Installing a UHF Attenuator

Unwanted UHF signals may interfere with signals from the remote control to the receiver.
To prevent such interference, you can install a 10 dB attenuator (available from many
consumer electronics parts stores). Adding this attenuator will help keep out stray UHF
signals, but it also cut down how far away you can use the remote control.
CONTROLLING OTHER COMPONENTS
To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, tuner,
amplifier, or DISH Network satellite receiver), you must first program it to control these
other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in Setting Up Using
Device Code Tables on page63, or the Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan procedure
described on page64.
1Remove the UHF antenna from the UHF Remote
Antenna input on the receiver back panel.
2Attach a 10 dB attenuator to the UHF Remote
Antenna input.
3Attach the UHF antenna to the attenuator.
