Chapter 3: Watching TV

Choosing an alternate audio format for a program

Many programs on your DIRECTV Receiver offer several audio formats. For example, some programs are available in alternative languages. Some are available in the Dolby Digital format (a high-quality digital audio format available on model SIR-S310W only).

You can tell if a program offers alternative audio formats by pressing the INFO button on your remote control while watching a program. If one of these icons appears in the Channel Banner, an alternative audio format is available:

This icon indicates that one or more alternative languages are available for the program.

This icon indicates that an Dolby Digital version of the audio for the program is available (playable on model SIR-S310W only).

To change the audio format for a program you are watching, follow these steps:

1While viewing a program, press the AUDIO button on your remote control.

A list of available audio formats for the program you are watching appears.

2Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the audio format you

wish to hear for the program, then press

the button on your remote control.

The list of audio formats disappears and the program audio is now played in the format you selected.

Changing the User setting

Your DIRECTV Receiver allows you to establish groups of preferences for your family, and for up to four individuals. For each of these users, you can specify the user name, a unique channel list, and the color and translucency of the on-screen Guides and Menus. (Detailed instructions for modifying these user-settings are in Chapter 6.)

To set your DIRECTV Receiver to operate using the settings specified for one of the users, follow these steps:

1While viewing a program, press the WHO button on your remote control. The Who list appears.
