time, you can check out the rest of the
book.

Things
First
Allow me to introduce Myself...
My name is Jay, and I wrote this PROSCAN User
Manual. You probably weren’t expecting a personal
introduction, but then, a PROSCAN DSS®system is
designed to give you more than you expected—even in
the User Manual.
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.
Putting You in Control
The fifth section of the book introduces you to the
User Profiles feature, which lets you control the way
you watch DSS®programming by creating individual
channel lists, and by setting ratings limits and
spending limits.
What’s Left?
The rest of the book highlights the remaining features,
and includes reference information such as a
connections guide, a glossary, and an index.

First Things First
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®Satellite Dish Antenna
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. (See “Using On-line Help,” page 38.)
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
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 SystemTest.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:

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.

A Navigation Method
Point and Select is a method of navigating through the
menu system and program guides. Once you know
how to use the Point and Select method, you can
explore the menus to learn more about how your
DSS®system works.
Once you understand Point and Select,
you can do just about anything you want
with the menuing system.

The Only Rule:
Point and Select
MENU•SELECT
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 go ahead and 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 got the hang of the Point and Select rule, you can use
any part of the DSS®system, beginning with the Program Guide.
Don’t worry about getting stuck inside
a menu. Pressing the CLEAR button
on the remote takes you out of the
menu system and back to the
program you were watching.
