MASTER CLEAR PROCEDURE:
Turn the receiver off. Press and hold the MASTER CLEAR button on the receiver's rear panel. While holding the MASTER CLEAR button turn the receiver ON using the POWER BUTTON on the front panel.

PROGRAMMING A SATELLITE:
Adding & modifying satellite names from the defaults in memory: Default satellite names and formats cannot be changed from the factory settings. New satellite names can be added using any of the formats in the receiver.
The CR10 has satellite T4 stored as a Ku satellite. This format cannot be changed to make the satellite C-Band. Satellite G9 is not stored in the receiver database and can be added as C-Band. Once a satellite is added, it
needs to be programmed into memory using Program Satellites in Menu 4. As an example we'll program the GE-1 (W1) satellite.

• Move to G4/06, confirm the picture as Shepard's Chapel. Press MENU then 7 (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. You should now be
  in the SAT DEFINITION menu.
• SATELLITE G4 should be displayed in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Use the UP or DOWN ARROWS on the remote, move the cursor to ADD NEW SATELLITE and press ENTER. You should see the message ENTER NEW SAT NAME appear. On the remote control press W, then 1. Press ENTER. The message SATELLITE UPDATED will appear.
• Press MENU followed by the number 4. The cursor should be pointing at PROGRAM-SAT POSITION. Press ENTER. The dish position menu will appear. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to scroll the list of satellites until you find the New satellite W1. Use the RIGHT ARROW and move the dish to the West to locate Satellite W1. Use the Autopeak button to help tune for the best picture. Adjust the dish position East or West for best picture. Press ENTER to save the new information.

RENAME A SATELLITE
On this receiver, Chaparral advises against renaming a satellite that is already defined (created). The best thing would be to just erase the satellite and then create it from scratch as shown above.

The chart below lists the default satellites that are in the CR10's memory.
N = Normal (Odd channels are Verticle polarity, R = Reverse (Odd channels are Horizontal polarity)

 

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.

TUNING ADJUSTMENTS:
To adjust the Dish Position, skew (Polarity), Frequency, TI Filter, BB Out or Video Inversion of the satellite press MENU then 5 (SAT / CHAN SETUP). Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS on the remote to move the on-screen arrow to the
field that needs adjusted. Then use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS buttons on the remote to actually do the adjustment. Press ENTER to store the change.
