DIRECTV Mobile Receiver/Controller User’s Guide

The INPUT button allows you to select a video feed from a different source

connected to your TV, such as a VCR (if the TV component button is

selected). The remote control must be programmed to operate your TV for the

INPUT button to work (see Section 3-2, “Programming the Remote Control to

Operate Other Components,” on page 3.9).

Use the VCR control buttons to operate your VCR or DVD player (the VCR

or DVD component button must be selected first). The remote control must be

programmed to operate your VCR/DVD player for the VCR control buttons to

work (see Section 3-2, “Programming the Remote Control to Operate Other

Components,” on page 3.9).

Press the HUGHES button to turn the remote control’s backlight on/off.
