Installation Instructions for ViP622 DVR

Follow the steps below to install a ViP622 DVR. Detailed instructions for some steps below are found in the

receiver User’s Guide.

Note: All current LNBF and switch configurations are supported by the ViP622 DVR in factory software. A

DISH Pro Plus Separator can be used if the receiver is directly connected to a DISH Pro Plus LNBF or switch.

Note: Do not use Remote Control 2 to operate the ViP622 DVR until after the software download. Install

batteries in Remote Control 1.

1. Connect ViP622 DVR to HDTV (TV1): Connect the receiver to the nearby HDTV using the TV1

audio/video connections. Attach the UHF remote antenna and an active phone line to the ViP622 DVR.

Power on the HDTV and satellite receiver using the front panel power buttons, and confirm you can see

a picture from the receiver.

a. If you cannot see a picture, ensure the HDTV is on the correct input and capable of displaying

480p, which is the default resolution of the ViP622 DVR through the HD outputs. See the user’s

guide that came with the HDTV for instructions.

b. If you still cannot see a picture, temporarily connect the RCA-type TV1 outputs to the nearby

HDTV, and change the HDTV to the appropriate input to see a picture.

2. Mount dish: Assemble and mount the satellite dish(es) using standard dish installation methods and

instructions.

3. Peak dish (peaking meter): If you plan to use a peaking meter to peak the dish(es):

a. Peak each dish for maximum signal strength.

b. Connect all LNBFs and switches together using the instructions for these devices, and connect

both of the ViP622 DVR’s Satellite In ports to the same switch, LNBF, or DISH Pro Plus

Separator. Attach the two blue Satellite In stickers from the receiver User’s Guide to the two

Satellite In cables near the receiver.

4. Peak dish (using ViP622 DVR): If you plan to use the receiver’s Point Dish/Signal screen to peak

the LNBF(s):

a. Connect each LNBF to be peaked directly to the Satellite In connections. If needed, you can

temporarily

use a DISH Pro compliant splitter (for peaking only) to connect one satellite signal

cable to both tuners. Run a Check Switch test on each LNBF used for peaking. Peak each LNBF

using the Point Dish screen.

b. Connect all LNBFs and switches together using the instructions for these devices, and connect

both of the ViP622 DVR’s Satellite In ports to the same switch, LNBF, or DISH Pro Plus

Separator. Attach the two blue Satellite In stickers from the receiver User’s Guide to the two

Satellite In cables near the receiver.

5. Check Switch: Run a Check Switch test. Make sure that the results show the correct LNBF(s),

switch(es), and satellite locations, and that the results match for satellite tuner 1 and 2.

6. Software download: Take a software download by selecting Cancel or Done from the Point

Dish/Signal screen and selecting Yes on the next screen. The software download takes between 15 and

30 minutes to complete.
