Programming the Remote Control

The remotecontrol is set at the factoryto control all of the satellite receiver functions, but touseit to operateyour TV, VCR and auxiliary components as well, you must "program" it for the brand you own. Follow these instructions to program the remote to control your TV, VCR and auxiliary (AUX) components.
1. Turn on the connected c omponent for programming.
2. Use the table thatappears later in this section to find the brand of TV, VCR or auxiliary component.

6. When the light flashes, key in the first of the three-digit codes (listed in the table) for your component using the number keys on the remote control. Make sure to do this accuratelyand without a long delay.If programming the AUX key for a satellite receiver use one of the following SAT codes: 000, 001, 002, or 003.
7. If the remote control "accepts" the code, you will see several rapid flashes of the light. If it does not flash, repeat steps 4, 5 and 6. After the remote control acceptsthe code, press the POWER key on the remote control to make sure the remote control is able to turn your component off. This m eans it is functioning properly.
8. If your component does not respond to the remote control POWER key, even though it has "accepted" the manufacturer’s code, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 using the s econd three-digit code from the table. If this does not work, try the third code, etc., until the remote control accepts the code and your component respondsto the POWER key.
NOTE: Some cable box brands are also programmable using these instructions. Check the table that appearslater in this section for applicable cable box brands and codes.You will presstheTVkeytoprogram your cable box. Your remote can only accept a TV or cable box code for this programming step.

- Pause>long blink "1;"
- Pause>short blink "0;"
- Pause>long blink, long blink, long blink, long blink, long blink"5."
A zero in the code will always be represented by a short blink.
4. For the AUX mode only, after the code is verified the appropriate
mode key will blink to indicate the component being controlled.

If You Have More Than One Satellite Receiver

If you have more than one satellite receiver,you may want to prevent the remote controlsfromaffecting the other receivers. To prevent this kind of interference, you must"pair" eachremote controlwithone receiver. In order to do this,you will have to assign a new "address" to each pair of remote controls and receivers so that each pair functions independently of the others.If you have two or more receivers, see Chapter 10 for information about the procedure for changing addresses.

Guidelines for Installing the System Yourself

If you donothire a professional to install your satellite dishandreceiver, thereare some basic procedures that you should follow. You should also refer to any information that was provided with your purchase about the dish, mounting hardware, and specific adjustments to make for your geographic location.

Equipment YouMay Need

We recommend using the following tools:
• Drill and various drill bits
• Wrenches
• Screwdrivers
• Compass
• Plumb line and bubble level
• Signal level meter
• You will also need the information suppliedwithyour system.
• The telephone number for the company that provides your programming
subscription
• The channel map download channel
• The authorization channel
DSR405 User Guide 17

• Instructions on how toproperly adjust your satellite dish for your geographic
location:
- How to adjust the "hands-of-the-clock" position of the LNBF (feedhorn) on your satellite dish
- How to adjust the elevation setting for your satellite dish
- How to adjust the compass direction settingfor your satellite dish

Assemble and Mount the Satellite Dish

It is important to followall localbuilding and electricalcodes and avoid contact with any power lines, lights, and power circuits when you install the satellite dish.
• Place the satellite dish within 25m (75 ft.) of the receiver if possible.
• Make sure the dish will have a clear line of sight to the satelliteall year round. Refer to the information supplied withyoursystem for the elevationand compass direction.
• Note the locationofnearby buildings, fences,trees, and futuretreegrowth that will interfere with a clear line-of-sight between the satellite dish and satellite.
• Avoidlocations exposed to highwind,soot or ashesfrom a chimneyorvent, or locations where people, vehicles, or animals will jostle the dish.
• Mount the dish on a solid, stable surface ifyoudonotmount it on a metal pole cemented securely into the ground. The satellitedish must be in a true, upright positionthat is perpendicular to the ground in all directions.
• Make sure you have easy, safe, year-round access to the mounting location.
• Make sure to properly ground the dish and coaxial cable.
Assembleandmountthedishaccordingtoinstructions.
Overview of Pointing the Satellite Dish
The receiver uses signals that are broadcastfrom a satellite located in a stationary orbit 22,500 miles above the equator. It is important to accurately point your satellite dishatt he satelliteor you maylosethe signal during inclementweather or when minor interference is present. When you point the satellite dish, you will be concernedwithup to three kinds of adjustments dependingupon your geographic location:
• First, if your satellite transmits signals eitherhorizontally or vertically, you must adjust the position of the LNBF so thatit is properlyaligned to receive these horizontal or vertical signals.
• Second, adjust the elevation of the satellite dish.
• Third, adjust the compass direction.
18
Installation

Initial Adjustment to the LNBF

You will need to mount and make aninitial adjustment to thelownoiseblock feed (LNBF or feedhorn)so thatit is in the correct position for the city (or geographic location) in which you live. Refer to the information supplied with your system. While youare facing thefront of the satellite dish,mount the LNBF inthe housing as indicated in the instructionsforyour dish. If necessary, loosen the clamp screw(s).
• As you look at the LNBF,tryto think of its position in termsofthe handsof a clock.Inparticular,try to think oftheLNBF's F connector(thepoint where the wires attach) as the hour hand pointingto one of the numbers on the face of a clock. Point the LNBF as indicated in your instructions.
• Once you have correctlypointed the LNBF, tighten the LNBF clamp screw(s), but don't tighten them completely.You may need to make a slight adjustment lateron.

