DirecTV HIRD-D11 - Manual (Page 67)

P AGE 8-1
You can use the remote control that came with your digital satellite receiver to control other
components in your entertainment system. The remote control will control
your digital satellite receiver and most brands of TVs brands and VCRs.
Programming the Remote
Control
There are two ways to program your remote control to match you equipment:
code scan and code entry. Code scan can take some time, but it avoids having
to refer to this manual to program your remote control. Code entry saves
some time but you will need to look up the codes assigned to the devices.
Programming Mode
Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to control during this
process. The remote control will send out the “power” command for the
device being programmed.
While holding down the device key (i.e., TV) that you are programming,
press the “Mute” key for one full second. Then release the keys. The device
key should light and stay lit. If it doesn’t, repeat the process.
Then choose either the code scan or code entry method.
Code Scan
Once you are in programming mode, repeatedly tap the key to step
through the codes, sending out the power command. This could take some
time since there are could be many for each type of device. When your device
shuts off, you have found the code. If you inadvertently go past a code that
responded, or realized that you may not have been aiming the remote at the
device, you can use the
key to step backward through the codes. Press the
key to verify that you haven’t missed the code. In order to lock in the
code, press the device key again. The remote will remember the code until
you reprogram it.
Code Entry
First, look up the device type and brand in the following charts. You will find
a list of numbers; one or more of which should operate your device. If there is
more than one code, you will need to try each of them to find the one that
works best.
Once you are in code entry mode, enter the three-digit code. Press the device
key being programmed once again to lock in the entered code. The remote
will remember the code until you reprogram it.
