About these instructions

LNB The LNB (Low Noise Block Converter) is located at the focal point of a satel-

lite antenna. The LNB converts the satellite frequencies into lower frequencies

which can be processed by a satellite receiver.

NTFS NTFS (New Technology File System) is a proprietary Microsoft le system.

Satellite

antenna

Within this document, satellite antenna means a parabolic antenna (parabolic

reector, "satellite dish"). Exceptions are marked.

S/PDIF S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) is a digital interface for electrical

or optical transmission of digital audio signals such as Dolby Digital AC-3.

Transponder see Transponder frequency

Transponder

frequency

A transponder is a frequency converter within the satellite, which broadcasts the

TV and radio signals to earth at a specic transponder frequency. Each satellite

has several transponders.

Analogue transponders broadcast only one TV channel and possibly several

radio channels on a single transponder frequency.

Digital transponders broadcast several TV channels and possibly several radio

channels on a single transponder frequency.

UTC UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated) is the coordinated world time based on the

London Greenwich zero meridian. Central European Time (CET) corresponds to

UTC+1:00. In summer the time used is Central European Summer Time (CEST)

which corresponds to UTC+2:00.

4.3 Installation

Tip

● Gather information about the characteristics of your satellite system before you

change the settings in the Installation menu. If required, call in the specialist

who installed your system.

● Information on the reception parameters of individual channels can be found for

instance at www.lyngsat.com.

4.3.1 Antenna Settings

▷

Live TV/Radio ▶ MENU ▶ Installation ▶ Antenna Settings (Fig. 10)

Satellite ① (Fig. 10)

Satellite for which the parameters are to be set.

Tip

● The signal from the satellite must be present at

the receiver's tuner input.

● The antenna parameters listed below can be

set up individually for each satellite. This allows

reception from several different satellites.

Transponder ②

(Any) transponder, for which the signal strength and quality

shown in ⑧ can be checked.

LNB type ③

Type of LNB installed in ⑥ and ⑦.

Tip

The other antenna settings depend on the type of

LNB installed. The types of LNB are listed individu-

ally below, with their respective antenna settings.

DiSEqC1.0 ⑥

LNB which receives the signal from the satellite listed in ①.

More about this in the tip below.

The items BurstA and BurstB are relevant only for older

systems.

DiSEqC1.1 ⑦

Matrix/multi-switch to which the LNB listed under DiSEqC1.0 is

connected. More about this in the tip below.

Tip

For DiSEqC1.0 and DiSEqC1.1 perform the following settings:

Reception of up to 4 satellites (system type DiSEqC 1.0)

DiSEqC1.0: Set the LNB to receive the set satellites under

① (Fig. 10, P. 19).

DiSEqC1.1: Set None.

Reception of up to 64 satellites (system type DiSEqC 1.1)

DiSEqC1.0: Set the LNB to receive the set satellites under ① (Fig. 10).

DiSEqC1.1: Set the LNB (matrix / multi-switch)

to which the LNB set under

DiSEqC1.0 is connected.

The table shows examples of the settings for the reception of 10 satellites

A DiSEqC 1.1 system is a combination of DiSEqC1.0 and DiSEqC1.1 settings which

allows a maximum of 64 LNBs to be addressed. This is done by the value of DiSEqC1.1

addressing the matrix / the multi-switch to which the LNB set under DiSEqC1.0 is

connected. The value LNB1 stands for matrix 1 / multi-switch 1, LNB2 for matrix 2 /

multi-switch 2, and so on.
