A Guide to TracVision R5/R4
Turning on the TracVision R5/R4
Using the Switchplate
If you are a DISH 500 customer or
you have 3 or more receivers, you
can order the optional TV/SAT
Switch – free of charge. Simply fill
out the order form located at the
back of this manual and fax it to
KVH at +1 401 845-8190.
The satellite configuration on
your receiver must match the
satellite setting on the TracVision
R5/R4 system.
Satellite A on the TracVision R5/R4
must be the same satellite as
Receiver Alternative 1 (or A, based
on your receiver) and must be
assigned the Receiver DiSEqC 1
setting.*
Satellite B on the TracVision R5/R4
must be the same satellite as
Receiver Alternative 2 (or B, based
on your receiver) and must be
assigned the receiver DiSEqC 2
setting.*
Refer to your receiver user manual
for complete instructions for your
receiver.
* DiSEqC applies to European systems only

If you have followed the installation instructions, your system
should be set to the active satellite pair of your choice and the
system should have downloaded the appropriate channel guides.
You must also have a properly configured receiver (if this has not
been done, refer to your receiver User's Manual for instructions
for your specific receiver).
Your TracVision system is programmed to track either of two
satellites, stored in memory as Satellite A and Satellite B. You can
use the receiver remote control, the optional TV/SAT Switch*, or
a PC to select between the two satellites. Some DISH 500
customers may also use the DISH 500 mode, which allows
automatic switching between the Echo 119 and Echo 110 satellites
(see Section 3.4, "DISH 500 Mode").

3.2.1 Using the Receiver Remote Control to
Europe
When the TracVision R5/R4 system and the receiver have
matching configurations, switching from one satellite to the other
is as easy as changing the channel using the remote control.
TracVision R5/R4 will automatically switch from Satellite A to B
and back again as necessary to receive your selected channel.
