Setting the Address of your Digital Satellite Receiver
and Remote Control
To avoid interference between your remote control and your neighbors that may have the same model
remote control, you should change the address of your components. This is similar to choosing a
channel on a cordless phone so that you and your neighbors don't hear each others' conversations.
See the chapter, "Programming Your Remote Control" for the instructions to accomplish this.
Now You Can Turn It On
Once you have connected everything, you can begin powering up the components. Turn the TV on and
set it to the DIRECTV System channel (3 or 4) or input (video or S-video). Do the same for the VCR,
if applicable. Now turn the digital satellite receiver on. You will see the start-up screen for several
seconds, followed by a black screen with the message at the bottom:
“Searching for satellite signal. To access related utilities, press .”
If so, this is good! If not, try pressing the key while the remote control is in "SAT" mode. If that
doesn’t work, check all of the connections.
You’re well on your way to enjoying your DIRECTV System.
