DIRECTV SYSTEM FROM HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS - OWNER'S MANUAL
Things to do in the ADVANCED PREFERENCES screen
Receiver ID
{ XE "SETUP MENU:Default Audio" } Someday, you may choose to get a second digital satellite
receiver. If both receivers are in the same room or if you are using an RF remote control or a remote
control extender, you may experience interference between signals. To avoid this "cross talk," simply
on the remote control to be used for that specific
highlight the Receiver ID button and press
digital satellite receiver. Remember to set your remote control to the desired code first. For information
regarding changing the remote control code, see the chapter "Programming Your Remote Control."
Phone Prefix
{ XE "SETUP MENU:Default Audio" } In some installation environments you may need to dial a
Phone Prefix to access an outside line. Commonly this is either an 8 or a 9. You may specify up to 3
digits.
Note: This is NOT the first three digits of your telephone number or area code and should be left as "-
- -" if you do not need to dial numbers to obtain an off-site dial tone.
Screen Ratio
{ XE "PREFERENCES screen:Picture Size" } Screen Ratio should be set to 4:3 for most televisions,
which is the default. This indicates that you are using a standard format television screen. However, if
you have a wide-screen television, you may want to change this setting to the 16:9 option. While
setting this option to the wrong format will not harm your TV, it may cause a distorted picture.
Channel Lock
The Channel Lock setting provides a way for you to set your digital satellite receiver to permanently
stay on a specified channel. When the setting is anything other than "- - - -" the digital satellite receiver
will always power up on that channel and will ignore any attempts to change the channel. To allow
channel changing to function again, set this option back to "- - - -."
Input Key
The Input Key option allows you to enable or disable the functionality of the
key on your
remote control. This is useful if you are not using the local TV pass through capability of your digital
satellite receiver and want to avoid getting a snowy picture from inadvertent presses of the
key.
Please note that the pass through capability happens automatically when the digital satellite receiver is
powered off.
Demo Mode
The Demo Mode is a feature that is primarily intended for in-store presentations. When enabled, the
digital satellite receiver will step through a variety of features and display messages decribing these
features. While pressing any key will allow you to regain operation of your digital satellite receiver,
this is only temporary. After several minutes of non-interaction, the demonstration will begin again. To
stop the demonstration mode permanently, disable the Demo Mode via this button.
Factory Defaults
If you ever want to reset the digital satellite receiver preferences, select the Factory Defaults button.
