FINDING THE DIRECTION AND ELEVATION
When determining the approximate location of the satellites, you need to find the azimuth (South,
Southeast, or Southwest direction to the satellites) and elevation (angle up to the satellites) from
your location. "Azimuth" is also called "direction." This Guide uses the term "direction".
Finding the satellites is easy. You first need to connect the recorder to your TV, and turn on
the recorder and TV. Tune your TV to channel 3 or 4. See Wiring Setups on page 7-21 for
more information.
Use the
Point Dish and Signal Strength menu to find the direction and elevation of the
satellites from your location. After you complete the installation of the satellite antenna,
you can then fine-tune the aiming of your satellite antenna to receive the strongest signal.
To open the
Point Dish and Signal Strength menu, do the following.
