Connections & Setup

Selecting a VCR Type

In order to use the One-Touch Record and Record Timer features, you need to tell the satellite receiver which VCR brand you are using.

1.Tune the TV to its satellite receiver viewing channel (either 03, 04, or the TV’s appropriate input channel depending on your connections).

2.Press MENU on the remote control to display the satellite receiver’s Main menu.

3.Highlight and select number 7, System Setup.

4.Highlight and select number 3, Receiver Options.

5.Highlight and select number 2, Set VCR Type.

6.Highlight and select the name of your VCR manufacturer.

Note: If you do not see your VCR manufacturer’s name, select Other (at the bottom of the list) and enter the appropriate code from the VCR Remote Control code list on pages 14-15.

7.Follow the on-screen instructions to ensure that you are using the correct code (if you need more assistance while in a menu, press the remote control’s INFO button for details).

Note: Some VCR brands may not be capable of being controlled by the receiver.

Complete the Assisted Setup

If you installed your satellite dish antenna yourself, you may have already used the Assisted Setup to find dish-pointing coordinates, acquire and fine- tune the signal, and run a system test.

If you need to run the setup again, select System Setup from the Main menu, then select Assisted Setup.

To check your dish-pointing coordinates or run the signal strength meter, display the Main menu, then select System Setup, and finally Dish Pointing.

Tip

When you order programming, you need to know your access card and receiver ID numbers. To get these numbers, select System Setup from the Main menu, then System Test.

Wait for the system to run all of its tests. The access card and receiver ID numbers are displayed at the end of the system test.

Write the access card and receiver ID numbers in the space below for easy reference:
