not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.

Accessories – Do not place this video product on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The video product may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any
mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use
a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart

electric shock.

MSD5000 Satellite Operating Guide 3

Important Safeguards

Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the video
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NAPA
No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See the
National Electrical Code example below.

Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacements parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this
video product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have

fallen into the video product.

C. If the video product has been exposed to

rain or water.

D. If the video product does not operate

normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the
video product to its normal operation.

E. If the video product has been dropped or

the cabinet has been damaged.

F. When the video product exhibits a distinct

change in performance, this indicates a
need for service.

Safety Check – Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this video product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the video product is in proper
operating condition.

Lighting – For added protection for this video
product during a lightning storm, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the video
product due to lightning and power-line surges.

Power Lines – An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.

Servicing – Do not attempt to service this
video product yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

FCC Regulations

FCC Registration Information

Your DIRECTV equipment is registered with
the Federal Communications Commission and is
in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules
and Regulations.

Notification to the Local
Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label
indicating among other information, the FCC
Registration number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for the equipment. You must,
upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the number of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most (but not all)
areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be
certain of the number of devices you may connect
to your line as determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company.

Note: This equipment may not be used on coin
service provided by the telephone company.

Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and
therefore, you may not be able to use your own
telephone equipment if you are on a party line.
Check with your local telephone company.

Rights of the Telephone
Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line
which may harm the telephone network, the
telephone company shall, where practicable, notify
you that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. Where prior notice is not practicable
and the circumstances warrant such action, the
telephone company may temporarily discontinue
service immediately. In case of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone company must (1)
promptly notify you of such temporary
discontinuance (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation and (3) inform you of your right
to bring a compliant to the Commission pursuant to
procedures set forth in Subpart E of part 68, FCC
Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations of
procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business and not inconsistent with
FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are
expected to affect the use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone company
must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow
you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Radio Interference

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device
in accordance with the specification in Part 15 of
FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide
reasonable protection against radio and television
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception (which you can determine by
unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

o

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
(that is, the antenna for radio or television
that is “receiving” the interference).

o

Change the position of the DIRECTV satellite
receiver with respect to the radio or television
equipment that is receiving interference.

o

Move the DIRECTV satellite receiver
away from the equipment that is
receiving interference.

o

Plug the DIRECTV satellite receiver into a
different wall outlet so that the DIRECTV
satellite receiver and the equipment receiving
interference are on different branch circuits.

On Screen Programming

What is On-Screen Programming

You have probably heard this term many times, but you may not be
really familiar with what it means. Simply, On-Screen Programming
makes it easier for you to do the things you want without having to
read through lots of information. Just press a button on your remote,
read the screen, and select what you want. It’s that easy!

For example, lets say you want to know what’s on tonight. You
could get your daily newspaper or TV magazine, find the r ight
section or day, and then try to find the program you want. Or, you
could just turn your TV and DIRECTV system on, take your remote,
and press G. Every program available from your service
provider can be displayed on-screen. You just scan through the
easy-to-read program guide.

If you see something you want to watch, but want to know more
about it or who is in it, just press
show, its time, who’s in it, and its rating immediately displays. Your
MSD5000 will save you time and make choosing what you want as
simple as pressing a button.

How It Works: Highlighting and Selecting

You’re probably thinking it’s going to take a long time to learn this,
right? Well, if you’ll remember one simple tip — Highlight and
Select. Y ou’ll be an expert as soon as you point your remote at your
DIRECTV system! There are only a few buttons on your remote
that you’ll need to learn, and you’ll have mastered, “Highlight
and Select."

The Arrow Keys and Select

On your remote there are five keys grouped together which allow
you to quickly choose any on-screen item:
just press the arrow keys to highlight an item you want on a screen.
Once something is highlighted, press Sto choose it. Selecting
an item tells your receiver to go ahead and make the change you’ve
indicated. That’s it! That’s all there is to On-Screen Programming. If
you want to move the highlight up, press the:key. To move the
highlight down, press the;key. Each time you press a key, the
on-screen highlight moves in the direction of the arrow. When
you’ve highlighted what you want, press S.

and S.You

MSD5000 Satellite Operating Guide 13

On Screen Programming

Direct Entry Method

Paging through Menus

To make it even faster to highlight certain choices, some items on a
screen are numbered, such as Menu Items or Channels. To
highlight a numbered item, press the number on your remote’s
keypad. When the number is entered, the highlight moves directly
to the entry and selects it. This is a big help if, for example, your
changing channels.

Let’s say you pressed G and the on-screen Program Guide is
displayed. Now you have highlighted channel 202 but you want to
skip to Channel 740. You could press the down arrow;and scroll
through many channels to get there or just press 7, 4, 0 on
the keypad and the on-screen highlight would move directly to
Channel 740. This is helpful time-saver is referred to as the “Direct
Channel Entry.”

One of the great things
about the DIRECTV
system is there are lots
and lots of programs!
But, they can’t always fit
on one screen, so you
may see a guide with
arrows pointing off the
screen or a “window
indicator.” These
indicators just mean
there is more to see.

Favorite Profiles

Storing Favorites

Favorites

By now you probably know there are many channels, but you may
not want to look through all the different channels to find the
programs you like best. Favorites provides the opportunity for you
to store 10 of your most watched channels in an easy access guide.

Now instead a paging through all the channels in the Program
Guide, you can simply select one of the six different Favorite
Guides and immediately find what you like to watch.

There are 6 different profiles in Favorites which each store up to 10
of your favorite channels. Each profile can be given a different
name, so everyone in your family can have there own “Favorites”
guide. Or you can set up different categories like Sports, Movies,
News, etc, and then store different channels in each category.
When you recall the Sports Favorites, for example, all of your
favorite sports channels will be displayed for you.

To set up a profile in Favorites, you must display the Favorite
Store Screen.

Note When you recall the Favorite Store screen the first time, there are

no profiles stored, so the Favorites Store screen displays. This
allows you to setup the names of your profiles.

Selecting a Theme

Themes

By selecting Themes you can create guides where the programs
are grouped together according to specific categories. For example,
you could select all the channels which broadcast Sports. This is
similar to Favorites except your guide will list all the channels
related to sports instead of ten of your favorite channels.

Suppose you are really just interested in Football and Baseball.
Well you can narrow the themes to more specific sub-categories.
Your guide will contain all the sports channels you receive that are
broadcasting either Football or Baseball. You don’t even have to
look at a TV magazine or Newspaper to find out what’s on. All you
have to do is press a few buttons, and the information you want will
display right on your screen.

To select and display a Theme guide, follow these steps:

1. Press T on your
