Chapter 2

Receiver Description and Installation

Tip: If the receiver is connected to a phone line with Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may need to install a DSL filter between the receiver and the telephone jack. You can obtain the filter from your DSL provider.

6.Connect the AUDIO DIGITAL OUTPUT or the PHONO (RCA) AUDIO

OUTPUTS on the receiver, as needed, to the corresponding HDTV audio inputs to hear sound.

Note: The default resolution on both HDTV outputs is 480p until the receiver is authorized and subscribed to a qualifying programming package and the desired HDTV resolution has been selected.

Connecting Your Receiver to a Phone Line

You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line. Otherwise, you may not be able to order Pay-Per-View programs or use all of the dish home Interactive TV features. Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver's back panel PHONE JACK to an active telephone connection.

Note: You may be able to use a wireless telephone extender. However, this may not support all the features of your receiver, such as Caller ID.

You must also set up the receiver for your telephone system (touchtone or rotary/pulse), and set a telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an outside call.

1.Display the Installation and Setup menu (press MENU then 6-1).

2.Select the Telephone System option (4) to display the Telephone System Setup menu.

3.Select the Touch Tone or the Rotary/Pulse option in the Phone Type list.

4.If you do not need a dialing prefix to call outside your premises, select the Save option, and stop here. If you do need to set a prefix to dial outside your premises (for example, dial 9 to get an outside line), go to step 5.

Note: Usually, you need a telephone number prefix only for business installations. For most residential installations, all you need to do is set the telephone system type.

5.Move the highlight to the Outside Line Prefix list. Press the SELECT/OK button to select the highlighted option.
