UHF Remote Control Antenna

Attach a UHF Remote Control Antenna

Attach the UHF remote control antenna to the receiver's back panel REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use your UHF Pro remote control.

Note: Be sure to set the antenna straight up so you can use the remote control from as far away as possible. Don't let the antenna touch anything.

Note: For best off-air reception use an outdoor antenna, but if you do use an indoor antenna, ensure it is a few feet from the receiver. Do NOT place it on top of the receiver because the off-air antenna can interfere with the UHF remote control antenna.

If your UHF Pro Remote Control isn't working very well from far away, you may be experiencing interference from objects near your receiver. To improve your remote control's operation, try any or all of the following:

•Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your entertainment center.

•Provide room above the receiver so that the antenna can be installed straight up. If this is not possible, tilt the UHF antenna at about a 45° angle.

•Place the UHF antenna outside the entertainment center by using a coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.

•Try moving the receiver to other locations.

•Attach an attenuator between the UHF remote antenna and the

REMOTE ANTENNA input.
