Choosing an alternate audio format for a program

Many programs on your DIRECTV® HD Receiver offer several audio formats. For example, some programs are available in alternative languages. Some are available in Dolby Digital format (a high-quality digital audio format).

You can tell if a program offers alternative audio formats by pressing the INFO button on your remote control while watching a program. If one of these icons appears in the Channel Banner, an alternative audio format is available:

Indicates that one or more alternative languages are available for the program.

Indicates that a Dolby Digital version of the audio for the program is available.

To change the audio format for a program you are watching:

1.While viewing a program, press the AUDIO button on your remote control (a list of available audio formats for the program you are watching appears).

2.Highlight the audio format you want to use, then press SELECT (the list of audio formats disappears and the program audio is now played in the format you selected).

Changing the User setting

Your HD Receiver allows you to establish groups of preferences for your family, and for up to four individuals. For each of these users, you can specify the user name, a unique channel list, and the color and translucency of the on-screen guides and menus. (Detailed instructions for modifying these user-settings are in Chapter 5.)

To set your HD Receiver to operate using the settings specified for one of the users:

1.While viewing a program, press WHO•INPUT on your remote control. The Who list appears.

2.Highlight the name of the user whose settings you wish to activate, then press SELECT. The Who list disappears, and the selected user’s settings take effect.

To clear the Who list without changing the current user, press WHO•INPUT or EXIT on your remote.
