Channel Banks Worksheets
Use Channel Banks Worksheets (see page 26) to create channel status charts as part of the setup process.
See also sample charts on page 25. On the channel status charts, show the status for each channel in all
channel banks. This then becomes the patient entertainment programming offerings plan.
Channel Status Options for Channel Banks
In the Channel Banks Setup Menu, use the Channel Up/Down arrows on the Installer Remote to navigate
to a channel and the Left/Right arrows to select the channel status.
Adding / Deleting / Blanking Channels
It is best to complete ADD / DELETE customization before assigning BLANK status. All channels found
during Auto Tuning are automatically assigned NORMAL-ADDED status in Channel Banks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
NORMAL-ADDED and NORMAL-DELETED status can be assigned independently for Channel Banks 1,
2, 3, and 4. However, a channel blanked, is blanked in all channel banks.
Note:
Auto Tuning removes any channels previously customized with ADD / DELETE / BLANK.
Note:
On individual TVs, if a channel was not found during Auto Tuning (and was not added during
Express Script/Custom Master TV Setup procedures), it can be added using the Manual Tuning option in
the Channel Menu.
Selecting Deleted Channels
To tune to a NORMAL-DELETED channel:
1. Select a channel bank where the channel’s status is NORMAL-ADDED.
2. Navigate to or direct enter the channel number.
3. Select the channel bank where the channel’s status is “NORMAL-DELETED,” and reconfigure the
channel status in the Channel Banks Setup Menu.
