Remote control overview

Here is a quick review of the buttons on your DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver’s remote control.

Before your DIRECTV HD Receiver’s remote control can operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, or other device, you must first program the remote control to operate that device.

See Chapter 8: Programming the remote control.

POWER

Turns the device you are controlling on or off.

SET

Use this button when programming your remote control to operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, or an auxiliary device (AUX). See Chapter 8, Programming the remote control.

TV, VCR, DVD, AUX

These buttons tell your remote control which device to operate. For example, to start playing a DVD, you would press DVD, then press the Play button. These buttons work only after the remote control has been programmed.

DIRECTV

Makes the remote control operate your DIRECTV HD Receiver (e.g. to change channels, access the Guide, or get

information about a program). Your remote control does not need to be programmed to operate your DIRECTV HD

Receiver.
