service, so a telephone line should be connected to it. The DVR occasionally makes a brief 
phone call to get updates to the DVR service, Showcases, and  pay per view functionality. 
You can see details of the daily call on the Phone Connection screen, including the time of 
the last successful call and last call attempt, and the status of the last call.

Below the call details are the menu options Change Dialing Options, Make Test Call and 
Make Daily Call Now. If your area code has changed and/or you need to choose a 
different dial-in number, you will need to change your dialing options. You should make a 
test call after any changes to your dialing options.

. After selecting Make Test Call, the Test Phone Connection screen will 

display and the call will start automatically. When the call has finished, press SELECT to 
continue.

. Under normal use, you do not need to make the daily call manually.

option.

After you start the call, the status indicator reads “Starting Up.” The status will update as it 
cycles through various states. You can watch TV and use your DVR while the call is in

which you can change the following settings:
