Running the System Test

Other Information

The System Test allows you to run a basic diagnostics check on your digital satellite receiver. If you are experiencing any trouble with your receiver, run the system test. It will also allow you to get your access card number or to initiate diagnostic procedures on your digital satellite receiver.

First make sure that:

•all connections—jacks, cables, etc.—are correctly in place. See Chapter One, Setup and Connections, for more information.

•There are batteries in the remote control, and they are working correctly.

•The access card is installed in the digital satellite receiver.

Follow these steps to run the diagnostics system test on your digital satellite receiver.

1.Turn on your TV and the digital satellite receiver.

2.Press the SAT button to put the remote control in satellite receiver-controlling mode, then press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

3.Select System Setup.

5.Select System Test.

6.If your system does not pass the system test, check any of these potential trouble areas: cabling, pointing the satellite dish, phone connection, and access card.

7.If you continue to have problems, call RCA Customer Service at 1-800-679-4776.

You should run a 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.

Fine-Tuning the Signal

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

If you need to run the Assisted Setup again, select System Setup from the Main menu, then select Assisted Setup.

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