The Drake 1024/1224 features a 30-channel priority view memory, both C-Band and Ku-Band compatible, up to 36 programmable satellites, stereo audio outputs, the ability to lock out up to 10 channels, UHF remote (1224), Infrared remote (1024) and on-screen display (1224 only).

1. Go to a satellite that is next to or near to the satellite to be programmed.

2. Select a channel that is active on the satellite that is to be programmed and on the satellite that you are starting from.

3. Follow the proper procedure:

-If you are starting from a satellite with the same format, then tap EAST or WEST until a different picture or black screen appears.

-If you are starting from a satellite with the opposite format, then tap EAST or WEST until the picture is gone, then press FORMAT twice to reverse the format. If a picture does not appear, then continue moving east or west until a picture or black screen appears.

4. Verify that the picture is correct. If it is, then go to step 5. Otherwise, continue moving east or west until the correct satellite is found.

5. After finding the correct satellite go into program mode: Press CHANNEL UP and POWER on the front of the receiver at the same time until the channel display starts blinking or there is some writing on the screen. If it flashes PL or it displays a parental lock is on, then press PARENTAL to turn off the parental lock.

6. Press SAT one time. To reprogram a satellite: Use LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW to scroll through the names until the desired satellite is found. To program a new satellite: Press SAT until the desired letter appears, then press NUM until the desired number appears. If the picture is in and the name is correct go to step 7.

**Possible problem** - The picture disappears after naming the satellite.

What to do. Make sure it says C-band or the C band light is on, if not press C/KU. If this does not bring the picture back, press FORMAT twice to reverse the polarity. If the picture is in, then go to step 7.

7. Press ENTER when the name and picture are correct. The satellite name will blink or a box will flash beside the satellite name to signify that it was stored.

8. Press POWER to exit the menus. Press it again to turn it back on if necessary.

9. This completes the programming process.

The parental lock is controlled by the remote control and there is no password. The remote control needs to be secured or hidden if the parental locked out channels are not to be viewed. This means if you do not have the remote and the parental lock is on, then you cannot use the receiver to see the channels that are locked out.

1. Check to see if the Parental Lock light on the front of the receiver is on or off.

2. Any channel that is in the lockout list will be a black when the lock is on and will have a decimal beside the channel number. If the lock is off the channel will be viewable even if it is in the lockout list.

3. To turn the lock on or off, press PARENTAL.

4. To add or delete channels to or from the list follow the procedure below.

1. Make sure the Parental Lock light is off.

2. Move to the satellite that has the channel(s) to be locked out.

3. Enter program mode: Press CHANNEL UP and POWER and the display should blink or a menu will be displayed.

4. Press PARENTAL to enter the Parental Programming mode.

5. Use CHANNEL UP/DOWN to select the channel to be unlocked or locked out.

6. Press ENTER to add it to the lock out list or CANCEL to remove it from the lock out list.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for additional channels on the selected satellite only.

8. Press POWER to exit the menus. Press it again to turn it back on if necessary.

1. Press CHANNEL UP and POWER on the front of the receiver at the same time until the channel display starts blinking or there is some writing on the screen. If it flashes PL or it displays a parental lock is on, then press PARENTAL to turn off the parental lock.

2. Press SAT to select the satellite to be erased.

3. If the desired satellite name is not on the screen, then select the desired satellite by pressing SAT then NUM or by using LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW.

4. Press CANCEL to delete the satellite from memory. The display will show either two dashes or flash a box on the screen.

5. Press POWER to exit the menus. Press it again to turn it back on if necessary.

1. Press SAT then NUM until the desired name appears in the display.

2. After 3 seconds the dish will move to the satellite.

1. To move to the next satellite, press SAT then immediately press EAST or WEST to move to the next satellite in that direction.

1. Press or hold EAST or WEST to manually move the dish until the desired satellite name appears in the display.
