Picture Size

Selecting Picture Size allows you to select the type of TV connected to the receiver. You can choose between Normal (4X3) or Cinema (16X9). The default is Normal.

Time Zone

Using this feature allows you to set the local time zone and to enact a Daylight- Saving time option. Accurate time and time zone is necessary for Watch and Remind features. Setting the time zone is normally automatic, and generally does not require you to do anything.

Setting the time zone should only be done in rare circumstances, such as if the program times are wrong after the system card has been activated.

Note: You must select an entry in the Choose your time zone field before all menu items are displayed.

Multi-Switch Setup

This feature allows the satellite system to know if you have a multi-switch connected to the system and to determine what type of multi-switch is used.

This feature should only be used in rare circumstances, such as when instructed to do so by DIRECTV.
