LEGEND:
ORANGE = represents a key on the remote
RED = Information Displayed on the TV screen

RENAMING A SATELLITE:
To rename a satellite, for example T3 to G9, first move to satellite T3.

On your remote control, press MENU then 9 (SAT DEFINITION) (. If it asks for a password, enter 2, 3, 4, 5 or your password if you have changed it from the factory setting. Using the UP or DOWN ARROW on the remote control, move the cursor to the line that says ADD SATELLITE: , press ENTER. The display at the bottom of the screen will read ENTER NEW SAT NAME:.

Press the G then the 9 on your remote control's number pad. The display should now read - SATELLITE G9 ADDED. I would not change the satellite type since G9 is a "Galaxy" type satellite in name only. Press VIEW to
return to normal viewing.

PROGRAMMING A SATELLITE:
To add a new satellite to a Monterey model receiver, you must first locate a satellite that has the same format as the satellite you are trying to locate. (For example if you want to add a Galaxy satellite, go to the nearest Galaxy satellite you have in memory, however there are some exceptions to this rule (Refer to your satellite TV guide or our satellite chart to find the closest similar satellite). As an example here is how to program the GE-1 (W1) satellite.

1. Move to G4/06, confirm the picture as Shepard's Chapel. Change to channel 19. Press MENU then 9 (SAT DEFINITION). Using the UP and DOWN ARROWS on the remote, move the CURSOR to the line that says ADD NEW SATELLITE and press ENTER. It will ask you to enter the new name; on the remote press W then the 1. The screen will tell you that the satellite is added and the new name should be showing in the upper right corner of your screen. Using the UP or DOWN ARROWS move the cursor to SAT. TYPE: press the LEFT arrow several times to change the type to ASC, press ENTER and rename it GE-1 (renaming an existing satellite's type it will rename all satellites of that type. Since we used G4 as a base we need to change it to something not used any longer then change it to GE-1, that why ASC was chosen). Press MENU, MENU to save the change.

Press MENU then 7 (SAT / CHAN SETUP). Move the cursor to DISH POSITION and press ENTER. Use the RIGHT ARROW and move the dish to the West to locate Satellite When you see a picture, verify that you are on the correct satellite by referring to a satellite chart. Use the Autotune button to help tune for the best picture (this button is the TIME button but becomes autotune when you are in a dish position menu or when the Polarity field (Menu,7). Press ENTER to save the new information.

SELECTED MENUS:
When a menu list has more than one page to view, use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow buttons on the remote to change pages.

MASTER CLEAR PROCEDURE:
Turn the receiver off (Standby light is lit on the front of the receiver). Press and hold the MASTER CLEAR button on the rear panel. While holding the MASTER CLEAR buttonpress and release the POWER BUTTON on the front Panel. Continue holding the MASTER CLEAR button for 5-7 seconds or until the FACTORY VALUES RESTORED message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
