Installation menu
You should not change the following settings without good reason as they repre-
sent factory settings or operational settings that are adapted to your receiving sys-
tem.
New settings are only required when changes or expansions are made to the re-
ception system.
The main menu consists of the following submenus:
Select the "Installation" menu with the menu button
M, the ou buttons in
the main menu and
O. If set, you must also enter the password. Select the menu
points with the
ou buttons.
LNB configuration
The first submenu is the "LNB configuration". Press O to open this menu. Nor-
mally, you should not make any changes
in this submenu. Before making any
changes, however, you should make a
note of the settings in the form provided at
the end of this User's Guide.
Your receiver is set at the factory to the
satellites of the ASTRA and HotBird sys-
tems.
The other basic settings are shown in the
illustration above.
Oscillator frequency L.O.
Satellite receiver systems consist of the parabolic antenna (satellite dish) with the
actual receiving system mounted in front of it (LNB – Low Noise Block Converter or
LNC - Low Noise Converter) which converts the RF signals of the satellite to a
lower frequency so it can be processed by a satellite receiver.
The satellite transmission frequencies are within the following ranges:
10,7…11,7 GHz Low-band ( Low-band / analogue transmission)
11,7…12,75 GHz High-band (High-band / digital transmission) (valid
for ASTRA satellites at 19,2° E)
The reception frequency of the receiver, however, is in the range from 950 to 2150
MHz. The high frequencies are therefore stepped down with the aid of the oscillator
frequency (LO frequency / LO = Local Oscillator of the LNB) to a lower frequency.
Various oscillator frequencies are used for this purpose depending on the satellite
frequency range and the type of system.
For ASTRA and Eutelsat receiver systems, this frequency is normally 9.75 GHz
(9750 MHz) for the lower frequency range (low-band) and 10.6 GHz (10600 MHz)
for the upper frequency (high-band). Older receiver systems still operate in the low-
band range with a 10 GHz oscillator frequency.
The receiver generates its required frequency by subtracting the oscillator fre-
quency from the satellite transmission frequency stored for each channel. You only
need to set the oscillator frequencies that your receiver system actually uses.
Therefore, before changing the LO frequency make sure that this is at all neces-
sary.
The oscillator frequencies shown at the top of the picture are factory settings.
