2.2 Preparing the receiver
SIMRAD Marine TV does not need a special receiver. The satellite tracking
system can be connected to any commercial receiver for digital and analogue
reception. Only the LNB-type in the setup menu of the receiver has to be set
on "Universal" (LOF 9,75/10,6 GHz). If you want several satellite positions,
the DiSEqC™ function for an automatic satellite switch has to be activated.
To program your receiver, please refer to the respective owner's manual!
For every satellite at least one program must be preprogrammed in the
receiver to control the satellite position of the antenna unit by means of
the TV picture quality. If not, preprogram the receiver by using an already
installed satellite system!
In case the receiver supports the function, adjust the receiver so that the
power supply of the LNB is turned off during the standby-mode. This
means that the control unit and the antenna unit are without power supply.
This function enables the turning on and off of the antenna unit via remote
control of the receiver, which lowers the power consumption.
In case several receivers are connected to the antenna simultaneously (e.g.
a digital receiver with analogue receiver looped through) both receivers
must have identical DiSEqC™ settings i.e. active or inactive.
