Connections & Setup

Optional Connection 3: RF Remote Antenna Connection

This connection allows your remote control to communicate with the DIRECTV® HD Receiver even when you do not have line-of-sight to the receiver’s front panel remote sensor.

Just as you would adjust a rabbit-ear antenna to get a better picture, your RF remote may need similar adjustments depending upon your environment. RF remote performance will be optimal when the receiving antenna is moved away from other electrical noise sources such as computers, VCRs, video games, etc., and the cables connecting these products.

Note: The RF antenna can be connected to the satellite receiver using standard 75 ohm TV coaxial cable which will allow greater flexibility in positioning the antenna away from noise sources for best performance.

Making the Connection

Connect the RF remote antenna to the RF ANT jack on the back of your HD Receiver.

Using Your Component

Once you've made the RF remote antenna connection, you need to enable the RF remote in the HD Receiver's menu system.

To enable the RF remote:

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2.Highlight SYSTEM SETUP and press SELECT.

3.Highlight Installation and press SELECT.

4.Highlight RF Remote Setup and press SELECT.

5.Press the down arrow button on your remote control to highlight Enable, then press SELECT.

If you have other RF remote controls, you may want to change the RF code to avoid conflicts. To change the RF code, see the instructions on page 34.

Optional Connection 4: VCR Control

(DIRECTV HD Receiver + VCR control cable + VCR)

The VCR control cable allows your HD Receiver to program your VCR to record a TV program. By selecting a record option from the on-screen program guide, you can direct the VCR control cable to flash signals to the VCR’s remote control sensor, programming the VCR to tape a TV program for you.

Locating the VCR’s Infrared Remote Control Sensor

The VCR Controller must be affixed directly over the infrared remote control sensor on your VCR. Some VCRs have a label that identifies the remote control sensor, but others do not. If the IR sensor is labeled on your VCR, affix the VCR Controller directly over the sensor. For VCRs that do not label the sensor, you can use the VCR’s remote control to locate the VCR’s sensor before affixing the VCR Controller cable.
