Problems with the remote control
4
Check that nothing is between the remote control and the remote sensor.
4
Make sure the remote control is in DIRECTV mode. Slide the MODE switch to the DIRECTV position so the remote will control the
DIRECTV Plus Receiver.
4
Check the batteries in the remote control. They may be weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries.

If you’re entering a channel number that is less than four digits long, the receiver might wait two seconds before tuning to the channel.
Press ENTER after entering a channel number to tune immediately.

If you are trying to operate a device other than the DIRECTV Plus Receiver that you have programmed the remote to control, make
sure you fi rst slide the input switch to the corresponding device (DVD player, VCR, etc.). The indicator light for the component you’re
trying to control should light up when you press a valid key for that component. If it doesn’t, make sure the input switch is clicked into
the correct position.
A remote control indicator light starts fl ashing.
The batteries in the remote control are running low and should be replaced soon. (Note that when you replace the batteries, you may have to
reprogram your remote to control other devices.)
Fine-Tuning the Signal
If you self-installed your satellite dish antenna, you may have already used Guided Setup to fi nd the dish-pointing coordinates, acquire and
fi ne-tune the signal and run a system test. If you need to run Guided Setup again, select Settings from the Quick Menu, then select Guided
Setup. Next, press SELECT on Satellite, then select Repeat Satellite Setup.
Important
If your TV is connected with just coaxial cables, you must tune to Channel 3 or 4, as set with the 3/4 switch on the back of your
DIRECTV Plus Receiver.
