No sound on "New analogue" receiver ?

My Satellite Setup
1m dish currently pointing at 5 degrees W to get French channels
My Location
Ayrshire, Scotland
I just bought (off ebay, of course) a used Hirschmann CSR601 analogue receiver, which I've hooked up to my dish pointing at 5W. My digital receiver happily gets all the French stuff from there, so I think the alignment's good.

When I connect up the analogue box, I get pictures, not too speckly from the couple of channels I've tried so far, but NO SOUND, just a hissing.

So, is there some reason this might be happening - LNB skew, alignment, cabling, or something else; or is my receiver busted ?

Any ideas, I'd be grateful (hope I've not just wasted £2.20 on the box :-) )

The French channels use the audio sub carrier 5.8MHz (mono transmission). Most analogue receivers come with 7.02-7.20 (stereo) as default so try changing the audio settings.
 
hi
i,m not sure how to navigate the menu ,s on that reciever
but have you tried all the audio options -- i,v just looked on flysat
and most of the analogue cahnnels on 5 west need setting to audio option -- 5.80
good luck

edit -- you beat me to it analoguesat l.o.l
 
Or the receiver has a modulator set to PAL G, and the UK TVs are all PAL I. Using a SCART lead should over come this.
 
Thanks for the advice. The box is connected through a scart lead, and I've also tried the seperate audio outputs, same results. I'll have a play this afternoon to see if I can find the audio setting and change the audio setup to the right frequency.

I'll let you know how I get on - no manual for the box....


Cheers

Well, it wasn't easy, given that my German is about 25 years out of date, but I managed to find a pdf manual and decipher it enough to find how to set the audio to the right frequency, and mono.

That worked a treat, thanks guys.
