Program a Satellite Execution Codes
Extra Functions Parental Locks

These receivers do not have menus or on screen displays. They work by pressing codes on the remote or codes that are displayed on the receiver. *You need to watch the receiver during the programming process for any execution code that may come up.

HOW TO PROGRAM A SATELLITE

1. If the satellite to be programmed is already stored in the wrong position, then it must be erased before it can be programmed.  See Extra Functions section and follow the Erase A Satellite procedure.

2. Go to an active channel on the satellite next to the one to be programmed.

3. Press TUNING SELECT to bring up the dish tuning on the receiver. The light beside DISH on the receiver will be lit. If the DISH light will not come on then you may have a parental lock on.  See How to Turning Off the Parental Lock.

4. If the format is the same on both satellites: Start tapping up arrow (east) or down arrow (west) depending on which direction the satellite your looking for is located until a different picture comes in. If the picture is correct, skip to Step 10.

5. If the format is different on the two satellites: Start tapping up arrow (east) or down arrow (west) depending on which direction the satellite your looking for is located just until the picture is gone.

6. Press TUNING SELECT one time to bring up polarity tuning mode. The light beside POLARITY on the receiver should light up. If the POLARITY light will not come on then you may need to change the feed type to C-Band Single Feed.  See Extra Features.

7. Press and hold up arrow/down arrowS until a picture comes in, then tap up/down arrowS to get the picture as clear as possible. Make a note of the polarity number on the receiver. If a picture never appears, check to make sure you are on an active channel. If the channel is an active channel, then start over from Step 1 and go in the opposite direction on step 4 or 5.

8. If the picture still does not come in, start over from Step 1 and select a different satellite to start from on step 2.

9. If the picture is in and it is correct, press TUNING SELECT to bring up the dish tuning on the receiver. The light beside DISH on the receiver should be lit again.

10. Press SAT and the satellite name your looking for, (EX: SAT S 4). The receiver will change channels from what it was on. Go back to an active channel, using channel up/down ARROWS. The picture may or may not be there, press STORE on the remote control with a sharp instrument (even if the picture is not there). [An execution code may appear here].

11. After pressing store the receiver may set the polarity and then set the dish for the best signal. After the auto tuning is done, or if it does not auto tune, the satellite should be stored. [The receiver will display an E-1, which means the new satellite is stored in memory and should sound a tone]. Press CANCEL to exit the dish-tuning mode and then hit VIEW to verify that it stored it and that it is correct.

13. If the name is on the screen, but there is no picture. First, verify the channel. If the channel is OK, then press TUNING SELECT to select the polarity-tuning mode. Hold down up arrow until the picture starts to come in. Tap up arrow or down arrow until the picture is clear. When the picture is clear, press STORE again.

14. If it auto-tunes to a different satellite, then you must erase the satellite you just stored and then turn off the auto tuning. See Extra Functions on how to erase a satellite and turn auto tuning off procedure. Then proceed to Programming a Satellite again.

To operate the Extra Functions procedures:

1. Press 6 3.

-If there is no password set, then the receiver will display F__ on the receiver. This means it is waiting for the command code for the function to be entered.

-If there is a password set, then the receiver will display P__ on the receiver. This means that it is waiting for a password to be entered (password = 2406). After entering the password it will then display F__, which then it is waiting for the command code for the function to be entered.

2. To enter the desired function, press the number code that corresponds to whatever function you are doing. (EX: To erase a sat, you would press 9 0)

3. Depending on what function it is, it may ask for a satellite to be entered, it will be displayed as S__. If so, press the name of the satellite you are erasing then store or enter that corresponds to the particular function listed below. Be sure to watch the receiver, it may display an execution code.
