If you program the remote to control equipment in AUX mode, refer to
the following for remote control operation instructions:
• TVs, page C-7.
• VCRs and DVD players, page C-8.
• DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-9.
• Stereo equipment use only these buttons: SELECT (change
inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.
HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES
Depending on how the remote is set up, the remote control may use
UHF radio signals, IR light signals, or both to control the receiver.
However, only IR signals are used to control other equipment.
• IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot
go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the
remote control right at the equipment you want to control, with
no objects to block the signal path.
• UHF signals travel long distances and can go through walls and
other solid objects. Because these signals travel so far, the
receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote
controls. To handle this problem, you may want to change the
remote and receiver addresses (see page 8).
• If you’re set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote
antenna is attached to the receiver’s back panel UHF Remote
Antenna input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.
PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT
Page C-4 shows you how to quickly program the remote to control a
TV. This section uses a different method to program the remote to
control a TV or other equipment (such as a VCR, DVD player, tuner,
amplifier, or a second TV). You can program the remote by either
following the instructions in Programming Using Equipment Code
Tables on page 3, or the Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure
described on page 4.
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/VCR)
When programming the remote to control combination equipment,
such as a TV/VCR or a TV/DVD, program the remote control in one
mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode. For example, to
program the remote to control a TV/VCR using code 748, follow the
instructions to program the remote to control the TV using code 748,
and then repeat the instructions for the VCR using the same code. Put
the remote in TV mode to use the TV, and VCR mode to use the VCR.
