Controlling a Second Satellite Receiver
The remote can control two satellite receivers. From the Main menu,
select
Options
, then
System Options
, then
Remote Setup
. Then follow
the on-screen instructions and enter the appropriate code from the
Satellite Receiver list at the end of this section. By default, the DIRECTV
button is used to control the first satellite receiver and the AUX button
is used to control the second satellite receiver.
If your second receiver is an RCA, GE, or PROSCAN and you want to
control it using the AUX button, use code 5001. Code 5000 is used by the
DIRECTV button.
Changing the RF Remote Control Code
Your remote control is equipped with RF functionality. This means that
the remote can control the digital satellite receiver using both IR
(infrared) signals and RF (radio frequency) signals. IR signals require line-
of-sight to the receiver’s front panel remote sensor. RF signals can
control the receiver from other parts of your house—even
through walls. Installing your RF remote control antenna will increase
the range of your RF remote signal. See the “Setup and Connections”
section for more information.
If you are experiencing interference from other RF devices, you may
need to change the RF remote control code. Change the code by doing
the following:
1.
Select
Options
in the Main menu.
2.
Select
System Options.
3.
Select
RF Remote.
4.
Choose a number between 000 and 255. Follow the on-screen
instructions to enter it as your RF remote control code.
