Deluxe DSS System
(160-2530)                 Introduction               Faxback Doc. # 19674

WHAT IS THE DSS SYSTEM?

You've purchased the DSS Digital Satellite System, so you already know a
lot of the great things it offers.  You know that the DSS system uses the
latest satellite technology to deliver television programming to your home.
And you know that programs are broadcast in digital format, so the quality
of the picture and audio rivals that of laser discs and CDs.  You know the
dish is small - 18 inches - and that it often can be installed in a matter
of hours.

Those are some of the things you probably know about the DSS system.  But
what about the things you don't know?  For instance ...

    The DSS system works like your TV.  Pick up the DSS remote and push the
    DSS button - a program comes on the TV.  Press the Channel Up/Down
    buttons to scan through the channels.  Press the number keys to go
    directly to a channel.

    There is an on-screen Program Guide.  The Program Guide lists the
    available programs and times.  It is designed to help you select
    regular programs and pay-per-view events.  You can also sort the Guide
    to list only specific types of programs.  You can select Sports, for
    example, and your guide will show current and upcoming sports programs
    only.  Or movies.  Or news.

    There is the DSS on-screen Menu System that allows you to customize
    your system: set up your system, build channel lists, preview coming
    attractions, set spending limits, and receive mail from your program
    providers.

    There are three types of On-line Help to assist you in learning to use
    the DSS system: Auto Help, Help buttons, and the Help menu.  (See
    Faxback Doc. # 19677, "Using On-line Help").

THE ONLY RULE: POINT AND SELECT

You only need to know one rule to use the DSS system: Point and Select.
Once you master this rule, you can use any part of the Program Guide or
the menu system.

What is Point and Select?

The Point and Select methods has two steps.

1.  Point

    You point by pressing the arrow keys on the remote or front panel. 
    Pressing the arrows keys (referred to as the "arrows") moves the
    on-screen highlight to different items in the Program Guide and the
    menu screens.  Pressing an arrow once moves the highlight one space
    in the direction of the arrow.

2.  Select

    Once you have pointed to an item on the screen, select it by pressing
    the SELECT/DISPLAY button on the remote or front panel (called SELECT
    in this manual).  Selecting an item tells the menu system to go
    ahead and make the change you have indicated.

    For example, the instructions in the User's Manual might tell you to:
    Point to the Help button and press SELECT.

Now that you know how to use Point and Select, you can use any part of the
DSS system, beginning with the Program Guide.

FCC REGULATIONS

FCC Registration Information

Your DSS equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission
and is in compliance with parts 15B and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

1.  Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating among other
information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) for the equipment.  You must, upon request, provide this information
to your telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to
your telephone and still have all these devices ring when your telephone
number is called.  In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the REN's of all
devices connected to one line should not exceed 5.  To be certain of the
number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company.

NOTE:  This equipment may no be used on coin service provided by the
       telephone company.

Party line are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able
to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line.  Check with
your local telephone company.

Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection
of your DSS equipment from your line.

2.  Rights of the Telephone Company.

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify
you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.  Where prior
notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the
telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.  In case
of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must:  (1) promptly
notify you of such temporary discontinuance (2) afford you the opportunity
to correct the situation and (3) inform you of your right to bring a
complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E
of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations of procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and
Regulations.  If these changes are expected to affect the use or
performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give
you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted
service.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B Digital Device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15
of FCC Rules.  These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection
against radio and television interference in a residential installation. 
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.  However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception
(which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

    Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for
    radio or television that is "receiving" the interference).

    Change the position of the DSS satellite receiver with respect to the
    radio or television equipment that is receiving interference.

    Move the DSS satellite receiver away from the equipment that is
    receiving interference.

    Plug the DSS satellite receiver into a different wall outlet so that
    the DSS satellite receiver and the equipment receiving interference
    are on different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your
dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestion.  Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a 
helpful booklet, "How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference
Problems". This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.  Please specify stock number
004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
