HUGHES-BRAND DIRECTV SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL

intended for one receiver or the other. To avoid this “cross talk,” simply highlight the Receiver ID

button and press on the remote control that is to control that specific digital satellite receiver. Remember to set your remote control to the desired code first. For information regarding changing the remote control’s code, see the chapter, “Programming Your Remote Control.”

Data Port

This option does not apply to the model HIRD-B1 digital satellite receiver.

Phone Prefix

In some installation environments you may need to dial what is know as a prefix to access an outside line. Commonly this is either an 8 or a 9, if even used at all. You may specify up to 3 digits that are required for this purpose.

Screen Ratio

Screen Ratio should be set to 4:3 for most televisions, which is the default. This indicates that you are using a standard format television screen. However, if you have a wide-screen television, you may want to change this setting to the 16:9 option. While setting this option to the wrong format will not harm your TV in any way, it may cause undesirable appearances for programs broadcast in what is known as 16:9 ratio format.

Factory Defaults

If you should ever want to reset the preference settings back to the way it is shipped from the factory, you may select the Factory Defaults button.

Limits

The LIMITS screen is provides settings to help you control the viewing restrictions of satellite programming. These limits, when accompanied by the CHANNEL

LISTS, put a great degree of control in your hands.
