Connecting Your DSR

Make sure that the satellite receiver is not plugged into a power source before you connect any cables to the receiver. First connect the satellite input from your satellite dish to your receiver.

There are several way to connect your DSR to your television or monitor and other home theater components.

Video: Utilize the modulated RF output (good), Composite video output (better), S-Video output (best for standard definition), or Component video outputs (best for high definition) to connect the DSR directly to your television, VCR, and home theater A/V receiver.

Audio: The modulated RF output also provides audio along with video to televisions or VCRs (good). Utilize the stereo audio output (better) or the electrical or optical Digital audio outputs (best) to connect the DSR directly to your television, VCR, and home theater A/V receiver.

PPV: Connect the telco phone jack to a home telephone jack for Instant Pay-Per-View (IPPV) reportback. Star Choice will not permit IPPV unless this remains connected.

Connect the external antenna input if applicable for local off-air TV broadcast.

Plug the DSR power cord into a standard power outlet. Wait one minute, and then press the ON key located on the left side of the satellite receiver???s front panel.

Notes:

Video and audio quality should be best when the DSR is connected directly to the primary output component, such as the television or monitor (for video), and the television or home theater A/V receiver (for audio). Use quality cables designed for these applications.

If you are using the component video outputs, you may have to toggle the HDTV mode select button behind the flip-down door on the front panel. This toggles the HDTV output between 1080i, 480p, 480i, and native modes. Native mode (0000) is the original transmitted signal. You should leave this on native mode unless your TV or monitor requires a specific mode such as 1080i.

If you are using the RF output tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 to match the position of the channel 3/4 switch on the back panel of the satellite receiver.

Home theater A/V receivers can provide a method to connect multiple input sources if your television does not have enough input connectors. Some home theater A/V receivers may also provide very good or enhanced quality. Refer to your home theater A/V receiver instructions for further information.

Programming

Your DSR remote control can be programmed to operate your TV and auxiliary components. Follow these instructions to program the remote control.

-Turn on the TV or component you wish to program.

-Use the table in this section to find the brand of the desired component. After the manufacturer???s brand name is one or more four-digit codes.

-Press and hold the TV, VCR or AUX key on the remote control until the mode keys on the remote flash.

-While the mode keys are flashing, key in the first of the four-digit codes listed in the table for your brand.

-If it is a usable code the mode key will flash rapidly to indicate that it has accepted the code. Press the POWER key on the remote control to make sure the remote control is able to turn your TV or component off and back on.

-If it is not a usable code use the next four-digit code from the list until the remote control is programmed correctly.

Components may respond to more than one code. If your component does not respond to the remote as it should then an alternate code may be more functional or you can try scanning for an alternate code by using the following procedure.

If Your Four-Digit Code is not in the Tables (Scan)

If you try to program your remote control using the four-digit codes, and the remote control does not work correctly, you may be able to find a code that works by using the ???scan??? process.

-Turn on the TV.

-Press and hold the TV mode key on the remote control until the mode keys on the remote begin to flash.

-While pointing the remote control at your TV, press the UP navigation key to scan upward to the next code. (Use the DOWN key to return to the previous code.)

-If a transmitted code is the correct one, your

-The VCR and AUX keys may be programmed to operate a variety of components but you must first program the selected mode with a valid code or program it using the following starting points: press ???1000??? if scanning TV codes; ???2000??? if scanning VCR codes; ???3000??? if scanning CD or DVD codes; ???4000??? if scanning audio receiver codes; ???5219??? if scanning TV/VCR combinations or ???6235??? if scanning for cable boxes. The mode key will flash rapidly indicating acceptance. Then press and hold the AUX or VCR key untill all the mode keys flash. Press the UP navigation key until your component turns off. Press ENTER and the mode key will flash to indicate acceptance.

Verifying Your Component Codes

To verify the accepted programming codes follow these steps.

-Press the SAT, TV, VCR or AUX key for at least three seconds or until the LED blinks.

-Press the ???INFO??? key. The LED will blink, indicating the code of your component in the following sequence. For example, if your TV code is for a Tandy brand TV (code 1005) the blink pattern will be:

Pause>long blink ???1;??? Pause>short blink ???0;??? Pause>short blink ???0;??? Pause>long blink, long blink, long blink, long blink, long blink ???5.???

A zero in the code will always be represented by a short blink.

Programming the Master Power Feature

You can control the power on/off function of your satellite receiver and all connected equipment with a single press of the POWER key on your remote control. Enable the remote control???s Master Power feature by following these steps:

-Press the SAT key on the remote control for at least three seconds or until the light on the key blinks.

-Press the POWER key on the remote. The light will remain on steady. Press the power key a second time, and the light on the remote will blink on and off briefly, which indicates that the remote has accepted the Master Power command.

To cancel the Master Power feature, just repeat the steps above.

Volume Control Crossover

Your remote control is programmed from the factory to control the volume of your television set when you re using the remote control in the TV mode. You can choose to have the SAT mode control the volume of your television directly, instead. The AUX mode can also be programmed to control the audio. To program your remote control for this feature:

-Press the SAT for at least three seconds or until the LED blinks then press the TV or AUX key to allow the TV or AUX device to control the volume.

-If another device (TV or AUX) is currently controlling the volume and you wish to transfer it to the satellite receiver press the device mode key until the mode keys blink then press the SAT mode key again.

If You Have More Than One Satellite Receiver

If you have more than one satellite receiver, you may want to prevent the remote controls from affecting the other receivers. To prevent this interference, you must ???pair??? each remote control and receiver and assign a new ???address??? to each pair. If you have multiple receivers, see page 16 for the procedure to assign addresses.

If you have programmed the receiver for volume control crossover and change the address, volume control crossover must be reprogrammed.
