Refer to the “Program Mapping” section below for information on assigning programs to transport streams.
Note: The system does not determine whether a particular channel is valid for your system; it only determines if a “Change Channel” operation is successful.
Program Mapping
After a tuner channel is set, input programs are initially assigned to transport streams (output programs) in numerical order. If more than eight programs were found, the first eight will be assigned. In the Program Mapping section of the Tuner Menu screen, you can edit the program assignments, as desired.
1.Edit the program number in each Input Program field, as required. Note that duplicate input program numbers are not allowed. Type NC, if necessary, to indicate “no connection.”
2.When you have completed the fields as required, click on the Set button at the bottom of the Input Program column to confirm your settings.
If you successfully set the program mapping parameters, the system will display 
at the bottom of the Tuner Information display.

•To power ON the tuner, click on the On button.
•To power OFF the tuner, click on the Off button.
In each case, if the action is completed successfully, the system will display 
at the bottom of the Tuner Information display. However, note that the power ON process may take up to 90 seconds as tuner firmware is reloaded. If desired, you can track the tuner progress via the command line interface Tuner Menu “info” command (see “View Tuner Information” on page 43 for further information).
Note: If a Tuner is powered off, the Power State column in the Tuner Information screen will indicate this status.
