5.4.1 RAPS Start
Your receiver is equipped with RAPS. RAPS
means Receiver Automatic Programming
System. RAPS can automatically update the
channel lists of your receiver.
What is RAPS?
Currently, the satellites Astra 19.2° and 23.5°,
Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East, Eurobird 9° and
Turksat 42° offer a four-digit number of digital
TV and radio channels.
At delivery, state-of-the-art satellite receivers
have all important channels already stored. But
what happens after that? New and interesting
channels are added almost weekly, and there
are channel changes time and again.
Updating the channel list with a present re-
ceiver is not quite easy for most users. When
performing a channel search, invalid data are
not deleted, and usually the new channels are
just added at the end of the list; this requires
time-consuming reprogramming of the channel
list.
The RAPS system of your receiver automatical-
ly performs such programming work.
The window RAPS Automatic Installation is
the second window of the installation process.
Every time you switch off your receiver, RAPS
checks whether there are any changes with the
channel lists (RAPS scan). This only takes a
few seconds.
In case of changes, the new data are automat-
ically included into the new channel list (RAPS
download) and displayed in a table. If a chan-

Basic Operation
11
nel changes the receive parameters, then this
is automatically updated by RAPS. In case of
new channels, such channels are added. If
channels are permanently discontinued, then
the corresponding channel number is deleted.
However, new channels are not only added,
but allocated to logic blocks, correspondingly
enabling easier finding. That is why certain
areas may remain free. Example: For Germany,
there is the basic list as well as the areas Third
Channels, Info + Sports, Special Interest, Local
TV, as well as News starting at channel number
100 and many Music Channels starting at
channel number 123.
You can cancel RAPS installation by pressing
the key EXIT whilst the countdown of RAPS
installation is running (and also at a later point
in time during installation).
The then displayed channel list is a prepro-
grammed factory list. However, such list is not
updated via satellite due to cancelled RAPS
installation!
The respective up-to-date RAPS lists are
available via the satellite Astra 19.2°. Corre-
spondingly, RAPS can only be used within the
footprint of the satellite Astra 19.2°; further-
more, your system should be suitable for digi-
tal Astra receiving.
5.5 RAPS Parameters
