הקדמה

This manual provides instructions for the DIRECTV RC66RX IR/RF Remote Control. This remote is designed to operate most DirecTV receivers in both Infrared (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) modes. The RF feature allows control of the receiver without direct line-of-sight. It is compatible with various DirecTV receiver models including R16, R22, H21, H22, H23, H24, HR21, HR22, HR23, HR24, HR34, and C31. Two AA batteries are included with the remote for immediate use.

2. Programming for DirecTV Receiver

The RC66RX remote is typically pre-programmed to control your DirecTV receiver. If it does not respond, ensure the remote is set to the correct mode (usually 'DIRECTV' or 'SAT' if applicable, though this model primarily functions for DirecTV). For RF mode, your receiver must be compatible (R16, R22, H21, H22, H23, H24, HR21, HR22, HR23, HR24, HR34, C31). Refer to your DirecTV receiver's manual for specific RF pairing instructions if needed.

3. Programming for TV and Other Devices (IR Mode)

To control your television or other devices (e.g., AV receiver) with the RC66RX remote, you will need to program it using IR codes. This allows the remote to control functions like TV power, volume, and input.

  1. Locate the mode switch at the top of the remote. Slide it to the 'TV' position.
  2. Press and hold the 'MUTE' and 'SELECT' buttons simultaneously until the green light at the top of the remote blinks twice.
  3. Enter the 5-digit programming code for your TV brand. You can find these codes in your DirecTV receiver's user manual or on the DirecTV support webפּלאַץ.
  4. Point the remote at your TV and press the 'PWR' button. If the TV turns off, the code is correct.
  5. If the TV does not turn off, repeat steps 2-4 with the next code for your TV brand.
  6. Once the TV is programmed, slide the mode switch back to the 'DIRECTV' position to control your receiver.

IR vs. RF Mode

The RC66RX remote supports both Infrared (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) modes. IR mode requires a direct line of sight between the remote and the device being controlled. RF mode uses radio waves, allowing you to control your DirecTV receiver without pointing the remote directly at it, even if the receiver is in a cabinet or another room (within range). Ensure your DirecTV receiver is RF-compatible for this feature to work.

וישאַלט

באַטערי פאַרבייַט

When the remote's performance degrades or it stops responding, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section to replace the two AA batteries.

רייניקונג

To clean your remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the remote's electronics.

טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

  • ווייַט ניט ריספּאַנדינג: Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the mode switch is set to the correct device (e.g., 'DIRECTV' for receiver functions).
  • TV not responding to power/volume: Verify that the remote has been correctly programmed for your television using the IR programming steps. Ensure the mode switch is set to 'TV' when attempting to control TV functions.
  • Buttons sticking or unresponsive: This may indicate dirt or debris under the buttons. Gently clean the remote as described in the Maintenance section. If the issue persists, the remote may need replacement.
  • RF mode not working: Confirm your DirecTV receiver model is listed as RF compatible (R16, R22, H21, H22, H23, H24, HR21, HR22, HR23, HR24, HR34, C31). Ensure there are no major obstructions blocking the RF signal, although line-of-sight is not strictly required, extreme interference can affect performance.
