Change Receiver ID If you are using a second satellite receiver in the same room, or you are using the RF remote control, you may want to change the receiver ID to avoid interference or “cross talk.” The remote control receiver ID can be either “50” or “51.” When using the RF antenna with the SAT-A65 receiver, the ID can be a number from “00” to “15.”

If you change the receiver ID, set your remote control to the desired ID number first. Use this procedure to set the remote control to use a different receiver ID:

1.Press the CODE SET button on the remote control.

2.Enter the desired receiver ID number, either “50” or “51” or a number from “00” to “15” when using the the RF antenna with the SAT-A65 receiver and the RM-Y807 remote control.

3.Test the remote control to ensure that it will control the DIRECTV receiver.

Set output channel Use the Output Channel menu button to toggle between channels 3 and 4, whichever is unused in your area.

Input key enable/disable The Input Key menu button allows you to turn the remote control TV/SAT button on and off.

Lock a channel Use the Channel Set menu button to set the DIRECTV Receiver to permanently stay on a specific channel. When you enter a channel number (5-0-0, for example) then select OK, the receiver will always power up on that channel (channel 500 in this example). The receiver will ignore any attempts to change the channel. Set this option to “Off” to permit normal channel selection.
