Choosing an alternate audio format for a program
Many programs on your DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver offer several audio formats.
For example, some programs are available in alternative languages. Some are
available in Dolby Digital format (a high-quality digital audio format).
You can tell if a program offers alternative audio formats by pressing the INFO
button on your remote control while watching a program. If one of these icons
appears in the Channel Banner, an alternative audio format is available:
Indicates that one or more alternative languages are available
for the program.
Indicates that a Dolby Digital version of the audio for the
program is available.
To change the audio format for a program you are watching:
1. While viewing a program, press the AUDIO button on your remote
control (a list of available audio formats for the program you are watching
appears).
2. Highlight the audio format you want to use, then press SELECT (the list
of audio formats disappears and the program audio is now played in the
format you selected).
Changing the User setting
Your HD Receiver allows you to establish groups of preferences for your family,
and for up to four individuals. For each of these users, you can specify the user
name, a unique channel list, and the color and translucency of the on-screen
guides and menus. (Detailed instructions for modifying these user-settings are in
Chapter 5.)
To set your HD Receiver to operate using the settings specied for
one of the users:
1. While viewing a program, press WHO•INPUT on your remote control. The
Who list appears.
2. Highlight the name of the user whose settings you wish to activate, then
press SELECT. The Who list disappears, and the selected user’s settings take
effect.
To clear the Who list without changing the current user, press WHO•INPUT
or EXIT on your remote.
