Remote Control Problems

 

4 

Check that nothing is between the      remote control and the      remote sensor.

4  

Make sure the      remote control is in  DIRECTV mode. Slide the   MODE switch to the DIRECTV position so the      remote will control the 
DIRECTV Plus Receiver.

4  

Check the  batteries in the      remote control. They may be weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. 

4  

If you’re entering a channel number that is less than four digits long, the receiver might wait two seconds before   tuning to the channel. 
Press ENTER after entering a channel number to tune immediately.

4  

If you are trying to operate a device other than the DIRECTV Plus Receiver that you have programmed the      remote to control, make 
sure you fi rst slide the input switch to the corresponding device (DVD player, VCR, etc.). The indicator light for the component you’re 
trying to control should light up when you press a valid key for that component. If it doesn’t, make sure the input switch is clicked into 
the correct position.

The batteries in the      remote control are running low and should be replaced soon. (Note that when you replace the batteries, you may have to 
reprogram your      remote to control other devices.)

Fine-Tuning the Signal

If you self-installed your satellite dish antenna, you may have already used   Guided    Setup to fi nd the   dish-pointing coordinates, acquire and 
fi ne-tune the signal and run a system test. If you need to run   Guided    Setup again, select Settings from the  Quick Menu, then select   Guided 
  Setup. Next, press SELECT on Satellite, then select Repeat   Satellite    Setup.

Important

If your TV is connected with just coaxial cables, you must tune to Channel 3 or 4, as set with the 3/4 switch on the back of your 
DIRECTV Plus Receiver.
