satellite receiver and as many as three other devices. These devices can be your
TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device (an audio system or a second TV).
Remote Control (IR silver or IR
uses infrared, line-of-sight
green)
signals to control the receiver.
IR light signals travel relatively short
distances (40 feet or less), and cannot
go through walls or other solid
objects. You must point the remote
control directly at the device, with no
objects blocking the line of sight.
This remote also uses IR signals to
control other devices that the remote
is programmed to control. You must
point the remote control directly at
these devices, with no objects
blocking the lines of sight to them.
This remote control may be identified
by a blank silver key or the green
number 1 at the bottom of the remote.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORY: Remote
uses UHF Pro
Control (IR/UHF-Pro)
radio-frequency signals to control the
receiver from a remote location or
through walls or other obstructions.
UHF Pro signals travel longer
distances and can pass through walls,
the floor, and other solid objects. To
use the UHF Pro remote, for example
to control the receiver from another
room, you must first attach the UHF
remote-control antenna to the receiver
back-panel connector (see page 23).
The UHF Pro remote uses IR signals
to control other devices that the
remote is programmed to control. You
must point the remote control directly
at these devices, with no objects
blocking the lines of sight to them.
This remote control may be identified
by the UHF Pro logo on the key at the
bottom of the remote.
