Chapter 7: Settings, preferences, upgrades, and extras

Setting the closed caption options

Closed captions are on-screen text versions of the audio content for programs. The
Caption

item in the Preferences menu allows you to turn closed captions on and off,

to set a language for the closed captions, and to choose a closed caption format
(CC1 or CC2, which may provide varying closed caption displays for some
programs).

1

Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2

Highlight the Setup menu item, then press the OK button.

3

Highlight the Preferences menu item, then press the OK button.

4

Highlight the Caption menu item, then press the OK button.

Setting the default screen color and translucency

The Screen Color menu item in the Preferences menu allows you to set a default
screen color that will be used to display the Menu and Guide screens. There are four
color choices named for the four seasons: Spring (green), Summer (blue), Fall
(amber), Winter (violet). Screen colors can also be set for the FAMILY profile and the
four USER profiles; those choices will override the default screen color selection you
set here when those profiles are active.
The Translucency menu item in the Preferences menu allows you to set a default
translucency level that will be used to display the Menu and Guide screens
(controlling how much TV program content you can view through the on-screen
Menu and Guide screens). You can choose from four levels of translucency: Light,
Medium, Dark, and Opaque (no translucency). Translucency can also be set for the
FAMILY

profile and the four USER profiles; those choices will override the default

translucency selection you set here when those profiles are active.

The Caption menu appears.

5

Highlight the setting you wish to
change, and press the OK button.
Then use the up or down arrows
buttons on your remote control to
highlight an option for that setting.
Press the OK button to confirm
your selection.

6

To exit the Menu system, press the
EXIT button on your remote control.

Note: If you turn on closed captions on both your DIRECTV

®

High-Definition

Receiver and your TV, you may see overlapping closed caption displays. To
avoid this problem, turn on closed captions on either the TV or the DIRECTV
HD Receiver, not both.
