bars should display a GREEN bar which denotes the following:  
The first bar shows the actual satellite SIGNAL strength  
You should see a GREEN bar showing your satellite signal is medium to good. If it is RED, this  
normally indicates that either your dish/LNB set-up is not adequate for this satellite, or your dish is  
not correctly aligned.  
The second bar shows the quality of the DATA received  
This GREEN bar indicates the DATA INTEGRITY of the signal received. If the bar is RED, this  
indicates that the DATA received is unreliable. This could cause the picture to break up, or  
disappear completely.  
Note: IfNo signal foundis displayed, check that the values entered are correct and are valid for  
the satellite your dish is installed for. (Please also refer to the Advanced Users” and “ Trouble

Selecting different audio channels:  
In digital satellite broadcasts, multiple audio languages can be simultaneously transmitted by the  
programme provider.  
Default audio setting:  
The user can first select a default audio language via thePreferences” menu for the receiver. Once  
the default audio language has been stored, all newly found TV/Radio channels will then be stored  
with the selected default audio language.  
Multi-Channel Audio:  
The broadcasters may transmit more than one language for any channel. By pressing the LANG” key  
on the handset, the user can quickly find out what other languages are available for that channel. If the  
left side column of the Audio Control menu shows a selection of different languages, the user can  
select and store a new default language for that channel only - for that channel the receiver will always  
return to the newly stored default language.  
Sometimes two different languages are broadcasted with one language on the Left Audio Channel  
(L) and a different language on the Right Audio Channel (R). When this is available, the Audio  
Channelcolumn of the Audio Control” menu will display the available audio channels and the user  
can then select either channel L or R for the desired language. Otherwise the default L+R setting  
would have the two languages“ mixedtogether and they will be heard at the same time.  
From this menu, the left column indicates the  
Language  
Audio Channel  
default languages available and the right column  
indicates the available audio sub-channels. The  
User may then move the cursor to the L or R sub-  
channel and listen to decide whether the required  
language is available.

Notes:  
The left column is the default language setting and this option is storable. If the user changes the  
default language to another language, any new programmes which do not support the new default  
language may become silent. When this happens, the receiver will display the Missing Audio icon on  
the Information Banner, you can press the LANG key to select a different default language.  
Missing Audio icon  
Many broadcasters transmit multiple languages and programmes on a number of audio sub-channels.  
With this menu the user can listen to any of the sub-channels by moving the cursor to highlight them  
when available. The L and R audio sub-channels can vary from programme to programme so this is  
not stored and will revert to L+R (Stereo) when you change channel.

Tuning Modes:  
Auto Tuning  
From the select frequencies, the receiver will automatically search for all other frequencies within the  
tuning range and downloads them automatically into the receiver. Once the channels have been  
downloaded, all the TV and Radio channels will be displayed separately allowing the user to inspect  
them and decide whether they are to be stored or aborted. This option is not available in Manual tuning  
mode (F1).  
Network and Bouquet Tuning  
Within a digital broadcast transmission, many other network frequencies are provided to guide the  
receiver to tune to other Networks. Network tuning enables the receiver to download other channels  
from the same network. Use Bouquet tuning you only want to download channels from one channel  
frequency group. Bouquet Tuning is used when only the channels from the desired frequency are to be  
downloaded.

Symbol Rate, Polarity and FEC value), the broadcaster  
must include additional information (known as Packet

After selecting from the Preset List, or Manually entering the basic channel parameters (Frequency,  
Symbol Rate, Polarity and FEC value), move the cursor to highlight the Manual button and press OK to  
start tuning.  
Edit the Channel details by following the steps below:-  
1. Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT keys, to move the cursor from one field to another.  
2. Use the LEFT/RIGHT, F1 and F2 keys to enter the channel name.  
3. Select the channel type whether it is a TV channel or a Radio channel.  
4. Decide whether you would like to enter the PIDs in decimal or hexadecimal form.  
5. Use the F1/ F2 and 0-9 keys to enter the PID values.  
6. When you have finished and are ready to store and display that channel, press OK.  
Note:  
In order for manual tuning to be successful, the PCR PID must be entered. In many cases the PCR  
PID is not published. Fortunately, in nearly all cases the PCR is the same as the Video PID or the  
Audio PID or 8190 in decimal or 1FFE in hexadecimal.  
The Teletext PID is optional and can be ignored when the value is unknown.

This toggles the LNB power supply on and off. This option should be set to ON. With the LNB power  
switched off, all control signals for LNB, switches and DiSEqC will also be disabled.  
LNB A1 to D4:  
Up to sixteen universal LNBs can beconntected to your digital receiver. For each LNB (A1 to D4) you  
may specify the type and control method of the LNB.  
L.O. Freq:  
Enter the Local Oscillator Frequency in MHz of your LNB here. For LNBs with two L.O. frequencies,  
enter the Low Band L.O. frequency in the Low column and the High Band L.O. frequency in the High  
Column. (e.g. For a Universal LNB, the Low Band L.O. frequency is 9750 MHz and the High Band L.O.  
Frequency is 10600 MHz).  
Tone:  
Your digital receiver is equipped with switch controls 12V, 22kHz tone, as well as DiSEqC 1.0  
DiSEqC:  
With the DiSEqC options switched on you can select between LNBs from A to D.  
Note:  
You may use these controls independently to select different LNBs, and in addition you can use either  
in conjunction with DiSEqC switchs to increase the number of LNBs used. Up to maximum of sixteen  
LNBs can be used.  
Note: Universal LNBs uses 22kHz to switch between Low Band and High Band and therefore the  
22kHz control column is automatically disabled when Univ is selected in the LNB column.
