If you program the remote control to operate other equipment, refer to
page C-6 and the following for remote-control operation instructions:
• POWER, INPUT, MUTE, and VOLUME remote buttons are
used to control your TV when it is programmed in TV mode.
• The same buttons your DVR uses when in SAT mode are used to
control a DVD/BD player (or VCR) when this equipment is
programmed in DVD mode (or alternatively, in AUX mode).
• SELECT, MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER remote buttons may
be used to control your stereo equipment (for example, when an
audio receiver or amplifier is programmed in AUX mode).
HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES
All remote controls used with ViP922 receivers use radio frequency
(RF) signals to control the receiver and IR signals to control any other
equipment you have programmed.
• Make sure that the RF remote antenna for the ViP922 is attached
correctly to the receiver’s back panel R
EMOTE ANTENNA input so
it can receive the RF remote signals.
• RF signals travel relatively long distances and can go through
walls and other solid objects. For example, the TV2 remote can
control the receiver from any area of the house. Link only the
remote(s) you are using with your ViP922 receiver (see page 10).
• IR signals, used in TV, DVD, and AUX device modes, travel up
to 40 feet in a straight line of sight, and cannot go through walls
or other solid objects. Point the remote directly at the equipment
you want to control with no objects blocking the signal path.
SETTING UP FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT
The following section contains detailed instructions on how to set up
this remote control to operate a TV and other audio/video equipment
you may have (such as a DVD/BD player or VCR, audio receiver or
amplifier). You can program the remote control by completing the
tasks described in Setting Up the Remote to Work With Your Equipment
on page 3.
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)
When setting up the remote control to operate combination equipment,
such as a TV with built-in DVD or VCR, program the remote control in
one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other device mode. For
example, to program the remote control to operate a TV/DVD player
