To proceed with this process, follow the instructions on the screen. You should complete all
the answers once this initial setup process starts.
This setup process will be displayed only once. Future setting changes can be made using

This means that you can change all the settings DIRECTV Initial Setup section of the main
menu.
If you have chosen to subscribe to DIRECTV, you should contact DIRECTV at 1-800-

When you order programming, you need to know your access card number. To get this num-
ber, press MENU on the remote control, then select SYSTEM on the Menu. Select System

switch in that position before turning the receiver on. The format switch on the rear of the
receiver must be in the correct position for your display. The on screen display or the picture
may not appear if the wrong mode is selected.
