channel. This message is not displayed if the DSR-4530 was not already acquired to a
virtual channel (e.g., when setting up the DSR-4530 for future operation).
• Virtual channels also identify satellite and polarity attributes. The RF input
ports are set up with satellite and polarity attributes. For more details, see "Port
Menu" (described on page 20).
The DSR-4530 uses these satellite and polarity attributes to determine which
RF port to use. However, if the user selects a virtual channel that does not match
the satellite and polarity attributes of either port, then the DSR-4530 is unable to
determine which port to use and the following caution message is displayed.
CAUTION: Channel 0000 not on RF input
Press E to continue or
Press any arrow button ( 3456 ) to back out of the field and leave it
unchanged.
Note: The DSR-4530 cannot decode the chosen virtual channel until a port is set
up with the applicable satellite and polarity information.
This non-editable field displays the current (Xpndr) transponder name (alpha/
numeric) that is downloaded. The DSR-4530 displays dashes (--) when transponder
information is not available.
Note: If the user selects a virtual channel that is not in the chosen VCT, then a
caution message, "Not in map" is displayed to the right of the virtual channel.
