DirecTV HIRD-D01 Limits, Screen Ratio, Channel Lock, Input Key, Demo Mode, Factory Defaults

DIRECTV SYSTEM FROM HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS - OWNER’S MANUAL

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, it may cause a distorted picture.

Channel Lock

The Channel Lock setting provides a way for you to set your digital satellite receiver to permanently stay on a specified channel. When the setting is anything other than “- - - -” the digital satellite receiver will always power up on that channel and will ignore any attempts to change the channel. To allow channel changing to function again, set this option back to “- - - -.”

Input Key

The Input Key option allows you to enable or disable the functionality of the key on your remote control. This is useful if you are not using the local TV pass through capability of your digital

satellite receiver and want to avoid getting a snowy picture from inadvertent presses of the key. Please note that the pass through capability happens automatically when the digital satellite receiver is powered off.

Demo Mode

The Demo Mode is a feature that is primarily intended for in-store presentations. When enabled, the digital satellite receiver will step through a variety of features and display messages decribing these features. While pressing any key will allow you to regain operation of your digital satellite receiver, this is only temporary. After several minutes of non-interaction, the demonstration will begin again. To stop the demonstration mode permanently, disable the Demo Mode via this button.

Factory Defaults

If you ever want to reset the digital satellite receiver preferences, select the Factory Defaults button.

Limits

The LIMITS screen 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.
