Alternate Audio Display Screen
When you select Alternate Audio from the
Preferences menu,
the Alternate Audio display screen comes up.
Point to an audio language, and press MENU/SELECT. A check
mark next to a language option means you have selected that
language. The satellite system will then automatically set the
audio program to the selected audio program type when that
type is available.
Picture Size
The Picture size display screen allows you to 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.
System Test
The System Test display screen is accessed through the Options
menu, and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the
satellite system. You should use this feature to get your Access
Card number, or when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working
correctly. There are four separate tests: signal, tuning, phone
connection, and access card.
A message screen appears, telling you whether the system
passed each test. 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 failure readings.
New Access Card Setup
Periodically, your program provider may issue a replacement
access card. The New Access Card Setup display screen allows
you to transfer the information from the old card onto the new
one.
Follow the display screen prompts to initialize your new card.
Once you have transferred the information to the new card, your
old card becomes invalid.
Because your specific account information and custom settings
are stored in the access card, power failures should have no
effect on your satellite system.
Regarding Picture Size...
You should only use the Cinema option
if you have a wide screen TV; using the
Cinema option on a standard TV screen
could crop the picture.
