Remote appears to be functioning correctly

Based on the responses that you have given, it appears that your remote is functioning correctly. If
you are still having a problem with your remote, please call the phone number listed in your
manual for further troubleshooting.

Check wiring and input settings

If you don't see the DIRECTV Central screen after you powercycle your DIRECTV Recorder, there
is likely a problem with your cable wiring or input setting on your TV, VCR, or A/V Receiver rather
than a problem with your remote control.
Check your wiring to make sure that all of your cables are securely connected.
Check the input settings on your TV, VCR, and A/V Receiver. This may involve pressing the
"Input" or "TV/VCR" button on the remote control for your TV, VCR, and A/V Receiver.
If you are still not able to see DIRECTV Central once your check all of your settings, please call
the number listed in your manual for additional troubleshooting.
