HITACHI DIGITAL SATELLITE SYSTEM OWNE'R'S MANUAL
One additional key that appeazs on both the front panel and the remote control is the
key. This key is used to retrieve descriptive information about a currently airk_g event and to
provide access to scheduling information (and purchasing information for PPVs) about
highlighted programs in the PROGRAM GUIDE.
The final key that appears on both the remote control and the front panel is the _ key.
Make sure the remote control is in DSS mode for the d'ff'_ll_r/"ff_ k ey to apply to the DSS
receiver. When you power the DSS receiver off, is has not actually stopped using electricity.
Rather goes into a standby condition that enables it to continue to monitor data being sent from
the service providers, call in status reports to the service providers, start and stop a VCR for
programs you have scheduled, receive messages, and perform other background activities. The
only apparent changes that occur in the standby condition are that the video is shut off, the IN
FROM ANTENNA connector signals are passed through to the OUT TO TV connector, and
the power light is off.
There are three keys on your remote control that you will likely
use frequently.
They
are
([[_,
(_i), and (_llD.
After you have established favorite channel lists, as described in Chapter 6, "Your Hitachi
Receiver's Main Menu," you will want to cycle through these lists quickly and easily. This is
accomplished by pressing the _ key. Each press will advance to the next fist which contains
channels. After stepping through the favorite lists it will cycle back to "All Channels."
At any time, you can exit the PROGRAM GUIDE or menus through on-screen navigation,
working your way back to the MAIN MENU and selecting Exit to UieMng. This can be time
consuming, so a much quicker way is to press the _ key.
The _ key is only of use in the DSS mode if your DSS receiver is connected to your
entertainment system through RF, rather that video or S-video. If you are using RF, pressing the
key will switch the output between DSS programming and local broadcasts similar to the
way the _ key works. The reason that you may want to have local broadcasts passed
through but not turn the DSS receiver off is so you can watch or record local broadcasts while
recording or watching DSS programming through the A/V connectors.
With knowledge of these few keys you should be able to navigate through almost every
Hitachi-brand DSS receiver feature and menu.
