SYSTEM OPTIONS

System Test The System Test display screen is accessed through the Options menu, and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the DSS® system. You should use this feature to get your Access Card number, or when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working correctly. There are four separate tests: signal, tuning, phone connection, and access card.

A message screen appears, telling you whether the system passed each test. If your system fails a test, run the system test several times before concluding that there is a problem. Occasional fluctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can give temporary false readings.

New Access Card Periodically, your program provider may issue you a replacement access card. The New Access Card Setup display screen allows you to transfer the information from the old card onto the new one.

Follow the display screen prompts to initialize your new card. Once you have transferred the information to the new card, your old card becomes invalid.

Because your specific account information is stored in the access card, power failures should have no effect on your DSS® system.

Set VCR Type To use the VCR controller feature, you need to tell the DSS® receiver which VCR brand you are using.

1.Use the arrows or digit keys to input the correct code for your VCR brand. The VCR codes are located in the Reference section.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions to ensure that you are using the correct code. If the VCR automatically stops tape play, then you know that the receiver and the VCR are communicating.

Some VCR brands may not be capable of being controlled by the DSS® receiver.

Remote Setup Choose which remote button, DSS1 or DSS2, will control the DSS® receiver.
