Oscillator Menu
Satellites beam down their programs in a fre-
quency range that satellite receivers are unable to
deal with. In the receiving system (known as the

onverter) this frequency is converted to a
lower frequency that satellite receivers are then
able to handle.
The satellite transmission frequencies lie within the
following range:
10700 ... 11700 MHz
11700 ... 12750 MHz
The receiver input frequency however lies only
within the range:
950 .... 2150 MHz
The conversion of the high frequencies into a lower
frequency is effected with the aid of an oscillator
frequency (LO-frequency). Different oscillator fre-
quencies are used for the conversion depending
on the satellite frequency range and type of satel-
lite receiving installation.
The following oscillator frequencies (LO-
frequencies) are already preprogrammed in the
delivered state.
LO- Oscillator frequency
Group MHz
LO 1 9750
LO 2 9750
LO 3 10600
LO 4 10000
Select the LO-group that is to be changed and
enter the required LO-frequency using the numeric
keys or the
keys.
The LO-frequency can be set within the frequency
range between 9000 and 12000 MHz.
DiSEqC
™)
- Menu
DiSEqC is a proprietary name belonging to Eutel-
sat.
As already mentioned in the oscillator-frequency
menu entry, the satellites beam down their signals
in various frequency ranges.
Furthermore, with an appropriately equipped satel-
lite receiving installation, several satellites can be
received (multifeed installation).
The following receiving possibilities can be real-
ized:
Lower receiving range only (Low Band)
Frequency range: 10700 ... 11700 MHz
Upper receiving range only (High Band)
Frequency range: 11700 ... 12750 MHz
Reception of lower and upper frequency
ranges.
Frequency range: 10700 ... 12750 MHz
Reception of only Astra or only Eutelsat
Reception of both Astra and Eutelsat.
In order that the above-listed receiving possibilities
may be fully exploited, there are various technical
options available on the market, (change-over
boxes, matrices) for changeover and distribution of
the satellite signals to the individual subscribers.
If you are operating the receiver on such a receiv-
ing installation, you will be able to carry out the
necessary settings with this particular receiver.
