Improving Receiver Control
Adjusting the Remote Control Antenna
Be sure to set the remote control antenna (back of the receiver) straight up so you can use
the remote control from as far away as possible. Don't let the antenna touch anything.
Changing the UHF Frequency Using the A/B Switch
Your TV2 remote control has a switch to change from sending both IR and UHF signals to
sending only IR. The switch comes preset to the UHF position, which sends both types of
signals, but if you have a clear line of sight to the satellite receiver you're controlling with
this remote, then you can change the setting to the IR position to lessen the likelihood of
another UHF remote interfering with yours. This is applicable in Dual User mode for TV2.
1
Remove the battery cover from the remote control.
2
Use a small screw driver or a paper clip to carefully change the switch setting
(typically from UHF, the default, to IR)
3
Put the battery cover back onto the back of the remote control.
4
Use the SYSTEM INFO button on the receiver's front panel to access the
System Information screen.
5
Press and release the RECORD button on the remote control.
6
Make sure the System Information screen shows the correct information:
• Switch position UHF—IR/UHF Pro
• Switch position IR—IR only.

If your UHF Pro Remote Control 2 isn't working well from far away, you may
be experiencing interference from objects near your receiver. To improve
your remote control's range, try the following:
– Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your cabinet
or entertainment center.
– Provide space above the receiver so that the remote control antenna can
be installed pointing straight up. If you cannot install the antenna straight
up, tilt the antenna at no more than a 30° angle from vertical.
– Place the remote control antenna outside the entertainment center by
using an optional coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.
– Try moving the receiver itself to other suitable locations.
– Move any nearby over-the-air antennas away from the remote control
antenna. Do not sit an over-the-air antenna on top of your receiver.
– Install a UHF attenuator. See Installing a UHF Attenuator on page 77 for
details.
