Channel Banks Setup

Use the Channel Banks to customize the channel offerings to the end user

The TV has four channel banks, where the administrator or installer can store groups of TV channels. Note: Channel banks set up requires an installer’s remote with “Source” or “Bank” keys.

Planning The Channel Banks

Generally, TV channels are grouped into “program packages” with terms that are proposed to the end user. The user then opts for a package. Below is an example of how TV channels may be grouped.

Bank Program Package

1Basic cable channels

2Extended cable channels

3Extended with premium channels

4 Other cable service options

(Grouping is provided as an example only.)

You may plan your package by using a chart like the one after the following page. Remember, you can “blank” a channel for accommodating audio- only, such as an FM radio station or in-house com- munication. Sometimes, only one or two channel banks may be needed. You may leave any unused bank with the channels entered during Auto Program; or, you may delete the channels. However, you may want to leave at least one chan- nel in any unused bank. Then, if someone selects an “unused” bank, that channel will assure them that the TV is functional.

Note: Some channels from factory testing may be in the channel banks if you have not yet run Auto Program.

2.Select a channel bank with the installer remote

- - press SOURCE/BANK (and repeat). CHANNEL BANK and BANK number are displayed.

3.Use the ADD/DEL/BANK option (also in the Setup menu) to customize your program pack- age. You may delete channels or add some that have not been entered. You can also ‘Blank’ a channel for accommodating an audio-only pro- gram source or in-house communication. See the “ADD/DEL/BANK” menu page for more details. Note: The Blank Channel feature is global. A channel will be blanked in all channel banks.

4.Repeat steps 2, and 3 to program another chan- nel bank.

Inactive TV Display (Channel Bank 4)

The TV can be set up to be inactive; which would require an attendant using an installer remote to change to a “billable” active channel bank selec- tion: Bank 1, 2, or 3. Note: For institution control of patient-accessible programming, channels in Bank 4 need to be removed.

Adding/Deleting Channels

A previously prepared programming chart is help- ful. (See next page.)

1.Run Auto Program (in the Setup menu). All channels found on your cable/antenna will be entered in Channel Bank 1, 2, 3, and 4. Note: Be advised that running Auto Program overwrites any custom channel setups e.g. removes Blanked, Deleted.

The BLNK (blank) channel function is “global”

--the same channel number is blanked in channel banks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
