Introduction

For information about the individual buttons on the remote control, please refer to the inside front cover of this guide. Before programming the remote control, you must first insert the batteries and complete Guided Setup.

Using the Remote with a TV and A/V Stereo System

The DIRECTV remote will already work with your recorder. You can also set it up to control your TV and A/V stereo system. For example, you can set up the remote to:

Control TV power, volume, mute, and input settings: Complete the instructions on page 111 using the first column in each of the tables (TV power, volume, and mute). Then repeat the instructions using the second column (TV input).

Control TV and A/V receiver power; A/V stereo system volume and mute: Complete the instructions on page 111 using the first column in each of the tables. Then repeat the instructions using the third column (A/V receiver power, volume, and mute). In this case, the TV POWER button turns on/off both the TV and the A/V receiver. The VOL and MUTE buttons control only the A/V receiver.

Control TV power and A/V stereo system volume and mute: Complete the instructions on page 111 using the first column in each of the tables. Then repeat the instructions using the fourth column (A/V receiver volume and mute). The VOL and MUTE buttons control only the A/V receiver.

The SAT/TV switch sets the remote control to send channel changing signals to either the recorder (SAT) or the television (TV). If you program the remote to control the volume on the A/V receiver, it continues to control the A/V receiver’s volume when you change the SAT/TV switch to TV.
