System Options
System Test The System Test screen is accessed through the Options
menu and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the digital
satellite receiver. Use this feature to get your access card number or
when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working correctly. A message
screen will appear to tell you whether the system passed each test.
Running the System Test is one of the choices in the
System Options menu.
New Access Card Periodically, your program provider may issue you a
replacement access card. The New Access Card setup display screen
allows you to transfer information from the old card onto the new one.
Follow the instructions on the screen to initialize your new card. Once
you have transferred the information to the new card, your old card
becomes invalid. The access card fits into the digital satellite receiver
through the front panel. Because your specific account information is
stored in the access card, power failures should have no effect on your
DIRECTV System.
Output Channel Lets you choose on which channel to view satellite
programming, either channel 3 or channel 4.
Remote Setup Lets you choose which remote button will be used to
control the current satellite receiver.
Picture Size Lets you 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.
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.
