Chapter 10 Improving Receiver Control Adjusting the Remote Antenna Be sure to set the remote control antenna on the back of the receiver straight up to improve its operation. The remote control antenna should be angled away so the tip is separated from the electronics by a couple of inches, if possible. - Page 5 Installing a UHF Attenuator Unwanted UHF signals may interfere with signals from the remote control to the receiver. To prevent such interference, you can install an F-connector attenuator between 6dB and 15dB. Attenuators are available from many consumer electronics parts stores. Adding this attenuator will help reduce interference from other devices, but it also cuts down how far away you can use the remote control.
