PRODUCT LAUNCH BULLETIN: ViP622 DVR™

Introduction

ViP622 DVR is the first dual-tuner, two-TV DISH Network receiver compatible with the MPEG-4 compression

standard. ViP622 DVR supports high definition (HD) for TV1, provides DVR functionality for both TV1 and TV2

and includes one digital off-air tuner. Refer to Quick Facts: ViP622 DVR for additional information.

Considerations

 TV1 video is provided by two HD video outputs (HDTV digital audio/video for connection to HDMI

HDTVs and Component - YPbPr) and two standard definition (SD) video outputs (S-Video and RCA). TV1

audio is provided by either RCA left/right or Digital Audio output. The user has the option to select which

TV1 video output (HD or SD) to synchronize with the TV1 audio (see Installation Instructions on page 3 for

more information).

 An off-air tuner is included which receives only digital off-air channels, not analog off-air channels. To

watch analog off-air channels, the TV’s tuner must be used.

 The Agile Modulated output supports a modulated channel carrying TV1 programming in addition to the

modulated channel which carries TV2 programming. This feature provides the option to view TV1 or TV2

programming on any connected remote TV. When the system is locked, a password must be entered to

enable the TV1 Out. Refer to Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2) in Chapter 12 of the User’s Guide

or Quick Facts: TV1/TV2 Agile Output for additional information.

 ViP622 DVR has two USB 2.0 ports, one on the front panel and one on the back panel. These ports can be

used for Multimedia features similar to those of a DISH Player-DVR 942, including transferring of recorded

events to the PocketDISH Portable Media Player and Recorder.

 DISH on Demand features are supported and are accessed by pressing the DVR button and selecting “Movies

& More”.

 One Ethernet port is included on the back panel and is reserved for future use.

Initial Installation Tips

 Software for the ViP622 DVR is not available from the 110° satellite location. To download software for the

ViP622 DVR, you must have signal from one of the following satellite locations: 119°, 61.5°, 148°, 121°, or

105°.

 Use Remote Control 1 (IR) to perform the initial receiver installation. Similar to the DISH Player-DVR 942,

Remote Control 2 (UHF Pro) is preset at the factory to a random remote address between 1 and 16, and is set

up to control the receiver in a later step of the installation. See Installation Instructions on page 3.

 Remote Control 2, indicated with the blue TV2 key, has a small A/B switch under the battery cover that

changes the remote to a different UHF frequency. The default setting for this switch is the “A” position, and

should only be changed to avoid UHF interference from other devices. Changing the frequency between A or

B requires re-synchronizing the receiver to the remote on the System Information screen.

 Default output resolution for the HD outputs is 480p. During installation, change the resolution to 720p or

1080i as appropriate for the connected HDTV.

 Do not connect a phone line to the Ethernet port. All phones in the household will stop functioning if a phone

line is accidentally plugged into this port.

 The default mode of the ViP622 DVR is dual mode, supporting independent viewing on two TVs.

 The default mode for TV1 audio synchronization is to synchronize with the HD video outputs.
