DIRECTV PLUS SYSTEM FROM HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS - OWNER’S MANUAL

The Remote Control

The HRMC-1 and HRMC-5 remote controls can control your DIRECTV PLUS System and most TV brands, as well as VCRs. The HRMC-5 can additionally control many other auxiliary devices such as cable boxes, amplifiers, and laser disc players.

The remote control uses an invisible infrared light to send signals to your components when you press the keys. You must aim the remote control toward the component for it to receive the command.

The mode keys across the top of the remote control enable you to specify the device you intend to control. This is important since many devices share the same keys, such

as the key and the numeric keys. You must press the appropriate device key before pressing a command key to make sure the remote control sends the right signal to the right device. The only keys that deviate from the rule are the blue keys, as they are always associated with the digital satellite receiver.

Four directional keys will cause the on-screen highlight to move in the direction you want. The keys will be referred to as , , , and .

The select key ( ) is one of the most important keys. Pressing the key will tell the digital satellite receiver that you wish to choose the highlighted item.

The arch of keys below the power and mode keys control frequently used

functions. These include special action ( ), information ( ),

guide (), exit ( ), and favorite ( ) keys.

The key is unique because it does nothing by itself. Pressing it displays the action icon in the upper left corner of your screen for a few seconds. During that time, other keys may be pressed to access special

functions indicated in yellow above the keys. Each will be describedThe HRMC-1 and HRMC-5 remote controls later in this manual.
