Polarisation
Use the OK key to enter the appropriate polarisation plane (horizontal or vertical) on which
the selected programme is broadcast.
Symbol rate
The symbol rate is an indication of the volume of data being transmitted per second. A typi-
cal rate might be 27000, indicating that 27000 symbols per second are being transmitted.
Use the numeric key pad to enter the appropriate symbol rate.
FEC Rate
The FEC function adjusts error correction to the requirements of the selected transponder.
Use the OK key to enter the appropriate FEC. This can be 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 6/7 or 7/8.
If the FEC rate is not known, use the Auto setting.
Signal
This line will indicate the signal strength, provided the details of the transponder have been
entered correctly.

5.4.4 Increasing LNB voltage
In order to cope with greater cable length between the external unit and your receiver, it may
be necessary to increase the LNB output voltage by 1 V:
> Use the OK key to select either on or off for the voltage increase of 1 V.
6 Operation
6.1 Switching on and off
> Use the key On/standby on the receiver or on the remote control to switch the
receiver on.
> Pressing the same key on the receiver or on the remote control again will switch the
receiver off again.
> The receiver is now in standby mode, the display on the receiver will now show the
time.
If the time is not shown, this must still be acquired by the receiver. In Germany, it is
sufficient to switch the receiver on, and to select Channel 1 (ARD) of the public servi-
ce broadcast system for the time to be acquired automatically.
In order to disconnect the equipment entirely from the electrical mains, use the mains
switch on the back panel of the receiver to switch on or off.
6.2 Programme Selection
6.2.1 Using the Programme up/down keys
> Use the Channel up/down keys either on the receiver front panel or on the remote
control to move up or down the list one channel at a time.
6.2.2 Using the Numeric Key Pad
> Use the numeric key pad to enter the desired programme/channel number directly:
For example:
