Motorola HDPVR 630, HDDSR 605 User Manual

C. HOW TO READ THIS MANUAL

iv

1. THE BASICS

1A. CONNECTIONS AND VIDEO SETTINGS

When installing your HDDSR, 1 direct coax line is required to connect to your satellite dish or multiswitch. If you have an HDPVR, 2 direct coax lines are required. The HDPVR will have limited functionality if only 1 line is connected. If you would like us to take care of the installation, call Customer Service – we’re here 24/7 to discuss available options and help you book an appointment.

If you are unsure of how to connect your satellite receiver to your TV or home theatre system, please refer to the corresponding product manual or the directions that came with your satellite receiver.

CABLE TYPES

Note that the following cable types must be used to provide high definition (HD) picture:

COMPONENT: Look for 3 connectors on each end, coloured Green, Blue, and Red. This cable does not carry sound.

DVI-TO-HDMI: This cable allows you to connect a DVI-only device to an HDMI-only device. This cable does not carry sound.

HDMI: This cable carries both video and sound. It has a single identical connector on both ends.

The following cable types will provide Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound when connected to a capable home theatre receiver:

OPTICAL: This thin cable has a small square connector at each end.

HDMI: If supported by your home theatre receiver, you can use a single HDMI cable to connect your receiver to your home theatre system, and another HDMI cable to connect the home theatre system to the TV. Both video and sound are carried in the cable.

For the best television experience, it is recommended that you connect your HD receiver with one of the above video and audio connections.

1

VIDEO SETTINGS

After connecting your satellite receiver, taking a moment to optimize your video settings will ensure the best viewing experience. Press OPTIONS on your remote control, then enter the numbers 4, 5. The following Video Settings options will be available:

OUTPUT FORMAT: This determines the primary resolution that is used to send video to your TV. On most HDTVs, 1080i is optimal. For SDTVs, use 480i.

4X3 OVERRIDE: Turning this on will “override” the primary output format when tuned to standard definition stations. Turning on the override allows most TVs to automatically stretch SD content to fill the whole screen. If you’d prefer to control this yourself using the ASPECT button, leave it Off.

TV TYPE: This option specifies what type of TV you have. Widescreen TVs are 16x9 (such as most HDTVs); traditional square TVs (such as most SDTVs) are 4x3. Select whichever is applicable to you.

On a regular HDTV, recommended settings are 1080i, 480i, and 16x9 and will normally result in standard definition channels automatically “stretched” by your TV to fit the screen.

On an SDTV, recommended settings are 480i, Off, and 4x3 Letterbox.

Select “SAVE” and press ENTER after changing the settings and EXIT to return to live TV.

If you select an output format that is not supported by your TV, video may be lost. If this occurs, press EXIT, OPTIONS, 4, 5, and then 6 repeatedly until video returns. The selected output format will be displayed on the Front Panel of the receiver with each change.

You can use the ASPECT or B button while watching any program or recording to Stretch (“str”) or Zoom (“zoo”) the picture. You can return the aspect to Normal (“nor”) when the program has finished. The current aspect mode is shown on the front panel of your receiver each time you press the button.

2

1B. CURRENT VERSION

Pressing OPTIONS, 4, 7 will display the System Status menu. Line H shows the version of your receiver software, listed as “Current Version”. This manual applies to Current Version 00.12. Individual menus, options, or functionality may be slightly different depending on your Current Version. If you have questions about whether your receiver has the most recent version, please inquire with the Shaw Direct agent when you activate your receiver.

1C. ACTIVATING YOUR RECEIVER

Once connected, your receiver must be activated on your Shaw Direct account in order to access programming and function properly. You can reach Shaw Direct customer service anytime at 1-888-554-7827 to activate your receiver.

1D. USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

For a full list of all buttons and their function, refer to the manual that came with your remote or the Welcome Guide that came with your receiver. Throughout this manual, refer to the green table on the right side of the page to know which buttons access a particular functionality.

NAVIGATING THE ONSCREEN MENUS

The following keys will allow you to navigate through the menus on your Shaw Direct HD receiver:

right through the onscreen menus. Your current selection is always shown

available options or confirm the current selection. For example:

2

 

2. Pressing ENTER will confirm deletion of the recording schedule.

3

3

 

RIGHT arrow key will change the Screen Saver delay to 16 Minute.

 

4.

5

The CHw and CHs keys (or CH+ and CH-, depending on your remote) allow you to move through lists one page at a time. For example:

5. Pressing CHw will page up and show channels 283-290, pressing CHs will page down and show channels 314-321.

6. Pressing CHw will page up and show episodes starting with A, pressing CHs will page down and show episodes from K onwards.

6

The GO BACK key will save your changes and return to the previous menu.*

The EXIT key will save your changes in the current menu and exit all the way back to live TV.* Note that if you have made changes in intermediate menus, these may be lost by using EXIT instead of GO BACK.

All menus are “circular”, and will continue from the beginning when you reach the end of the menu.

*Within the “System Settings” menus, you must select “SAVE” to save your changes. Pressing GO BACK or EXIT will discard any changes you have made.

1E. INTERACTIVE MENU BAR

2. FINDING WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT

2A. THE GUIDE

One of the greatest features of your Shaw Direct digital satellite TV is the onscreen interactive program Guide. With the Guide, you can instantly see what’s airing right now and into the future, on every channel you subscribe to!
