Chnl Field
The Chnl (Channel) field allows selection of the virtual channel for the output
service. Channels that exist in the Virtual Channel Map appear within parentheses,
for example (346). The DSR-4550 supports channel values from 0000 to 9999.
Press the
4
button until the cursor is at the Chnl label, and press the ENTER
button to move into the field. While ensuring that the cursor remains on the up/
down symbol, press the

buttons to scroll throughout the available virtual
channels.
Note: If the chosen VCT contains twenty-four virtual channels, then only twenty-
four virtual channels appear in this field.
Press the ENTER button to confirm the selection and exit the field.
There is also a second method for entering the virtual channel. Use the
4
buttons
to select the digit to change and then, while the cursor is on that digit, press the

buttons to select the desired value. Repeat this process for each applicable digit to be
changed. Press the ENTER button to confirm the selection and exit the field.
CAUTION MESSAGES: When selecting/changing the Chnl field, the DSR-4550
displays caution messages under the following three conditions:
• A warning message is displayed when the user changes from a virtual channel
to a MPEG program number.
Press any arrow button (
4
) to back out of the field and leave it
unchanged. Otherwise, press the ENTER button to proceed.
• If the user selects a virtual channel that is not in the chosen VCT, then a
message, “Not in map” is displayed to the right of the virtual channel.
Then, if the user presses the ENTER button again, another caution message is
displayed indicating that the selected channel does not exist.
