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 UHF/IR Using the 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 for TV2 in Dual User mode.
1
Remove the battery cover from the back of the TV2 remote control.
2
Use a small screw driver or a paper clip to carefully change the switch
setting.
3
Put the battery cover back on the remote control.
4
Use the SYSTEM INFO button on the front panel to open the System
Information screen.
5
Press RECORD 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
entertainment center.
– Provide room above the receiver so that the remote control antenna can
be installed straight up. If you cannot install the antenna straight up, tilt
the antenna at about a 30° angle.
– Place the remote control antenna outside the entertainment center by
using a coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.
– Try moving the receiver to other locations.
– Move any nearby over-the-air antennas away from the remote control
antenna. Do not place an over-the-air antenna on top of your receiver.
– Install a UHF attenuator. See Installing a UHF Attenuator on page 75 for
details.
