Receiver3

Now it’s time for you to take control. Take a few minutes to read through this chapter to understand how to operate your system. Let’s begin with a couple of simple rules. First, there is nothing that you can do, using the front panel keys or the remote control keys, which could harm the HD receiver in any way. Once you understand the capabilities and options available in your receiver, you’ll be able to undo any changes or settings that you make.

It is not necessary to know everything your system can do right away. As you use the HD receiver, the techniques necessary to control it will become second nature.

Front Panel vs. Remote Control Keys

The front panel provides all the basic controls needed to access and use the primary features of the HD receiver. The remote control has additional keys to provide shortcuts or access to extended features of the HD receiver. Most of the remote control keys can also be used to control other components in your entertainment system. For this reason, you must remember to press the

SAT key, putting the remote control in HD receiver mode, when you want to control the HD receiver.

Another key you will be using frequently is the GUIDE key, located on both the front panel of the HD receiver and on the remote control. This key is used when you want to display the current on- screen guide. Once you are in the guide, pressing the GUIDE key while a program title is highlighted will display the Guide pop-up menu.

Another key appearing on both the front panel and the remote control is the INFO key. This key is used to retrieve descriptive information about a currently airing event and to provide access to scheduling information (and purchasing information for pay per view) about highlighted programs in the on-screen guide.

The final key that appears on both the remote control and the front panel is the POWER key. Make sure the remote control is in “SAT” mode for the POWER key to control the HD receiver. When you turn the HD receiver off, it has not actually stopped using electricity. Rather, it goes into a standby mode that enables it to continue monitoring data sent from DIRECTV, call in status reports to DIRECTV, start and stop your VCR for programs you have scheduled, receive messages, and perform other background activities.
