The mode keys across the top of the remote control enable you to specify the device you intend to
control. This is important since many devices share the same keys, such as the
key and the numeric keys.
You must press the appropriate device key before
pressing a command key to make sure the remote control sends the right signal to
the right device.
The only keys that deviate from the rule are the blue keys, as they
are always associated with the digital satellite receiver.
The arch of keys immediately below the power and mode keys control frequently used
functions. These include special action (
), information ( ), guide ( ),
exit ( ), and favorite ( ) keys.
The key is unique because it does nothing by itself. Pressing it displays the
action icon in the upper left corner of your screen for a few seconds. During that time,
other keys may be pressed to access special functions indicated in yellow above the
keys. Each will be described later in this manual. The following chart describes the
key functions for easy reference:

Four directional keys will cause the on-screen highlight to move in the direction you
want. The key positions will be referred to as , , , and .
The select key ( ) is one of the most important keys. Pressing the key will
tell the digital satellite receiver that you wish to choose the highlighted item.
The remaining keys are either digital satellite receiver-specific keys and common device keys
including numbers, channel up and down, etc. The functions of these keys change depending on the
device currently selected.
Please refer to “Controlling the Digital Satellite Receiver” for more remote control capabilities and
“Programming Your Remote Control” for teaching your remote control about your other audio/video
components.
Descriptions and details of each individual key will be given in the appropriate sections throughout this
manual.
