Setting the Security Code

The DSS receiver and remote control are shipped with the RF security code set to 000.

If the DSS receiver is accepting or receiving signals from another RF remote control in your home (or from a neighbor’s house), you can eliminate this problem by changing the security codes for the DSS receiver and remote control.

Note

As an alternative, you can eliminate this problem by disabling the RF capability of the DSS receiver, if you have no need for RF transmission. See “Selecting IR/RF Transmission” on page 69 for details.

There are two steps to changing the RF security code: Step 1 is changing the DSS receiver’s security code; step 2 is changing the DSS remote control’s security code. Both the receiver and the remote control must use the same three-digit security code.

Step 1: Select the DSS Receiver’s RF Security Code
