Connecting a Compatible | DirecTV ProScan DSS Receiver manual

FIRST THINGS FIRST

CONNECTING A COMPATIBLE

D-VHS VCR

The DSS® receiver can send a digital signal to a compatible D-VHS VCR. The D-VHS VCR can then record and playback recordings through the DSS® receiver. If you have a D-VHS VCR you must connect both devices so they can send and receive digital signals.

1)Connect a digital audio/video (DAV) cable as shown.

2)Connect RCA type audio/video cables as shown.

The D-VHS VCR and DSS® receiver communicate through the DAV cable. It is not necessary to connect the VCR controller or enter the VCR type described earlier in this section.

INTERACTIVE SETUP

If you self-installed your satellite dish antenna, you may have already used the interactive setup to find the dish pointing coordinates, acquire and fine-tune the signal, and run a system test.

If you need to run the interactive setup again, select Options from the Main menu, then select Interactive Setup.

If you just want to check your dish pointing coordinates, or run the signal strength meter, select Dish Pointing from the Main menu.

After you have installed your system, you should contact the service providers, DIRECTV and USSB to receive DSS® programming.
