IMPROVING RECEIVER CONTROL
These instructions help you improve your remote control settings to best operate your
satellite receiver.
Changing the Remote Control Address
Because UHF signals travel long distances and go through walls, a neighbor’s remote
may control your receiver by mistake. To prevent this, you can change the remote
address.
1 Press SYSTEM INFO on the receiver's front panel. The System Information screen
displays on the TV and shows the Remote Address.
Write down the Remote Address:
2 Press and hold SAT on your remote control for about three seconds, until all of the mode
buttons light up, and then release SAT.
3 Use the NUMBER PAD to enter any number between 1 and 16, but not the one you wrote
in step 1.
4 Press POUND (#). If you entered the address correctly, SAT will flash three times.
Write down the number you entered:
5 Press RECORD. Make sure the Remote Address you see on the System Information
screen is the same as the one you entered in step 3. If it isn't, the remote cannot control
the receiver.
6 Press SELECT to close the System Information screen.
