Use the ▲▼ arrow buttons to display the available VCTs. This ESPN system uses 639.

Additional Details:
After making required connections, connect to AC power and allow the unit to boot up.
When a new unit first boots up after being plugged in, this appears on the front panel, for a few seconds.
This example shows firmware version “1E6”. (Ignore the digits after the decimal point.)
When a unit is up and running, an “Install” menu labeled “Firmware” has the version.
From the main/DSR-6100 menu, move the cursor to “Install” and press ENTER.
Press the ▲ arrow button until the “FIRMWARE” menu appears.
The field labeled “High” is the current
version.
The “Upgrade” field tells us what version (if any) is currently loading into the DSR-6100.
