Improving Receiver Control
These instructions help you improve your remote control settings to best operate your satellite
receiver.
Changing the Address for Remote Control 2
Because UHF signals travel long distances and go through walls, a neighbor’s remote may control
your receiver by mistake. To keep this from happening, you can change the remote address. You
can also use these instructions to change the address on Remote Control 1.
1. Press SYSTEM INFO on the receiver's front panel. The System Information screen displays
on the nearby TV and shows the Remote Address.
Write down the Secondary Remote Address:
If changing the address for Remote Control 1, write down
the Primary Remote Address:
2. Press and hold SAT on your remote control for about three seconds, until all of the mode
buttons light up, and then release SAT.
3. Use the NUMBER PAD to enter any number between 1 and 16, but not the one you wrote in
step 1.
4. Press POUND (#). If you entered the address correctly, SAT will flash three times.
Write down the number you entered:
5. Press RECORD. Make sure the Remote Address you see on the System Information screen is
the same as the one you entered in step 3. If it isn't, the remote cannot control the receiver.
6. Press SELECT to close the System Information screen.
Checking the Remote Control Address
1. Press and hold the SAT mode button until all of the mode buttons light up, then release it.
2. Press POUND (#) twice. The SAT mode button will flash the same number of times as the
address number (for example, three flashes means address 3).
