Remote Control(s)
Adjusting the Remote-Control Antenna
Be sure to point 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.
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 a 10 dB attenuator (available from many
electronics parts stores). Adding this attenuator will help keep out stray UHF signals, but it
will also cut down how far away your remote control can operate the receiver.

If your remote control isn't working well from far away or another room, 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 cabinet
or entertainment center.
– Provide space above the receiver so that the remote-control antenna can
be installed pointing straight up. If you cannot install the antenna straight
up, then tilt the antenna at no more than a 30° angle from vertical.
– Place the remote-control antenna outside the entertainment center by
using an optional coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.
– Try moving the receiver itself to other suitable locations.
– Move any nearby over-the-air antennas away from the remote-control
antenna. Do not sit an over-the-air antenna on top of your receiver.
– Install a UHF attenuator. See Installing a UHF Attenuator on page 14 for
more details.
Remove the remote-control antenna from the
R A input on the receiver's back
