During this process, the numbers 0 to 9, foliowed by the ietters of the aiphabet and
finaily a space are shown, one at a time.
When you seiected option 5, the message “Press 5 again to advance to next
character” appeared at the bottom of the menu.
Press the 5 key to move to the position of the second character and use the + key or
- key to set it. Continue in this manner untii ail of the required characters have been
changed or entered.
Press the 6 key to store this as the name of the programme number shown in option 4.
FIND PROGRAMMES MENU
Important:
• The Find Programmes Menu is shown right.
• The SATELLITE option is only relevant if you have installed a compatible dish
positioner and will only be present in this menu if you have set the POSITIONER
option at the Antenna Settings Menu to ON (see page 20).
Setting the Frequency
Set the required frequency value by pressing the + key or - key to go through the
frequency values one at a time.
NOTE: If the frequency value shown In this menu does not seem to correspond with
the frequency value given In a satellite TV magazine for the satellite transmission you
are viewing, then the INPUT option in the LNC Installation Menu is probably set to the
incorrect value (see page 20 - the LNC Installation Menu).
NOTE: If you have entered the correct frequency but see a plain coloured screen
rather than a picture, the signal may be too weak to disable this plain screen (perhaps
because your dish antenna is out of alignment). Alternatively, you may have pressed
the C3 key to force a plain screen, so press CD to check this.
Searching the Frequencies to Find New Programmes
If you want to set up a new programme, but do not know its frequency, you first need
to locate the required satellite channel, and to do this you turn on the frequency search.
Press the 2 key to select option 2 and the search will start immediately.
The frequency value given in option 1 will keep changing and then stop when the next
satellite transmission frequency is reached. The background to the menu will be a
solid colour until the transmission frequency is reached, then a programme appears
as the menu's background.
If this is a transmission frequency you wish to allocate to a programme number, exit
the scan by selecting another option on the menu.
This frequency may, however, be one which is already allocated to an existing
programme number, or it may be a transmission that you are not interested in, so you
can continue the scan by pressing the + key or the - key. Press the + key to continue
the search up the frequency band to higher frequencies; press the - key to search
down the band. There will be a wrap at the end of the band.
Setting the Polarity
For a voltage-switching polarizer, there are two possible polarity values: H (for
horizontally polarized) and V (for vertically polarized).
Select the POLARITY option and press the + key or - key to set the required value.
Setting the Satellite
If you have connected a dish positioner to your receiver, you should set the
POSITIONER option at the Antenna Settings Menu to ON (see page 20). This will
cause the SATELLITE option to appear in the Find Programmes Menu. If you do not
have a positioner, you should set the POSITIONER option to OFF.
If you have a Philips dish positioner, such as the SCC224, you can set it up to point
the dish antenna at different satellites. The SATELLITE option in the Find Pro­
grammes Menu allows you to specify these dish antenna positions on a per-
programme basis, so that when the receiver and positioner are connected together
via a SCART lead, the dish antenna can move when programmes are selected at the
receiver. The SATELLITE option can have any value between 1 and 128, but the
relevant values depend on the settings on your dish positioner.
Find out which satellite transmits the programme, check on your dish positioner which
position this satellite has, then set this value at the SATELLITE option using the + key
or - key.
