The Menu System
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
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.
Output Channel lets you select the television channel you want to use
when you output the DSS
back of the receiver. You can select an off-air channel between UHF
channels 14-69; or a cable channel from 65-94 or 100-125.
Remote Setup Choose which remote button, DSS1 or DSS2, will

control the DSS
