2. AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWAP

2.1 Automatic satellite swap via DiSEqC™

In most cases you will aim your automatic satellite system at one specific satellite only. Of course, your system
can also receive many other satellites, allowing you to watch e.g. Dutch, Swiss, French, Spanish or other chan-
nels. You can select a satellite manually at any time via the control menu.
However, your system can also readjust to a different satellite automatically when you change to the corre-
sponding channel. This may be necessary in countries where the channels are broadcast via different satellites.
Using the automatic satellite swap requires some settings to be made at your TV set or receiver, and possibly also
at your satellite reception system. If these settings are not defined at all or are incorrect, the automatic satellite
swap will not work or a wrong and hence useless satellite will be received. The automatic satellite swap can be
performed using the DiSEqC™ feature (disabled at the factory).
The Automatic satellite swap of your Oyster® VISION satellite system has been disabled at the factory to avoid
problems and malfunctions! If you wish to use this function, you can enable it at any time via the menu system.
However, it is then mandatory to adjust the settings of your TV set or receiver!
Changing the DiSEqC™ settings of your Oyster® systems only makes sense is specific cases, for example when
using a "FastScan Receiver" (Netherlands, Belgium, and some other countries).
If you wish to use the antenna system together with an external device (TV/receiver - not made by ten Haaft)
supporting the "Fast-Scan" feature (Benelux, Scandinavia, possibly other countries), you need to change the
DiSEqC settings in your control unit (Vision III control box/FeatureBox). The DiSEqC settings are determined
by the Fast-Scan station list. You can read them out via the control panel and adjust them at the control unit.
The devices Oyster TV and HD Europe Receiver of ten Haaft support the "Fast-Scan" feature – no adjustment
of the DiSEqC settings required.

2.2 Settings at the Vision control unit

To be able to use the automatic satellite swap by means of the DiSEqC™ capability of your TV set or receiver, you
first need to enable the DiSEqC™ function in the menu of your antenna system.

2.3 Enabling DiSEqC™ at the TV set
The settings required at the TV set or receiver are usually provided in a menu item called "DiSEqC™" or similar.
For details please refer to the user manual of your TV set or receiver or contact the dealer.
The DiSEqC™ settings should provide options 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. We recommend selecting DiSEqC™ 1.2. You then
need to assign a unique ID to each satellite as is already preset at the FeatureBox. These IDs must be identical in
the TV settings and in the FeatureBox (see table in the following slide).
If your TV set does not permit these settings, please contact your dealer.
