LOCK / Executive Mode
Pressing this button once will disable the unit's front panel buttons. To re-enable the front panel
buttons simply press the LOCK button again. This setting can be stored to prevent people from
adjusting the unit without the remote control.
This feature is intended for use where the settings of the unit should not be disturbed or to set the
unit into an Executive Mode so that only the IR Remote or Control System is in control of the down
converter.
7.2 How to do a manual set
This function should only be needed when the AutoSet has failed for some reason, or the Computer
image that you are using has a dark background, which AutoSet cannot see. Please read the notes
on AutoSet & Level adjustments in the IR Remote Control section before adjusting these parameters,
in case something else will solve the problem.
With these adjustments, you can manually set what area of the computer's image is to be used for
display on your TV.
It is highly recommended that this method is only used when in Underscan mode, or you will not
know if you have adjusted the values correctly.

Press AutoSet on remote control twice (within 1.5 seconds) two 'beeps' will be heard.

8. Mouse Control
8.1 Introduction
The Magellan MDC - MK1 has an RS – 232 communications port that can be made to emulate a
Microsoft ® Serial Mouse, and all the features are controlled from the IR remote control. This section
details how to setup and use this feature.
8.2 Hardware setup
Setup of this feature requires the connection of an RS – 232 cable.
§
Use a (null-modem) serial cable to link from the Magellan MDC - MK1's RS – 232 connection to
the first spare COM port on your PC (usually COM2, but use COM1 if it's available)
§
Alternatively, disconnect your mouse from your PC and use an RS – 232 “Y Adapter” cable to
link from your PC to the Magellan MDC - MK1 - plugging the mouse back into the RS – 232 “Y
Adapter” unit.
