5. Repeat step 4 four more times for the remaining digits; i.e., press number 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit and 5 for the final digit.

CHANGING VOLUME LOCK

Depending on how you set up your remote, the VOL and MUTE may control the volume only on your TV, regardless

of the position of the MODE switch. This remote can be set up so that the VOL and MUTE keys work only with the component selected by the MODE switch. To enable this feature, perform the following steps:

1. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the DIRECTV position flashes twice, then release both keys.

3. Using the number keys, enter 9-9-3. (The green light flashes twice.)

4. Press and release the SELECT key. (The green light flashes twice.)

NOTE: DIRECTV

Receivers don’t have volume control,

so the remote will not allow the user to lock volume to the DIRECTV mode.

ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE RF TRANSMITTER

Your DIRECTV Remote Control features RF (radio frequency) capability. When you activate the RF feature of your remote control, you can control your DIRECTV Receiver from anywhere in your home. You do not need to be within the line of sight of your receiver to control it.

NOTE: Not all DIRECTV Receivers are RF-capable.

Also, some RF-capable DIRECTV Receivers include integrated RF antennas and do not require an external antenna. If your receiver requires the external RF antenna, before activating the RF transmitter, locate the RF antenna included with your remote control and insert it into the RF remote antenna coaxial connector on the back of your DIRECTV Receiver.

Activating the RF Transmitter

To activate the RF transmitter on your DIRECTV Remote Control, perform the following steps:

1. Locate the 12 digit Receiver ID (RID) number of your

DIRECTV Receiver. You can find the RID number on the back panel of your receiver, or inside the CAM access door next to the reset button.

2. Write down the last six digits of the RID number.

3. Slide the mode switch to DIRECTV, AV1, or AV2.

4. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the

green light under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.

5. Using the number keys, enter 9 6 1. (The green light

flashes twice.)

6. Press and release

CHANS. (The green light flashes

twice.)

7. Using the NUMBER keys, enter the the last six digits of

the RID number. (See step 2 above.)

8. Press and release the SELECT key. (The green light

flashes twice.)

Deactivating the RF Transmitter

To deactivate the RF transmitter on your DIRECTV Remote Control, perform the following steps:

1. Slide the mode switch to DIRECTV, AV1, or AV2.

2. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the

green light under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.

3. Using the number keys, enter 9 6 1. (The green light

flashes twice.)

4. Press and release CHANT. (The green light flashes

twice.)

The RF transmitter on your remote control is now deactivated. To reactivate the RF transmitter, See “Activating the RF Transmitter” above.

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS

To reset all the functions of the remote control to the factory defaults (the original, out-of-the-box settings), follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light flashes twice, then release both keys.

2. Using the number keys, enter 9-8-1. (The green light flashes 4 times.)

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 are within 15 feet of the component you are trying to control.

PROBLEM: The DIRECTV Universal Remote Control does not control 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 your brand. Some combo

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 power on, these products require setting up

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 page 9.)
