Picture Size

The Picture size display screen allows you to choose between a
standard TV screen and a Cinema option. A standard TV screen
has an aspect ratio of 4:3; the Cinema option has an aspect ratio
of 16:9.

You should only use the Cinema option if you have a
CinemaScreen

®

TV; using the Cinema option on a standard TV

screen could crop the picture.

System Test

The System Test display screen is accessed through the Options
menu, and allows you to initiate diagnostic procedures on the
DSS

®

system. You should use this feature to get your Access Card

number, or when your receiver doesn’t seem to be working
correctly. There are four separate tests: signal, tuning, phone
connection, and access card.

A message screen appears, telling you whether the system passed
each test. If your system fails a test, run the system test several
times before concluding that there is a problem. Occasional
fluctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can give
temporary false readings.

New Access Card Setup

Periodically, your program provider may issue you a replacement
access card. The New Access Card Setup display screen allows you
to transfer the information from the old card onto the new one.

Follow the display screen prompts to initialize your new card.
Once you have transferred the information to the new card, your
old card becomes invalid.

Because your specific account information and custom settings
are stored in the access card, power failures should have no
effect on your DSS

®

system.
