Really need help setting up a channel/frequencies.

Oskare100

Hello,
I have an Luxor XTM 980 analogue satellite reciever/decoder. The analogue system hasn't been used for about five yeards but now I want to start using it to tune radio stations. I've tried several times with different radio stations but I can't get it working. When we stopped using it it had been recieving signals from Astra 1 and no one have changed anything since then.

This is the station I want to be able to tune on my analogue receiver:

Satelliten - Astra 1a
Frequenz - Tonträger von Super RTL (11.391 GHz) und VOX (11.273 GHz)
Kanal - analog 7,74/7,92 (SuperRTL) und 7,38 /7,56 (VOX) MHZ
Polarisation - horizontal
Sound - stereo

This is what I changed and what was alread entered in the settings:

First of all I (obviously ) clicked on "menu" on the remote control. There there was two settings I could change:

AFC: Till (To in english I think)
Decorder-scart: DEC.

and then I clicked on "program settings" or "channel settings" and I filled in the following information:

Sat: Astra 19E
Frequency: 11273 Mhz
I.a MF: 1523 Mhz
MAC/PAL: PAL
TV/Radio: Radio
Decod. sign.: E D (decod sign. in english I think)
Contrast: High
Sound: 2

---(clicked on OK on Sound to get this sound menu)--->
Modus: Stereo
Sound A: 7.38 Mhz
Sound B: 7.56 Mhz
Båndbredd: 130 khz (bandwidth in english I think)
Ljudkorrektion: Adaptive (Sound correction I think in english I think)
---(end sound menu)---

Polarisation: H18 (polarisation I think in english)

That was the current settings, here is the options I could choose from:

Main menu settings:

Decorder-scart: DEC and VCR
AFC: To and From.

Channel/program settings:

Dekod Sign (Decod Sign in english I think): E A, E C, E D, I A, I C and I D.
Bandbredd (bandwidth in english I think): 130 khz, 280 khz, 380 khz and 600 khz.
Ljudkorrektion (sound correction in english I think): Adaptive, 50, 75 and J 17.
Polarisation (polarisation in english I think): H 18 and V 14.
Kontrast (Contrast in english I think): High and Low.

I really need help with this because I don't really know what all those settings mean and I've tried to find out but I just found an explanation to a few of them so please, read trough it and see if you can find any errors/wrong settings.

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

Hello again,
One more thing, I have changed the receiver because mine didn't work so I've never used the receiver with my LNB. Cdan it be something with that? Maybe I need to change some settings? Is there any other settings you can think of that I might need to change? By the way, was my settings described in the first post correct?

Best Regard
Oskar R

Can we presume that you are still able to receive the normal analogue video channels?

If you are using a universal LNB, you need to make sure that the receiver is setup for a universal LNB, Local oscillator settings 9750 and 10600.
