RCA DTC210 Changing the RF Remote Control Code, Controlling a Second RCA Satellite Receiver

Using the Remote Control

Note:

If you want to control a second non-RCA satellite receiver, use the AUX1 or AUX2 buttons. See the Using Automatic Code Search section on the previous page for more information.

Controlling a Second RCA Satellite Receiver

The remote can control two RCA satellite or HD receivers. From the main menu, select System Setup, then Installation, then Remote Setup. Then follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the DIRECTV button is used to control the HD Receiver and the AUX1 button is used to control a second RCA satellite or HD receiver.

If your second receiver is an RCA, GE, or Proscan and you want to control it using the AUX1 button, use code 5001. Code 5000 is used by the DIRECTV button, which can't be re-programmed.

Changing the RF Remote Control Code

Your remote control is equipped with Radio Frequency (RF) functionality. This means that the remote control can operate your HD Receiver using both IR (infrared) signals and RF signals.

IR signals require line-of-sight to the receiver’s front panel remote sensor. RF signals can operate the receiver from other parts of your house—even through walls.

Installing your RF remote control antenna will increase the range of your satellite receiver’s remote control signal. See page 20 for more information.

If you are experiencing interference from other RF remote controls or devices, you may need to change the RF remote control code to avoid conflicts.

To change the Satellite Receiver’s RF Code:

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.Highlight Change and press SELECT.

6.Choose a number between 000 and 255. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter it as your RF remote control code.
