Screen Ratio
Screen Ratio should be set to 4:3 for most televisions, which is the default. This indicates that you are
using a standard format television screen. However, if you have a wide-screen television, you may
want to change this setting to the 16:9 option. While setting this option to the wrong format will not
harm your TV, it may cause a distorted picture.
Channel Lock
The Channel Lock setting provides a way for you to set your digital satellite receiver to permanently
stay on a specified channel. When the setting is anything other than “- - - -” the digital satellite receiver
will always power up on that channel and will ignore any attempts to change the channel. To allow
channel changing to function again, set this option back to “- - - -.”
Input Key
The Input Key option allows you to enable or disable the functionality of the key on your
remote control. This is useful if you are not using the local TV pass through capability of your digital
satellite receiver and want to avoid getting a snowy picture from inadvertent presses of the key.
Please note that the pass through capability happens automatically when the digital satellite receiver is
powered off.
Demo Mode
The Demo Mode is a feature that is primarily intended for in-store presentations. When enabled, the
digital satellite receiver will step through a variety of features and display messages decribing these
features. While pressing any key will allow you to regain operation of your digital satellite receiver,
this is only temporary. After several minutes of non-interaction, the demonstration will begin again. To
stop the demonstration mode permanently, disable the Demo Mode via this button.
Factory Defaults
If you ever want to reset the digital satellite receiver preferences, select the Factory Defaults button.
Limits
The LIMITS screen provides settings to help you control the viewing restrictions of satellite
programming. These limits, when accompanied by the CHANNEL
LISTS, put a great degree of control in your hands.
