Setting Remote control type
The DIRECTV® HD Receiver supports both IR remote (default) and RF remote (optional). You can use this menu to set the type of the remote to use.
Most of the cases, it is recommended to set as IR & RF. However, sensitivity of the IR remote can be deteriorated in the area where much RF noise or other noise occurs. In this case, set to the IR remote.

1Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2Highlight the Setup menu item, then press the SELECT button.
3Highlight the Installation menu item, then press the SELECT button.
Highlight the Remote Control Setup menu item, then press the
4 SELECT button.
The Remote Control Setup menu appears.
Highlight the Remote Control Type menu item, then press the
5 SELECT button.

Move the highlighted bar to the intended setting value using the arrow button and press the
