Remote Control
Types of Remote Controls
Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR)
signals to:
• Control TV1 menus for the nearby
TV in Dual Mode.
• Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
IR signals travel only short distances
(60 feet or less), and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
directly at the receiver, with no objects
blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals
to control both the receiver and any
other devices that it has been
programmed to operate.
This remote control is identified by the
green number 1 at the bottom of the
front of the remote control.
