Setting Up the Remote Control (SAT-A4 Only)
The Set Up Remote screens let you set up the Digital Satellite Receiver
to accept IR (infrared) or RF (radio frequency) signals from the remote
control and to change the RF security code for the Digital Satellite
Receiver.
You can also use this screen to display a list of codes you can use to
program the remote control to operate other components, such as TVs
and cable boxes.
Selecting IR/RF Transmission
(SAT-A4 Only)
In addition to having IR remote control capability, your DirecTV
System includes an RF feature, which enables the remote control to
operate the Digital Satellite Receiver even if the receiver is located in
another room or is placed behind a cabinet door. In other words, with
the RF feature, the remote control does not require a direct line-of-sight
to the front panel of the Digital Satellite Receiver.
Note
You must set up the RF antenna to take advantage of the RF feature. See
“Setting up the RF Antenna (SAT-A4 Only)” on page 19 for details.
The Digital Satellite Receiver is shipped with IR transmission enabled
and RF transmission disabled. To use the RF feature, you must change
the factory setting (IR ONLY) to the RF setting (RF ONLY).
To select IR or RF transmission:
1
Select REMOTE CONTROL from the Setup Menu.
2
Select REMOTE SIGNAL and select a transmission type (IR or RF).
3
Select OK to save your selections and return to the Setup Menu.
