Directv programming, To install the SW42 switch

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—

The MV3500A will toggle between the primary and seconday satellites for either DISH Network or DIRECTV. Both have programming on more than one satelite. When a channel is selected on the remote control and is not on the satellite cur- rently selected, the unit will automatically toggle to the correct satellite.

DIRECTV programming

1.DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2 sat selection to enable toggling between primary 101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite only. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.)

After receiver is set for the correct dish selection, when you request a channel located on a different satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to that satellite.

DISH Network programming (DISH 500)

DISH Network receivers must have the “SW42” switch installed in order to toggle between the pri- mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite. (Consult your receiver manual for the procedure to reach the “check switch” menu.)

To install the “SW42” switch:

1.Before turning on your MV3500A system, make sure that your satellite receiver and television are turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish” menu. (Consult your owner’s manual to reach this menu.)

2.Turn on the MV3500A system and wait for sig- nal acquisition on satellite 119°.

3.After signal is acquired, you have 6 minutes to complete Check Switch test. Consult your receiv- er manual for instructions on running this test. Be sure that Superdish and Alternate are unchecked if applicable. Onscreen options may vary by re- ceiver.

4.During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin checking the switch by toggling between satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will appear on the screen. It will be at the top of the screen, satellite designations will be below, show- ing odd and even transponders. See illustration.

If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you
have an X in one of the boxes below the satel-
lites, repeat Check Switch Steps.	4

5.Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to the correct satellite when a channel is selected with your re- mote control.

NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you won’t have to perform this test again, unless Check Switch was performed on another satel- lite dish, such as a home dish.

!Toggle: Your Winegard automatic satellite dish will move from the primary to the alternate satellite in order to receive multi-satellite programming.
