Running the Interactive Setup
You should have completed the interactive setup the first time you plugged in your
TV. However, if you need to access the interactive setup again, you can access it
through the Assistance menu.
1. Press MENU on the remote control to access the main menu.
2. Select Assistance from the main menu.
3. Select Interactive Setup and follow the on-screen directions.
The steps involved in the interactive setup include:
• Setting the time and date
• Searching for channels
• Setting up speakers
• Selecting an audio processor
• Specifying your satellite dish antenna type and finding coordinates
• Viewing the signal meter and running the system test
Note that if you do not subscribe to DIRECTV
®
programming, you can select “Skip this
step” for specifying satellite dish antenna type and running the system test.
Getting Antenna Information
The Antenna Info menu helps you assess the availability of available TV channels. It is
useful for checking the strength of digital channels, obtaining all channels possible,
and adjusting any terrestrial TV antennas.
• Press MENU to bring up the main menu, select Assistance, then Antenna Info.
The Antenna Info screen reports the status of the signal search and lists channels that are
being received or have been received from all terrestrial antennas. To switch between
antennas, highlight a channel and then press ANTENNA on the remote control.
When getting antenna information, the screen lists:
• the channel number,
• the station name, if available,
• whether the channel is digital or analog,
• which antenna is receiving the signal, and
• if a digital channel, the current signal strength.
The channel list consists of all channels being received or that have been received
from terrestrial antennas.
The interactive setup process
allows you to complete all steps
or selectively skip steps.
Note that if you highlight
a channel in the Antenna
Info menu, you tune to
the channel and, if
digital, get a real-time
update of the signal
strength.
