THE MENU SYSTEM

RF Remote Setup The remote can control the DSS® receiver using both IR (Infrared) signals and RF (radio frequency) signals. IR signals require line of sight to the receiver’s front panel remote sensor. RF signals can control the receiver from other parts of your house–even through walls.

Occasionally, due to interference or other RF devices, you may need to change the remote and receiver RF code. To change the code, follow the on-screen instructions.

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.

Data Port Let’s you choose whether the low speed data port is used for low speed data or communicating with the Home Control Base accessory. See the Home Control section in this book for more information.

ALTERNATE AUDIO

When you select Alternate Audio from the Options menu, the Alternate Audio display screen comes up.

Point to the audio language or audio type you want and press MENU•SELECT. The DSS® system will then automatically set the audio program to the selected audio program type when that type is available.

There are two ways to change the audio:

•Press ALT AUD on the remote to temporarily change the Audio program while tuned to the current channel.

•Point to Alternate Audio from the Options menu and press MENU•SELECT to set the default Alternate Audio.
