REMOTE CONTROL
A FEW HELPFUL TIPS
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.
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).
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 going 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.
(REWIND, REPLAY, STOP, ADVANCE, FAST FWD, PAUSE, RECORD AND PLAY)
FUNCTION KEYS
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.
