1. Introduction
Your universal remote control is simple to program, easy to use, and can operate up to five (5) devices, which include:
SAT |
Satellite receivers |
TV |
Televisions |
DVD |
DVD |
AUDIO |
Audio receivers, amplifiers, CD players |
AUX |
VCRs, 2nd TV, 2nd DVD, 2nd Audio device |
Before you can use your remote control, it must be programmed (set-up) to operate the above devices.
2. Before Getting Started
Some of the special features and buttons on your remote control are as follows:
Point and Press® Programming
Lets you program your TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO devices without codes. For more information, see Sections 5 and 14.
Memory Guard®
Eliminates reprogramming after battery changes.
Time Out
If the same button is pressed and held for 30seconds, your remote control will turn itself off automatically. This extends the battery life should the remote become lodged under or between heavy objects, for example sofa cushions.
3. Installing. Replacing Batteries
Install two (2) new “AA” batteries as indicated by the diagram in the battery compartment.
When the batteries become low and need to be replaced, the [SAT], [TV], [DVD], [AUDIO], [AUX] buttons will not illuminate normally or at all during use.
When this happens, replace the existing batteries with two (2) new “AA” batteries to restore normal operation to the remote control.
4. If You Have More Than One Satellite Receiver
Your remote control is set at the factory to control all of the functions on your Motorola satellite receiver. However, if you have more than one satellite receiver, you may want to prevent the remote control in one room from affecting the satellite receiver in another room. To prevent this kind of interference, you must "pair" each remote control with each receiver by assigning a new "address" to each combination. This “address” assignment is made using your remote control as follows:
1.Press the [SAT] button to select the remote control’s SAT mode.
2.Press the [Options] button to display the Options screen on your TV.
3.On the Options screen, use the [▲], [▼], [◄], [►] buttons to highlight the Change System Settings / System Setup option, then press [Enter].
4.On the Systems Setting / Setup screen, use the [▲], [▼], [◄], [►] buttons to highlight the Change Installation Settings / System Settings (applies to DSR 5xx, 207, 317 receivers) option, then press [ENTER].
5.On the System Settings (applies to DSR 5xx, 207, 317 receivers) screen, use the [▲], [▼], [◄], [►] buttons to highlight the Installation Settings option, then press [ENTER]
6.On the Installation Settings screen, use the [▲], [▼], [◄], [►] buttons to highlight the Remote Control Address option, then press [ENTER]
7.Once you are on the Remote Control Address screen, disregard the instructions on the screen and follow these steps using the remote control keypad….
a.In this order, press and hold the [MUTE] button, then the [ENTER] button. Hold both buttons down together until the mode buttons illuminate in rotation (i.e. SAT Æ TV Æ DVD Æ AUDIO Æ AUX Æ SAT…). Release both buttons as soon as the mode buttons illuminate.
b.Enter any one of the following addresses: [000], [001], [002], [003], [004], [005], [006],
[007].Entry of the 3-digit of each address stores the address automatically and causes the mode buttons to blink and go out.
c.Press the [ENTER] button to set the same address in your Satellite Receiver. The new address will be displayed in the upper right corner of your TV screen.
d.Exit from the Remote Control Address screen.
