Introduction

WELCOME!

Congratulations on your selection of this satellite television system. Thank you for your purchase. You will be pleased with the performance, capabilities, entertainment options, and ease of operation of your system for many years to come. Your system complies with MPEG II and DVB standards for compressing audio and video data. Your system also features an advanced new recording technology called D-VHS, which records digital MPEG II satellite signals as digital data. This means that the system will be compatible with new technologies in consumer electronic products as they arrive on the market, including DVD Video Disc players and data communication networks.

FOR MORE INFORMATION:

To subscribe to programming, or for assistance with installing or using the system, call the DISH Network Service Center at 1-800-333-3474, or see the DISH Network's home page at http://www.dishnetwork.com on the World Wide Web.

For warranty service, or for information about the features and operation of the HMDSR100DU/RU call JVC at 1-800-252-5722.

For more information on JVC products, see JVC's home page at http://www.jvc.com on the World Wide Web.

HIGHLIGHTS

You have purchased the most advanced, easy-to-use satellite dish system available today. Here is a list of some of the features that make this system powerful, yet simple enough for anyone to use:

Bit Stream (D-VHS) Recording:

which records digital satellite broadcasts as digital signals, so programs can be recorded "as is" with no loss of quality.

IRR (Integrated Receiver-Recorder):

referred to as "recorder" in this manual, is actually an integrated unit which has a satellite receiver, VHF/UHF receiver, and video recorder (VHS and D-VHS formats) built in. This all-in-one design greatly simplifies set-up and operation of the unit.

Easy Timer Programming:

to look through all the programs currently being broadcast by DISH Network even lets the user program the built-in VCR's timer to record any program on the list by choosing it.

UHF/IR Universal Remote Control :

control the recorder from another room, or even from another floor in the building. The IR remote uses infrared light to control the TV, audio components, and other compatible equipment.

Local TV Link:

devices to select between the satellite channels and your local broadcast channels. Now you can attach the TV antenna or cable line directly and access those channels using the

Program Guide, the same way you access satellite channels.

In the past you had to compromise quality, or use external switching

ABOUT SATELLITE TELEVISION

Satellite television uses satellites orbiting in geosynchronous orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. "Geosynchronous" means that the satellites stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth. Once your satellite antenna is aimed at the satellites, the antenna does not have to move to follow the satellites. The programming signal is transmitted to the satellites from a facility on the ground called the "Uplink Center." The satellites then transmit the signal to your antenna. The signal your system receives is customized for you based on the programming or information services you have ordered. To receive network services, you must have a satellite antenna and receiver installed that are compatible with the network.

To order pay per view programs using your system, you must connect the recorder to an active telephone connection. The recorder stores information on your pay per view purchases, and transmits this information to the Service Center every few days.

Introduction

About D-VHS

ABOUT D-VHS

The "D" in D-VHS represents Digital Data. As this name suggests, D-VHS is an extension of the world's most popular VHS home video format, which adds new digital recording (storage) capabilities that make it an ideal match for digital broadcasts. Like VHS, D-VHS is a tape-based format. Unlike VHS, D-VHS records digital signals as a digital bit stream (data) which is compatible with the MPEG II and DVB standards utilized by your satellite system. Since digital data is stored "as is", there is no loss of quality compared to the original satellite broadcast. D-VHS also offers high capacity, enabling "storage" of up to 5 hours of recorded material per cassette. And since you will want to continue enjoying all of the regular VHS tapes you've recorded or accumulated, the D-VHS also offers conventional analog (VHS) recording and playback in addition to digital. The relationship between type of broadcast, cassette used, and resulting recording is as follows:

Broadcast

Digital Satellite Digital Satellite Local Local

Notes:

l Recording on Super VHS tape:

Make sure you turn the "D-VHS" recording mode off if you intend to record a digital satellite recording on a S-VHS cassette. We recommend that you only record digital "bit stream" signals on D-VHS cassettes.

Playing back D-VHS recording made on other D-VHS VCRs:

D-VHS recordings made on other VCRs may not playback on your JVC VCR. This is because other D-VHS VCRs may record satellite signals from a system that is not compatible with your DVB/MPEG II DISH system.

UNIQUE ALL-IN-ONE DESIGN

In addition to the two-way D-VHS/VHS capabilities of the built-in VCR, the recorder offers expanded viewing options with simplified operation thanks to the two built-in tuners. Incorporated into the recorder unit are a satellite receiver for satellite broadcast reception, and a VHF/UHF tuner for local broadcast reception. This all-in-one design serves to simplify the connections necessary for installation, and makes recording and viewing operations easier too.

IF YOU ARE INSTALLING YOUR SYSTEM YOURSELF

If you are installing your system yourself, Chapters 6 and 7 describe how to unpack and install the antenna and recorder. There is also an optional installation kit available. To buy the installation kit, contact the location where you purchased your system or call the Service Center. See What You Need on page 6-6 for more information.

ABOUT THE UHF REMOTE CONTROL

The UHF remote sends ultra-high frequency radio signals to a UHF antenna that is connected to the back of the recorder. Because UHF signals travel through solid objects, you can use the remote to control the recorder from another room, or even from another floor in the building. The remote uses IR(Infrared) signals to control certain other equipment (see explanation below).

UHF REMOTE ADDRESS

Because the UHF remote operates from such a long range, there may be conflicts if there are other recorders in the vicinity, also operated by UHF remote controls.

To handle this problem, you can set up the remote so that it sends a unique "address" whenever it sends a signal to the recorder. You set up the recorder so that it looks for that address when it receives a signal, and ignores any signals that do not have that address. If you do this, the recorder recognizes signals only from the correct remote. You may choose from 15 different addresses.

You can also install an attenuator at the UHF Remote Antenna connection on the recorder back panel. This reduces the sensitivity of the recorder to UHF signals, so it responds only to signals from your remote. For instructions on these procedures, see Setting the Remote Address on page 3-2. For instructions on installing an attenuator, see Reducing UHF Remote Control Range on page 4-41.

You may have to reset the address whenever you change the batteries in the remote.

IR CONTROL OF OTHER COMPONENTS

The IR remote uses infrared light to control the TV, audio components, and other compatible equipment, instead of UHF radio signals. You must point the remote directly at the component, with no solid objects in the way.
