PROBLEM
I’m having problems changing
channels.
Only one device’s volume control
code is sent regardless of which
mode I have put the remote control in.
I’m using an IR blaster to control my
cable box or satellite receiver and I’m
having trouble changing channels
using the Hard Disk Recorder remote.
My cable box sometimes fails to
change channels when using the
Hard Disk Recorder remote control.
The Hard Disk Recorder does not
respond when I press buttons on the
remote control. Or, the image on my
television screen is “frozen.”
Troubleshooting (continued)
SOLUTION
If your original remote control required an Enter button press when
changing channels, press the ENTER button on the Hard Disk
Recorder remote control after you enter the channel number.
Refer to “Changing Volume Lock” on page 42 and unlock the volume
controls.
• This may be dependent on how many digits you needed to enter to
tune to a specific channel using the remote control for your cable box or
satellite receiver, prior to hooking up the Hard Disk Recorder. For
example, if you needed to enter 0 - 5 to tune to channel 5, you need to
“tell” the Hard Disk Recorder this information during the on-screen
setup. To update this information, go back to Setup to adjust the
code for your cable box or satellite receiver.
1. Press the MENU button on the Hard Disk Recorder remote.
2. Choose Setup from the Main Menu, then choose Change Dialing &
Input Settings.
3. From the Setup Summary screen, choose the input that your cable
box or satellite receiver is connected to.
4. Proceed through the steps to configure your box until you reach the
screen that asks for your cable box or satellite receiver setup code.
5. Press the
button to clear the setup code:
A. If your unit required 2 digits to tune to a one-digit channel, enter
the code for your unit but replace the first digit with the number 6.
B. If your unit required 3 digits to tune to a one-digit channel, enter
the code for your unit but replace the first digit with the number 8.
Refer to “Code Numbers For Your Components” on pages 47 and 48
to find your code.
6. Continue through the remaining screens and complete the setup.
7. Once you have completed setup, try changing the channels on
your cable box or satellite receiver.
8. If you are still having trouble changing channels, repeat step 5
above with the following changes:
• If you used step 5A, replace the number 6 with the number 7.
• If you used step 5B, replace the number 8 with the number 9.
• If you are using the IR blaster, your cable box receives IR commands
from both the Hard Disk Recorder remote and the IR blaster. Some
cable boxes can be confused by this. You can prevent your cable box
from receiving the commands from the Hard Disk Recorder remote
control by affixing an opaque covering around the area where you
have placed the IR emitter on your cable box. Don’t cover the IR
emitter.
• Press and hold the power button on the front of the unit for 10
seconds, then release. The Hard Disk Recorder will start up in a few
moments.
Unplug the power cord for 15 seconds then plug it back in. The Hard
Disk Recorder will restart and power on in a few moments.
