The antenna is automatically aligned and can be manually corrected.
If a HDP is connected, the menu item “HDP antenna alignment” must
be set to ‘On.’ Access this menu item via the main menu of the UFD
540 by pressing the
button as well as the
or
button.
The factory setting is “Off.” The setting for the operation with a HDP
170 is “HDP antenna alignment - On.” Make this setting by using the
or
button. Afterwards you can exit the menu. Each time the re-
ceiver is switched on, the positioner automatically searches for the
previously received programme and the respective satellite position
(e.g. ZDF/Astra). Each satellite transmits its own identification signal
and is automatically recognised by the receiver. The search lasts one
to two minutes, according to the starting position. The following mes-
sage appears:
Afterwards, the message shown below appears identifying, that the
satellite has not yet been stored in the system.
As soon as the positioner has found the correct satellites, an
automatic fine tuning is carried out. During this tuning, the picture
may “freeze,” which is caused by the system.
