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. Checking the Remote Control Address Remote Control Setup Remote Control Setup Improving Receiver Control 1 Press and hold the SAT mode button for three seconds, until all of the mode buttons light up, and then let go of the SAT button. 2 Press POUND (#) twice. The SAT mode button will flash the same number of times as the address number (for example, three flashes means address 3).

Changing the Remote Control from UHF Pro to IR Your receiver accepts both UHF and IR (Infrared) commands. The remote control only outputs UHF Pro signals but can be changed to transmit IR commands by switching the key at the bottom. This is also useful for programming an after-market universal learning remote control to operate your receiver. Note that when the remote control is in IR mode, you will need to use it from the same room to operate the receiver because IR signals do not travel through walls or over great distances. 63 Chapter 10 Improving Receiver Control Adjusting the Remote Antenna Be sure to set the remote control antenna on the back of the receiver straight up to improve its operation. The remote control antenna should be angled away so the tip is separated from the electronics by a couple of inches, if possible. If your UHF Pro Remote Control isn't working very well from far away, you may be experiencing interference from objects near your receiver. To improve your remote control's range, try the following steps: – Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your entertainment center. – Provide room above the receiver so that the antenna can be installed straight up. – Move the remote control antenna away from the back of the entertainment center wiring and other electronics using a short piece of coaxial cable (3 to 5 feet). – Try moving the receiver to another location in the entertainment center. – Connect an F-connector attenuator (between 6dB and 15dB) between the REMOTE ANTENNA port and the remote control antenna, which may improve performance in certain circumstances. This solution works best when the remote control is being used within 75 feet of the receiver. Changing the UHF Frequency Using the A/B Switch Your remote has a switch to change the UHF frequency that your remote control uses. It comes preset to the A position but you can change the setting to the B position to lessen the likelihood of any other UHF remote interfering with yours. 1 Remove the battery cover from the remote control. 2 Use a small screw driver or a paper clip to carefully change the setting. 3 Put the battery cover back on the remote control. 4 Press the SYS INFO button on the front panel to open the System Information screen. 5 Press RECORD on the remote control.

To prevent such interference, you can install an F-connector attenuator between 6dB and 15dB. Attenuators are available from many consumer electronics par...
