PLANNING THE CHANNEL BANKS
Generally, TV channels are grouped into “program pack-
ages” with terms that are proposed to the end user. The
user then opts for a package. Below is an example of how
TV channels may be grouped.
You may plan your package by using a chart like the one
after the following page.
Remember, you can “blank” a channel for accommodating
audio-only, such as an FM radio station or in-house com-
munication.
Sometimes, only one or two channel banks may be need-
ed. You may leave any unused bank with the channels
entered during Auto Program; or, you may delete the chan-
nels. However, you may want to leave at least one channel
in any unused bank. Then, if someone selects an “unused”
bank, that channel will assure them that the TV is func-
tional.
Note: Some channels from factory testing may be in the
channel banks if you have not yet run Auto Program.
ADDING / DELETING CHANNELS
A previously prepared programming chart is helpful.
1. Run Auto Program (in the Setup menu). All channels
found on your cable/antenna will be entered in
Channel Banks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Note: Be advised that running Auto Program overwrites
any custom channel setups; removes Blanked, Deleted.
2. Select a channel bank with an installer remote - -press
SOURCE/BANK (and repeat). CHANNEL BANK and BANK
number will be displayed.
3. Use the ADD/DEL/BLNK option (also in the Setup
menu) to customize your program package. You may
delete channels or add some that have not been
entered. You can also “Blank” a channel for accommo-
dating an audio-only program source or in-house com-
munication. See the “ADD/DEL/BLNK” menu page for
more details.
Note: The Blank Channel feature is global. A channel
will be blanked in all channel banks.
4. Repeat steps 2, and 3 to program another channel
bank.
Managing the Channel Banks
The TV has four channel banks, where the administrator or installer can store groups of TV channels
Note: Channel banks set up requires an installer’s remote with “Source” or “Bank” keys like the
optional Zenith MBR3447, or a similar remote.
