Alternate Audio Display Screen
When you select Alternate Audio from the Preferences menu, the
Alternate Audio display screen comes up.
Point to the audio program type you want and press MENU•SELECT. A
check mark next to the program means you have selected that program.
The DSS
®
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 DSS
®
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 readings.
New Access Card Setup
Periodically, your program provider may issue you 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
DSS
®
system.
You should only use the Cinema
option if you have a CinemaScreen
®
TV; using the Cinema option on a
standard TV screen could crop the
picture.
