???Receiver and TV
???Receiver, TV, and VCR
???Receiver, TV, VCR and auxiliary equipment.
A Word About Modes. To enable the remote control to operate your receiver, your TV, and your VCR, it may have as many as four main modes of operation: SAT mode, TV mode, VCR mode and AUX mode. This means that when you press the SAT, TV, VCR or AUX keys on the remote control, you enable it to control each of these devices, one at a time. Naturally, some of the remote control keys have more than one function, depending upon which mode you are using at the time. Keep this in mind as you read the descriptions for each remote control key. Also keep in mind that some SAT functions are available only within SAT mode. Among these special functions are access to the menus through the OPTIONS key, use of the Interactive Program Guide (IPG) through the GUIDE key, and the ability to select a satellite by using the SAT key.
If You Misplace the Remote Control. If you ever
misplace the remote control and need to use the various menus, just press the MENU key on the Front Panel and a special Menu screen will appear. This feature is only available on certain models in the 400 Series IRD.

Verifying Your TV, VCR and AUX Mode Codes
You can verify the accepted programming codes for each mode by following these steps.
1.Press the TV, VCR, AUX key for at least three seconds or until the LED blinks.
2.Press the "INFO" key.
3.The LED will blink, indicating the code of your TV, VCR or auxiliary component in the following sequence. For example, if your TV code is for a Tandy brand TV (code 105) the blink pattern will be:
-Pause>long blink "1;"
-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.
4.For the AUX mode only, after the code is verified the appropriate mode key will blink to indicate the component being controlled.
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 kind of interference, you must "pair" each remote control with one receiver. In order to do this, you will have to assign a new "address" to each pair of remote controls and receivers so that each pair functions independently of the others. If you have two or more receivers, see Chapter 10 for information about the procedure for changing addresses.
Replacing the Remote Control Batteries
When the remote control batteries are worn out (discharged), the remote will stop working. Replace the batteries as soon as possible to retain your programmed codes. Once you remove the batteries from the compartment, you must replace them within two hours to retain your programmable features. The remote control for this unit may be powered by two AA batteries. Use only high quality, non- corrosive batteries designed for use in electronic equipment. Remember to replace both batteries at the same time. To replace the batteries:
-Remove the cover by pressing down the Back Panel indentation and removing the panel off the remote control.
-Position each battery in the battery compartment so that the flat base

Assemble and Mount the Satellite Dish
It is important to follow all local building and electrical codes and avoid contact with any power lines, lights, and power circuits when you install the satellite dish.
???Place the satellite dish within 25m (75 ft.) of the receiver if possible.
???Make sure the dish will have a clear
???Note the location of nearby buildings, fences, trees, and future tree growth that will interfere with a clear
???Avoid locations exposed to high wind, soot or ashes from a chimney or vent, or locations where people, vehicles, or animals will jostle the dish.
???Mount the dish on a solid, stable surface if you do not mount it on a metal pole cemented securely into the ground. The satellite dish must be in a true, upright position that is perpendicular to the ground in all directions.
???Make sure you have easy, safe,
???Make sure to properly ground the dish and coaxial cable.
Assemble and mount the dish according to instructions.
Overview of Pointing the Satellite Dish
The receiver uses horizontal or vertical signals that are broadcast from a satellite located in a stationary orbit 22,500 miles above the equator. It is important to accurately point your satellite dish at the satellite or you may lose the signal during inclement weather or when minor interference is present. When you point the satellite dish, you will be concerned with up to three kinds of adjustments depending upon your geographic location:
???First, adjust the position of the LNBF so that it is properly aligned to receive the horizontal or vertical signals.
???Second, adjust the elevation of the satellite dish.
???Third, adjust the compass direction.

Initial Adjustment to the LNBF
You will need to mount and make an initial adjustment to the low noise block feed (LNBF or feedhorn) so that it is in the correct position for the city (or geographic location) in which you live. Refer to the information supplied with your system.
While you are facing the front of the satellite dish, mount the LNBF in the housing as indicated in the instructions for your dish. If necessary, loosen the clamp screw(s).
???As you look at the LNBF, try to think of its position in terms of the hands of a clock. In particular, try to think of the LNBF's F connector (the point where the wires attach) as the hour hand pointing to one of the numbers on the face of a clock. Point the LNBF as indicated in the instructions.
???Once you have correctly pointed the LNBF, tighten the LNBF clamp screw(s), but don't tighten them completely. You may need to make a slight adjustment later on.
Initial Adjustment to the Elevation Setting
Now you will need to make an initial adjustment to the elevation setting of the satellite dish (the distance above the horizon to which it points). Your dish- mounting bracket may have a scale marker.
???Refer to the information supplied with your system, and set the elevation which is appropriate for the city in which you live.
???If the information supplied with your system does not list a city within a few miles of your location, choose the nearest city. Then, determine how far you are located to the north or south of that city. Since the elevation setting for your location will change by approximately one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are north or south of the equator, you can adjust the satellite dish elevation in the following way:
-Add one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that your location is farther away from the equator than the listed city.
-Subtract one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that your location is closer to the equator than the listed city.
???Your adjustments must be accurate within
???Once you correctly set the elevation setting, tighten the nut(s) just enough to hold the dish in place.

Initial Adjustment to the Compass Direction Setting
To make an initial adjustment to the compass orientation of the satellite:
???Use the wrench to loosen the bolt(s) so that you can turn the satellite dish on the mounting pole to change its compass direction. Then point the dish so that it faces directly south (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere) or directly north (if you are in the Southern Hemisphere).
???Refer to the information supplied with your system, and again find the compass setting (also called the azimuth) for the city nearest to where you live. It is measured in degrees.
???Turn the satellite dish so that the LNBF support is pointing to the correct degree setting. To do this, use a compass to determine the correct direction. Then mark the position for the compass setting about 5 meters (15 feet) away from the satellite dish. Point the satellite dish as accurately as possible toward the marker.
???Choose the nearest city to your location (the same one you chose when you adjusted the LNBF position and the elevation). Then determine how far you are located to the east or west of that city. Since the compass setting for your location will change by approximately one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that you are east or west of the listed city, you can adjust the satellite dish compass setting in the following ways:
???If you are located in the Northern Hemisphere:
-If your location is east of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish clockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that you are east of the listed city.
-If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish counterclockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that you are west of the listed city.
???If you are located in the Southern Hemisphere:
-If your location is east of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish counterclockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that you are east of the listed city.
-If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish clockwise by one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles) that you are west of the listed city.
???Tighten the bolt(s) on the mounting pole enough to hold the position in place so that you can still move it a little at a time. You will
