The RESOLUTION SELECT switch

The RESOLUTION SELECT switch is behind a flip-down door on the right side of the front panel of the HD receiver. To open this door, push firmly on the top right part of the door to unlatch it. Then, gently pull the door out and down. The front panel door will flip down.

Set the RESOLUTION SELECT switch to the resolution setting that looks the best on your monitor or TV (see Chapter 1 for more information on resolutions).

Note: See your monitor or TV user’s guide for information regarding its native video resolution.

Close the flip-down door.

To watch the DIRECTV HD Receiver on your monitor or TV:

For most RCA, GE or Proscan monitors or TVs:

Press TV on the remote control that came with your HD Receiver. Then press the WHO•INPUT button on the remote until you see the signal from the HD Receiver on your TV or monitor.

For brands other than RCA, GE or Proscan:

Consult your TV Owner’s Manual.

If you cannot find your TV Owner’s Manual, you will have to investigate. You might access the TV’s video input channel by:

pressing a button on the TV’s remote control, the HD Receiver’s remote control or on the front of the TV (see the box below)

finding it through the TV’s menu system

tuning directly to it by pressing a specific channel number (see the box below)
