• Remember, the remote control uses IR
signals to control all devices except for
the receiver. IR signals travel only
40 feet or less, and can't go through
walls or other solid objects. You must
point the remote control right at the
device, with no objects to block
the signal path.
• If the batteries are missing or dead, put
fresh AAA-size batteries in. If the
remote has fresh batteries, check
whether you put them in the right way.
If you didn't, take them out and put
them in the right way.
• Make sure you set the remote to the
mode for the device you want
to control.
• Make sure you set up the remote
to control all the devices you want
to use.
• Put a UHF attenuator on the receiver's
UHF Remote Antenna input. This
will help keep stray signals from
blocking your remote's signals, but
also cut down how far away you can
use the remote.
Set up the remote to control either
TV volume or tuner/amplifier volume,
whichever you want.
