Congratulations on your purchase of the Sony brand Digital

entertainment experience.
This installation manual is provided to help you plan and complete
the installation of your satellite antenna. The step-by-step
instructions are organized in sequential order for your convenience.
Read through the entire manual once before you attempt to install
the antenna.
The satellite antenna can be installed in a few hours. You may
choose to install it yourself, or you may prefer to have it
professionally installed. If you plan on installing the antenna
yourself, you should be able to:
□ Use a power drill (not for bolts), magnetic compass and
bubble level.
□ Drill a hole through an exterior wall of your house.
□ Locate plumbing, electrical utilities and support beams hidden
in your walls.
□ Comply with local building and electric codes.
□ Route cable under floors and through walls.
Have your antenna professionally installed if you do not feel
comfortable performing any of these functions. Your authorized
Sony retailer can provide a referral to a professional contractor in
your area who has been trained to install the Sony brand Digital
Satellite System (DSS).
If you decide to install the antenna yourself, use this manual to help
you plan and complete the installation. To further assist you, Sony
has an Installation Kit which is sold separately. The kit contains an
installation video and an assortment of cables, bolts, grounding
supplies and other items needed for most installations.
