Place Batteries in the Remote
Control
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the batteries in your
digital satellite receivers remote control.
Note: When replacing old batteries, you may need to reprogram the remote
control to operate other devices.
1. Remove the cover from the battery compartment.
2. Insert batteries in the battery compartment, matching the + and end of
each battery.
3. Replace the cover.
Plug in and Turn On the Receiver
Plug the end of the power cord into the wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug
completely.
To turn on the satellite receiver, press the SAT button on the remote control or
the ONOFF button on the front panel. If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or
Proscan, press the TV button on the remote control to turn on the TV. If your
TV brand is not RCA, GE, or Proscan, see page 25 in the next section, Using the
Remote Control, for details on programming the satellite receivers remote

Locating the VCRs Infrared
Remote Control Sensor
The VCR Controller must be affixed directly over the infrared remote control
sensor on your VCR.
Some VCRs have a label that identifies the remote control sensor, but others do
not. If the IR sensor is labeled on your VCR, affix the VCR Controller directly
over the sensor. For VCRs that do not label the sensor, you can use the VCRs
remote control to locate the VCRs sensor before affixing the VCR Controller
cable.
To Find the VCR’s Remote Control Sensor:
1. Hold the VCRs remote control so that it is touching the front of the VCR.
2. Slowly move the remote control over the front of the VCR while repeatedly
pressing the remote controls power button.
3. When your VCR turns on/off, you have located the remote control sensor.
Note: To test the VCR controllers position, use a piece of vinyl tape to
temporarily attach the VCR controller to the spot where you think the sensor
is located. Then see Selecting a VCR Type on page 19 to see if the VCR
Controller is positioned correctly.
