SR2012 Satellite System (160-2507) Operation Faxback Doc. # 19808 Programming the Satellites NOTE: Make sure to obtain the alignment data from the Radio Shack Store. Set the limits and polarity. 1. If the LOCK is on, press and hold LOCK till the indicator goes off (4 seconds). The receiver cannot be programmed when the receiver is locked. 2. Press SATELLITE SELECT [NAME] and [NO] buttons to display the letter/ number name of one of the satellites you located while aligning the dish. Write down the counter reading from the satellite. 3. Move the dish to another satellite you located during dish alignment and write down its counter reading. 4. Calculate the number of counts between the two satellites and divide that number by the number of degrees between the two satellites. (Some of this information may be displayed in the satellite guide.) 5. Now, multiply the number of degrees between a known satellite you want to locate by the counts per degree to find the approximate number of counts to that satellite. 6. Press [EAST] or [WEST] to move the dish to the calculated counter reading. 7. Press FORMAT V/H to select the proper polarity format for the satellite. 8. Press CHANNEL [up arrow] or [down arrow] to locate an active channel on the satellite and confirm that you have located the desired satellite. 9. Press [EAST] or [WEST] to get the best possible picture. 10. Press POLARITY ADJUST [+] or [-] for additional fine tuning. 11. Press VIDEO FINE TUNE [+] or [-] for additional fine tuning. 12. Repeat Steps 9 through 11 as necessary to obtain the best possible picture on that channel. 13. Use SATELLITE SELECT [NAME] and [NO] to display the letter/number code for the new satellite. 14. Press STORE to program the satellite's location, polarity format, and polarity fine tuning. The satellite number flashes twice to confirm the information is stored. 15. On the same satellite, select a channel that uses the opposite polarity format (horizontal or vertical) from the first channel you selected. 16. Repeat Steps 9 and 10 for that channel and press [STORE] to enter the information in memory. Repeat Steps 5 through 16 to locate and program upto 25 satellites. To protect stored information, pres [LOCK] so that the LOCK indicator lights. (IR-02/28/96)
