Remote Control
REMOTE CONTROL
The two remote controls give you access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You can set up each remote to control the satellite receiver and up to three other devices (see page 75). These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.
This section describes how to use the various features on the two types of remote controls included with your satellite TV system.
Types of Remote Controls
Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR) signals to:
•Control TV1 menus for the nearby TV in Dual Mode.
•Control the satellite receiver in Single Mode.
IR signals travel only short distances (60 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly at the device, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals
to control both the receiver and other devices programmed into the remote.
This remote control is identified by the green number 1 at the bottom of the remote control.
Remote Control 2 uses UHF Pro signals to:
•Control TV2 menus for the remote TVs in Dual Mode.
•Control the satellite receiver in Single Mode.
UHF Pro signals travel long distances and go through walls and other solid objects.
To use Remote Control 2 to control the receiver, you must attach the UHF antenna to the receiver back panel (see page 17).
Remote Control 2 uses IR signals to control other devices programmed into the remote. You must point the remote control directly at these devices, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
This remote control is identified by the blue number 2 at the bottom of the remote control.
