TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Light at the top of the remote blinks when you
press a key, but the component does not respond.
SOLUTION 1: Try replacing the batteries (see page 7).
SOLUTION 2: Make sure you are aiming the DIRECTV
®
Universal Remote Control at your home entertainment
component and that you are within 15 feet of the
component you are trying to control.
PROBLEM: The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control does
not control component or commands are not recognized
properly.
SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being
set up. Make sure all components can be operated with an
infrared remote control.
PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly.
SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some combo
units may require both a TV code and a VCR code for full
operation (see page 8).
PROBLEM: CHAN
S, CHANT, and PREV do not work for
your RCA TV.
SOLUTION: Due to RCA design for certain models (1983-
1987), only the original remote control will operate these
functions.
PROBLEM: Changing channels does not work properly.
SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressing
ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on the DIRECTV
Universal remote control after entering a channel number.
PROBLEM: Remote control does not turn on Sony or Sharp
TV/VCR Combo.
SOLUTION: For power on, these products require setting up
TV codes on the remote control. For Sony, use TV code
10000 and VCR code 20032. For Sharp, use TV code 10093
and VCR code 20048. (See “Controlling Other
Components” on page 9.)
