TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: Light at the top of the remote blinks when you

press a key, but the component does not respond.

SOLUTION 1: Try replacing the batteries (see page 7). SOLUTION 2: Make sure you are aiming the DIRECTV

Universal Remote Control at your home entertainment component and that you ar e within 15 feet of the component you are trying to control.

PROBLEM: The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control does not contr ol component or commands are not recognized properly.

SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being set up. Make sure all components can be operated with an infrared remote control.

PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly. SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for y o ur b r and . Som e c o m bo

units may require both a TV code and a VCR code for full operation (see page 8).

PROBLEM: CHAN

S, CHANT, and PREV do not work for

your RCA TV. SOLUTION: Due to RCA design for certain models (1983-

1987), only the original remote control will operate these

functions.

PROBLEM: Changing channels does not work properly. SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressing

ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on the DIRECTV

Universal remote control after entering a channel number.

PROBLEM: Remote control does not turn on Sony or Sharp TV/ VCR Combo.

SOLUTION: For pow er on, these p rod ucts req uire setting u p TV codes on the remote control. For Sony, use TV code 10000 and VCR code 20032. For Sharp, use TV code 10093 and VCR code

20048. (See “Controlling Other Components” on page9.)
