SETTING
UP YOUR
HITACHI
DIGITAL
SATELLITE
SYSTEM
Don't
Panic--It's
Easier
Than
You Think
Setting
up your new Hitachi
digital
satellite
system
is much easier
than assembling
a train set or a bicycle.
You should
be watching
DSS
programming
in a very short time. t
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your Hitachi digital satellite system
and connecting
it to your television or entertainment
system. As you are reading this now, it is
assumed that you have already opened and unpacked the box.
The receiver carton includes the receiver itself, an Access Card (aLready installed in the receiver
behind the door), a remote control with four AAA batteries, a 6-foot length of coaxial cable, a 25-
foot length of telephone cord, a 6-foot A/V cable, a VCR Control cable, and this manual. Some
models may also include an S-video cable. Contact your dealer if any part is missing or damaged.
Please save all packing materials until the installation of your system is complete in case anything
needs to be returned.
You now need to decide where you want to place your DSS receiver. Avoid installing the receiver
in a location where the power cord or cables could be inadvertently
disconnected.
Obviously,
choose a place near your TV. The location should also be well ventilated. Do not set electronic
components
or other objects (including this manual) on top of the receiver or block its cooling
vents.
If you have not already installed your DSS dish and run the cable to your DSS receiver area, you
should do so now. It is recommended
that you have your dish professionally installed. This is due
to safety issues, dectrcal
codes, and assurance of a quality installation. If you should choose to
perform
the installation
yourself, please
pay special
attention
to the precautions
in the
front
of this
manual
and
refer to the
Satellite
Antenna
Installation
Guide
that
accompanied
your DSS antenna.
