SETTING UP THE RECEIVER FOR THE
ATTACHED DISH AND LNB(S)
Reaching the Input Menu
>» To display the Input Menu press MENU, 6, 1.
The input Menu should appear superimposed on the
satellite programme. It could be that until you adjust
certain settings at this menu, the background picture
remains very distorted, making the text difficult to read.
If this is the case, you can press the TV/SAT key on your
handset to force a plain background for the menu.
Note
Ina non-IRD receiver, display the Input 2 Menu, by
pressing 0 at the Input 1 Menu.
Important - the LNB Band.
Before using the receiver it is very important to check
that the "LNB Band" option (or "Low Band" and "High
Band" options) at the relevant Input Menu is set to
correspond with the LNB on the dish attached to that
input. If it is nox, then there can be problems (see below).
The LNB type fe: input 1 (and Input 2 in non-IRD receiv-
ers) is preset at "he factory as 9.750 FSS A (preset for LNBs
with a local osc: 'ator whose frequency is 9.750 GHz).
The following information assumes that your dish
antenna and LN3 have been installed and that the lead
from the LNB is connected to Input 1 of your receiver.

What can happen if an LNB is set incorrectly
If an LNB setting does not correspond with the attached
LNB, there can be problems.
if you set "FSS B" at the Input Menu and the LNB is not
suitable for "FSS B" (or, conversely, you have attached an
"FSS B" LNB, but set a different value at the menu) then
the receiver tunes to a different frequency, so that you
see a different programme or no programme at all.
In other cases the receiver does not tune into a different
frequency (i.e. the same programme remains on the
screen) but the frequency displayed at the Set Up
Programme Menu may not be correct.
If you are attaching this receiver to an existing
satellite dish
You can check if it is set correctly as follows:
>» Look at the programme list and key in the
programme number that corresponds to Sky News
(frequency: 11.377 GHz); the programme Sky News
should be visible.
>> If you see CNN on the screen, display the Input Menu
and change the LNB Band option from FSS A 9.7 50 to
FSS B 10.000 - see page 20.
>» If you see GALAVISION, display the Input Menuand
change the LNB Band option from FSS B 10.000to
FSS A 9.750 - see page 20.
