Remote Control Buttons

These two pages give you a quick review of the buttons on your remote control.

Before the DIRECTV® HD Receiver's remote control can operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, or other component, you must first program the remote control to operate that component. See page 32 for more information.

(0-9) Number Buttons Press the number buttons to tune to a channel or to enter numbers in the menu system.

ANTENNA In VCR mode, this button functions as a TV/VCR button.

Arrows (up, down, left, right) Used to move through the HD Receiver’s menu system, program guides, and on-screen displays.

The right arrow button is also used as a delimiter (to enter separate parts of channel numbers, like a dash).

AUDIO (A) While watching DIRECTV® programming, press this button to select an alternate audio track. In the Guides, this button lets you change the guide style.

CALLER ID (C) Displays the phone numbers of callers who called you on the phone line connected to your HD Receiver (works only if you subscribe to your telephone company's caller ID service). In the Guides, this button lets you sort programs by category.

CH+/CH- Change channels on your receiver or, if the remote control has been programmed, on your TV or VCR. In the receiver’s guide screens, these buttons scroll a page at a time. They also work as chapter skip buttons on some DVD players.

DIRECTV Makes the remote control operate your HD Receiver (e.g. to change channels, access the Guide, or get information about a program). Your remote control does not need to be programmed to operate your HD Receiver. This button lights up when you press a valid button in DIRECTV mode.

EXIT Removes any menu or display from the screen and returns you to normal viewing.

FORMAT Cycles through the formats available for your display type.

FREEZE (B) In DIRECTV mode, takes a still picture of the TV screen. Press FREEZE again to return to normal viewing (please note that you won’t see the part of the program you missed while the picture was frozen). In the Guide, this button lets you see program listings for different times.

GUIDE In DIRECTV mode, displays the HD Receiver’s full on-screen Program Guide.
