PREFACE

INTRODUCTION

The EchoStar User Interface is a family of user interfaces which are dedicated for a specific range of satellite receivers. Every satellite receiver is equipped with different options. Some options are related to the EchoStar User Interface, others are related to physical options as Common Interface slots, Embedded reader, display or not, etc.

Please note that this user manual contains the information for the most comprehensive model. Sometimes you f ind that an op tio n is no t ava ila ble on you r rece iv er whic h me ans t hat you can ignore the related descriptions and instructions. Please refer to the specifications of your receiver to find the available options that are present in your model.

DOCUMENTATION

This user manual is part of the documentation set that comes with your EchoStar satellite receiver. The documentation set contains the user manuals:

■ User Manual - Receiver Description;

■ User Manual - EchoStar User Interface - Fixed.

Sometimes you can also find a Manual update which describes the last minute changes to either the receiver itself or the EchoStar User Interface which are not described in the user manuals that come with your EchoStar satellite receiver.

INTENDED USE

The receiver is intended to be installed for private domestic use. This receiver has not been designed for other types of usage (including but not limited to commercial or head-end installations), therefore EchoStar Internation al Corpo ration makes no warranties with res pec t to product performance or reliability in such installations.

This documentati on set is int end ed for a nyone who use s an Ec hoStar satel lit e receive r. It can be used by both first-ti me and ex perienced users of sate llite rece ivers who w ant to in stall, use and maintain their receiver.

This user manual gives an explanation and an instruction on the use of the EchoStar user

interface and is divided into separate sections and chapters. For easy access to the information, a clear table of content and an index are provided.

Preface

INITIAL INST ALLATION

Initial Installation

1. INTRODUCTION

The satellite receiver is pre-programmed with the FTA channels for ASTRA1 and HOTBIRD as know during the manufacturing of the receiver. Note that it is possible to update the channel lists easily, for a detailed instruction, please refer to installation update. The preprogrammed channels ar e only for use in a single fixed dish installation with a so called universal LNB. If your i nstallation is dif ferent some extra progra mm in g needs to be done. For a detailed instruction, please refer to the Guided setup.

2. NAVIGATION

The EchoS t ar U s er Int erfa ce h as various w ays to nav iga te th roug h th e me nus and fun cti ons . Some of the keys on the remote control unit give direct access to functions. Important keys are identified as EPG, colored keys, MENU, OK and EXIT. Other keys are multi-functional which means that their function can change with the selections you make.

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified; this note explains the navigation through the menus and functions. In the main, user and EPG menu:

1. the MENU key lets you access to the main menu or go back one menu level;

2. the EXIT key lets you leave a menu or selection and return directly to live;

3. the keys let you scroll up and down through the selectable items;

4. the keys let you scroll left and right through the selectable items;

5. The OK key lets you:

- confirm an d execute a selection;

- open a pull-down menu.

In a pull-down menu:

1. the OK key lets you confirm the selection;

2. the highlighted cursor indicates the active selection.

English

3. TO INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER FOR THE FIRST TIME

This section assumes that the dish installation is completed and operational and your

receiver is connected to your TV and other equipment with suitable cables. Note that your receiver is pre-programmed for a fixed dish installation with a universal LNBF. If you have

another dish installation (multiple LNBs or motorized), additional settings are required.

NOTE

For receivers that are connected with an UHF cable, make sure that the TV is set to UHF channel 38 (607.25Mhz). If the channel number on the TV and receiver are not the same, you will have a distorted or no image at all. For more information, please refer to the user manual of the TV.

NOTE

For receivers that are connected with a SVHS cable, make sure that the audio to the TV is connected with either the S/PDIF or the AUDIO L/R connector. For more information, please refer to the user manual of the TV/VCR.

NOTE

From the next step onwards, the procedure is divided in different installation procedures. The given procedures are; Fixed, Multiple LNBs, DiSEqC1.2 and GoTo X.

■ Fixed means install a single dish with an Universal LNB;

■ Multiple LNBs means install a dish with multiple LNBs or multiple dishes;

■ DiSEqC1.2 means install a moveable dish according the DiSEqC1.2 spec;

■ GoTo X means install a moveable dish that is GoTo X compatible.

PID MPEG-2 transmits the audio and video information in so-called

several functions of the receiver to prevent unauthorized persons (children) to view broadcasts that are not suitable for them. The use of the Parental control requires a PIN-code. With this PINcode you can change or unlock the locked channels.
