Using the Remote Control to Operate Other Components
You may have already programmed the remote control to operate your other components in the Guided Setup. If you
haven't programmed the remote, or if you need to change your remote control settings, use the following directions along
with the on-screen help text.
Remote Control Setup
The Remote Control Setup menu lets you program your remote for a variety of
uses:
• to control your TV in TV mode
• to control a VCR, DVD player or other component in AV1 or AV2 mode
• to control a second DIRECTV
®
Receiver in AV1 or AV2 mode
Important:
This remote may not be compatible with all
models of all brands of components. It also
may not operate all functions of the remote
that came with your component.
Programming the Remote to Operate Components in AV1 and
AV2 Modes
Important: Make sure you start with the remote control's mode switch in
the DIRECTV position. Keep the mode switch in that position until the on-
screen directions tell you to move it.
The remote that came with your DIRECTV Receiver can operate other
components in AV1 and AV2 modes. First, you have to program the remote for
each mode separately.
To program the remote to operate another component in AV1 or AV2 mode:
1. Press the MENU button on the remote control (the Quick Menu appears).
2. Select Settings from the Quick Menu.
3. Select Setup from the Settings menu.
4. Select Remote from the System Setup screen.
5. Select AV1 or AV2 from the Remote Control Setup screen.
Make sure you know the brand of the component you want to operate. Follow
the on-screen directions to set up your remote to operate the component.
If you want to use the other AV mode to operate a different component, repeat
these instructions for the other AV mode.
