Preferences: A/V Matrix
If you connected the A/V matrix as described in the

to Video IN1 and Video IN2 and satellite programming.
Note: If a video source is not connected or turned on and the
A/V Matrix is enabled, pressing the SOURCE button will still
point to that video input. Your TV will go blank. Hit the
SOURCE button to cycle to the next video input or to satellite
programming.
Preferences: Remote Control ID
If you purchase two DSX 5500 or DSX 5540 receivers and use

remote until the SAT light stays on.
6. To set the ID number to 1, enter “111” or to set the ID to 0,
enter “000”. The SAT button will blink twice to confirm the
entry.
7. Point the remote at the Receiver and press OK to complete
the process.
Note: It is important at the end of the procedure to point the
remote at the corresponding DIRECTV Receiver and press OK.
