During the initial start of the 8600 HRS CI appears on the TV screen, the setting - Installation menu. This menu contains the following options:

  1. OSD language
  2. Time Zone
  3. Single Satellite search
  4. Multi-satellite search

Use the arrow keys UP and DOWN to move between menu items. If the menu item is highlighted, press the OK button to activate the

option. The various options change the navigation keys UP and DOWN. The menus you can leave the BACK button.

The menu includes the option for the OSD language.

Time Zone

Select the time zone. Please use the value +01:00 Germany.

Before you start with the settings, you should be aware of the satellite system installed in the clear. There are a number of different options.

1. Single connection of dish and receiver

The satellite dish is aligned to a special satellite and you use one LNB. Each LNB is directly connected to the satellite receiver.

After choosing the satellite make sure that only following parameters are defined:

Satellite: ASTRA 19.2

LNB Type: Universal

LNB Frequency 09750/10600

Transponder: e.g. 11303/22000/H

22KHz: AUTO

LNB voltage: On

DiSEqC: None

Satellite

Here you can choose the satellite which you want.

LNB Type

Here you can define the LNB type. To receive digital DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals, please uses the setting Universal.

LNB Frequency

This option is usually associated with the selected LNB type and varies depending on the LNB type. If the LNB type Universal has been selected, then the corresponding frequency 9750/10600.

Transponder

This option is usually associated with the selected LNB type. Normally not changes are necessary, only by manual searching.

22 kHz

By using the 22 kHz signal combined with a universal LNB it is possible to receive the whole ASTRA-satellite system (analogue & digital) with a single 60cm satellite dish. For receiving digital TV and radio only a Set-Top-Box is needed.

The digital TV programs are all arranged in the higher frequency band -> use the option AUTO

LNB Power

The LNB for digital programs is usually supplied with 13 and 18V. The option is automatically 13/18V. The voltage can be changed manually. This directly influences the search results. Possible options are: OFF, 13V, 18V and 13/18V. If the option OFF is activated the LNB is not supplied with power any more which inflicts that no programs can be received any more.

DiSEqC mode

Here you can select the DiSEqC and tone-burst modes. With a single connection that is switched off.

Press the BLUE button to start scanning.

It now appears another query where you can specify additional search parameters. These are individual with the options:

Polarization Both, horizontal, ve Channel Type All, unscrambled Search Mode Auto, Blind, Manually

Polarization

Otherwise, the search is only one of two orientations. You can not then find all the channels

Polarisation Both Network Search Off Channel Type All Scan Type Auto Scan Press enter to start

Recommendation: Use the option both!

Channel Type

Here you can specify whether you want to receive from the search will only unencrypted channels or all (including Pay TV) channels. If you want a subscription card in the 8600 HRS CI, then you should select all the settings.

Recommendation: Use the all option!

Search method

In the search mode you can choose between AUTO, Blind and Manual.

  • For AUTO, the device has stored for each satellite, a transponder list and is searching at this list.
    • Blind allows a search for all frequencies, regardless of the stored transponder list.
  • Manually examined solely by the listed transponders.

Recommendation: Use the AUTO!

Notes:

  1. In general, the search with the default option is sufficient. However, there are always changes to the transponder list. If any programs are not found, then go to the option blank.
  2. With the 8600 HRS CI it is not possible to look at encrypted channels, you use for the "better" table in the station list, select only free channels.

7. Single Cable Distribution—Unicable

Single Cable Distribution is a satellite TV technology that enables the delivery of broadcast programming to multiple users over a single coaxial cable, and eliminates the numerous cables required to support consumer electronics devices such as twin-tuner Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and high end receivers. Without single cable distribution, providing full spectrum access for multiple receivers, or receivers with multiple tuners, in a single family home has required a separate coaxial cable feeding each tuner from the antenna equipment (either multiple LNBs, a multi-output LNB or a multiswitch distribution system) because of the large bandwidth requirement of the signals. A European industry standard for distributing satellite signals over a single coaxial cable - CENELEC EN50494 - has been developed by a consortium led by SES Astra. Unicable uses an integrated software and hardware solution that allows Unicable-certified Digital Video Recorders and receivers to multiplex selected programming when using Unicable LNB or multi-switching products.

Unicable LNB

Special LNBs have been developed for use in single cable distribution systems. The LNB further includes a mixer to combine the user bands together and a microcontroller to receive the instructions as to which frequency is required by each user and control the SCR chips.

  1. Change the option in LNB type to "UNICABLE".
  2. The menu expanded and now you can find the two new settings "IF Freq." and "Sat Position". Select the option "IF Freq." with the DOWN arrow key.
