The Mailbox
The mailbox shows you messages that are sent—or “mailed”—
from your program providers. For example, you may receive a
message calling your attention to a new service.
How to Tell When You Have Mail
There are two ways to tell if you have mail, depending on
whether the satellite receiver is turned on or off.
•
If the satellite receiver is turned on, a mail icon appears in
the upper right corner of the channel marker.
•
If the satellite receiver is turned off, the POWER light on the
front panel of the receiver flashes.
Checking Your Mail
Select Mailbox on the Main menu to view your mail.
1.
Point to a message and press MENU/SELECT. The message
is opened for you to read.
2.
Press MENU/SELECT again to close the letter.
After you read a message and want to erase it, point to
Erase and press MENU/SELECT. When you exit the display
screen, messages not erased are saved in memory.
Alternate Audio Programs
Alternate Audio allows you to select different audio programs
(when available) to be played with the video. For example, audio
broadcast in a second language may be available for certain
programs.
There are two ways to change the audio:
•
Press ALT AUD on the remote.
•
Select
Alternate Audio from the Preferences menu (located
within the
Options menu).
ALT AUD Remote Button
Temporary audio selections are made by pressing ALT AUD on
the remote. All the available audio types are selected one after
another as you continue pressing the ALT AUD button. Once
selected, the chosen audio remains selected until it is changed
or until the satellite receiver is turned off.
Is your POWER Light Flashing?
Don’t worry, your receiver’s not
broken. It means that you have mail.
