Picture Size
The Picture size display screen allows you to choose between a
standard TV screen and a Cinema option. A standard TV screen
has an aspect ratio of 4:3; the Cinema option has an aspect ratio
of 16:9.
You should only use the Cinema option if you have a
CinemaScreen
®
TV; using the Cinema option on a standard TV
screen could crop the picture.
System Test
The System Test display screen is accessed through the
Options
menu, and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the
DSS
®
system. You should use this feature to get your Access
Card number, or when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working
correctly. There are four separate tests: signal, tuning, phone
connection, and access card.
A message screen appears, telling you whether the system
passed each test. If your system fails a test, run the system test
several times before concluding that there is a problem.
Occasional fluctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can
give temporary false readings.
New Access Card Setup
Periodically, your program provider may issue you a
replacement access card. The New Access Card Setup display
screen allows you to transfer the information from the old card
onto the new one.
Follow the display screen prompts to initialize your new card.
Once you have transferred the information to the new card, your
old card becomes invalid.
Because your specific account information and custom settings
are stored in the access card, power failures should have no
effect on your DSS
®
system.
