Key Features Overview

The following information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more
information about the rest of the satellite system’s features and how to use them.

Description: Available on-screen guides include a new Advanced Program
Guide™ which stores up to seven days of programming information and lists
five different channels of programming at a glance.
Requirements: Complete the on-screen assisted setup. You’ll find detailed
instructions how to do this in Chapter 1, Connections & Setup.
Interactive Channel Banner
Description: A transparent banner at the top of the picture allows direct access
to the key features of the digital satellite receiver including a way to display the
Main Menu, viewing suggestions, program details, on-screen Caller ID Display

the Scout™ keyword/phrase and the AlphaSort™ alphabetical search features,
and alternate audio offerings.

different icons using the remote control’s arrow buttons. Select the highlighted

Dolby Digital Sound Capability
Description: Dolby Digital® (when available) provides six independent
soundtrack channels through the optical and coaxial output jacks. When

decoder.

COMPONENT VIDEO
Description: This connection provides optimum picture quality because the
video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the
connection and connect the left and right audio cables, because the Y PB PR
jacks and cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.
Requirements: A TV with component video input jacks, component video
cables to connect the receiver to a TV. The TV must be tuned to the component
video input channel to see the component video signal.
