HIGHLIGHTS

You have purchased the most advanced, easy-to-use satellite dish system available today. Here is a list of some of the features that make this system powerful, yet simple enough for anyone to use:

♦Bit Stream (D-VHS) Recording: The recorder features the new D-VHS format which records digital satellite broadcasts as digital signals, so programs can be recorded "as is" with no loss of quality.

♦IRR (Integrated Receiver-Recorder): This HM-DSR100, which is commonly referred to as "recorder" in this manual, is actually an integrated unit which has a satellite receiver, VHF/UHF receiver, and video recorder (VHS and D-VHS formats) built in. This all-in-one design greatly simplifies set-up and operation of the unit.

♦Easy Timer Programming: DISH Network's Program Guide provides an easy way to look through all the programs currently being broadcast by DISH NetworkTM , and even lets the user program the built-in VCR's timer to record any program on the list by choosing it.

♦UHF/IR Universal Remote Control : The UHF remote, you can use the remote to control the recorder from another room, or even from another floor in the building. The IR remote uses infrared light to control the TV, audio components, and other compatible equipment.

♦Local TV Link: In the past you had to compromise quality, or use external switching devices to select between the satellite channels and your local broadcast channels. Now you can attach the TV antenna or cable line directly and access those channels using the Program Guide, the same way you access satellite channels.