Initial Adjustment to the Elevation Setting

Now you will need to make an initial adjustment to the elevationsetting of the satellite dish—the distance above the horizon to which it points. Your dish­mountingbracket may have a scale marker.
• Refer to the informationsupplied with your system,and set the elevation that is appropriate for the city in which you live.
• If the information suppliedwithyoursystem does not list a city within a few miles of your location, choosethenearest city to your location. Then determinehow far you are locatedto the north or south of that city. Since the elevationsetting for your locationwillchange by approximatelyonedegree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are north or south of the equator, you can adjust the satellite dish elevation in the following way:
- Add one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles)that your location is farther away from the equator than the listed city.
- Subtract onedegreefor every 160.9km (100 miles)that yourlocation is closer to the equator than the listed city.
• Your adjustmentsmustbe accurate within one-half of a degree,which can be
as little as 1 mm (132"). So use great care in adjusting this setting.
• Once you correctly set the elevation setting, tightenthenut(s) just enough to hold the dish in place.
DSR405 User Guide 19

Initial Adjustment to the Compass Direction Setting

To make an initial adjustment to the compass orientation of the satellite:
• Use the wrench to loosen the bolt(s) so that you can turn the satellite dish on the mounting pole to change its compass direction. Then point the dish so that it faces directly south (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere) or directly north (if you are in the Southern Hemisphere).
• Refer to the information supplied with your system, and again find the compasssetting (alsocalled theazimuth)for thecity nearestto whereyoulive. It is measured in degrees.
• Turn the satellitedish so that the LNBF support is pointing to the correct degree setting. To do this, use a compass to determine the correct direction. Then mark the position for the compass setting about 5 meters (15 feet) away from the satellite dish. Point the satellite dish as accurately as possibletoward the marker.
• Choose the nearest city to your location(the sameone you chose when you adjustedthe LNBF position and the elevation). Then determine how far you are located to the east or west of that city. Since the compasssetting for your locationwillchange by approximatelyonedegree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that youareeastor west of the listed city, you can adjust the satellite dish compass setting in the following ways:
• If you are located in the Northern Hemisphere:
- If your location is east of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish clockwise by one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are eastof the listed city.
- If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish counterclockwise by one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are west of the listed city.
• If you are located in the Southern Hemisphere:
- If your location is east of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish counterclockwiseby one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are east of the listed city.
- If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish clockwise by one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are west of the listed city.
• Tighten the bolt(s) on the mounting pole enough to hold the position in place so that you can still move it a little at a time. You will fine-tune its position later.

Overview of Fine-Tuning (Peaking) the Signal

You should have the assistance of a second person to monitor the television screen whileyoucomplete the adjustments to the satellite dish in this section.
• While your assistant watches the Signal number on the Tune in Satellite Signal menu (see previous section, "Acquiringa Signal"), you will make fine-tuningadjustments to the LNBF, the elevation, and the compass setting.
• In addition to using the Signal reading, which appears on the Tune in Satellite Signal menu on your TV screen, you may wish to use an external signal level meter to verifythesignal strength while you makefine-tuning adjustments for the LNBF, elevation, and compass direction setting. As mentioned earlier, do not try to determine the strengthof the signal by judgingtheclarity of the picture on the TV. Digital receptioncannotbeadjusted in this manner.
NOTE: Asthes ignal grows stronger,thebar graph for signalstrength willbecome longer and its color will change from red to green. Also, a beeping tone will change into a monotone.

Fine-Tuning the LNBF Setting

This adjustmentisnot neededfor models with circular polarity.
• Rotate the LNBF in a clockwise direction in very small increments. Each time you move the dish wait five seconds while your assistantchecks theSignal reading. Determine where the signal begins to weaken and mark the location.
• Rotate the LNBF in a counterclockwise direction in very small increments. Wait five seconds whileyour assistant checks the Signal reading.Determine where the signal beginsto weakenand mark the location.
• The optimum position is midway between the two pointsyou marked in the previous steps. This position should providethe strongest Signal reading.
• Then move the LNBF in and out. Thereis a small adjustmentrange (1-1/2" or 4 cm) to find the best Signal reading for the LNBF.
• Tighten the LNBF clamp screw(s) so that the LNBF cannot move.

Fine-Tuning the Elevation S etting

• Raise the position of the satellite dish in very small, 1 mm (132") increments. Each timeyou move thedish, waitfive secondswhile your assistant checksthe Signal reading on the Installation Settings menu. Markthelocation where the signal beginsto weaken.
