Step by Step guide for the sd card!!!

Format SD Card:
First, you must place the SD Card into the pansat receiver go to main menu and select “SD Memory” and the pansat receiver will format your card into three directories.a) CH Data (Channel lists) b) Code (Working bins) and c) MP3 (music). Then, Remove the card from your pansat receiver.
Saving On To SD Card:
To save working bins or channel lists on to the SD Card, Find a good channel list for the sats you have and then use (Channel Master) or the pansat 3500 (Channel Editor), To modify the list to best suit your needs. In other words, you should likely modify the locals and/ or the favorite lists.(Note: Don’t forget to get the latest versions of the stated programs)
Top Box Settings (channel Master):
Once you have modify the channel list, or even before, make sure the list is configured to your specific receiver. In Channel Master, you can do this by either right clicking the mouse button on the sat or favorite lists within the window content, or click the (Edit) on the tab bar and scroll down and click properties. In the pop up , select the project type(ie: Pansat 2700a, Pansat 3500) and hit okay to exit. Now you have a channel list suited for your pansat. You can use this file and download into your receiver via com port (Null Cables) as is. However, if you want to use your SD Card, you must convert the channel master document into a “Bin Format”.
Saving The Channel List On To Your SD Card:
Insert your SD Card into your Card Reader from your computer. In order for the “Receiver” to recognize the file on your “SD Card” it must first be converted into a “BIN” format. To do this, go to file on the tab menu in the “Channel Master” program and scroll down to “Save As”. A pop up directory will appear. Now locate the “CH Data” directory for your SD Card in the drive of your card reader(ie: removable drive G). Name your file and then use the scroll down button as to your file type. Select Bin Channel Files (*.bcf, *bin). Wait. This is very important!! Whatever you named your file, add the extension bin before saving For Example: the full file name should look like this ” Jan15CMList.bin” Now click and save your bin channel file will be downloaded into your “SD Card” via the card reader.
(The pansat channel editor does not seem to have the ability to convert the channel list into a bin file.Hopefully updates will allow this conversion in the channel editor)

SD Card To Receiver:
Now take your SD Card with the bin file and plug it into your SD Slot of your receiver. Go to main menu.. and click and the “SD Memory”. A pop up should appear with the three directories” ie: a) Ch Data (channel lists) b) Code (working bins) and C) MP3 (music). Click on “CH Data” and select your newly created channel list bin file.Uploading will now occur when complete, (receiver should shut off when finished) exit program!!

Backing Up Working Bins and Channel Lists to SD Card:
For backing up a Channel list for example: Select “CH Data Backup” and hit the “RED BUTTON” at the bottom of the remote, A pop up will come up to confirm,”Select Yes”. Then use the next pop up to name your file (Ps I believe you can only use a maximum of 7 letters or numbers to name file). Once this is done, hit your OK button and the download screen will appear and download info to your SD Card. After download is complete, exit out. You can do the same thing for the working bins. Just place the backup under “Code Backup” do the same procedure as you did with the channel backup.
