DAD860 Setup and Programming (cont.) 9
RF LIST SECONDARY MENUS
A DAD860 can store in its memory a
list
of all of the
digital channels and the MPEG programs they
contain, which it can receive from the CATV or off-
air signal source to which it is connected. The
values shown for the RF LIST parameter each lead
to secondary menus that allow manipulation of this
stored channel and MPEG information. The follow-
ing is a description of each of these secondary
menu functions. These secondary menus can only
be accessed when in the program mode.
USE LIST -
This function allows selection of the
desired channel and MPEG program from a chan-
nels LIST previously stored the DAD860’s memory.
From the “RF LIST” parameter screen USE LIST is
the default value.
1.
Press the RIGHT arrow button. “USE LIST”
and the currently stored channel number will be
displayed.
2.
Press the RIGHT button again. This will take
the operator to “RF # - MPEG # “ screen where the
desired channel and MPEG numbers can be
selected from the stored list using the UP and
DOWN arrow buttons.
3.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again to
save the value and proceed to the next parameter in
the primary menu.
MAN SEL -
This function allows storage of a
particular RF channel and MPEG program value
whether or not signals are being received. It is also
used to select a specific audio PID if that is desired.
1.
From the “RF LIST” screen, use the UP or
DOWN arrow buttons to select MAN SEL.
2.
In the MAN SELECT menu, choose MPEG
PGM to select a specific MPEG program OR choose
AUD PID to select one specific audio PID on this RF
channel. Video from the program containing this audio
PID will play, if available. Enter PID in decimal format.
3.
Press the RIGHT arrow button. A MPEG
PGM or AUD PID RF CH# screen will appear.
4.
Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to
select the desired RF channel.
5.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again. If
MPEG PGM was chosen in step 2, the “MPEG PGM”
screen will appear. Use the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons to select the desired MPEG program number.
If AUD PID was chosen, a screen will appear to allow
setting any audio PID number, do so now.
6.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again. This
will take you to the “RF # - MPEG #” screen in the
main menu with the desired channel selected.
7.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again to save
the value and proceed to the next parameter in the
primary menu.
SCAN ADD -
This function allows storage of an
additional channel to either a previously stored list or
an empty list, when the DAD860 is connected to a
signal source.
1.
From the “RF LIST” screen, use the UP and
DOWN arrow buttons to select SCAN ADD.
2.
Press the RIGHT arrow button. The “SCAN
ADD - CH 002” screen will appear.
3.
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select the
desired channel.
4.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again. The
“SCAN ADD
>>>>>” screen will appear followed
momentarily by the SCAN LOCK screen and on to
the “RF # MPEG” screen. At this point the unit will
exit program mode.
6.
At this point you can re-enter program
mode, proceed to the “RF # - MPEG #” screen and
select the desired MPEG number for the newly
added channel.
7.
Press ENTER to exit program mode.
NEW SCAN -
This function is used to populate an
empty list when the unit is attached to a signal
source.
1.
From the “RF LIST” screen use the UP or
DOWN arrows to select NEW LIST.
2.
Press the RIGHT arrow button. The “SCAN
NEW” screen will appear.
3.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again. A
“CONFIRM?” screen will appear.
4.
An additional press of the RIGHT arrow
button will produce a “SCAN NEW - >>>>>>>>”
screen which will remain while the unit scans all
channels. This could take a minute or two.
5.
When scanning is complete, you will briefly
see a “LOCK” screen followed by the “RF # - MPEG
#” screen in the main menu. You can then select the
desired channel from the newly stored list and
proceed to the next parameter in the primary menu.
CLR LST -
This function is used to erase all infor-
mation from the units memory in preparation for
reprogramming.
1.
From the “RF LIST” screen, use the UP or
DOWN arrows to select CLR LIST.
2.
Press the RIGHT arrow button. This will
produce a “CLR LIST” screen.
3.
Press the RIGHT arrow button again. A
“CONFIRM?” screen will appear.
4.
An additional depression of the RIGHT
arrow will produce a “CLEARING - >>>>>>>>”
screen followed shortly by the “RF # - MPEG #”
screen which will now say “EMPTY”
5.
You can now press the LEFT arrow button
to return to the “RF LIST” screen where you can
select the method you wish to use to reprogram the
unit’s memory.
