INITIAL
SETUP
IMPORTANT:
Check
your
TV
owner's
manual
for
the
prefered
or
required
video
format.
The
appropriate
format
should
be
set
using
the
FORMAT
button
on
the
front
panel
of
the
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver.
If
the
correct
format
is
not
selected,
the
on-screen
display
and
video
may
not
appear
correctly
or
may
not
appear
at
all.
If
an
image
does
not
appear,
check
the
Format
setting
(see
section
2-3).
When
you
turn
on
the
DIRECTV
HD
Receiver
for
the
first
time,
you
will
be
asked
if
you
want
to
set
up
DIRECTV
programming.
If
you
have
chosen
to
subscribe
to
DIRECTV
programming,
you
should
initialize
the
system
according
to
section
8-7.
(See
section
8-7
if
applicable.)
If
you
do
not
have
a
dish,
you
should
select
"NO".
This
means
you
can
receive
only
off-air
and
cable
broadcasts
(analog
&
digital).
Although
this
setup
process
will
be
displayed
only
once,
you
can
change
your
selection
at
any
time
in
the
future
using
the
DIRECTV
Initial
setup
menu.
If
you
have
chosen
to
subscribe
to
DIRECTV
service,
you
should
contact
DIRECTV
at
1-800-
DIRECTV
(or
1-800-347-3288)
and
order
programming.
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
Test
on
the
screen,
and
you
will
see
the
Access
Card
Identifier.
Another
way
to
find
the
num-
ber
is
by
taking
out
the
access
card
and
referring
to
the
number
printed
on
it.
