- The first TV program will be shown on the screen after loading the pre programmed list. If there is no TV program to be seen, please check the cable connection, Antenna Set up and carry out the channel scanning.

- If you have chosen not to take the pre installed list, there appears a "Dish Setup" menu on the screen.

For the case there appears no "Installation Guide" menu after connection and power on, please read the page 35 to reset the device.

Dish Setup-preparation

Preparation:

You will have to be informed of following points to make a successful channel scanning.

• Towards which satellite does your antenna orient?
• If you have more than one antenna or one antenna with more than one LNB, you will have to know which type of switch (Toneburst or DISEqC) is employed and to which port is each Antenna LNB connected.
• For a Unicable/SCR EN50494, you will have to know which IF-Channel is available and its corresponding Frequency.

Please ask the installer, if any of the parameter is not known. If you live in a rental house or apartment, please ask the renter.

Example for Germany:

The most satellite antennas orient satellite ASTRA 19.2° and have a “universal” or “Digital” LNB. We recommend the pre installed list in the case.

If you would not like to use the pre-programmed list, the common setup for ASTRA 19.2° is as following:

Satellite: 019.2E Astra 1H.

LNB Type: 09750/10600

LNB voltage: 13/18V

22KHz: AUTO

Toneburst: None

DiSEqC 1.0/1.1: None

Motor: None

Dish Setup-Procedure

On the left side of the screen there is a list of satellites for which the DVB Receiver is preprogrammed. Settings of the chosen satellite is displayed on the right side.

Process:

• Select the first satellite to be set up with CH+/CH
• Press the OK button. The chosen satellite is marked with a hook, confirming this satellite will be considered in the coming channel scan.
• Press the button VOL+ to access to right side.
• Select the option with CH+/- and change the parameter with VOL+/-
• Press Menu after defining all parameters for this satellite to get back to the left side.
• If your satellite system can receive signals from a number of satellites, select a further satellite with CH + / - . Press OK and define the parameter on the right side.
• Repeat this procedure for all satellites available for your receiver.

Notes:

- After a correct setting, an approximate value of the signal quality will be shown on the lower part of the menu.

- If a satellite is missing on the list, press the RED button. A dialogue winter appears, input the value for longitude, East/West and frequency, and choose "Blind Scan" in the coming channel scan. If you add a satellite to the list, there will be no display of the signal quality for this satellite, in spite of correct setting. Signal quality could only be displayed for satellites with pre installed transponder lists.

- Press GOTO to display the Transponder of the chosen satellite. Add new transponder with the RED button and mark the transponder for channel scan with OK.

Dish Setup-explanation of the parameters

LNB Typ: define the oscillator frequency for your LNB. Please take the correct value from the manual of your LNB (standard:09750/10600)

If you have a Unicalbe/SCR EN50494, select LNB type Unicable (A or B, A is generally the correct choice by a Unicable system for satellite reception). Choose a free channel (IF channel) and the corresponding frequency. Please refer to the manual of your Unicable system. Ask your renter for the free channel, if the connection is provided in the rental house.

LNB Voltage: This parameter defines the voltage of the antenna, this voltage decides signal from horizontal or vertical polarized transponder will be received. The setting will only have to be changed in very rare cases. A false setting will result in missing program or no signal reception at all. (standard:13/18V)

22KHz: The receiver can switch the LNB with 22 KHz signals for the reception of another frequency band. The setting will only have to be changed in very rare cases. A false setting will result in missing program or no signal reception at all. (standard: Auto)

Toneburst: Tone burst switcher has two input ports, enabling the connection of 2 antennas or LNB to the receiver. If you have a Tone burst switcher, you will have to select one of the both connections (A or B) for the satellite chosen on the left side.

DiSEqC: DiSEqC switcher has up to 16 input ports enabling the connection of multiple antennas or LNB to the receiver. If you have a DiSEqC switcher, you will have to select one of connections for the satellite chosen on the left side. Please check which version (1.0, 1.1) could be supported in the manual of your switcher.

Motor: Rotatable Antennas require extended configurations. We recommend professional installation from a technician. Please set up according to your antenna. You can open further set up windows with the RED and the GREEN button.

After the set up has been done for all reachable satellites, please press the BLUE button to open the menu for channel scan.

Channel Search

There appears a window showing "Channel Search" upon pressing the BLUE button on the menu of the Satellite Setting.

On this Window you can make three entries to affect the scan result.

Search Mode:

• Standard: The receiver scans channels according to a pre-programmed list. This search process goes quickly but without being able to find programs on new transponders.
• Blind search: The receiver scans every possible frequency. It takes a little bit more time than standard scan. However it is possible to find programs from unknown transponders.
• Network: The receiver scans channels according to a pre-programmed list. The frequency of a new transponder could be found out through analysis of the known transponders. The scan process is shorter than “blind scan”, but there might be possibly missing programs.

Please employ "Blind Scan". It takes a little bit longer, but will result in a complete program list. If you have added a new satellite on the menu of Satellite Setting, please employ "Blind scan", for there is no transponder list available for the newly added satellite. There is no "Blind scan" option in case of UniCable system.

Encrypted:

• All programs: both free and encrypted programs (Pay TV) will be added to the program list during the channel scan.
• FTA (free): The channel scan saves only free programs.

The XORO DVB Receiver can not decrypt Pay-TV programs. Please select "FTA" (free programs), so that you will get a shorter program list and save some time in sorting the programs.

Service Type:

• All: The channel scan saves both TV and Radio programs.
• DTV: The channel scan saves only TV programs.
• Radio: The channel scan saves only Radio program.

Press the OK button to start the Channel scan.

After the channel scan is completed, live picture of the first found channel will be shown on the screen.
