programming and menus. There are just as many ways to
access a TV’s video input channel as there are brands and models of TVs.
Below are some things you can try.
• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or Proscan, press TV on the remote
control that came with your DIRECTV System. Then press the
WHO•INPUT button on the remote.
• If your TV brand is not RCA, GE, or Proscan, consult your TV Owner’s
Manual.
If you cannot find your TV Owner’s Manual, you will have to investigate.
You might access the TV’s video input channel by:
• pressing a button on the remote control
• finding it through the TV’s menu system
• tuning directly to it by pressing a specific channel number
• going through all channels in the list by pressing the channel up or
down buttons on the TV
The box below lists some of the different ways manufacturers label the
video input channel.
