pointer to satellite scan
> Call feature with OK.
> Press to set

> Press .
> Press to confirm the message „Sure?“
> Press to return without saving.
The stored position is finally used as the current antenna position.
If possible you should use a satellite with a poor receive quality to correct the positions of all satellites since this will be the most exact satellite to correct.
