• Any time you have a problem with your system, you can run a system test. To run the
test, from Messages & Setup, select “System Test.” The system test checks the
recorder’s signal, tuning, access card and phone connection.
• You may be able to fix the problem yourself. Try restarting the recorder: From
Messages & Setup select “Restart or Reset System,” then “Restart the Recorder.” If
you cannot fix the problem, call DIRECTV Customer Care at 1-800-DIRECTV (1-
