Using this Manual

The purpose of this User’s Manual is to give you the information you’ll need to begin using the DSS system. The manual is divided into two parts:

Section 1: Using Your DSS System contains the information and the steps necessary to learn how one simple rule—Point and Select—allows you to use every feature in the Program Guide and the menu system. (See The Only Rule: Point and Select on page 5.)

Section 2: Setting Up Your DSS System contains chapters of information that may be necessary if you move, change, or add components in your DSS system. This section includes the steps necessary to:

Set up your DSS remote control

Connect the DSS receiver to your TV and other components

Order DSS accessories

Important Note about This User’s Manual

This manual assumes that your DSS system has been installed, meaning:

1.The DSS satellite dish has been installed, correctly pointed at the satellite, and connected to your DSS receiver.

2.The DSS receiver is connected to your television and telephone line.

3.The access card is installed in your DSS receiver.

Note: Your access card has been matched to your receiver, and should already be installed when you take the receiver out of the packing box. The access card should only be taken out of the DSS receiver when you are issued a new card by your programming providers.

4.The DSS TV Universal Remote Control has batteries and has been programmed to control both your DSS receiver and your TV (if your TV is remote-controllable).

If your system has not been installed, refer to the satellite dish Installer's Guide for information regarding proper installation. Then, refer to the section, Connecting Your DSS Receiver, in this manual. See your dealer for specific information regarding professional installation or the purchase of a Self-Installer’s Kit.
