* Model IRC550 transmits to each of the above
electronic devices
signal. Model URC550 transmits both infrared (IR)
and radio-frequency (RF) signals to your DSR
receiver, but IR-only signals to all your other
devices. The RF capability of the URC550 permits it
to remotely operate a DSR receiver that's enclosed in
a home-entertainment unit or located where an
unobstructed line-of-site between the remote and
DSR is not possible. Model URC550 is supplied is
with the premium-featured HD / DVR DSR500 series
receivers.
The remote is ready to use with your Star Choice
satellite receiver, but before you can use your remote
control to operate the other devices listed above, it
must first be programmed (set-up).
2. Before Getting Started
Some of the special features and buttons on your
remote control are as follows:
®

devices without codes. For more information, see
Sections 5 and 14.
®
Memory Guard

Time Out
If the same button is pressed and held for 30-
nd nd nd
TV, 2 DVD, 2 Audio device
using an infrared (IR)
seconds, your remote control will turn itself off
automatically. This extends the battery life should
the remote become lodged under or between heavy
objects, for example sofa cushions.
3. Installing. Replacing Batteries
Install two (2) new "AA" batteries as indicated by the
diagram in the battery compartment.
When the batteries become low and need to be
replaced, the [SAT] button will blink several
times and the remote control will not transmit the
function for the button that was pressed.
When this happens, simply replace the existing
batteries with two (2) new "AA" batteries to
restore normal operation to the remote control.
4. If You Have More Than One Satellite Receiver
Your remote control is set at the factory to control all
of the functions on your Motorola satellite receiver.
However, if you have more than one satellite receiver,
you may want to prevent the remote control in one
room from affecting the satellite receiver in another
room. To prevent this kind of interference, you must
"pair" each remote control with each receiver by
assigning a new "address" to each combination. This
"address" assignment is made using your remote
control as follows:
1. Press the [SAT] button to select the remote
control's SAT mode.
2. Press the [Options] button to display the Options
screen on your TV.
3. On the Options screen, use the [▲], [▼], [◄], [►]
buttons to highlight the Change System Settings /
System Setup option, then press [Enter].
4. On the Systems Setting / Setup screen, use the
[▲], [▼], [◄], [►] buttons to highlight the Change
Installation Settings / System Settings (applies to
DSR 5xx, 207, 317 receivers) option, then press
[ENTER].
