[. . . ] Up or Down arrows 11) to select the desired multiplex corresponding to the EIA output channel that you set in step 9. This correlation is determined by the channel map used for your installation. 12) (Right) arrow - LNB menu - Up or Down arrows STACKED or DUAL POL - Set to the type you are using. 13) ENTER - Push once to store and load all of the above settings. By selecting the HITS mode in step 10, instead of the generic DCII setting, many of the other adjustable parameters have been preset to the values required for these networks, determined by the preset programming in the SCT4860. If you reenter the adjust mode later and make changes to the preset parameters or if you altered any of the parameters that were preset during the steps above such that the values do not match the preset values, the display in the mode menu will revert to DCII. If the dish has been aimed, you should now see a SN readout on the display. If it is less than 7 dB, the transcoder will not stay locked to the satellite signal. If the SN reading is showing only around 2 dB, you likely are not pointed at the correct satellite or the dish is not peaked. For reliable operation, the SN level should be above 10 dB and preferably even higher. The better the margin above the approximately 7 dB threshold, the less likely you will encounter drop outs due to thunderstorms or snow storms. NOTE: If you are using the RS232 remote control program, all of the above adjustments may be made via the PC, except the RACK ID assignment for the PS151 module. DISH NETWORK AUTO SET When the using the SCT4860 for DISH Network, select DISHScan from the MODE menu. Next, in the IF FREQ menu, select the IF frequency that corresponds to the DISH Network transponder that is desired. You will then advance all the way to the OUTPUT menu as the SCT4860 will automatically search for and set the satellite symbol rate and FEC. Based on what is found, the SCT4860 will then automatically select the proper QAM encoding, QAM modulation level, Interleave, etc. Finally, set the desired output level and EIA channel in the appropriate menus. If the modulation on a particular transponder is changed by DISH in the future, the SCT4860 will automatically reacquire the new signal, assuming it's on the same frequency, and automatically set the various satellite demodulator and QAM modulator parameters. Using the presets will significantly shorten the set up time for a new headend. These preset settings can be altered at any time if the required parameters change in the future. Whenever DISHScan is selected, the rain fade logic is automatically enabled. TURBO FEC Some advanced satellite FEC modes may be selected under the TURBO menu. To adjust /set a parameter(s), enter the adjust mode by pressing the center "ENTER" button for several seconds until the display begins to flash.
