DirecTV H20 Guía Del Usuario

Using Your IR/RF Remote to Control Your DIRECTV HD 
Receiver

You can skip this section if you setup your Remote Control during Guided Setup. It is included here if 

you skipped that part, or if you want to change your Remote setup later.

Th

  e remote control included with your DIRECTV HD Receiver works in either IR (infrared) or RF 

(radio frequency). IR is the “typical” type of remote you are already familiar with from other remotes 

you may have —    the remote must be pointed at the device for it to respond.  RF allows you to operate 

the DIRECTV HD Receiver without having to point your remote directly at it, such as when the 

receiver is installed in a cabinet, or you use the remote from another room in your house. Th

 e operating 

range of the remote is up to 200 feet, with some possible decrease due to weak  batteries or obstacles such 

as walls in your house. Once programmed, your RF will be addressed to only one receiver, so will not 

aff ect other receivers in your home.

To setup your remote for RF, press the MENU key, press SELECT on Settings, then select Remote from 

the left menu. Press SELECT on the IR/RF Setup button. Follow the onscreen instructions to confi gure 

your remote.

A remote that 
can go through 
walls? That’s 
right: We’re 
rethinking your 
remote, too.
