MODE SWITCH
Leave the
MODE SWITCH
at the DIRECTV setting for regular
TV viewing. You’ll only change the switch to alternate settings
when you wish to turn on/control different equipment
(i.e., DVD player) using your DIRECTV remote rather than the
equipment’s own remote.
EXAMPLE A
TV INPUT
Press to cycle to different inputs to your television
(i.e., DVD player). Be sure to cycle back to the DIRECTV/satellite
input when finished to resume regular viewing. Note that, if you
prefer to use the DIRECTV remote with this equipment instead of
its own remote, you’ll need to program the DIRECTV remote
accordingly (see Menu), and use the
POWER
key and
MODE
SWITCH
to turn the equipment on (see above).
EXAMPLE B
TV POWER ON & OFF
You can simultaneously control both DIRECTV Receiver
and TV when
MODE SWITCH
is at DIRECTV position.
There are some TVs that don’t support the dual-key format,
in which case you may find your receiver and TV out-of-sync
(one turns off when the other turns on); in this case,
press
TV POWER ON
a second time (or
TV POWER OFF
),
which should put them back in-sync.
EXAMPLE C
FUNCTION BUTTONS
(REWIND, REPLAY, STOP, ADVANCE, FAST FWD, PAUSE, RECORD AND PLAY)
Keep in mind, these keys aren’t meant to function when you’re
watching regular TV in DIRECTV mode. They’re available to use
when you’ve programmed the remote to control different
equipment such as a VCR, DVD player or a stand-alone DIRECTV
DVR unit and have switched to an alternate mode.
