Telephone Company Procedures

In order for your telephone company t o provide service to you, it
may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their
equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes affect your
service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company
should give you notice, in writing, to allow you to ma k e any
changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how
many pieces of equipme nt you can connect to it, your telephone
company should provide this information upon request.

In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for your telephone
company to request information from you concerning the
equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon
request of your telephone company, provide the FCC registrat ion
number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the
equipment which is connected to your line; both of these items are
listed on the equipment label. The sum of all the REN’s on your
telephone line should be less than fi ve in order to assure proper
service from your telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five
may not be u s ab le o n a gi ve n line. NOTE: The REN for the Digit al
Entertainment Receiver with Impulse Pay-Per-View is 0.3B.

If Problems Arise

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you
should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may
cause harm to the telephone network. If your telephone company
notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If

sure to do this accurately and without a long delay. If programming the AUX
key for a satellite receiver u se one of th e following S AT 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
accepts the code, press the POWER key on the remote control to make sure
the remote control is able to turn your component off. This means it is
functioning properly.

8. If your component does not respond to the remote control PO WER key, even
though it has "accept ed" the manufacturer’s code, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6
using the second three-dig it c ode from the table. If this does not work, try the
third code, etc., until the remote control accepts the code and your component
responds to the remote control POWER key.

NOTE: Some cable box brands are also programmable using these instructions.
Check the table that appears lat er in this section for applicable cable box brands
and codes. You will press the TV key to program your cable box. Your remote can
only accept a TV or cable box code for this programming step.

If Your Remote Control Cannot Find a Working Three­Digit Code in the Tables (Scanning)

If you try to program your remote control using the thr ee-digit codes, and t he
remote control does not work correctly, you may be able to find a code that works
by using the "scanning" process.

1. Turn on the TV or the VCR-depending upon whether you wish to program the
remote control for your TV or for your VCR.

2. Press the TV key (or VCR key) for at least three seconds or until the LED
blinks.

turn off.

NOTE: If your TV is not listed in the tables and/o r the codes for your brand are not
accepted by the remote, you will need to use the remote originally manufactured
for your unit.

Programming the Master Power Feature

If you wish to control the powe r on /off function of your satellite receive r, VCR,
TV, and all con nected equipment with a single press of the POWER key on your
remote control, you can ena bl e the remote control’s Master Power feature by
following these steps:

briefly, which indicates that the remote has accepted the Master Power
command.

If you wish to cancel the Master Power feature, just repeat the steps outlined
above.

Using Your Remote

Volume Control Crossover

Your remote control unit is programmed from the factory to control the volume of
your television set when you are using the re mote control in the SAT mode. You
can choose to have the SAT mode control the volume of your satellite receiver
directly, instead. The AUX mode can also be programmed to control the audio
from the TV or SAT device. To program your remote control for this function:

• Enter the programm ing mode using either the SAT mode key or the AUX

mode key.

• While the SAT mode key or AUX mode key is flashing, press and releas e the

SAT mode or TV mode key (depending on which device you want remote
volume and mute con trol).

• The SAT mode key or the AUX mode key will light as you press and release

the programming mode key, flash three times rapidly and extinguish.

• The remote control will now control the volume of the SAT

device when in the SAT mode.

Verifying Your TV, VCR and AUX Mode Codes

Y ou can verify the accepted programming codes for each mode by following these
steps.

1. Press the TV, VCR, AUX key for at least three seconds or until the LED
blinks.

2. Press th e "INFO" key.

3. The LED will blink, indicating the code of your TV, VCR or auxiliary
component in the following sequence. For example, if your TV code is for a
T a nd y bra n d TV (code 10 5) the blink pa tte rn will be:

- Pause>lon g 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
controls from affecting the other receivers. To prevent this kind of interference,
you must "pair" each remote control with one rece iver . In ord er 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.

Replacing the Remote Control Batteries

When the remote control batteries are worn out (discharged), the remote will stop
working. Replace the batteries as soon as possible to retain you r programmed
codes. Once you remove the batte ries from the compartment, you must replace
them within two hours to retain your programmable features. The remote control
for this unit may be powered by two AA batteries. Use only high quality, non­corrosive batteries designed for use in electronic equipment.
both batteries at the same time. To replace the batteries:

- Remove the cover by pressing down the Back Panel indentation and
removing the panel off the remote contro l.

- Position each battery in the battery compartment so that the flat base (-)

is against the spring and so that the raised contact (+) is against the
terminal. Make sure the batteries are securely seat ed.

- Replace the cover.

"Remote Energy Saver"

If you misplace your remote (i.e., it is stuck in your couch) , and a key is
inadvertently pressed, the remote will automatically turn itse lf off after three
minutes.

Assemble and Mount the Satellite Dish

It is important to follow all local building and electrical codes and avoid contact
with any power lines, lights, and power circuits when you inst all the satellite dish.

• Place the satellite dish within 25 m (75 ft.) of the receiver if possible.

• Make sure the dish will have a clear line-of-sight to the satellite all year round.
Refer to the information supplied with your system for the elevation and
compass direction.

• Note the location of nearby buildi ngs , fences, trees, and fu ture tree growth that
will interfere with a clear line-of-sight between the satellite dish and satellite.

• Avoid locations exposed to high wind, soot or ashes from a chimney or vent, or
locations where people, vehicles, or animals will jostle the dish.

