Line of Sight Is Important
Your remote user infrared (IR) to control devices and needs a clear line of sight to your TV, DVR or other device you’re trying to control. Move any items out of the way if they’re obstructing the signal between your remote and your device.
If you have an IR extender connected to your equipment, confirm it’s tightly connected to the input on the rear of your device, and make sure there is a clear line of sight between the IR extender and your remote.
Replace Remote Batteries
- Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote.
- Take out the old batteries and dispose of them according to your local battery recycling guidelines.
- Insert new batteries into your remote and replace the cover.
- Test your remote by pressing a button, such as Mute or Channel Up.
