Mode Switch
Note : Each time you press a button, a green light at the top of the remote
flashes. If the light flashes several times for just one press, it means the
batteries (size AA) are getting low and need to be replaced.
These two buttons turn your TV and DIRECTV
®
Receiver on or off
together. If your DIRECTV
®
System was installed professionally, your
remote has already been programmed to operate your TV. If you need to
reprogram the remote for a new TV or for any other reason, press MENU,
select “Parental, Fav’s & Setup,” then “System Setup,” then “Remote,”
and follow the step by step instructions.
Use the POWER (PWR) button and Mode Switch to turn a single
component on or off (for example a DVD player or surround sound
system). Simply slide the mode switch to the position that matches the
component you want to control and then use the POWER button to turn
it off or on. The mode switch must always be in the left-most position to
control your DIRECTV
®
Receiver. If the mode switch is in a position that
has not been programmed, or if you press a button that is not supported
by that particular piece of equipment, an on-screen message will pop up
to alert you.
This universal remote control is your touch point to the system, so we’ll start here.
