Installing a UHF Attenuator

Unwanted UHF signals may interfere with signals from the remote control to the receiver. To prevent such interference, you can install an F-connector attenuator between 6dB and 15dB. Attenuators are available from many consumer electronics parts stores. Adding this attenuator will help reduce interference from other devices, but it also cuts down how far away you can use the remote control.

1Remove the remote control antenna from the REMOTE ANTENNA input on the receiver back panel.

2Attach an attenuator (between 6dB and 15dB) to the REMOTE ANTENNA input.

3Attach the remote control antenna to the attenuator.
