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
controlling your
receiver.
• Remember, the remote control uses
IR signals to control all devices
except for the receiver (when using
the UHF antenna). 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.
• Press the correct mode button to 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. See Remote Control Setup
on page 5.
• Change your remote and receiver
address (see Setting Up to Control
the Receiver on page 5).
When you
press the
remote control
Mute or
Volume
button,
nothing
happens.
• Maybe you have
not set up the
remote control.
• 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.
• See Setting Up to Control Other
Devices on page 8.
• Set up the remote to control either
TV volume or tuner/amplifier
volume, whichever you want.
