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. 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. Mak e s ure all components can be operated with an infrared remote control.

PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly. SOLUTION: Some TV/VCR combo units require a VCR

code. VCR codes are not supported in this product.

PROBLEM:

CHANS, 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.

5. Press PWR, or other functions you want to use.

6. Point the remote at the TV or component and press

CHANS. Repeatedly press CHANS until the TV or

component turns off.

NOTE: Every time

CHANS is pressed the remote advances to

the next code and po w e r is trans mi tt ed t o the c o mponent.

7. Use the

CHANT key to step back a code.

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. Us in g th e n um ber keys, enter 9-8-1. (The gre e n light flashes 4 times.)

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 (not all functions may work as the remote does not support VCR codes). For Sharp, use TV code 10093 (not all functions may work as the remote does not support VCR codes).
