For reference:
- In the case of using switch, please keep in mind the combination of antenna and each switch ports.
- It is not allowed to use 22KHZ tone switch and DiSEqC switch at the same time because the attributes of both switches are
utilizing the same 22KHZ tone.
- If you wish to use a "Tone Burst" switch even when it is not possible to select it in the menu, you can use it via the DiSEqC
option. When the antenna that is connected to the "A" input of the "Tone Burst" switch has been configured, select Input "A"
in the "DiSEqC" option in the "Antenna Setup” menu. Proceed in the same way when configuring the antenna that is con-
nected to the "B" input of the "Tone Burst" switch, and in this case, select Input "B" in the DiSEqC option.
- It is possible to manually look for the channels that directly indicate band "L" frequencies (950 - 2150 MHz). To do this,
select an available antenna in "Antenna Setup” and assign it to one of the free satellite positions (for example: NEWSAT1).
Then select "NO" in "Univ. LNB" (Univ. LNB), and enter "0" as the frequency of the local oscillator in both cases.

TP Setup
"TP Setup" can be used to search channels in a transponder or add up,
change and delete transponder on an existing satellite.
Some operators indicate that their programmes are encoded when in fact
they are shareware programmes.
If an automatic search has been carried out with the recommended option
(FTA Only), these programmes will not be incorporated into the channel list.
In cases such as this one, it is also useful to use the "TP Setup” option.
1Place cursor in the “Antenna” field. Select an antenna by pressing ,
key or press OK (LIST) key for pull down menu.
2Select a transponder in the "Transponder" box by pressing , key or by pressing OK (LIST) key. You can also go to the end of the list to
enter the values of a new transponder
3“Frequency”, “Symbol Rate”, “Polarization”, “FEC”, and “22KHZ” of the selected transponder will be displayed in each field. When you
want to change the value of each field, press numeric keys, /
and OK (LIST) key as needed.
4To check the signal level of the active transponder, select “Check Signal”. Then, the signal level will be displayed.
The following message can be seen in the signal level box:
- Lock: This means that the antenna and transponder data are
properly set and the RSD-7255 can search channels by selecting
"Start".
- Unlock: This means that the antenna and transponder data are not
properly set, therefore, the RSD-7255 is not in the condition to
search channels.
5Selection of “Start” will show the followings on the screen: The name of satellite/transponder searched and The name of channels found.
6Upon completing the “Searching”, number of channels found will be shown on the screen. When the number is “0”, the searching is failed.

7In general this option does not need to be used, as the receiver automatically detects all the programmes contained in the
transponder.
However, some of the programmes transmitted in test mode do not
have the adequate information available.
In these cases, it is possible to manually introduce the PIDs of the
desired programme, so that this programme can be recognised by
the IRD.
Each PID can be entered as decimal value. When the PID search is
finished, the following will be shown.
