5. Remote Control
C71KW needs the VRC81 remote (The C71KW will not function with the
RC6x or RC7x remotes, and the VRC81 will not function with any older
DIRECTV receivers and clients). Like the other DIRECTV remotes, the
VRC81 can be programmed to operate some features on TV’s or
Audio/Video equipment. The key features of the VRC81 Remote are:
The VRC81 Remote works in IR, RF and Bluetooth interface.
The remote uses Bluetooth for 2-way communication to the
C71KW.
Like RF mode, Bluetooth eliminates the need for the remote and
the paired devices to be in line of sight to each other.
The VRC81 Remote has a Touch Pad. Basic operations and functions can
be made by sliding and pressing the touchpad.
If the Remote is not paired to a C71KW, touch pad can be used
for functions like Up, Down, Left, Right and Select
Once the Remote is paired to a C71KW, it can send absolute
touch data to the C71KW.
Voice Recognition is available in the VRC81 Remote. Voice search will
only work when the remote is paired to the C71KW.
