Remote Control Problems

Problems with the remote control

Maybe something is between the remote control and the remote sensor.

Maybe the remote control is not in SAT mode. Press the SAT (or, if your remote is older, SAT1 or DIRECTV) button so the remote will control the digital satellite receiver.

Remember to press the OK button after entering a channel number that is less than four digits long.

Maybe batteries in the remote control are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note that when you replace the batteries you may have to reprogram your remote to control other devices.)

Remove batteries; press and hold the 1 button for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote control. Release number 1, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) reprogram the remote.

If you are trying to operate a device other than the digital satellite receiver that you have programmed the remote to control, make sure you press the corresponding device button (DVD, VCR2, etc.) first.

TV or VCR Problems

Blank screen

Maybe the component connected to the input jacks is not turned on.
