• Select SYSTEM PARAMETERS to display the programming screen. You indicate local time, the date, the language for your menus as well as your geographical location (latitude and longitude) here. If you do not know these, you should consult an atlas or a map of your region. • Set the time and the date using the numerical keypad on your remote control. • Select the language for your menus using keys 3 and 4. • Select the language for audio broadcast, using keys 3 and 4.
5.3 SATELLITE ACTIVATION AND PROGRAMMING Before using your equipment, you will need to choose the satellites you wish to install. All the satellites preset are selected and active, by default. • In the PROGRAMMING menu, select SATELLITE PARAMETERS • To select or deselect a satellite, use keys 5 and 6 to move the cursor to the satellite desired, then press OK to activate it. You can deactivate it by pressing OK again.
5.4 CHOOSING THE TYPE OF EXTERNAL MOUNT (DISH AND ACCESSORIES) Here you specify the type of mount corresponding to your installation. a) INSTALLATION WITH FIXED DISH(ES) ♦ Select DISH PARAMETERS in the PROGRAMMING menu. ♦ Choose 1 FIXED INPUT or 2 FIXED INPUTS, according to whether your installation uses the two satellite inputs of your XENA or not (Use keys 5 and 6, then press OK to enter).
♦ Press 5 to move the window and select the type of LNB (Universal 1, Universal 2,...), using the CH+ and CH- buttons. Press OK. Go to the motor settings menu, select SATELLITE ACTIVATION to commence activating the satellites you wish to include in your search. Here you specify which satellites will be accessible in the automatic search mode. ♦ Scan through the satellite list (use keys 5 and 6), then activate or deactivate the satellites by pressing OK. Then press 3.
Your XENA is equipped with a data base containing the parameters of all the satellites preset. It can happen, however, that these parameters change. In this case, if the satellite can not be located, it is necessary to update them, by entering the frequency, the polarisation and the symbol rate of a bouquet carried by the satellite concerned.
b) FOR MOTORISED DISH INSTALLATIONS ♦ In the INSTALLATION menu, select AUTOMATIC SEARCH. ♦ If you wish to memorise the channels on all the active satellites, select ON ALL SATELLITES. The installation will commence immediately after you have pressed the OK button again. When it is complete, save your new programme base by pressing the SAVE button. The installation is entirely automatic. It is therefore important to check the signal level of each active satellite when aligning your dish,.
The transponders are systematically arranged in alphabetical order and by satellite. You can use the REORGANISATION OF LISTS menu to organise them as you wish (see 7.4). a) TO UPDATE A DIGITAL BOUQUET The number of channels in a transponder and their names can change.
