Setting Up the Remote
The D900 Universal Remote can be
programmed to control the DSS Digital
Satellite Systems, VCRs, TVs, Laserdisc
players, and Cable boxes that are remote-
controllable.
Programming the Remote
The remote has already been programmed
for RCA, GE, and ProScan TVs and VCRs.
Other manufacturer’s brands need to be
programmed.
To determine whether your remote needs
to be programmed for the TV or VCR
button, point the remote at the device and
press the device button. If the device turns
on, then the remote is already
DSS and the Digital Satellite System are registered trademarks of Hughes
Communications, a division of GM Hughes Electronics.
2

programmed. If not, follow these steps to
program the remote.
1. Look up your brand and its code
number(s) on the code list .
2. Press and hold the device button.
3. Enter the three-digit code from the
specific code list.
4. Press CHAN UP or DOWN to see if the
channel changes on the device. If it
doesn’t, try the next code listed for your
brand.
5. Repeat these steps until pressing the
CHAN UP/DOWN buttons changes the
channel.
Also, the ALT button can be used for a
second TV or VCR device, laserdisc player,
or cable box. Because no laserdisc or
cable box button appears on the remote,
substitute the VCR button for a laserdisc
3

player and the DSS button for the cable
box. Here’s an example of how the ALT
button is programmed for a Cablestar
cable box:
1. Press and hold the ALT button.
2. Press the DSS button.
3. Press 007.
4. Release the ALT button and press the
CHAN UP button.
5. If the channel does not change on the
cable box, repeat steps 1 through 4
using one of the other code numbers
listed for Cablestar.
6. Repeat steps until channel changes.
When the channel changes, you have
programmed the remote.
For easy reference, record the codes.

Using Remote with a device
Once the remote has been programmed
with the proper codes, you are ready to
use it with your devices.
Operating the Device
1. Press the device button (TV, DSS,
VCR, ALT) to set the remote to control
the device (some TVs might turn on
when you press TV).
2. Press OFF/ON to turn the device on or
off.
3. Use those buttons that may apply to
the device.

Button Description
Some buttons may not work with all
devices; you may want to experiment with
each button to determine those that work
your component.
0-9 (number buttons) Allows you to select
menu items quickly and enter numerical
values in some display screens. Also allows
you to show a channel’s listings quickly in the
Program Guide, and directly tune to a
channel number.
ALT Tells your remote to control an alternate
device such as a TV, VCR, Cable box, or
Laserdisc player.
ARROWS Used to point to—or highlight—
different items in the DSS Program Guide or
menu system.
11

12
ALT AUD (alternate audio) Used to select

program. Continue to press ALT AUD to
cycle through the available audio channels.
CHAN UP or CHAN DOWN (channel
up/down) Scans up and down the channels
programmed in the current channel list (like
using your regular TV remote). Also allows
you to page through the DSS Program Guide.
CLEAR Removes all on screen displays from
the TV screen. Any uncompleted display
screen is canceled and the previous setting
restored.
DSS Turns on the DSS Satellite Receiver and
puts the remote in DSS mode (the remote
now controls the DSS Satellite Receiver).

FAV (favorite) Selects a channel scan list.
Continue to press the FAV button to cycle
through the four DSS channel scan lists:
Normal, Favorite A, Favorite B, and All
channels.
GUIDE Brings up the DSS PROGRAM
GUIDE. Use the ARROWS to point to
choices in the program guide, menus and
display screens. Press SELECT to make the
selection.
Pressing the GUIDE button more than once
brings up special guides as they are made
available by your service providers. Press the
GUIDE button again to turn the special
guides off.
MENU Brings up the Main menu. If you are
already in a menu, pressing MENU returns
you to the previous screen.
13

14
MUTE Turns the TV’s sound off. Press
MUTE again to restore the sound.

PREV CH (previous channel) Swaps the
current channel with the last channel you
tuned to.
SELECT/DISPLAY Selects a program in the
DSS program guide or a choice in a menu.
When viewing a program, it brings up a
channel marker providing detailed program
information. When previewing a coming
attraction or pay-per-view event, SELECT
provides purchase information.
TV Turns on the TV. Also puts the remote in
TV mode (the remote now controls the TV).

TV/DSS Switches the OUT TO TV output
from the satellite signal to the home antenna
or cable signal (if one is connected to the IN
FROM ANTENNA jack in the back of the
DSS box).
VOL UP or VOL DOWN (volume
up/down) Controls the TV volume output
(if the remote is programmed to control the
TV).
VCR Tells your remote to control the VCR
instead of the DSS box or TV.
TV/VCR Switches the incoming signal from
the TV to the VCR.
