Remote Controls
Types of Remote Controls
Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR) light signals to:
•Control TV 1 menus for the nearby TV in Dual Mode.
•Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
IR signals travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly at the device, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals to control other devices that the remote is programmed to control. You must point the remote control directly at these devices, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
This remote control is identified by the green number 1 at the bottom of the remote control.
Remote Control 2 uses UHF Pro signals to:
•Control TV 2 menus for the remote TVs in Dual Mode.
•Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode (with Shared View enabled as described on page 51).
UHF Pro signals travel long distances and go through walls and other solid objects.
To use Remote Control 2 to control the receiver, you must attach the UHF antenna to the receiver back panel (see page 28).
Remote Control 2 uses IR signals to control other devices that the remote is programmed to control. You must point the remote control directly at these devices, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
This remote control is identified by the blue number 2 at the bottom of the remote control.
