Initial Installation
Preparation:
You will have to be informed of following points to make a successful channel scanning.
 Towards which satellite does your antenna ori-
ent?
 If you have more than one antenna or one anten-
na with more than one LNB, you will have to
know which type of switch (Toneburst or DIS-
EqC) is employed and to which port is each An-
tenna LNB connected.
 For a Unicable/SCR EN50494, you will have to
know which IF-Channel is available and its corre-
sponding Frequency.
Please ask the installer, if any of the parameter is not
known. If you live in a rental house or apartment,
please ask the renter.
Example for Germany:
The most satellite antennas orient satellite ASTRA 19.2° and have a “universal” or “Digital” LNB. We
recommend the pre installed list in the case.
If you would not like to use the pre programmed list, the common setup for ASTRA 19.2° is as fol-
lowing:
Satellite: 019.2E Astra 1H.
LNB Type: 09750/10600
LNB voltage: 13/18V

Dish Setup-Procedure

ENG 19
English
LNB Typ: define the oscillator frequency for your LNB . Please take the correct value from the
manual of your LNB (standard:09750/10600)
If you have a Unicalbe/SCR EN50494, select LNB type Unicable (A or B, A is generally the correct
choice by a Unicable system for satellite reception). Choose a free channel (IF channel) and the
corresponding frequency. Please refer to the manual of your Unicable system. Ask your renter for
the free channel, if the connection is provided in the rental house.
LNB Voltage: This parameter defines the voltage of the antenna, this voltage decides signal from
horizontal or vertical polarized transponder will be received. The setting will only have to be changed
in very rare cases. A false setting will result in missing program or no signal reception at all.
(standard:13/18V)
22KHz: The receiver can switch the LNB with 22 KHz signals for the reception of another
frequency band. The setting will only have to be changed in very rare cases. A false setting will re-
sult in missing program or no signal reception at all. (standard: Auto)
Toneburst: Tone burst switcher has two input ports, enabling the connection of 2 antennas or
LNB to the receiver. If you have a Tone burst switcher, you will have to select one of the both con-
nections (A or B) for the satellite chosen on the left side.
DiSEqC: DiSEqC switcher has up to 16 input ports enabling the connection of multiple anten-
nas or LNB to the receiver. If you have a DiSEqC switcher, you will have to select one of connec-
tions for the satellite chosen on the left side. Please check which version (1.0, 1.1) could be support-
ed in the manual of your switcher.
Motor: Rotatable Antennas require extended configurations. We recommend professional
installation from a technician. Please set up according to your antenna. You can open further set up
windows with the RED and the GREEN button.
After the set up has been done for all reachable satellites, please press the BLUE button to open the
menu for channel scan.

Initial Installation
There appears a window showing “Channel Search” upon pressing the BLUE button on the menu of
the Satellite Setting.
On this Window you can make three entries to affect the scan result.
Search Mode:
 Standard: The receiver scans channels according to a pre programmed list. This search pro-
cess goes quickly but without being able to find programs on new transponders.
 Blind search: The receiver scans every possible frequency. It takes a little bit more time than
standard scan. However it is possible to find programs from unknown transponders.
 Network: The receiver scans channels according to a pre programmed list. The frequency of a
new transponder could be found out through analysis of the known transponders. The scan
process is shorter than “blind scan”, but there might be possibly missing programs.
Please employ “Blind Scan”. It takes a little bit longer, but will result in a complete program list. If
you have added a new satellite on the menu of Satellite Setting, please employ “Blind scan”, for
there is no transponder list available for the newly added satellite. There is no “Blind scan” option in
case of UniCable system.
Encrypted:
 All programs: both free and encrypted programs (Pay TV)
will be added to the program list during the channel scan.
 FTA (free): The channel scan saves only free programs.
The XORO DVB Receiver can not decrypt Pay-TV programs.
Please select “FTA” (free programs), so that you will get a
shorter program list and save some time in sorting the pro-
grams.
Service Type:
 All: The channel scan saves both TV and Radio
programs.
 DTV: The channel scan saves only TV programs.
 Radio: The channel scan saves only Radio pro-
gram.
Press the OK button to start the Channel scan.
After the channel scan is completed, live picture of the
first found channel will be shown on the screen.
