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 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.
