Chapter 3: Connecting Your System
Setting Up the RF Antenna
The RF antenna lets you take advantage of the RF (radio frequency)
feature, which enables the remote control to operate the DSS receiver
even if the receiver is located in another room or is placed behind a
cabinet door. In other words, with the RF feature, the remote control
does not require a direct line-of-sight to the front panel of the DSS
receiver.
Note
You must set up the RF antenna only if you plan on taking advantage of the
RF feature.
To set up the RF antenna:
1
Connect the RF antenna to the DSS receiver’s RF REMOTE jack.
2
Place the RF antenna at least one foot away from the DSS receiver.
Note
Do not place the RF antenna directly
on top of the DSS receiver or any
other metal object.
3
Use the on-screen displays to set up the DSS receiver to accept RF
transmission (RF ONLY). See “Setting Up the Remote Control” on
page 69 for details.
The DSS receiver is shipped with IR transmission enabled and RF
transmission disabled. To use the RF feature, you must first change
the factory setting (IR ONLY) to the RF setting (RF ONLY) using the
on-screen displays, as described on page 69.
Note
The operating range of the DSS
remote control is about 100 ft. This
may decrease due to ambient radio
wave conditions, your room’s walls,
etc.
Optional Setup
The RF antenna can be mounted to a wall using the enclosed
screws or by using two pieces of double-sided tape (supplied).
