4.7 Program Setup
The PROGRAM menu allows the user to choose AUTO or MANUAL mode detection. If decoding a
multi-program stream then MANUAL mode offers the user the ability to choose the program to be
decoded. For TS with a single program AUTO mode is recommended. If the Transport Stream has
multiple programs and the unit is in AUTO mode, then the first program detected (from the PAT table)
is decoded.
4.7.1 Program Mode
The flow chart of the Program Setup submenu is shown in
Figure 4. Pressing ENTR will take the menu to the following screen:
The user can change the Program Mode in this submenu.
The next screen is only available in Manual mode. It will display the selected Program number and a
message if the decoder is not locked.
Note: If the unit is power cycled and it was previously set for MANUAL program detection it
remembers the specific program number it was decoding. Hence if for some reason that particular
program number is no longer present then another program number needs to be selected from the
“MANUAL PROGRAM” display in order for decoding to continue.
4.7.2 Selected Program
Selected program submenu contains information about the following PID-s: PCR, Video, Audio and
PMT. These items are displayed one line at the time and are continuously cycled until the CTRL key
is pressed.
