Using On-Screen Menus
Receiver Options
The Receiver Options feature allows you to set a default on-screen display language, identify the type of VCR you want the receiver to control, choose
a receiver output channel (the channel that the TV views satellite broadcasting), set up the remote control, select a default picture size, select a Dolby
Digital option, and set the time zone.
Use the remote control’s arrow and SELECT buttons to navigate through these menus, or you can use the digit buttons on the remote control to select
a numbered on-screen item.
Languages
This menu allows you to select menu and audio languages. You can choose between English and
Spanish for the menu language.
You can choose from a variety of audio languages to be heard if a program is simulcast in that
language. If that language is not available for that broadcast, the programming will be heard in
its default language.
Set VCR Type
Use the arrow, SELECT, and number buttons of the remote control to follow the menu options
displayed when you select the Set VCR Type menu button. These screens will allow the digital
satellite receiver to control a properly attached VCR.
Selecting this button transfers you to a Set VCR Type menu with a scrollable list of
manufacturers displayed in alphabetical order. Scroll to the proper manufacturer, and a list of
codes appears. Use the remote control’s arrow and SELECT or the corresponding number button
to select one of the options.
Notes: If you select Code Search from the list of codes, the satellite system will automatically try every code in
the list until the proper one is used.
If you do not see your VCR manufacturer’s name, select Other (at the bottom of the list) and enter the
appropriate code from the “Using the Remote” section.
Follow the on-screen instructions until the Set VCR Type feature is properly set.
Output Channel
This feature allows you to change the TV channel to which the satellite receiver broadcasts its
signal. The default setting is channel 3, which means the TV must be tuned to channel 3 to see
the satellite receiver’s picture.
Note: If you used A/V cables to connect your digital satellite receiver to your TV, then you must use the TV’s
video line input to see the satellite broadcast.
Remote Setup
This allows you to choose which remote control button will control the digital satellite receiver. You can choose between DIRECTV and AUX1 buttons.
The default is DIRECTV.
Use the remote control’s arrow and SELECT buttons to make your choice and follow the on-screen instructions.
Picture Size
Selecting Picture Size allows you to select the type of TV connected to the receiver. You can choose between Normal (4X3) or Cinema (16X9). The
default is Normal.
