Programming a Remote to run your Receiver.
If you purchased a new remote or your remote just stopped working, you may need to program it to work with your receiver. Whether it is a remote for a single tuner receiver or dual tuner receiver your remote has to match the address the receiver has.
1) You can find out what remote address your receiver is set at by looking at the System Info screen. You can get to the System Info screen by finding the button on the front of the receiver or if you have a remote that still works press the menu button twice.
2) Once you have the System Info on screen you need to look for the remote address number. Depending on the receiver you have or the remote you have, you will be looking for either the Primary Remote Address or Secondary Remote Address. If the remote has a green tab at the bottom that says 1, that is your primary remote. If it has a blue tab at the bottom that says 2, that is your secondary remote.
3) When you find out what the correct number is, pick up the remote that needs to be programmed and follow the next steps.
4) Press and hold the SAT button at the top of the remote until the rest of the mode buttons light up red.
5) Let go of the SAT button and it should be flashing either green or red.
6) Press the number on the remote that matches the number on screen.
7) Press the pound button.(#)
8) The SAT button should have flashed 3 times. If it did not flash you may need to start over.
