The  System Test allows you to run a basic diagnostics check on your
DIRECTV System. If you are experiencing any trouble with your system,
run the system test. It will allow you to get your Access Card number, or
to initiate diagnostic procedures on the DIRECTV System.

First make sure that:

•

All connections—jacks, cables, etc.—are correctly in place. See the
section “Setup and Connections” for more information.

•

There are batteries in the remote control and they are working.

•

The access card is installed in the receiver.

Follow these steps to run the system test:

1.

Turn on your TV and the receiver.

2.

Press the DIRECTV button on the remote control to put it in
DIRECTV System mode, then press MENU to bring up the Main
menu.
