MODES

Your Satellite Receiver has four modes:

•Standby - Satellite Receiver is on but inactive; television is off.

•TV - displays television programming.

•Guide - for viewing schedules and tuning to a program.

•Menu - for setting preferences and access codes.

To change modes, press the POWER, GUIDE, or MENU but- tons on the remote. Features available in each mode are described below.

STANDBY MODE

When you press the POWER button on either the Satellite Receiver or remote control, the Satellite Receiver enters Standby mode. When you are not using the Satellite Receiver, DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER to the Satellite Receiver; when the Satellite Receiver is in Standby mode, the Guide refreshes itself continuously to ensure that it is up to date.

Temporarily unlocked channels are NOT kept in memory when the system goes into standby mode; themes and favorite channels are kept in memory.

TV MODE

This is the normal viewing mode in which programs are viewed without Guide or Menu displayed.

GUIDE MODE

In Guide mode, you can view lists of programs according to their time slot and channel. You can tune to a program, receive notification when a program is about to start, order pay per view programs, search through listings for a specific type of pro- gram, and tag programs for future viewing. You can also access the menu, other guides, a tag list, or help.

MENU MODE

Menu mode lets you access or customize the features of your Satellite Receiver. Categories include Guide, General Settings, Access Control, Preferred Language, Purchases, Installation, Upgrades, and Mail. Details of each option are explained in this user manual.
