What You Can Do
• Remember, the remote control uses
IR signals to control all devices
except for the receiver (when using
the UHF antenna). IR signals travel
only 40 feet or less, and can't go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
right at the device, with no objects to
block the signal path.
• If the batteries are missing or dead,
put fresh AAA-size batteries in. If
the remote has fresh batteries,
check whether you put them in the
right way. If you didn't, take them
out and put them in the right way.
• Press the correct mode button to set
the remote to the mode for the
device you want
to control.
• Make sure you set up the remote
to control all the devices you want
to use. See Remote Control Setup
on page 4.
• Change your remote and receiver
address (see Setting Up to Control
the Receiver on page 4).
• See Setting Up to Control Other
Devices on page 8.
• Set up the remote to control either
TV volume or tuner/amplifier
volume, whichever you want.
