Samsung DIRECTV SIR-TS160 - Manual (Page 41)

Testing the DIRECTV ® High-Definition Receiver
The System Test feature allows you to quickly check the status of the satellite signal,
your Access Card, and your phone line connection. This is helpful in troubleshooting
should you experience problems with your DIRECTV HD Receiver.
To start the System Test, follow these steps:
1 Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2 Highlight the SETUP menu item, then press the OK button.
3 Highlight the System menu item, then press the OK button.
4 Highlight the System Test menu item, then press the OK button.
If the test discovers a problem with the Access Card, check that the card is
properly inserted. (See Inserting the Access Card in Chapter 2 for details.)
For problems with the phone line connection, be sure that the DIRECTV HD
Receiver is connected to a phone line, and that the phone line is working.
(Try plugging a telephone into the line you are using for the DIRECTV HD
Receiver; check to see if the phone gets a dial tone. If so, the line is working.)
5 When you have finished the system test, you can run the test again using the
on-screen Test Again button, exit the Menu system by pressing the EXIT button
on your remote control, or use the arrow keys to highlight on-screen Back
button, then press the OK button to return to the System menu.
Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting
The System Test screen appears.
The test will begin as soon as the
screen appears. Results are
displayed in a moment.
If the test discovers a problem with
the satellite tuning, check that the
satellite dish is pointed properly,
and that nothing is obstructing the
direct view to the satellite (over
time trees can grow enough to
block a previously open view).
