Receiver Description and Installation
UHF Remote Control Antenna
Attach a UHF Remote Control Antenna
Attach the UHF remote control antenna to the receiver's back panel R EMOTE
A NTENNA
input so you can use your UHF Pro remote control.
N ote : Be sure to set the antenna straight up so you can use the remote control
from as far away as possible. Don't let the antenna touch anything.
Note : For best off-air reception use an outdoor antenna, but if you do use an
indoor antenna, ensure it is a few feet from the receiver. Do NOT place it on top
of the receiver because the off-air antenna can interfere with the UHF remote
control antenna.
If your UHF Pro Remote Control isn't working very well from far
away, you may be experiencing interference from objects near your
receiver. To improve your remote control's operation, try any or all of
the following:
• Place the receiver higher than all of the other equipment in your
entertainment center.
• Provide room above the receiver so that the antenna can be
installed straight up. If this is not possible, tilt the UHF antenna at
about a 45° angle.
• Place the UHF antenna outside the entertainment center by using
a coaxial cable to connect the antenna to the receiver.
• Try moving the receiver to other locations.
• Attach an attenuator between the UHF remote antenna and the
R EMOTE A NTENNA
input.
