CONTROLLING THE
HITACHI-BRAND DSS
RECEIVER
Now It is Time for You to Take
Control!
You are the master of your Hitachi digital satellite receiver. It does
what you tell it to. Take a few minutes to read through this chapter to
begin to understand how to "drive" your system.
Let's begin with a few simple rules. First, there is nothing that you can do, using the front panel
keys or the remote control keys, that could harm your DSS receiver in any way. Once you
understand the capabilities and options available in your receiver, you'll be able to undo any
changes or settings that you make.
The next important rule is to have fun! The features of your Hitachi-brand DSS receiver are
intended to make watching TV more enjoyable. It isn't necessary to know everything your system
can do right away. Learn the capabilities a little at a time. As you use your DSS receiver, the
techniques to control it will become second nature.
Front Panel vs. Remote Control
Keys
The front pand provides all of the basic controls needed to access and use the primary features of
the DSS receiver. The remote control has many more keys to provide shortcuts or access to
extended features of the DSS receiver. Most of the remote control keys can also be used to
control other components in your entertainment system. For this reason, you must remember to
press the _ key, putting the remote control in DSS mode, when you want to control your
DSS receiver. When the remote control keys are pressed, the device key for which the signals are
being sent will light.
Basic Navigation
The most common DSS-reiated keys that you will use are A, V, _, _, and l_l--dl_'_. The
direction keys are represented by four distinct keys on the DSS receiver front panel, or with a
single pad on the remote control. These keys are primarily used to move the highlight (also
known as a cursor) around the screen. The _ key should be pressed to indicate that a
highlighted item is the one that you wish to choose.
Another key you will be using frequently is the q_[]]][l_ key, located on both the front pand of
the DSS receiver as well as on the remote control This key is used when you want to display the
PROGRAM GUIDE. Once you are in the guide, pressing the _ key while a program title
is highlighted will display any available description text at the top of the screen.
