Chapter 4 Installation Instructions How to Use these Instructions These instructions guide you through the installation of a satellite system which includes your DishPro receiver (included with this manual), and a DishPro antenna system that can be identified by the DishPro logo shown below.
Chapter 4 Installation Instructions 2. Make sure that the remote control batteries are fresh, and are installed properly. If needed, make sure that the remote is in SAT mode to control the satellite receiver. 3. Turn ON the television and receiver. 4. Display the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu by pressing MENU and and then 6-1-1 (unless the receiver already displays this menu). 5. If you Point Dish/Signal screen looks like the one on the left, continue to step 6.
Installing a DISH 500 Antenna Mounting the Dish 1. Using these azimuth and elevation angles, find a location for the satellite dish which can be pointed towards the satellites located at these angles. With a compass, find the required azimuth angle. Then, use the elevation angle to find out how high the satellites are in the sky from your location. Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the dish and the satellites. 2.
Chapter 4 Installation Instructions 4. Assemble the satellite dish as shown below, except do not attach the Ybracket or LNBF at this time. 5. Loosen both skew bolts and set the skew by rotating the dish mounting bracket to align the red mark with the required angle on the skew scale which you wrote down on 84. Tighten the skew bolts securely to keep the dish from rotating. Once the skew is set, do not try to fine-tune this angle when aiming the dish. 6.
Installing a DISH 500 Antenna Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss.
Chapter 4 Installation Instructions below. Be sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the receiver. Port 2 Port 1 Connect to Port 1. It’s on the left when the LNBF is pointed towards you 10. Attach the LNBF to the Y-bracket using the two LNBF screws. 11. Slide the dish assembly down onto the mast.

Chapter 4 Installation Instructions Notes Page 104
Chapter 5 Reference USE THE TROUBLESHOOTING TABLES You can often save yourself time if you troubleshoot the system before you call the Customer Service Center! 1. If the receiver displays an Error message on the TV screen, see the On-Screen Messages table on page 112. Also, check the cables and make sure their connections are tight. If the receiver doesn’t display an Error message, go on to step 2. 2.
Chapter 5 Reference CHANNEL CHANGES What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do Maybe you made a mistake when you entered the channel number, or maybe the channel number you entered doesn’t work. If so, the receiver tunes to the channel closest to the channel you entered. If you entered the number for a channel you haven’t bought, the receiver tunes to the channel and gives you the choice to buy it. • Carefully enter the channel number you want again.
Use the Troubleshooting Tables DOLBY DIGITAL SOUND What’s Happening Instead of Dolby® Digital sound, you hear only regular stereo or non-stereo sound. What’s Wrong What You Can Do • Maybe the program you’re watching doesn’t have Dolby Digital sound. • Not all programs have Dolby Digital sound. Check the program’s Program Guide entry for the (DD) mark. • Maybe you selected the wrong sound option on the Dolby Digital Setup menu. • • Maybe the amplifier/decoder can’t process Dolby Digital sound.
Chapter 5 Reference EVENT TIMERS What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do Remember, a Once event timer works just one time for one program, at the program’s actual time. A Mon-Fri event timer works Monday through Friday on the same channel at the same time, not keyed to any program. A Daily event timer does the same, Monday through Sunday. A Weekly event timer works once a week on the same channel at the same time, not keyed to any program.
Use the Troubleshooting Tables EVENT TIMERS What’s Happening You set a VCR Event Timer, but the VCR doesn’t record the program you want. What’s Wrong • • • Maybe you didn’t turn on the VCR, or put a rewound tape in, or maybe you took the write-protect tab off the tape. If you use the receiver back panel TV Set Out ports in the wiring setup, maybe you didn’t set the receiver channel 3/4 setting and both the VCR modulator output and viewing channel to either 3 or 4.
Chapter 5 Reference FAVORITE LISTS What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do You press the remote GUIDE button while you’ve got the Program Guide open. You find you can apply only the All Chan list or the All Sub list. If you don’t add channels to any custom Favorite List, you can apply only the All Chan list or the All Sub list. You must add channels to a custom Favorite List before you can apply it. You try to change the All Chan list or the All Sub list. The receiver displays an Error message.
Use the Troubleshooting Tables MENUS What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do You’re using a menu, and it suddenly closes. The receiver “times out,” and closes any menu after several minutes with no action. This throws away any changes you make, but the receiver is still okay. Start over again. A menu option is “grayed out,” and you can’t select it. The option is for a feature that may come with a future software upgrade. Ignore the option. In the Program Guide, a channel has a red background.
Chapter 5 Reference ON-SCREEN MESSAGES Note: Here we list on-screen messages in message number order. Just find the message number in the upper right-hand corner of the message, and then find the same number on the Left-hand side of this table. Message Number 001 What’s Wrong Maybe there’s a problem with the multi-dish switch. Make sure all the cables are in place, and their connections are tight. • If this doesn’t work, call the Customer Service Center for help. Check the local weather.
Use the Troubleshooting Tables Message Number What’s Wrong • 015 018 019 • What You Can Do Maybe you just plugged in the receiver, and it’s acquiring the satellite signal. • Wait a few minutes to see if the message goes away. • Make sure all the cables are in place, and their connections are tight. Maybe the receiver briefly lost the signal. • Make sure the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the satellite. • Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the line of sight.
Chapter 5 Reference Message Number What’s Wrong What You Can Do 061 You set up the receiver to get an upgrade of the latest software via the satellite signal. It’s very important for the receiver to get the latest software, so let it. This may take several minutes. Don’t disturb or unplug the receiver while it gets the upgrade. 074 The receiver gives you three chances to enter the right password. If you can’t, the receiver “times out” and won’t allow you to try again for several minutes.
Use the Troubleshooting Tables PAY PER VIEW What’s Happening What’s Wrong What You Can Do Someone orders a pay per view program without asking you. Maybe you were away from the receiver, and someone else used it. Lock pay per view. Remember, you have to pay for all programs you or anyone else buys with the receiver. If you lock pay per view, anyone who wants to order a pay per view program must enter the password. You find you can’t order a pay per view program.
Chapter 5 Reference PICTURE What’s Happening The receiver’s front panel POWER light is on, but the TV image: • is black (no picture), • is frozen, • has break-ups, • has “snow,” or • shows small squares of many colors. The receiver’s front panel POWER light is on, and there’s a picture on the TV screen, but the picture: • has sparkles or is grainy, • has a herringbone pattern, • lacks color or vertical hold, or wobbles, or • looks “washed out” or fuzzy.
Use the Troubleshooting Tables REMOTE CONTROL What’s Happening While you do a remote procedure, the remote control “times out.” You can’t find the remote control.
