HUGHES-BRAND DIRECTV SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL
NOTE: If you should sort the channels by name, please take note. The use of the
and
keys
to step through the channels will appear to change channels a random order when, in fact, the
channels are sorted and tuned to in alphabetical order.
Scheme
The SCHEME pop-up menu enables you to select a color scheme that will be used with your on-
screen guides and menus.
Language
The DEFAULT LANGUAGE pop-up menu enables you to specify the language track that you would
prefer to accompany the programs that you watch. While English is the default language, you may
choose an alternate language. If a program is available in the language that you choose, the program
will be heard in that language. Otherwise, the language that you will hear will be the primary language
in which the program is being broadcast.
Filters
The default setting for Filters is "Temporary." With a setting of "Temporary," each time that you leave
the on-screen guide, all filters other than Channel List will reset (all categories and complete class). If
you should change the Filters setting to "Persistent," any filtering that you should happen to do will
survive exiting the on-screen guide and be usable for the OneLine Guide and still be in effect when
returning to the on-screen guide at a later time.
Advanced Preferences
The ADVANCED PREFERENCES screen provides options for setting features that are less likely to
require changes once they are set. Most installation will not require
any changes on this screen.
This screen also provides a means to reset all preference options to
the factory settings.
Things to do on the ADVANCED
PREFERENCES screen

receiver. If both receivers are in the same room or you are using an
RF remote control or a remote control extender, you may experience interference between signals
intended for one receiver or the other. To avoid this "cross talk," simply highlight the Receiver ID
button and press
on the remote control that is to control that specific digital satellite receiver.
Remember to set your remote control to the desired code first. For information regarding changing the
remote control's code, see the chapter, "Programming Your Remote Control."
Data Port
For those receiver models which provide data ports you may choose which port will be used by
default.
Phone Prefix
In some installation environments you may need to dial what is know as a prefix to access an outside
line. Commonly this is either an 8 or a 9, if even used at all. You may specify up to 3 digits that are
required for this purpose.
