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
®
system.
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.
Remote Setup Choose which remote button, DSS1 or DSS2, will
control the DSS
®
receiver.
