the installation, use, and servicing of this product.
Read Instructions – All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance
is operated.
Retain Instructions – The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance
and in the operating instructions should be followed.
Cleaning – Unplug this video product from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Attachments – Do not use attachments not
recommended by the video product manufacturer
as they may cause hazards.
Water and Moisture – Do not use this video
product near water – for example, near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of
any kind into this video product through openings
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the video product.
Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation
of the video product and to protect it from
overheating. The openings must not be blocked or
covered by placing the video product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video
product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This video product should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.
Accessories – Do not place this video product on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The video product may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any
mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use
a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.
MSD5000 Satellite Operating Guide
An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
Power Sources – This video product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
For video products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Power-Cord Protection – Power supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
Grounding or Polarization – This video product is
equipped with a polarized alternating-current (AC)
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

Important Safeguards
Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the video
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NAPA
No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See the
National Electrical Code example below.
Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacements parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this
video product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
A.
When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
B.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the video product.
C. If the video product has been exposed to
rain or water.
D. If the video product does not operate
normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the
video product to its normal operation.
E.
If the video product has been dropped or
the cabinet has been damaged.
F.
When the video product exhibits a distinct
change in performance, this indicates a
need for service.
Safety Check – Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this video product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the video product is in proper
operating condition.
Lighting – For added protection for this video
product during a lightning storm, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the video
product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Power Lines – An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
Servicing – Do not attempt to service this
video product yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

FCC Regulations
FCC Registration Information
Your DIRECTV equipment is registered with
the Federal Communications Commission and is
in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules
and Regulations.
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 line
and still have 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 not be used on coin
service provided by the telephone company.
Party lines 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.
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 compliant to the Commission pursuant to
procedures set forth in Subpart E of part 68, FCC
Rules and Regulations.
MSD5000 Satellite Operating Guide
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 tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device
in accordance with the specification 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
unplugging the unit), 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).
o
o Change the position of the DIRECTV satellite
receiver with respect to the radio or television
equipment that is receiving interference.
o Move the DIRECTV satellite receiver
o
away from the equipment that is
receiving interference.
Plug the DIRECTV satellite receiver into a
different wall outlet so that the DIRECTV
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
experience radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. 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.

DIRECTV System
What is the DIRECTV System?
Welcome to the high-tech, sophisticated world of DIRECTV
television, often just called a DIRECTV system. This is the ultimate
in broadcasting technology, providing a picture and audio quality
once only available in laser disc or CDs. There are many
advantages to the DIRECTV system like the small dish antenna,
digital quality, and hundreds of program choices. And your new
MSD5000 also offers you features not commonly found on
other receivers.
System Features
o StarSight™ Direct Tuning — Tune directly to a desired channel
by program title.
o One Touch Record — Just press one button to easily set the
timer to record or view a program.
o Theme Search — Easy theme search by category and
sub-category.
o 60 Favorite Channels — Program up to 60 favorite channels for
instant access.
o Information Key — With the touch of a button, display information
about the current program or about a program in the guide.
o Single Channel Guide — From most guides, you can bring up a
list of programs for a desired channel.
o Open/Closed Program Guide — Quickly close the program guide
into a “channel surf” mode which allows you to see what is
currently on a channel.
o Parental Lock, Rating, & Spending Limits — Using a password
for access, you can lock out unwanted channels or set rating and
spending limits.
o Universal Remote Control — Your remote control can also
control your television, VCR, and cable box, or laser disc player.
o Receiver Control Codes — Your remote control can be
programmed so that you can have multiple DIRECTV receivers in
your home.
o S-Video & A/V Outputs — Your receiver has both types of
outputs so it can easily be integrated with other home equipment,
including home theater equipment.
o Wide Band Data Port — This port allows you to connect the
DIRECTV system to future services and accessories as they
become available. Some additional equipment may be necessary.

