Secret Menu

[jrcorado]

Hello

I need help accessing the secret menu on an old Sony SD receiver. I need to put the receiver in stacked mode. The receiver's access card is inserted in the rear of the receiver. Please help.

Thanks

And what is a model name of it ?
How you got the requirement ?
Is is for band-stacked LNBF ?

Maybe a Google search on the model number will get the info.

Sometimes ppl doing such things blindly without any knowledge why should be done.

Okay, I'm back

I tried a google search and found no information.

The receivers are Sony SAT-B50.

The antenna is a round single dish with a stacked LNB.

There are 3 receivers that were installed 7 years ago that are only detecting odd transponders.

there 2 receivers that work fine, same make and model.

Please only reply if you want to help

Here's the PDF for the operating instructions.

He's need a "SECRET" menu - not the lamer manual.

I'll try to setup same IRD and check if I recall correctly the commands.

Just for my curiosity - what exactly model of stacked LNBF your round dish have ?

I didn't read through that PDF. I just assumed (wrongly) that there may have been a hint in it.

Actually I found the tip here using keywords "sony b50 hidden menu". I see the menu on the same B50; now time to test if it will help you.
