3.3 SELECTING THE MENU LANGUAGE
The menu language can be switched between German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch
and Turkish.
Press the M, 4 and 2 keys to display respectively the main menu, installation menu and
language selection menu. Press the OK key and the choice of language is made as usual using
the Wand Vkeys.
The language originally set remains selected when you quit the menu using the E key.
The selected language is stored when you quit the menu using the OK key.
3.4 CHANNEL SELECTION
3.4.1 Channel selection using the number keys 0...9, V, Wand list
The channel is set by directly entering the channel number via the number keys (N.B. 0 is also a
channel number).
Move back/forward between the next/previous channel using the V/ W keys.
A sequential list of channel numbers appears after pressing the OK key twice. The desired
channel can be selected using the C/ B and V/ W keys and can then be set using the
OK key. Pressing the OK key again or pressing the E key quits the list.
3.4.2 Last channel using the E key
Pressing the E key switches between the two last set channels.
3.4.3 Zapper function using the OK and CVWB keys
When the currently selected channel takes an advertising break, many users zap between one,
two or more alternative channels. It is easy to forget which was the original channel being
viewed.
The zapper function notes three other alternative channels starting from the selected channel.
However, note that only those channels that have been viewed for at least 5 seconds are stored
in the memory.
The last 4 channels stored in this way can be accessed directly using the OK key followed by
the CVWB keys.
3.4.4 Channel management using 10 favourite lists
Digital television technology provides viewers with a wide range of channels. Depending on the
number of satellites that can be received, up to 2000 TV and 2000 radio channels are available.
To manage this (extremely) large number - who can remember several hundred channels and
the associated channel numbers? - the user has ten custom definable favourite lists, enabling
him to manage and sort the channels clearly.
7
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
A favourite list is a list in which channels selected from a channel pool can be organised.
By default the names of the favourite lists are pre-defined similar to the following example.
However, the name of the favourite list can be changed according to individual preferences.
Each favourite list has the available channel numbers P000....P999.
Favourite list
Name sorted channels (example)
Example: F0: ALL
(e.g. all free channels from the channel pool)
(e.g. PHOENIX, n-TV, N-24, Bloomberg etc.)
(e.g. DSF, EuroSport, Motors-TV etc.)
F1: NEWS
F2: SPORT
F3: MUSIC
(e.g. MTV, VIVA, VIVA 2, Video Italia, Hit-Channel etc.)
(e.g. Canal Canarias, Travel-Channel etc.)
(e.g. Home Shopping, QVC, Wishline, ONYX etc.)
(e.g. KIKA + other children’s channels etc.)
F4: TRAVEL
F5: SHOPPING
F6: CHILDREN
F7: MISCELLANEOUS (e.g. - all channels not previously allocated)
F8: ABC
F9: XYZ
(e.g. ...)
(e.g. ...)
The desired channels can be taken from the channel pool, which contains all channels in
alphabetical order, and copied into the target, i.e. one of the 10 favourite lists.
All free channels from the channel pool as stored by default in the favourite list 0 = «ALL».
Favourite list Fav 0 = ALL thus corresponds to the channel allocation you may already be familiar
with from satellite receivers.
Some of the channels transmitted by the Astra 19 and Eutelsat Hotbird satellites are also already
contained in various favourite lists.
Selecting a favourite list is done by pressing the F key and one of the allocated number keys
0...9.
N.B.:
After selecting a channel the following message is displayed:
Number and name of favourite list currently selected.

3.5 SWITCHING BETWEEN TV AND RADIO
Switching between radio and TV is done using the R or TV keys. Both keys also affect the
switching impulse voltage of the TV SCART socket. If you also receive channels on your TV set
via antenna or cable, you can switch between the channel received by your TV set or by the
satellite receiver using the TV key provided that the switching impulse voltage is detected and
processed by your TV set.
N.B.:
All channel functions available for TV (last channel, zapper function,
favourite lists, channel lists and channel pool etc.) are also available
separately for 1000 radio channels.

3.9 EPG - PROGRAMME INFORMATION (BASIC
NAVIGATOR)
The EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) contains information on current and subsequent
programmes.
The extent of this channel-related information is determined by the individual provider and varies
greatly from one channel to the next. Many channels are also transmitted without usable
additional information (SI data).
This is also the case for the preview. Some providers do not transmit any data; others already
transmit a preview, including additional information, up to a few days in advance.
The EPG information is accessed and quit using the i key.

4.2 SEARCH MODE
4.2.1 Satellite search mode
Satellite search mode is performed for all frequencies on the selected satellite. Select the
desired settings in the menu sequence.
Selecting the individual parameters is performed after activating using the OK key and then
using the Bor Ckey.
GB
We recommend launching the search mode occasionally in order to detect new channels. For
this purpose use the basic settings shown in {bold}.
If you wish to search for one single channel individually, you can shorten the search mode
duration by restricting certain known parameters, e.g. {Low} and {22}.
(1) the desired satellite {ASTRA}
>
>
>
{Hotbird}
{Low}
{22}
>
>
>
{Sat 3} > to {Sat 8}
{High}
(2) the band
{Low/High}
(3) the symbol rate
{22+27.5}
{27.5}
>
{FREE}
(4) or a free symbol rate {XXXX}
(only possible if the symbol rate under point (3) has been changed to {FREE})
(5) and then start the search mode using the OK key
and select whether the search is to be for non-encrypted or encrypted channels or
both simultaneously: select: «FREE» or «CA» or «FREE+CA».
N.B.:
Some of the encrypted channels can also be received free or free at certain times.
Exception: The encrypted ORF channels are located under ‘FREE’!
4.2.2 Transponder search mode
All channels of a transponder are searched for in transponder search mode.
(1) Satellite
(2) Frequency
(3) Polarisation
(4) Symbol rate
If the parameters (satellite, frequency, polarisation, symbol rate) of the channel being searched
for are known, transponder search mode can then be used.
If, for example, a new channel belonging to a known channel group is launched, it is sufficient to
set a channel from this channel group initially via channel selection - the relevant parameters are
transferred to the transponder search mode.
If the message «No signal!» appears in the «START» line, reception is not possible. Please
check the parameters satellite, frequency, polarisation and symbol rate once again.
Search mode can be started if the «Signal!» message appears.
(5) Start search mode using the OK key.
Encrypted channels are denoted by the «$» symbol. Channels that you do not wish to transfer to
the channel pool can be deleted individually using the TV key.
New channels are marked by «+». Transfer to the channel pool can be done by pressing the OK
key.
4.2.3 Manual input (for advanced users)
If neither the satellite nor the transponder search mode detects the desired channel, all relevant
reception parameters can be set in «Manual input» mode. Manual input is very useful e.g. if the
reception data of the desired channel are known, but it only transmits at certain times.
