HUGHES-BRAND DIRECTV SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL
Upon verifying that the VCR Control is functioning properly you can remove the tape and permanently
attach the emitter using the peel-and-stick backing. This attachment should not interfere with normal
VCR operation.
Remote Control Extender
Some DIRECTV Systems may include a Remote Control Extender. Even if it is not included with your
system, they are also sold separately. You would need to purchase the HRCE-10 that you can add to
your remote control that came with your system. There are also packages, such as the HRCE-13 which
includes an additional remote control.
With the Remote Control Extender, you can have complete control of your digital satellite receiver and
other entertainment system components from anywhere inside of the house. It converts IR (Infra-Red)
signals emitted by the remote control into a powerful radio signal which is then broadcast up to a
distance of 150 feet to the receiver base station. No tools are needed to install the Remote Extender.
The HNS Remote Control Extender consists of two components; the transmitter "nose cone" (which
attaches to the front of the remote control), and the receiver "base station" (which is placed in the room
where the HNS-brand digital satellite receiver is located).
Receiver Base Station Installation
Place the receiver base station in the room where your HNS-brand digital satellite receiver is located.
Choose a location that is near an electrical outlet on an
opposing wall to where your digital satellite receiver is
installed. Point the front of the base station towards the
receiver. Try to use your remote control from your
chosen location to confirm that it is within the operating
"view" of your digital satellite receiver.
Plug the AC power adapter (included with your Remote
Control Extender) in the wall outlet. Attach the small
plug from the transformer into the jack on the receiver
Base station placement
base station. The power light should illuminate. Extend
the antenna fully. The Remote Control Extender base
station is ready for use.
Transmitter Nose Cone Installation
The Remote Control Extender nose cone has been designed to attach to the front of your HNS-brand
remote control. Firmly press the nose cone onto the front
of the remote control until it will be held in place by the
bumps on the bottom.
Before the nose cone transmitter can function you will
need to install the supplied battery. To do this, begin by
simply opening the small door on the bottom of the nose
cone. Install the battery noting the proper polarity (+/-).
Then replace the door.
You are now ready to use your Remote Control Extender
equipped HNS remote control. You should find that using
your remote control from another room will work just as

though you were right in front of your digital satellite
receiver and other entertainment equipment. Note that you
do not need to point it towards the room for it to work. The signals are broadcast from the nose cone in
all directions — even through floors, walls, ceilings and furniture!
