Sony SAT-B2 - Manual (Page 58)

58 Chapter 5: Using the Options Menu
Using the AUTO
Skip Feature When you select the AUTO button, the DSS receiver automatically
scans all the stations in the current Master Guide. During this scanning
process, the DSS receiver determines which stations you are not
authorized to watch and then sets these stations to be skipped. You can
use this feature as a starting point to creating your own list of custom
stations.
For example, if there are stations that appear in the Master Guide to
which you do not subscribe, the AUTO function automatically marks
these stations to be skipped. This saves you the trouble of having to
determine which of the 150+ stations in the Master Guide you cannot
view and then having to manually set each of these stations to be
skipped.
Note
The AUTO function does not skip pay-per-view stations.
To use the AUTO Skip feature:
1
Select CUSTOM STATIONS from the Options Menu.
2
Select the AUTO button.
The DSS receiver begins to evaluate all the stations in the Master
Guide, and displays a status bar, similar to the following.
Note
This process may take a few minutes to complete.
When the DSS receiver is finished scanning, the station list
reappears, with checkmarks (
) beside stations that are set to be
skipped.
3
Select OK to save your selections. Or select additional stations to be
skipped or unskipped.
Note
You may want to re-run the Auto skip procedure periodically in case your
program providers make changes or additions to their station lineups, or if you
order new program subscriptions.
STOP
SET CUSTOM STATIONS
Selecting STOP interrupts the Auto
Skip process and returns you to the
previous screen, which displays the
stations that have been set to be skipped
thus far.
