ADDING / DELETING CHANNELS
It is best to do ADD / DEL customizing before doing “BLNK.”
AUTO PROGRAM enters the same channels in banks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
AUTO PROGRAM removes any channels previously customized with ADD / DEL / BLNK. The channels available on your antenna / cable will be entered, and any channels previously entered but not currently available will be deleted.
ADD and DEL (not BLNK) can be used independently for chan- nel banks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
A channel blanked, is blanked in all channel banks.
