Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting

The Installation option in the SETUP menu provides access to a variety of important setup controls. The first of these is the Set Dish menu. The Set Dish menu allows you to:

•Acquire the exact azimuth, elevation, and tilt angles to help you point your dish accurately based on your ZIP code.

•Check the setup of your satellite dish using an on-screen signal meter.

•Set the dish type (to tell your DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver what kind of satellite dish you are using).

•Set your dish type automatically.

The sections that follow detail each of these procedures.
