FIRST THINGS FIRST

Read the First Four Sections
The first four sections of the manual introduce you
to your DSS®system, and show you how to use
the on-screen guides and menus. Reading these
sections gives you the basic information you need
to navigate the DSS®system.
Lists & Limits
The fifth section of the book introduces you to the
Lists & Limits feature, which lets you control the
way you watch DSS®programming by creating
favorite channel lists, and by setting ratings limits
and spending limits.
The Rest of the Manual
The rest of the book highlights the remaining
features, and includes reference information such
as a connections guide, a glossary, and an index.
Take some time right now to read
at least the first five sections.
Then, as you have time, you can
check out the rest of the book.

When you order programming, you
need to know your Access Card
number. To get the number, select
Options from the Main menu, and
then select System Test. Wait for the
system to run all of it’s tests. The
Access Card number is displayed at
the end of the system test.
Write the Access Card number in
the space below for easy reference:
What is the DSS®System?
You’ve purchased the DSS®Digital Satellite System, so you
already know a lot of the great things it offers. You know that the
DSS®system uses the latest satellite technology to deliver
television programming to your home. And you know that the
transmissions are digital, so the quality of the picture and audio
rivals that of laser discs and CDs. You know the dish is small—18
inches wide—and that it often can be installed in a matter of
hours. (See the DSS®System Installer Guide for specific
information.)
Those are the some of the things you probably know about the
DSS®system. But what about the things you don’t know? For
instance...
•The DSS®system works like your TV. Pick up the DSS®remote
and push the DSS®button. Press the Channel Up/Down
buttons to scan through the channels. Press the number
keys to go directly to a channel.
• There is an on-screen Program Guide. The Program Guide is
like a TV listing in the newspaper. It is designed to help you
select regular programs and pay-per-view events. You can
also sort the Guide to list only specific types of programs.
You can select Sports, for example, and your guide will
show current and upcoming sports programs only. Or
Movies. Or News.
• There is the on-screen Menu System that allows you to
customize your system. You can set up your system, build
channel lists, preview coming attractions, set spending
limits, and receive mail from your program providers.
• There are three types of On-line Help to assist you in
learning how to use the DSS®system: Auto Help, Help
buttons, and the About DSS menu.
Ordering DSS®Programming
After you have installed your system, you should contact the
service providers, DIRECTV and USSB to receive DSS®
programming.
Programming with DIRECTV: Call 1-800-347-3288
Programming with USSB: Call 1-800-204-USSB

Using This Manual
There are a couple of conventions used in this manual that
might help you read it.
• Words that appear in ALL CAPS indicate the name of a
button.
• The names of on-screen menu option are shown in
italics
.
Important Note about This User’s Manual
This manual assumes that your DSS®system has been installed,
meaning:
1. The DSS®satellite dish has been installed, correctly pointed
at the satellite, and connected to your DSS®receiver.
2. The DSS®receiver is connected to your television and to a
telephone line.
3. The access card is installed in your DSS®receiver.
Your access card has been matched to your receiver, and
should already be installed when you take the receiver out of
the packing box. The access card should only be taken out of
the DSS®receiver when you are issued a new card by your
programming providers.
4. The DSS®remote control has batteries and can be
programmed to control both your DSS®receiver and your
TV (if your TV is remote-controllable).
If your system has not been installed, refer to the satellite dish
Installer's Guide for information regarding proper installation.
Then, refer to the section, “Connections,” in this manual. See
your dealer for specific information regarding professional
installation or the purchase of a Self-Installer’s Kit.

What is Point and Select?
Point and Select is the two-step method you use to control the
DSS®system.
1. Point
You point by pressing the arrow keys on the remote or front
panel. Pressing the arrow keys moves the on-screen
highlight to different items in the Program Guide and the
menu screens. Pressing an arrow once moves the highlight
one space in the direction of the arrow.
For example, to point down (that is, to move the highlight
toward the bottom of the screen), press the down arrow. To
point right, press the right arrow.
2. Select
Once you have pointed to an item on the screen, select it by
pressing the MENU•SELECT button on the remote or front
panel. Selecting an item tells the menu system to make the
change you have indicated.
For example, the instructions in the User’s Manual might tell
you to “Point to the
Help
button and press MENU•SELECT.”
Once you’ve understand the Point and Select rule, you can
use any part of the DSS®system, beginning with the
Program Guides.

Exiting A Screen
Pressing the CLEAR button on the
remote takes you out of the menu
system and back to the program you
were watching.
