Using Auto Detection to set the dish type
To function properly, the DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver needs to know what type of satellite dish you
are using. You can specify the dish type using the instructions on the previous page, or you can
follow the steps below to use Auto Detection to automatically set the dish type.
Before you can use Auto Detection to set the dish-type, the dish must be correctly aligned and the
HD Receiver must be receiving a strong signal from the satellite. To check the satellite signal, use
the signal meter (see the next page for details).
1. Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2. Highlight SYSTEM SETUP and press SELECT.
3. Highlight Installation and press SELECT.
4. Highlight Dish Setup and press SELECT.
5. Highlight Auto Detection and press SELECT.
The Auto Detection screen appears. The HD Receiver starts attempting
to identify the dish type. You can stop the detection process by pressing
SELECT during the auto-detection procedure.
Once the dish type has been identied, a screen appears telling you what
type of satellite dish you have.
6. To accept the detected dish type setting, use the arrow buttons on your
remote control to highlight Back and press SELECT. The HD Receiver will
reboot.
