System Test

The SYSTEM TEST screen will display the signal strength of all of the transponders on the satellite that have been selected on the Signal Source pop-up menu. It will also indicate the quality of the signal transfer between the dish antenna and the HD receiver. The SYSTEM TEST Menu offers the following options:

Begin Test	Starts the receiver test, which provides basic status information about the
	receiver. The test may take up to one minute.
Cable Test	Tests and displays indicators of all transponder signals from the satellite
	chosen by the Source pop-up menu.
Upgrade	Checks the status of software upgrades that DIRECTV periodically performs.

Highlighting the System Test button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the SYSTEM TEST screen. Using the ▲ and ▲ keys, highlight either the Begin Test or Cable Test button and press the SELECT key on the remote control. After a short period of time, the results of the test will be displayed.

You should perform the cable test for each of the satellites supported by the dish antenna you selected in the DISH TYPE screen. If you are setting up your system to receive signals from Satellites B (110°) and C (119°), you will need to change source satellites between each Cable Test.

Note: Not all of the transponders on Satellites

B(119°) and C (110°) are currently being used. On Satellite B, for example, you may receive NA (Not Available) indications for several transponders. This is normal.
