Using Auto Detection to set the dish type

To function properly, your DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver needs to know what type of satellite dish you are using. You can specify the dish type using the instructions on page 31, or you can follow the steps below to use the Auto Detection menu item to automatically set the dish type.

Before you can use Auto Detection to set the dish-type, the dish must be correctly aligned and the DIRECTV HD Receiver must be receiving a strong signal from the satellite (that is, signal-lock must be established). To check the satellite signal, use the signal meter — see page 30 for details.

1Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2Highlight the SETUP menu item, then press the OK button.

3Highlight the Installation menu item, then press the OK button.

4Highlight the Set Dish menu item, then press the OK button.

5Highlight the Auto Detection menu item, then press the OK button.

The Auto Detection screen appears. The DIRECTV HD Receiver starts attempting to identify the dish type. You can stop the detection process by using the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the on-screen Cancel button, then press the OK button.

Once the dish type has been identified, a screen appears telling you what type of satellite dish you have.

6To accept the detected dish type setting, use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the on-screen Back button, then press the OK button.

The DIRECTV HD Receiver will reboot.
