Improving Receiver Control
Adjusting the Remote Antenna
Be sure to set the remote control antenna on the back of the receiver straight up to improve its operation. The remote control antenna should be angled away so the tip is separated from the electronics by a couple of inches, if possible.
If your UHF Pro Remote Control isn't working very well from far away, you may be experiencing interference from objects near your receiver. To improve your remote control's range, try the following steps:
–Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your entertainment center.
–Provide room above the receiver so that the antenna can be installed straight up.
–Move the remote control antenna away from the back of the entertainment center wiring and other electronics using a short piece of coaxial cable (3 to 5 feet).
–Try moving the receiver to another location in the entertainment center.
–Connect an
REMOTE ANTENNA port and the remote control antenna, which may improve per- formance in certain circumstances. This solution works best when the remote control is being used within 75 feet of the receiver.
Changing the UHF Frequency Using the A/B Switch
Your remote has a switch to change the UHF frequency that your remote control uses. It comes preset to the A position but you can change the setting to the B position to lessen the likelihood of any other UHF remote interfering with yours.
1Remove the battery cover from the remote control.
2Use a small screw driver or a paper clip to carefully change the setting.
3Put the battery cover back on the remote control.
4Press the SYS INFO button on the front panel to open the System Informa- tion screen.
5Press RECORD on the remote control.
6Make sure the Remote Address field on the System Information screen shows the band that matches how you set the switch:
•Switch position A: IR/UHF Pro Band A
•Switch Position B: IR/UHF Pro Band B
