Using the RC71 remote control
Most remote controls work by sending an infra-red (IR)
signal to your DIRECTV
directly at your DIRECTV
The RC71 remote control has been factory-set to work
in this way, but you can program it to control your HR44
DIRECTV
Receiver or C41 DIRECTV
®
radio-frequency (RF) signal instead. This means that you
do not have to point the remote control directly at your
DIRECTV
Receiver for it to work.
®
During the programming process, the RC71 remote control
becomes paired with a specific DIRECTV
You can, however, later pair it with a different DIRECTV
Receiver instead, if you wish.
You can also reset your remote control to revert to working
by means of IR. You need to do this first, if you wish to pair
your remote control with a different DIRECTV
You program for RF and reset using on-screen menus,
which give you instructions. The green light on the RC71
remote control flashes at key stages during programming
and reset.
