Grundig Platinum PVR Remote Control - Manual (Page 30)

When you
press a button
on the remote
control, the
device doesn’t
do what you
expect. • Maybe you’re
trying to control a
device and you’re
not pointing the
remote control
right at it.
• Maybe the remote
control is missing
batteries, maybe
you put the
batteries in the
remote the wrong
way, or maybe the
batteries are weak
or dead.
• Maybe you didn’t
set the remote to
the mode for the
device you want to
control.
• Maybe you didn’t
set up the remote to
control the device.
• UHF signals from a
neighbor’s remote
may be blocking
signals from your
remote.
• Remember, the remote control uses IR
signals to control all devices except for
the receiver. IR signals travel only
40 feet or less, and can’t go through
walls or other solid objects. You must
point the remote control right at the
device, with no objects to block
the signal path.
• If the batteries are missing or dead, put
fresh AAA-size batteries in. If the
remote has fresh batteries, check
whether you put them in the right way.
If you didn’t, take them out and put
them in the right way.
• Make sure you set the remote to the
mode for the device you want
to control.
• Make sure you set up the remote
to control all the devices you want
to use.
• Put a UHF attenuator on the receiver’s
UHF Remote Antenna input. This
will help keep stray signals from
blocking your remote’s signals, but
also cut down how far away you can
use the remote.
When you
press the
remote control
Mute or
Volume
button,
nothing
happens.
• Maybe you’re
trying to control
TV volume but you
set up the remote
to control a tuner or
amplifier in
Aux
mode.
• Maybe you’re
trying to control
tuner or amplifier
volume but you set
up the remote
to control a TV
in
Aux mode.
Set up the remote to control either
TV volume or tuner/amplifier volume,
whichever you want.
