How do I tune or retune my Sony LCD TV (Satellite Guide Multiple Antennas)?

This is a step-by-step guide how to perform a basic tuning for up to four antennae (LNB) satellites.

IMPORTANT: Before you begin with the tuning procedure, you will need the basic details of your satellite system (which satellite is received or how the signal is distributed from satellite antenna to TV, for example). This information can be retrieved by contacting your broadcast and satellite antenna provider.

The below procedure applies to all of our Sony LCD televisions (excluding Android TVs). However, depending on your TV model, slight differences between the layout of the remote control and the menu interface may occur.

If you need further guidance at any point, you can find out more information in your TV's built-in Help Guide, or by navigating to the Support-page of your TV model.

Use the arrow buttons on your remote to navigate around the TV menu.	Select options by pressing the "plus" button. This is the round button in the centre of the circular Menu area of your remote.

1. Switch on the TV, and make sure the satellite antenna (aerial) cable is properly connected to the TV.
2. Proceed with pressing [MENU] or [HOME], depending on the layout of your remote control.  
3. Select Settings → Digital Set-up → Satellite Auto Tuning.
4. When asked "Do you want to start Auto Tuning?", select Yes.
5. Select Next.
6. In this step, you will be asked to choose between two satellite programme lists.
   Choose General Satellite and confirm.
   
   
7. When asked which type of scan option you would like to choose, select Normal Scan.
   
   
8. Set the Scan Type to Full Scan and press Next. 
   
   
9. Select Satellite 1 and press OK.
   
   
10. Select LNB Configuration and press OK.
    
    
    
    Now you can see the Signal strength and Signal quality bars. These should be close to MAX. This indicates that you are receiving a signal from the satellite and can start with the channel tuning.
    
    NOTE: If the bars are showing a low signal, or do not rise at all, you will need to change the tuning parameters (usually the LNB Voltage and/or DiSEqC control in LNB configuration or polarization in Transponder
11. Enable DiSEqC A and confirm with OK. Then press twice on the RETURN button of your remote controller to go back to the Select Satellite menu.
    
    
12. Select Satellite 2 and press OK.
    
    
13. Activate Satellite 2 by setting it to ON.
    
    
14. Select LNB Configuration and press OK.
    
    
15. Enable DiSEqC B and confirm with OK. Then press twice on the RETURN button of your remote controller to go back to the Select Satellite menu.
    
    
16. Press Start.
    
    
17. The TV will now start tuning. This process may take some time to complete.
    Repeat steps 9 to 15 if you like to scan Satellite 3 (DiSEqC C) and/or Satellite 4 (DiSEqC D) as well.
