This section provides important operating information regarding the setup and
operation of your PowerVu Headend Satellite Receiver and satellite antenna signal
source, including signal search. Before you begin using the receiver, it is important
that you read all of the information in this section first. If you are modifying your
receiver or system configuration, you may need to change the current settings to
suit your operating requirements.
Because some or all of the receiver setup can be Password-protected, you may or
may not be permitted to make changes to the current settings.
Both the menu interface and the Alt Mode interface can be used interchangeably
for performing most receiver setup tasks, since both are operated via receiver op-
erating system software. However, not all menu interface functions are duplicated
by the Alt Mode interface. Depending on how you have installed and connected
the Headend Satellite Receiver, you may or may not be able to use the menu inter-
face. If the receiver is connected to a TV/video display monitor, you can view or
change the current receiver setup via on-screen menus. Conversely, if no TV/video
display monitor connection is available, only the front panel Alt Mode interface
can be used for receiver setup, and you will not need to reference instructions pro-
vided for operating the various menus.

While viewing any channel, you can use Alt Mode functions to view the current
receiver setup, or you can view or change the current setup from the Installer
Channel. Alt Mode functions are available via receiver front panel buttons. Alt-1
function labels are printed directly on the keypad bezel above each button (see
Figure 4). Alt-2 functions are also associated with front panel buttons, except that
the function names are not printed on the keypad bezel (see “

numbers using front panel buttons”). As with the menu interface, access to Alt
Mode functions is controlled by system Lock Levels and the security Password.
More information about Lock Levels and the Password is contained in this section.
For detailed information about how each of the Alt-1 and Alt-2 functions are used
to set up the receiver, see “Alt Mode operation”.

While viewing any channel, you can display on-screen menus for viewing or

mation which is available for viewing only, and cannot be changed. Numbered