• Mount the dish on a solid, stable surface if you do not mount it on a metal pole
cemented securely i nto th e g rou nd . The sa tellite dish must be in a true, upright
position that is perpendicular to the ground in all directions.

• Make sure you have easy, safe, year-round access to the mountin g location.

• Make sure to properly ground the dish and coaxial ca ble.

Assemble and mount the dish accordi ng to instructions.

Overview of Pointing the Satellite Dish

The receiver uses horizontal or vertical sig nals that are broadcast from a satellite
located in a stationary orbit 22,500 miles abo v e the equato r. It is important to
accurately point your satellite dish at the satellite or you may lose the signal during
inclement weather or when minor interference is present. When you point the
satellite dish, you will be concerned with up to three kinds of adjustments
depending upon yo ur geographic location:

• First, adjust the po si tion of the LNBF so that it is properly aligned to receive
the horizontal or vertical signals.

• Second, adjust the elevation of the satellite dish.

• Third, adjust the compass direction.

28

305.book Page 29 Tuesday, April 15, 2003 11:15 AM

Initial Adjustment to the LNBF

You will need to mount and make an initial adjustment to the low noise b lock feed
(LNBF or feedhorn) so that it is in the correct position for the city (or geographic
location) in which you live. Refer to the informat ion supplie d wi th your sy stem .
While you are facing the front o f the satellite dish , mount the LNBF in th e housing
as indicated in the instructions for your dish. If necessary, loosen the clamp
screw(s).

• As you look at the LNBF, try to think of its position in terms of the hands of a
clock. In particular , try to think of th e LNBF's F connector (th e point where the
wires attach) as the hour hand pointing to one of the numbers on the face of a
clock. Point the LNBF as indicated in the instructions.

• Once you have correctly pointed the LNBF, tighten the LNBF clamp screw(s),
but don't tighten them comp le te ly. Y o u may ne e d to mak e a slight ad just ment
later on.

Initial Adjustment to the Elevation Setting

Now you will need to make an initial adjustment to the elevation setting of the
satellite dish (the distance above the horizon to which it points). Your dish­mounting bracket may have a scale marker.

• Refer to the information supplied with your system, and set the elevation
which is appropriate for the city in which you live.

• If the information supplied with your system does not list a city within a few
miles of your locatio n, choose the nearest city. Then, determ ine how far you
are located to the north or south of that city. Since the elevation setting for your
location will change by app roximately one degree 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 one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that your location is
closer to the equator than the listed city.

• Your adjustments must be accurate within one-half of a degree, which can be

as little as 1mm (1⁄32"). So use great care in adjusting this setting.

• Once you correctly set the elevation setting, tighten the nut(s) just enough to
hold the dish in place.

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 informat io n supplied with your system, and ag ai n find the
compass setting (also called the azimut h) for the city nearest to where you live.
It is measured in degrees.

• Turn the satellite dish 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 possible toward
the marker.

• Choose the nearest city to your locati on (the same one you chose when you
adjusted the LNBF position and the el evation). Then determine how far you
are located to the east or west of that cit y. Since the compass setting for your
location will change by approximately one degree for every 160.9km (100
miles) that you are east or west of the listed city, you can adjust the satellite
dish compass setting in the following ways:

• If you are locat ed in the Northern Hemisphere:

- If your location is ea st of th e listed c ity, compensate by moving the dish
clockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that you are
east of the listed city.

- If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the
dish counterclockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles)
that you are west of the listed city.

• If you are located in the Southern Hemispher e:

- If your location is ea st of th e listed c ity, compensate by moving the dish
counterclockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (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 160.9km (10 0 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.

Connecting the Satellite Dish, Receiver, and TV

Make sure that the satellit e receiv er is no t plu gg ed i nto a p ower so urc e b efore you
connect any cables to the receiver and complete the following steps:

• Connect the cable from the satellite dish to the sa tellite t erminal o n the satellite
receiver's back panel. Connect a three-wire (red, yellow, and white) cable from
the TV terminal on the satellite receiver's back panel to TV IN (or coaxial
cable to VHF IN) terminal on your TV.

• On the back panel of the satellite receiver, set the CH3 CH4 switch (which is
located just above the TV terminal) to whichever channel provides the clearest
reception to the same chann e l that you set on your TV.

• Turn on the TV and t une it to chan nel 3 or 4 to mat ch the position of the switch
on the back panel of the satellite receiver.

• Plug the satellite receiver power cord into a standard power outlet. Wait one
minute, and then press the POWER key (green) on the left side of the satellite

screen. Continue with fine-tuning the signal.

Overview of Fine-Tuning (or Peaking) the Signal

You should have the assistance of a second person to monitor the television screen
while you complete the adjustments to the satellite dish in this section.

• While your assistant watches the si gnal number on the Tune in Satellite
Signal menu ( see pr e v ious section, “Acquiring a Si gn a l” ) , yo u w i l l ma k e fine­tuning adjustments to the LN BF, the elevation, and the compa ss setting.

• In addition to using the Signal readin g, which appears on the T une in Satellite
Signal menu on your TV screen, you may wish to use an external signa l level
meter to verify the signal strength while you make fine-tuning adjustments for
the LNBF, elevation, and compass direction setting. As mentio ned earlier, do
not try to determine the strength of the signal by judging the clarity of the
picture on the TV. Di gital reception cannot be adjusted in this manner.

NOTE: As the signal grows stronger, the bar graph for signal strength will
become longer and its color will change from red to green. Also, a beeping tone
will change into a monotone.
