Chapter 2
Remote Control
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 (40 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly at the receiver, with no objects blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals to control the receiver and other devices it is programmed to operate.
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 remote control antenna to the receiver back panel (see page 17).
Remote Control 2 uses IR signals to operate other devices programmed into the remote control. 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.
