The advanced radio-frequency remote control works from anywhere within most homes. Sim- ply press the desired button. You do not need to aim the remote at the media center.

Note: Some types of buildings create “dead spots” where the remote will not operate. Move the remote a foot or two and try again. You can also move the media center a few feet to a location with better remote response, or extend the media center’s power cord which contains the antenna for the remote control.
