Setting Up the RF Antenna
Note
Do not place the RF antenna directly
on top of the DSS receiver or near
other metal objects. For best result,
place the RF antenna in a visible
location.
The RF antenna lets you take advantage of the RF (radio frequency)
feature, which enables the remote control to operate the DSS receiver
even if the receiver is located in another room. In other words, with the
RF feature, the remote control does not require a direct line-of-sight to
the front panel of the DSS receiver.
Note
You must set up the RF antenna only if you plan on taking advantage of the
RF feature.
To set up the RF antenna:
1 Connect the RF antenna to the DSS receiver's RF REMOTE jack.
2 Place the RF antenna at least one foot away from the DSS receiver.
3 Use the on-screen displays to set up the DSS receiver to accept RF
transmission (RF ONLY). See "Setting Up the Remote Control" on
page 69 for details.
The DSS receiver is shipped with IR reception enabled and RF
reception disabled. To use the RF feature, you must first change the
factory setting (IR ONLY) to the RF setting (RF ONLY) using the on­
screen displays, as described on page 69.
Note
The operating range of the DSS
remote control is about 100 ft. This
may decrease due to ambient radio
wave conditions, your room's walls,
etc.
Optional Setup
□ The RF antenna can be mounted to a wall using the enclosed
screws or by using two pieces of double-sided tape (supplied).
