System Test

The SYSTEM TEST screen will display the signal strength of all of the transponders on the

quality of the signal transfer between the dish antenna and the SR-HD5 receiver. The SYSTEM
TEST
Menu offers the following options:

Begin Test

receiver. The test may take up to one minute.

Tests and displays indicators of all transponder signals from the satellite
chosen by the Source pop-up menu.

key on the remote control. After a

short period of time, the results of the test will be displayed.

You should perform the cable test for each of the
satellites supported by the dish antenna you selected in
the DISH TYPE screen. If you are setting up your
system to receive signals from Satellites B (110°) and
C (119°), you will need to change source satellites
between each Cable Test.

Note: Not all of the transponders on Satellites
B (119°) and C (110°) are currently being
used. On Satellite B, for example, you may
receive NA (Not Available) indications for
several transponders. This is normal.
