PROBLEM
I’m having problems changing
channels.
SOLUTION
If your original remote control required an Enter button press when
changing channels, press the ENTER button on the Hard Disk
Recorder remote control after you enter the channel number.
Only one device’s volume control
code is sent regardless of which
mode I have put the remote control in.
Refer to “Changing Volume Lock” on page 42 and unlock the volume
controls.
I’m using an IR blaster to control my
cable box or DBS receiver and I’m
having trouble changing channels
using the Hard Disk Recorder remote.
•This may be dependent on how many digits you needed to enter to tune
to a specific channel using the remote control for your cable box or
satellite receiver, prior to hooking up the Hard Disk Recorder. For
example, if you needed to enter 0 - 5 to tune to channel 5, you need to
“tell" the Hard Disk Recorder this information during the on-screen
setup. To update this information, you need to go back to Setup and
enter a new code for your cable box or satellite receiver.
1. Press the MENU button on the Hard Disk Recorder remote.
2. Choose Setup from the Main Menu, then choose Change Dialing &
Input Settings.
3. From the Setup Summary screen, choose the option number that
your cable box or satellite receiver is connected to.
4. Proceed through the steps to configure your box.
5. When you reach the screen that asks for your cable box or satellite
receiver setup code, do the following:
A. If your unit required 2 digits to tune to a one-digit channel, enter
the number 6 followed by the code for your box.
B. If your unit required 3 digits to tune to a one-digit ohannel, enter
the number 8 followed by the code for your box.
Refer to “Code Numbers For Your Components” on pages 47 and 48
to find your code.
6. Continue through the remaining screens and complete the setup.
7. Once you have completed setup, try changing the channels on your
cable box or satellite receiver.
8. If you are still having trouble changing channels, repeat step 5
above with the following changes:
• If you used step 5A, replace the number 6 with the number 7.
• If you used step 5B, replace the number 8 with the number 9.
My cable box sometimes fails to
change channels when using the
Hard Disk Recorder remote control.
If you are using the IR blaster, your cable box receives IR commands
from both the Hard Disk Recorder remote and the IR blaster. Some
cable boxes can be confused by this. You can prevent your cable box
from receiving the commands from the Hard Disk Recorder remote
control by affixing an opaque covering around the area where you
have placed the IR emitter on your cable box. Don’t cover the IR
emitter.
The Hard Disk Recorder does not
respond when I press buttons on the
remote control. Or, the image on my
television screen is “frozen.”
Press and hold the power button on the front of the unit for 10
seconds, then release. The Hard Disk Recorder will start up in a few
moments.
Unplug the power cord for 15 seconds then plug it back in. The Hard
Disk Recorder will restart and power on in a few moments.
