Switching the Remote Control to Operate Additional
Digital Satellite Receiver
Your remote control can be reprogrammed to operate additional digital satellite receivers. This may be
necessary in situations where multiple digital satellite receivers are located in the same general area
and can pick up signals intended for each other.
To switch the remote control, simply press and hold the
The receiver ID can be 001 through 008. Do not forget the two zeros. Remember to access the
ADVANCED PREFERENCES screen using the keys on the front of the digital satellite receiver to
pair it with the remote control.
Identifying Codes that Have Been Stored
You can determine the codes that are stored in your remote control. This may be useful for
reprogramming additional remote controls later on.
1.
Press the device key and the "Mute" key simultaneously.
2. Press the
key and count the number of times the red light on the top of the remote control
blinks. Each digit of the three-digit code is separated by a 3-second period the light is off. For example,
if the code number is 021, the light will blink 10 times (for "0"), pause three seconds, blink twice,
pause three seconds, and blink once.
Controlling Other Components Using the AUX Button
Some additional features are available when the remote control is in the AUX mode.
Volume Control in AUX Mode
Note that when the remote control is in TV, VCR, or SAT mode, the volume keys control the sound
volume for the television. When you're in AUX mode, if your auxiliary component has audio output,
the volume keys control that component's sound volume. If your auxiliary component doesn't have
audio output, you can program the volume button so that it continues to control the TV volume when
your remote control is in AUX mode:
1.
Press the "AUX" key and the "Mute" key simultaneously.
2.
Press the "Volume Up" key.
Once you perform these steps, whenever your remote control is in AUX mode the volume keys will
control the television volume. In the event that you reprogram the "AUX" key to control a different
component at some future time, you can restore the remote control's capability to control the auxiliary
component's volume by simply repeating these two steps.
VCR Function in AUX Mode
The VCR function keys (Play, Rew, FF, Stop, Pause, and Rec) on the remote control perform those
VCR functions when the remote control is in TV and DIRECTV System, as well as VCR, mode.
However, if you program the AUX key to control a component that does not need or use these
functions, you can program the remote control to maintain VCR functionality in AUX mode.
1.
Press the "AUX" key and the "Mute" key simultaneously.
2.
Press the "Volume Down" key.
Once you perform these steps, whenever your remote control is in AUX mode the VCR function keys
will continue to control the VCR. In the event that you reprogram the AUX key to control a different
component that need use of the keys, simply repeat these two steps.
