Remote Control Problems
Problems with the remote control
Check that nothing is between the remote control and the remote sensor.
Make sure the remote control is in DIRECTV mode. Slide the MODE switch on the remote to the DIRECTV
position so the remote will control the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.
Check the batteries in the remote control. They may be weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries.
If you’re entering a channel number that is less than four digits long, the receiver might wait two seconds before
tuning to the channel. Press ENTER after entering a channel number to tune immediately.
If you are trying to operate a device other than the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR that you have programmed the
remote to control, make sure you first slide the MODE switch to the mode that is programmed for that device
(AV1 or AV2). The indicator light for the component you’re trying to control should light up when you press a
valid key for that component. If it doesn’t, make sure the MODE switch is in the correct position.
A remote control indicator light starts flashing.
The batteries in the remote control are running low and should be replaced soon. You may also see an onscreen message
that the batteries are low. Note that when you replace the batteries, you should not have to reprogram your remote to
control other devices unless the batteries have been completely dead for a month or more.
Fine-Tuning the Signal
If you self-installed your satellite dish antenna, you may have already used the Satellite Setup section of Guided Setup
to find the dish-pointing coordinates, acquire and fine-tune the signal and run a system test. If you need to run Satellite
Setup again, press MENU. Select Settings from the Quick Menu, then select Setup. When the System Setup screen is
displayed, press SELECT on Satellite in the left menu, then select the Repeat Satellite Setup button.

With proper care and fresh batteries, the only
problem you should have with the remote is
remembering where you left it.
