Using Caller ID

USING CALLER ID

Caller ID displays on your TV the names of people and/or telephone numbers as they call

you if you subscribe to Caller ID from your local phone company. To use this feature, make

sure you have a phone line connected to the receiver and that the Caller ID feature is

enabled.

Caller ID Screens

When you receive a call, you will see a Caller ID popup screen.

You can select OK to eliminate the message. If you do nothing, it will disappear after 20

seconds.

If you are using a menu when a call comes in, you will see a different Caller ID popup

screen.

Setting Up Caller ID Display

Use these instructions to enable or disable Caller ID.

Changing Languages

Using Caller ID History

Use the following instructions to view and delete numbers from your Caller ID History.

CHANGING LANGUAGES

You may be able to change the language of some programs. An alternate language may

not be available for all programs. Some programs, such as movies, indicate at the

beginning whether an alternate language or descriptive video is available. An alternate

language applies only to the audio part of a program and does not change the language

used in the menus displayed by the receiver. Descriptive video—not included on all

channels and programs—is a feature for the visually impaired that describes what is

happening during a program.

Note: If a program contains descriptive video, select Alternate.

Chapter 10

Using Closed Captioning

USING CLOSED CAPTIONING

The receiver supports a variety of closed captioning formats. If turned on in the receiver,

closed captioning is displayed by the receiver through the HDTV Digital Audio/Video and

YPbPr outputs for each format.

The TV SET OUT, RCA video, and S-VIDEO receiver outputs provide closed captioning

information in the audio/video signal. However a closed-captioning compatible TV is

required to decode and display the captioning information the screen. Standard definition

display of closed captioning is a function of the TV and not the receiver. Refer to your TV

manual for enabling and setting up these closed captioning options.

Note: While the Program Guide information might show "CC" for a program, closed

captioning information is provided by programmers and guide data providers to Dish

Network. Therefore, while best efforts are made to provide the most accurate information,

DISH Network is not ultimately responsible for the accuracy of Program Guide and Closed

Captioning information provided by others.

1Press MENU, select Preferences (8), and then Closed Captions (6).

2Select Turn Captions On. The option will change to read Turn Captions Off.

3Select your options:

• Caption Font/Size - Select the font and size that makes the captioning comfortable to

read. When finished making changes, select Done.

• Caption Colors - Sets the background, letter, and edge colors. Choose the color

combinations that makes the captioning easy to see. When finished making changes,

select Done.

• Caption Edge Style - Sets the edge style of the closed captioning text. When finished

making changes, select Done.

• Captioning Service - Selects the service you want to use. When finished making

changes, select Done.

• Caption Opacity - Choose from Provider, Transparent (see-through), Translucent

(semi-see-through), Solid, and Flashing. When finished making changes, select Done.

• Reset CC Defaults.

Using Dolby® Surround Sound

USING DOLBY® SURROUND SOUND

Dolby Digital gives you the capability to enjoy programs in surround sound. An external

decoder is required to enjoy this feature. Refer to your decoder user’s guide.

Note: Not all programs contain a Dolby Digital sound track.

The receiver uses an optical port for outputting digital audio. The optical output can

provide two audio data types: Dolby Digital and Linear PCM (only Dolby Digital can

provide full 5.1-channel sound).

1Connect an external Dolby Digital decoder to the receiver's back panel Digital Audio

Output using an optical cable (available at consumer electronics stores).

2Press MENU, select System Setup (6), and then Dolby Digital (6) to open the Dolby Digital

Setup screen.

3Select one of the following optical output options:

• Dolby Digital Only - Select this option if the stereo system or amplifier can decode

only Dolby Digital and will not process Linear PCM signals. See your amplifier's

owner's manual for more details on the amplifier (and see the following table).

• PCM Only - Select this option only if the stereo system or amplifier cannot decode

Dolby Digital signals.

• Dolby Digital/PCM - Select this option only if the stereo system or amplifier can

decode both Dolby Digital and Linear PCM signals.

The audio output is also dependent on what is present in the program you are watching.

The table below shows what type of output you will hear:

Signal Present in Program

Optical Output Setting Dolby Digital PCM Both

Dolby Digital Only Dolby Digital PCM Dolby Digital

PCM Only PCM (downmix) PCM PCM

Dolby Digital/PCM Dolby Digital PCM Dolby Digital

Chapter 10

Changing the Program Guide Order

Note: When both audio signals are present in the program, the receiver defaults to Dolby

Digital output unless you have selected PCM Only.

Note: If you have selected Dolby Digital Only but there is only PCM audio in the program,

you will hear nothing. This also applies to the analog audio outputs.

4Select one of the following:

• Line Mode. When you use this setting, in comparison to RF Mode, the dynamic range

is wider, which makes the music and loud noises louder, but voices quieter.

• RF Mode. When you use this setting, in comparison with Line Mode, the dynamic

range is narrower, which makes music and loud noises quieter, but voices louder.

5Select Done.

CHANGING THE PROGRAM GUIDE ORDER

You can set up the Program Guide to list channels in descending order, with the highest

channel number at the top, or in ascending order, with the highest channel number at the

bottom.

Note: If you do not set a channel order, the Program Guide lists the channels in

descending order.

1Press MENU, select Preferences (8), and then Channel Order (5).

2Select Ascending or Descending.

3Select Done.

Changing the Guide Display

CHANGING THE GUIDE DISPLAY

However, you can change the way the Program Guide displays.

1Press MENU, select Preferences (8), and then Guide Display (1).

• Standard - Partial Guide with Video. This option is preset when you first set up the

receiver. The Program Guide displays video in the upper right corner and 1.5 hours of

schedule per page.

• Enhanced - Partial Guide with Video. Choose this option if you’d like larger text on

your Program Guide. The Program Guide displays video in the upper right corner and

one hour of schedule per page.

• Extended - Partial Guide with Video. Choose this option if you’d like to see video in

the upper right corner and three hours worth of schedule per page on the Program

Guide.

channels per page in large text on the Program Guide.

channels and three hours of schedule per page on the Program Guide.

3Select Done.

Resetting to Factory Defaults

RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULTS

You can reset the receiver to discard any changes you have made to the receiver, except

for remote control address settings and locks. Resetting the receiver to factory default

settings also discards all Favorite Lists except the All Chan and All Sub lists.

If you have set any locks on the receiver, and the receiver is locked, these locks will be

kept. If the receiver is unlocked, your locks will be lost. You cannot reset the receiver to

default settings to discard a password you have forgotten. No one but a Customer Service

Representative can reset the receiver to bypass a receiver lock.

1Press MENU, select System Setup (6), and then Factory Defaults (5). The receiver

displays a Warning message to confirm that you want to reset the receiver’s preferences.

2Select Yes.

SCHEDULING RECEIVER UPDATES

The receiver comes scheduled to update the Program Guide at 3:00 am every day. This

section describes how to change the Updates settings.

Note: This feature does not interfere with scheduled timers.
