Guided Setup is as simple as following the onscreen instructions. When in doubt, we’ve usually highlighted the most likely choice for you.
Now, let us lead the way…
Simply follow the onscreen directions to complete your setup functions. If you’ve installed your satellite dish and system yourself, you’ll be guided though various functions for optimizing your signal and setup
—including positioning your dish and a system test. If you had your system professionally installed, these functions already have been completed.
After these setup procedures are complete, you’ll see a message onscreen that says, “Acquiring Satellite Info,” as the receiver gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen program guide.
Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to program your remote to control other equipment such as your TV and/or DVD player. Just follow the screen instructions and you’ll be ready to watch in no time!
