When I turn off unit, I loose all programmed channels. Have to reboot & reprogram. I keep unit powered all the time to keep channels. Is this normal?

I dont turn mine off. Since ive had it its only been powered down once because the power went out and I did not loose found channels or have to reprogram. I would conntact manufacturer or google the make model and issue.

When I first got my unit it happend to me several times, then I realize that it was my menu. Make sure you settings are correct on your TV menu, check and make sure your Antenna box is checked and not the cable box on your menu. What I have learned is that when you have a Box connected to your TV, you need to only use the BOXES remote not the one for the tv. I only turn on the TV with that remote, from that point on I only use the Converter box remote. I stopped having that problem when I when to that method.

It's not normal as far as I know. My turn mine off and on all the time and never lose my channels.

Unfortunately the default setting is "off" for these devices. Meaning once the wall unit is plugged in or every time the power goes out and comes back on, you will manually have to turn the device back on with the remote or button on the unit. And there's no way to change this setting unless you take apart the unit and reprogram it. It's a huge flaw with the unit. Otherwise it would be perfect.

The unit is not programed for the remote. They are matched up so loss of power does not affect it. It works right out of the box!

The on/off switch does just that. When its engaged it overrides the station you picked it to and plays what ever is connected to it through that station. When off that station is back to normal. Very few stations use the preset channels on the device however. If you don't turn it off you will likely have static on other stations due to the units power capabilities

I had the same question, after installing the unit i turned off all power for 5 minutes then back on. Nothing changed, it did not lose its program when i did this. I hope this helps you. With all thing electric if there is no power nothing will work. My remote did not change nor did the push button. I did not install a key pad so i cant answer that part of the question.

There is no reset. The only thing I can suggest is to do a hard reset,by unplugging unit from the wall and waitting for 30 seconds. and then plugging in back in. If no help call Channel Master.Channel Master 1(877)746-7261

When we first purchased ours, it 'remembered' the channels. Now it loses them - every time. I think we have a lemon, and I will likely ask for a replacement. Other reviewers have complained about this, saying the factory told them it was 'designed that way.' I truly doubt that. First, because it didn't behave that way out of the box. Second, why would you be able to specify which channels to show/hide? And third, why would you be able to specify a favorite channel? It just makes no sense. I wish I could figure out how to reset it somehow. I think this is a nonvolatile memory issue. I will do some more internet research to see if anyone has a solution, but none has occurred to me yet.

Though I have not used this machine for radio setting, I just tested mine after reading your question. I preset several stations,turned it off, also unplugged and tested to see if the preset stations came back, and both times it did. Maybe I am lucky.

Whenever the unit gains power back it defaults to a power on state, which if memory serves right just turns on the last built in macro of the unit that you were using the last time it got powered off. Hope this helps.

Try pushing the buttons to the right of the inputs. One controls the input and the other controls the number of channels the device outputs. I hope this helps, otherwise your device is probably doa

This all depends on what power source you hook it up to. If it's a constant source it will stay on the same channel. If it's a fuse that shuts off when the car shuts off it will default to ch19 when turned back on. But as long as the car is running and you turn it of and back on it should stay on the same channel. Hope that helps.

I apologize for this inconvenience. It may help to re-scan for channels by: disconnecting the antenna, scanning for channels, unplugging the TV from the electrical outlet for 1 minute, reconnecting the antenna and plugging the TV back into the outlet, then re-scanning the TV once again.

With the unit turned off , unplug the base unit power plug for one minute . It helped mine reset itself .

This is Phillip, I really like the 2-- ways When you push and hold the lock key it will beep and from that point on it will not go from one channel to another, it stays on the channel you chose or had it on before you locked it. You can unlock it and change channels whenever you like. It kind of helps you to not have to keep going back to the channel you find works best for you. Hope this helps a little Have a good one Phillip E from Pauls Valley Ok
