D9223 Factory Reset Instructions

How to Perform a Factory Software Reset on Your
Scientific Atlanta PowerVu 9223
Commercial Satellite Integrated Receiver Decoder

A factory reset is available from the front panel of your PowerVu receiver. Use this procedure for resetting the receiver to the factory default settings. WARNING: When executed, the current receiver settings are replaced by the default settings. This procedure should be used only at the request of the ARCS Technical Support office. You will need to "unlock" the PowerVu before this procedure, and then re-program it to receive ARCS following the reset. (See "ARCS PowerVu Programming)

The factory reset is an ALT mode function. In other words, you use the ALT button located at the lower left hand corner of the PowerVu keypad.

Step 1. Press the ALT once to change from normal receiver operation to ALT Mode. The ALT light flashes off and on continuously.

Step 2. Press the CHAN and CHAN buttons simultaneously. The front panel displays, "do?".

Step 3. Press the YES button to initiate the Factory Reset (pressing any other key aborts the action).

Once initiated, a Factory Reset CAN NOT be interrupted or reversed.

The front panel will display, "CLr" for several seconds, then it will display, "InIt" for several more, then go black, then display four dashes - - - - and finally display a single blinking dot. The Factory Reset is now complete. Press the STANDBY button and the front panel will display a zero. Now you may proceed with programming the receiver.
