Fine Tuning The Pointing Of The Dish Antenna - Toshiba DST-3000 Owner's Manual

Setting Up the Satellite Dish Antenna and Terrestrial Inputs
Highlighting the System Test button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the
on the remote control will display the SYSTEM TEST screen. Using the
either the Begin Test or Cable Test button and press the
short period of time, the results of the test will be displayed.
You should perform the cable test for each of the
satellites supported by the dish antenna you selected in
the DISH TYPE screen.
Note: Not all of the transponders on Satellites
B (119°) and C (110°) are currently being
used. On Satellite B, for example, you may
receive NA (Not Available) indications for
several transponders. This is normal.
When you have received a strong signal from several
transponders on each of the satellites you are setting up,
you have completed the setup for digital satellite
channels. A numeric value for the signal strength ranges from 0 to 99. While your signal strength
may vary, refer to the following map to determine the suggested signal strength for your area:
Typical signal strength results. Your actual signal strength may vary.
Check to see if you are receiving the DIRECTV Promotional Channel on Channel 100. If you are
receiving that channel, you can now telephone 1-800 DIRECTV to subscribe to DIRECTV
Programming®. If you have difficulties receiving a strong signal on one individual satellite,
the pointing of the dish antenna will need fine tuning.

Fine Tuning the Pointing of the Dish Antenna

It often takes two people to fine tune the pointing of the dish antenna. One person watches the
signal strength indicator on the INSTALLATION screen and relays the information to another
person who is adjusting the dish antenna. To fine tune the pointing of the dish antenna, you will
need to select a satellite on the Source pop-up menu. Then select a transponder from that satellite
and
key on the remote control. After a
