Selecting the OOB Frequency

To select the OOB frequency:

Press the UP/DOWN channel or cursor keys to scroll through the frequencies to locate the desired OOB frequency. The frequency selection appears on the MANUAL FREQ line of the OSD.

The first frequency to display is 75.25. The system scrolls through each frequency until it reaches the last, 103.75, and then scrolls back to the beginning. This diagnostic scrolls through the OOB frequencies in the following order:

!75.25 MHz

!104.20 MHz

!72.75 MHz

!92.25 MHz

3Press SELECT to begin searching for the OOB frequency.

On the OSD the MANUAL FREQ line of text clears, the HUNT MODE displays FIX to indicate the fixed frequency search, and the CUR FREQ field changes to the frequency selected to search.

If the frequency is found with the proper EMM Provider ID, the OSD LKC field changes to display the new frequency.

If after 40 seconds the frequency search is not successful, the set-top performs a warm reset and returns to the last known carrier frequency.

4To abort a search without waiting the 40 seconds, press POWER to cause a warm reset.