On Screen Programming
What is On-Screen Programming
You have probably heard this term many times, but you may not be
really familiar with what it means. Simply, On-Screen Programming
makes it easier for you to do the things you want without having to
read through lots of information. Just press a button on your remote,
read the screen, and select what you want. It’s that easy!
For example, lets say you want to know what’s on tonight. You
could get your daily newspaper or TV magazine, find the right
section or day, and then try to find the program you want. Or, you
could just turn your TV and DIRECTV system on, take your remote,
and press G. Every program available from your service
provider can be displayed on-screen. You just scan through the
easy-to-read program guide.
If you see something you want to watch, but want to know more
about it or who is in it, just press INFO. And the description of the
show, its time, who’s in it, and its rating immediately displays. Your
MSD5000 will save you time and make choosing what you want as
simple as pressing a button.
How It Works: Highlighting and Selecting
You’re probably thinking it’s going to take a long time to learn this,
right? Well, if you’ll remember one simple tip — Highlight and
Select. You’ll be an expert as soon as you point your remote at your
DIRECTV system! There are only a few buttons on your remote
that you’ll need to learn, and you’ll have mastered, “Highlight
and Select."
The Arrow Keys and Select
On your remote there are five keys grouped together which allow
you to quickly choose any on-screen item: :;< > and S. You
just press the arrow keys to highlight an item you want on a screen.
Once something is highlighted, press Sto choose it. Selecting
an item tells your receiver to go ahead and make the change you’ve
indicated. That’s it! That’s all there is to On-Screen Programming. If
you want to move the highlight up, press the : key. To move the
highlight down, press the ; key. Each time you press a key, the
on-screen highlight moves in the direction of the arrow. When
you’ve highlighted what you want, press S.
MSD5000 Satellite Operating Guide
13
On Screen Programming
Direct Entry Method
To make it even faster to highlight certain choices, some items on a
screen are numbered, such as Menu Items or Channels. To
highlight a numbered item, press the number on your remote’s
keypad. When the number is entered, the highlight moves directly
to the entry and selects it. This is a big help if, for example, your
changing channels.
Let’s say you pressed G and the on-screen Program Guide is
displayed. Now you have highlighted channel 202 but you want to
skip to Channel 740. You could press the down arrow ; and scroll
through many channels to get there or just press 7, 4, 0 on
the keypad and the on-screen highlight would move directly to
Channel 740. This is helpful time-saver is referred to as the “Direct
Channel Entry.”
Paging through Menus
One of the great things
about the DIRECTV
system is there are lots
and lots of programs!
But, they can’t always fit
on one screen, so you
may see a guide with
arrows pointing off the
screen or a “window
indicator.” These
indicators just mean
there is more to see.

Consider the example above about changing channels. You can
use Direct Entry, or you can use the Page Feature. Press PAGE on
your remote. Now each time you press : or ; the screen moves 9
channels at a time instead of just one. If you press the > key, the
Program Guide displays upcoming programs. You can find any
program, on any channel, quickly and easily.
Getting Help
“What if I forget?" or “What if I’m not sure what to do?” Well,
HELP is usually a choice on every screen. There are two types of
help information:

Quick Instructions
Your DIRECTV receiver is programmed to provide you with the
information you need to answer most of your questions right on
each screen, so you don’t have to look somewhere else. If you’re
not sure what something is or what it does, highlight the item and
look at the yellow help bar at the bottom of the screen. There will
usually be a short instruction telling you what the option does. Quick
Instructions change automatically and can usually answer your
question without having you display another Help Screen.

Favorites
By now you probably know there are many channels, but you may
not want to look through all the different channels to find the
programs you like best. Favorites provides the opportunity for you
to store 10 of your most watched channels in an easy access guide.
Now instead a paging through all the channels in the Program
Guide, you can simply select one of the six different Favorite
Guides and immediately find what you like to watch.
Favorite Profiles
There are 6 different profiles in Favorites which each store up to 10
of your favorite channels. Each profile can be given a different
name, so everyone in your family can have there own “Favorites”
guide. Or you can set up different categories like Sports, Movies,
News, etc, and then store different channels in each category.
When you recall the Sports Favorites, for example, all of your
favorite sports channels will be displayed for you.
Storing Favorites
To set up a profile in Favorites, you must display the Favorite
Store Screen.
Note When you recall the Favorite Store screen the first time, there are
no profiles stored, so the Favorites Store screen displays. This
allows you to setup the names of your profiles.

Your Remote Control
Setting the DIRECTV Mode
While the remote is in DIRECTV mode, all remote keys operate
your DIRECTV receiver. When there is more than one receiver in a
room, there is a possibility that different remotes will interfere with
each other. To prevent this, your remote can be programmed with
eight different DIRECTV remote codes.
For the remote control to operate correctly, it must match the
receiver’s remote setting. This means that if you change your
remote control’s code, you must also change the receiver’s code.
Changing the Remote’s Code
To change the remote control code, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the P key for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the
four mode keys begin to flash.
2. Press the DIRECTV mode key.
(Once this key is pressed the other mode keys stop flashing and
are turned off.)
3. Enter one of these eight 3-digit codes for your remote.
(101, 102, 103, 104, 201, 202, 203, 204)
4. After the code is entered, the mode key flashes twice if a correct
code has been entered.
Note The code on your receiver must match the code on your remote. If
not, the remote will not work.
Changing the Receiver’s Code
To change the receiver’s remote control code, follow these steps:
1. Press TV/DIRECTV and
SELECT on the front
panel of your receiver at
the same time.
