Many problems can be corrected by performing a simple reset of the DIRECTV® Receiver. If you
experience the image freezes, audio freezes or blank screen, or the system won’t respond to front panel
button or remote control, try one of these:
4 Press the red RESET button behind the access card panel door on the front of the
DIRECTV Receiver, then wait for program guide information to be acquired.
4 If the problems persist, try unplugging the power cord of the DIRECTV Receiver for 15
seconds, then plug it in again.
4 Running the System Test (later in this section) can also help you diagnose and solve many
common problems.

modification is complete. Your receiver must be plugged in to AC power to receive any upgrades. Do
