Changing the Address for Remote Control
Because UHF radio signals travel longer distances and can pass through walls, a
neighbor’s UHF Pro remote control may be able control your receiver by mistake. To keep
this from happening, you can change the remote address. Also, you can use these

screen displays on the TV and shows the current Remote Address.

the Remote Address:

the mode buttons light up, and then release SAT.
3 Use the NUMBER PAD buttons to enter any number between 1 and 28, but not the one
you wrote in step 1. If you wrote down an odd number in step 1, choose an even number;
if you wrote down an even number, choose an odd number to enter here. See page 73.

flash three times.
Write down the number you entered:
5 Press and release the remote control’s RECORD button. Make sure the Remote Address
you see on the System Information screen is the same as the one entered in step 3. If it
isn't, the remote cannot control the receiver. If it is the same number, your remote is linked.
