Contents You have purchased a quality receiver from the SKYMASTER® range. Our products are continuously subjected to rigorous quality inspections to ensure your enjoyment. Welcome to the new age of digital television! [. . . ] You should only select further settings if the installation instructions tell you expressly to do so. Log in as "User", if you have to enter LNB frequencies manually. 2. 1. 3 22 kHz The 22 kHz signal is used to switch the digital LNB (out = low-band, 22 kHz = high-band). If you have selected "Digital" as the LNB type, switching occurs automatically. If you do not have a commercially available LNB, you have to adjust the settings manually at this point. 2. 1. 4 DiSEqC DiSEqC allows you to receive several satellites. If you have two LNBs, for example, that are aimed at two different satellites (ASTRA and HOTBIRD), you should use a DiSEqC switch. Choose the 1/2 setting for ASTRA and 2/2 for HOTBIRD. You can control 2, 4, 8 or 16 port switches and DiSEqC capable multiple switches. Note: on some DiSEqC switches the connections are marked with letters (A, B, C, D. . . ) instead of numbers. However, the sequence is the same. GB 12 7. The OSD menu ­ reception 2. 1. 5 Polarisation Satellite signals are transmitted with horizontal or vertical polarity. You should always choose the H/V setting, which allows for reception at both levels. In very exceptional situations it may be necessary to choose only horizontal OR vertical reception, e. g. in large-scale residential systems or to receive unusual satellites. 2. 2 Automatic search To automatically search for all available transponders of a satellite position. 2. 2. 1 Satellite Choose a preconfigured satellite from the list. You also have the options of renaming the satellite (button [1]), adding a new satellite (button [2]) or deleting a satellite position (button [3]). 2. 2. 2 Search mode Decide whether you want to save only the free to air or the encrypted channels as well. 2. 2. 3 Channel search Decide whether you want to search for TV and/or radio stations. GB 13 7. The OSD menu ­ reception 2. 3 TP search To search for a single transponder. This search method is useful if you only want to save a specific channel or a specific channel package. You can obtain the reception parameters (frequencies, etc. ) on the net or from TV and specialist magazines. 2. 3. 1 Satellite Choose a preconfigured satellite from the list. Quit the list by pressing [MENU]. 2. 3. 2 TP index Displays the current transponder index number. The figure after the slash displays the satellite's total number of transponders. To add a new transponder press [1], to delete the current transponder press [2]. [. . . ] If you use an ordinary digital LNB, the lower and upper frequencies have to be 9750 MHz and 10600 MHz respectively. To trace an error you should connect the LNB directly to the receiver and first remove the switch and splitter. The unit displays incorrect broadcasting times in the EPG or the incorrect time: after the receiver is switched on the data has to be read and evaluated. Depending on the transponder this process may take some time. [. . . ]
