connection will not normally interfere with your telephone operation. The digital satellite receiver will,
however, call a toll-free number briefly to report any pay per view programs that may have been

The Remote Control
The HRMC-5 remote control can control your DIRECTV System and most TV brands, as well as
VCRs and many other auxiliary devices such as cable boxes, amplifiers, and laser disc players.
The remote control uses an invisible infrared light to send signals to your components when you press
the keys. You must aim the remote control toward the component for it to receive the command.
The mode keys across the top of the remote control enable you to specify the device you intend to
control. This is important since many devices share the same keys, such as the
key and the numeric keys. You must press the appropriate device key before
pressing a command key to make sure the remote control sends the right signal to
the right device. The only keys that deviate from the rule are the blue keys, as they

key functions for easy reference:
