The remote control and receiver can operate on any one of 16 addresses;
however, they must both be on the same address for the remote to control the
receiver. This section explains how to change the address in both devices.
Note : Do not change the address of the remote unless absolutely necessary
because the remote cannot control the receiver if the two devices have different
addresses.
1. Turn the receiver OFF and press either CHANNEL UP or DOWN on the
front panel to display the
Important System Information
screen. Note the
current Remote Address shown on your TV screen.
2. Press and hold the
SAT
mode button until all the mode button
backlights come on (it takes about three seconds). Release the
SAT mode button.
3. Use the number buttons to enter a new number from 1 to 16.
Write the new address in the space provided.
4. Press the POUND button. If the address you entered is valid for
the remote control, the
SAT
mode button backlight flashes three
times.
5. Point the remote at the receiver and press the
RECORD
button.
The Remote Address on the Important System Information
screen should match the one you entered.
Note : If the Remote Address does not change on the Important
System Information
screen, press the
RECORD
button again.
6. To check the address programmed in the remote, press and hold the
SAT
mode button for three seconds. Then press the POUND button twice. The
SAT
mode button backlight flashes the same number of times as the
address.
7. Press the
SELECT
button to exit the Important System
Information
screen.
