- Check volume levels.

High-Definition Receiver is connected properly.
- Make sure the proper format is selected. (see section 2-3)
- Make sure the proper aspect ratio is selected. (see section 2-4)
- Make sure the video output is connected to the TV. (see section 3-5)
- If you are a DIRECTV customer, you can add a channel by running the “Manual
Ch. Add” from the SETUP menu or find all available channels by running the
“EZ Channel Scan” in the SETUP menu. (see section 8-7)
- Otherwise, if the DIRECTV HD Receiver is in the ANT/CABLE mode, the
only way that you can find all the available channels is by running the “EZ
Channel Scan” in the SETUP menu. (see section 8-7)
- Aspect ratio depends on both the incoming program format and the
Display Format button on the front panel. Once the button for the format is
set to a standard definition (480i/480p) and the incoming program is set at
a 4:3 video, the aspect ratio can not be adjusted and a warning message
will appear on the screen. (see section 8-12)
- Similar to the above case, once the button for a format is set to high
definition (720p/1080i) and an incoming program is set at a 16:9 video, the
aspect ratio can not be adjusted and a warning message will appear on the
screen.
- Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly. (see section 8-9)
- Point the remote control unit at the remote control sensor.
- Check if the correct operating mode on the remote control is selected.
- Make sure the clock is set properly.
- If you subscribe to satellite service, contact your service provider to
arrange for the password to be re-set
- If you do not subscribe to satellite service and the DIRECTV HD Receiver
is in the ANT/CABLE mode, enter the master password “7777”.
