FIRST THINGS FIRST

CHOOSING A DSS® OUTPUT CHANNEL

If you are using the OUT TO TV jack to send the signal to a TV, you need to know about the agile modulator. The agile modulator allows you to select the television channel you want to use when you output the DSS® signal from the OUT TO TV jack on the back of the receiver.

SELECTING AN OUTPUT CHANNEL

The default setting is channel 14 (off-air) and 65 (cable). Try to get a signal on these TV channels first. If you want to change the output channel:

1.Press MENU•SELECT to bring up the Main menu.

2.Point to and select Options.

3.Point to and select System Options.

4.Select Output Channel to begin the procedure, and follow the on- screen displays to select a new output channel.

In the first screen, you indicate whether you are getting local channels from cable service or off-air broadcasts, and in the screens that follow, you select an available output channel.

Select Output Channel to begin the procedure for changing your output channel.

You can select an off-air channel between UHF channels 14-69; or a cable channel from 65-94 or 100-125 (they use the same channel band). Go through your channels and find one within this range which currently does not have programming.

If you can find three channels in a row that aren’t being used, choose the middle channel.

What does the Agile Modulator allow you to do?

The agile modulator gives you more channels from which to choose an output channel. This should allow you to choose a channel not already being used by an off-air (antenna) broadcast station, or your local cable service.

Resetting the Agile Modulator

To reset the output channel to the default (UHF channel 14 or cable channel 65), simultaneously press the DISPLAY button and the LEFT ARROW button () on the front of the receiver.
