Introduction
This STB is fully compliant with the international DVB standard and thus transmits digital images, sounds, information
guides and teletext directly to your TV through the satellite
broadcasting.
Now you can comfortably see and receive digitally transmitted music, news, movie and sports satellite broadcasts in your

Note
If the LNB Frequency is set to Universal LNB
(9750/10600, 9750/10700 or 9750/10750), it is not
possible to set 22 kHz because high or low band is
selected by 22 kHz.
The STB is designed to be DiSEqC 1.1 compatible. This allows
multiple antennas to be connected to the STB at the same time.
If you are using two or more fixed antennas or LNBs, then it
is recommended to use a DiSEqC 1.1 switch.
If you use a DiSEqC 1.1 switch only, it is possible to connect
up to 4 antennas. Set the DiSEqC 1.0 to Disable and select an
item in DiSEqC1.1.
If you use a DiSEqC1.1 switch and DiSEqC1.0 switches, it is
possible to connect up to 16 antennas. Connect the DiSEqC1.1
switch to the LNB input and connect the DiSEqC1.0 switches
to the DiSEqC1.1 switch.
Set the DiSEqC1.1 item and DiSEqC1.0 item according to the
antenna configuration. For example, set DiSEqC1.1 to 2 of 4
and DiSEqC1.0 to 3 of 4 to select A7.
