1.1 Safety Instructions

DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:

•In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other equipment; on a

surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:

•To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense moisture; to

intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage to your receiver or to any

magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.

•Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not touch a power

cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.

•When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power cord from

the wall socket.

•Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If you wish, you may clean

your receiver with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution, and only

after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through the

ventilation slots because this could cause fire or an electric shock.

•Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper cooling of the

components inside.

Safety Precautions

•Never try to open the receiver. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver due to high

voltages and possible electrical hazards. Opening the receiver will void the warranty of the

product. Refer all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualified personnel.

•When you are connecting cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the mains supply

voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching off the receiver before you move the receiver or

disconnect any equipment.

•It is a necessity that you only use an approved extension and compatible wiring that is suitable

for the electrical power consumption of the installed equipment. Please ensure that the electrical

power supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical identification plate at the back of the

receiver.

If the receiver does not operate normally even after strictly following the instructions in this user

manual, it is recommended to consult your dealer.

1.2 Storage

Your receiver and its accessories are stored and delivered in a packaging designed to protect against

mechanical shocks and moisture. When unpacking it, make sure that all the parts are included and

keep the packaging away from children. When transporting the receiver from one place to another

or if you are returning it under warranty conditions, make sure to repack the receiver in its original

packaging with its accessories. Failing to comply with such packaging procedures could damage the

product and void your warranty.

7.3.1.1 Dish setup

Use p/q to highlight the satellite your dish is aimed at. Its antenna settings will be shown at the

right side. You can enter the right side with the tu buttons and return to the satellite list with .

7.3.1.2 Configure the antenna settings for the selected satellite

LNB Type: Press tu or OK to show the list of LNB Types. The Universal LNB

(09750/10600 MHz) is supported – the most used on the market. SatCR A

and SatCR B are used for SatCR systems. If only 1 SatCR LNB is connected,

use SatCR A. SatCR systems are mainly installed by professional experts. An

optional satellite splitter is required for multi-users.

LNB Power: Use tu to set the LNB power. 13/18V is the setting for a Universal LNB.

22KHz: Use tu to switch the 22KHz oscillator signal on or off. Auto is the setting for

a Universal LNB.

DiSEqC1.0: To select the correct port from up to 4 (if available) for the corresponding

LNB.

MAIN MENU

DiSEqC1.1: To select the correct port from up to 16 (if available) for the corresponding

LNB.

Motor: If using a motor driven dish, press tu to choose between DiSEqC1.2 and

DiSEqC 1.3 depending on the motor type you use.

DiSEqC 1.2

DiSEqC 1.2 is a protocol for motor-driven dishes, the dish/motor-combination itself needs to be

aligned due South (North for Southern hemisphere) at its reference position at 0°. It is possible to

manually search and store every satellite individually.

Refer to the manual of your motor-drive for more detailed information. Modern motor drives have

usually also the capability of the enhanced DiSEqC 1.3 protocol, which would be preferred, since it

can find satellite positions automatically, relative to a geographical location.

Move the motor to the right position for locking the signal like explained below. Press OK to enter

the submenu.

Move Continue: Press tu for moving West/East. Press the opposite tu to stop moving.

Move Step(1): Press tu for moving West/East in 0.3° step.

Store Position: To store the current motor position for selected satellite. If your dish is

physically obstructed to the East or West (example by a wall), you can limit its

moving range by pressing the RED button to Set Limit.

Use:

Move Continue: Press tu for moving West/East. Press the opposite tu to stop moving.

Move Step(1): Press tu for moving West/East in 0.3° step. Check if you are still well clear

of the obstruction. Then select Set East or West Limit, according to the

direction, and press OK twice to store. Repeat if there is also an obstruction

to the opposite direction. Moving outside the range of your dish will thus be

prevented. Both limits can be disabled with Disable Limit.

DiSEqC 1.3

DiSEqC 1.3 (also known as GotoX) is an automated system for finding satellites with a motor driven

dish. It is an enhancement of the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol, where it was still needed to manually search

and store every satellite individually. With DiSEqC 1.3 every satellite position is automatically

calculated for a defined geographical location on earth. Only this location is needed to be entered

and stored in to the box, in conjunction with a DiSEqC 1.3 capable motor drive, all (pre-installed)

satellites can easily be found. The dish/motor-combination itself needs to be aligned due South

(North for Southern hemisphere) at its reference position at 0°. Refer to the manual of your motor-

drive for more detailed information.

Select DiSEqC 1.3 with the tu buttons. Press the GREEN button to setup your location coordinates.

A pop-up window will appear, in which the following settings can be made:

Location: Longitude Direction: Choose East or West.

Longitude Angle: Use the 0 ~ 9 buttons to enter the coordinate.

Latitude Direction: Choose North or South.

Latitude Angle: Use the 0 ~ 9 buttons to enter the coordinate.

When all settings have been made, press  to save the data and leave the window.

Note: The location setting only needs to be entered once, and is valid for all satellites.

If needed, the motor can physically be brought to its 0° reference position, to

align the dish South (or North for Southern hemisphere) first.

MAIN MENU

P17

Press OK to enter the GotoX menu.

Select Goto Reference to move the dish to the reference position of 0°. Press OK twice to move.

If your dish is physically obstructed to the East or West (example by a wall), you can limit its moving

range by pressing the RED button to Set Limit to prevent it hitting the obstruction.

Use:

Move Continue: Press tu for moving West/East. Press the opposite tu to stop moving.

Move Step(1): Press tu for moving West/East in 0.3° step. Check if you are still well clear

of the obstruction. Then select Set East or West Limit, according to the

direction, and press OK twice to store. Repeat if there is also an obstruction

to the opposite direction. When accidentally selecting satellites from the list

which are out of range by your dish, it will not run in to the obstruction. Both

limits can be disabled with Disable Limit.

7.3.1.3 Channel Scan
