Getting Connected

Choose Your Setup

To switch between watching your

VCR and watching video from your

receiver, you may need to program

the INPUT key on your DIRECTV

remote. (See page 26 for info.)

Some TVs also have a MENU button

that allows you to change the video

source using an onscreen menu. If

you have trouble changing the video

source, refer to the instructions that

came with your TV.
